Whose the nerd now? :O:

I was generalizing

And - gotta love Yeager. Anybody know a good NF-104 for flight ism?

Also - I've been looking for a good Space Ship One and Voyager. Ever since I met Burt Rutan (twice, actually), I've been obsessed

BTW - if you want a true late 40's multi engine experience, the A2A Boeing 377 with Accusim is the way to go. I got my oil pressure slightly wrong, and figured it was too negligible to worry about. So, I left it as it was for about 30 minutes and then one of the engines failed. Thank God I got her started again a few minutes later - I was fully loaded and needed the extra power to remain in the lower reaches of the jet stream.

Area 51's helicopters are great, too. You have to go by the book with their Huey and Bell 412 - no autostart

Nemeth Designs Russian helicopters are truly immersive in ways that were once hard to imagine.
They have tons of animations, fully clickable VC, and no autostart. You have to do everything, down to proper sequencing of the emergency systems tests. You even have to manually engage all the circuit breakers.

I'm an addict, haha
