I don't think you can completely eliminate this as people naturally don't like giving up their agency which is usually going to produce at least a low level of anxiety.
Agency and information in a way. I actually feel safer in a tiny 4 seater plane than a jet, even though objectively that's probably backwards. Being able to look at all the parts of the plane, how the movements derive from the pilot's actions, actually see out the front, it is more reassuring. More similar to being a passenger in someone's car. It probably doesn't hurt that it is easier for my mind to imagine a Cessn…
I like the idea of someone losing hundreds of millions of dollars if my plane goes down.

That's... why? I can understand slow games like EuroTruck or Farming Sim. But what's the point of this?
These days it's pretty unusual to think of an idea that hasn't been done yet, so when you do, I guess you just don't think too much and go make it.
Is there a mosquito simulator yet?

#75Geez how strong is the chess engine? No chance on hard... even on medium this is a struggle.
EDIT: which is true to form on some airlines lol (but on others, even hard is trivial)

#76I like the way it smashes the CPU so that the fans sound like jet engines.

I’m not at ease in an airplane. I rarely fly but i actually like it, but I’m really anxious.
What helps me is always taking a seat near the wings. First that’s where the plane moves the less. And moreover, it’s pretty reassuring watching them supporting the plane in their great stability, they always move way slower than the cabin.

#79Selfie mode was too funny these characters are ridiculous. Also a whole plane to myself? What a steal!

Except if you're the main character of a plot !
