I have a stealth 6 pac, camouflaged under an inch or two of
fat.

Since no one else seems to have a serious answer...

Is it a button on the dash, or just a circuit breaker on the left wall?


In either case, it's possible that the military trainer version (still
sold by Raytheon, according to their website) has such a label for
training purposes only... although none seemed to have had an actual
ejection seat.

It is well insulated, to keep that 6 pack cool.

That inch of fat can be extremely useful if you ever become seriously
ill, as it provides energy to help you recover. While being very thin
is not usually a health problem, it can work against a person who
develops a serious disease (including infections), because it leaves
no energy store for emergencies.

Why settle for 6 pack abs when you can have quarter keg abs?

Or it might just be a game...

Perhaps a call to Bill Gates or Paul Allen would be the best way to resolve
this issue?

There are rows of what look like buttons (but perhaps they are fuses
or circuitbreakers) along the left interior lower wall of the cockpit,
below the panel and roughly to the left of where I assume the pilot's
leg would be. One of them is marked EJECTION SEAT.

In either case, it's possible that the military trainer version (still
sold by Raytheon, according to their website) has such a label for
training purposes only... although none seemed to have had an actual
ejection seat.


I was just curious whether it corresponds to the real thing or is just
a discreet joke by the developers.

Why? They didn't write the code.

Do you have some sort of scientific or medical literature you can cite to
substantiate yet another one of your wild assertions?

Are you also a medical expert because you read about it on the internet or
did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express? Perhaps there's a Microsoft physician
sim that qualifies you as knowledgeable.
