Hmmm I thought MSFS had a reset key combination.

It is bad form to use any type of reset in simulation. If you have to
reset it, you've failed.

Do you re-install after a crash or do you pretend you're dead
and not use it anymore?

I usually restart the sim, depending on the aircraft. Add-ons don't
always restart gracefully.

OK... so going back to your earlier comments:
Breaking both wings off in the simulator is also a very safe maneuver
isn't it?

No, it causes the aircraft to crash.

Any injuries?

All aboard are lost.

How much did it cost for the new plane?

It depends on the aircraft, of course.

Are you a troll?

Why don't you head down to your local flight school and do a $100 trial
flight? You'll get a logbook and get to make your first entry in it.
You'll get to fly a real plane, hands on.

Yer a troll aren't ya

No.

flight?

In part because $100 is almost what I make in a week. In part because
there are no local schools. In part because I have no time or
transportation to get to a flight school. And in part because, even
if I enjoyed the flight, I have no resources to pursue any type of
real-world flying.

You'll get a logbook and get to make your first entry in it.

Wow. Do I get small appliances after logging a certain number of
hours?

You'll get to fly a real plane, hands on.

Wow.

Actually, I'd much rather have time on some full-motion sims.

So? Nothing ventured nothing gained.

How do you know? Flown a plane already? If not, you have no evidence to
make such a comparison.

I simply meant that I see no advantage to logging hours.

I'm already certain. A full-motion sim would be more fun than a
non-motion sim, in most cases, and it would have none of the drawbacks
of flying a real aircraft.
