True, but then you have to start thinking about oxygen.


I have a Skyox 4-place system, so that's not a problem, but you certainly
don't need O2 at 9000'.

And yes, even on a 43° C it's a helluva lot more fun flying a real
aircraft
than flying a computer in a climate controlled room.


That is a matter of opinion. Nothing is fun at 43° C.


Of course. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some are just more
relevant than others.
