    If you're not interested in the actual flying part then I'm not sure if it is worth it? I think the path for most people is first they get interested in flight simulation, frequent…

    I think at first you can just spawn on runways with the plane on and treat it more as a game than a simulator. Then you can start spawning at parking spots which will have your pla…

    > I enjoy flight sims, but I'm not sure I want to actually get a license. This was me in late 2021 / early 2022. I urge you to get a discovery flight! I did, and now I'm almost fin…

    Totally fair point. I think VATSIM shines in IFR yet MSFS arguably shines at lower altitudes / in a more VFR way where you can sort of do whatever you want (i.e. don't have to fly …

    Step 1: Have an interest for it. It sounds like you might! Once you know you want to, I think YouTube is a really fantastic resource. Also an active community on reddit (r/flightsi…

    I got my PPL irl last summer. IMO PilotEdge is fantastic for real pilots/student pilots that want to practice realistic VFR and/or IFR procedures. But if you want to just "have fun…

    Sometimes when I look things up, I find forum discussions from over 15 years ago. It's interesting observing how at first you might not realize it, and then they make references th…

    great so can I login with my youtube account now? I don't think I ever migrated it to a Google account (despite being asked to like a million times - would always say "later") and …

    Umm...I guess 'citation needed' on the VAC ban part? Valve has a very strict zero-tolerance policy w.r.t VAC bans. As far as I know, reversals are rare and only happen in mass when…

    I dunno, I submitted a ticket a few weeks back for a refund and got a human. I guess his first reply was canned but when I called him out on it, he was helpful and provided me with…

    Yeah it's weird especially since you just get done reading about how they get away with getting hit between the wings and then you get told "if you want to see this for yourself, w…

    Ahhh soooo annoying that it requires a Nexus 6. This sounds so awesome but I do not want a 6" phone. I'm hoping the next Nexus phone will have a smaller variant (and it will undoub…

    Yep. HL2 was the first game to require it. You would buy the game at best buy and then you'd need to go download this strange program and tie the game to your account. A lot of peo…

    I like the look of my iPhone 5s much better. This iPhone 6 thing looks like a Galaxy. The throwback to iPhone 1 is interesting but count me out. Not liking the design at all The pr…

    Thank god. I was sad to have to unfollow "Wimp.com". It was (and I guess sort of still is) a site that would upload 5 new videos a day. They'd be anything from funny to cute to jaw…

    You hear layoffs and you think about the company but ignore the people in the company? OK.

    I've never interviewed anyone, but also, if they don't ask me any questions about the company then I'm gonna think they simply don't care and they applied for the role "just for a …

    Well to be fair, they likely get many more applicants than you have interviews scheduled. And it's just a pre-screen, right? It's not like you have to make your decision right ther…

    This is obviously kind of delicate, but as someone who has referred to young-ish women as girls before, I'll at least attempt to explain my confusion. Men are often called "guys" -…

    Do you ever close an MSA after X amount of takedowns? Whether it be for DMCA notices or otherwise?
