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, frequently in the context of flying airline jets. They sta

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 plane turned off. You can just youtube "<plane name&#x2

> 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 finished with my instrument rating. One of th

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 an assigned heading or route). I think flying VFR

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/flightsim, r/MicrosoftFLightSim etc). I recommend Microsof

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" VATSIM is the way to go, at least for

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 that make you look at the date and you realize you'r

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 now I have no idea how to login to it.

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 VAC bugs out and detects a legit program as a che

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 a full refund. (I had added funds to my Steam wallet to buy

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, watch the video" ... lol Still a good read wit

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 undoubtedly support Project Fi)

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 people were super pissed. Gabe Newell said "I know, I

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 dropping to inspiring to just plain interest

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 job". I don't want to wor

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 there and then if you do well in it.

Might be a dumb question ("have you tried restarting your computer?") but does the ISO come up through the web browser at onedrive.com? You only mentioned checking the sync folders.

That's fair. I think you did just find a use case for it? But I think the very fact that you won't install an app just for that (rightfully so in my opinion!) by definition means there is no value there.

There are plenty of examples of Microsoft releasing a product which initially had little uptake but that eventually, after several releases, did well. Even big ones like Windows, Office, and SQL Server are examples of this. As for unrelease
