MXSMANIC - The posts don't add up

The answer is that Myxo is a full-time TROLL who is laughing his socks off
at these threads. As long as they are about him, he's happy.
Killfile is the answer.

Probably just a front for the FBI or something, trying to get info from us about airplanes...

Some of those simmers get pretty ****in' involved in creating a home
sim cockpit... Check this one out:

From what I understand, some of these guys are actually running into
the limit of the number of USB devices that can be on a machine...

WTF. And you're going to tell me that's cheaper or easier than going on
an intro flight?

it is probably a lot more expensive actually, but it is a different hobby.
I am still trying to grasp the concept myself, but some folks have no
interest in actually flying...

I've no interest in flying. I use my time in 172s and 182s to simulate
computing. I cannot afford a display of the same quality as the view
provided by the simulator simulation, so I must settle for actually going
places.

LMAO. What can you use to clean wine off of a notebook screen?

Yes, for total hours flown.

Intro flights are typically well below $100. I don't think you'll get
anywhere near one of those setups for that amount, so the "hours flown" --
time during intro flight vs. the same amount of time in the sim -- would
be outrageously more expensive in the sim. And, at the end of the day,
you'd know a heck of a lot more about flying with the intro flight, so it
seems that the sim is money poorly spent either way if the ultimate goal
is to fly real planes.

$100 in France?
