That struck a funny bone in me. When I was deep into Aces of the Deep, I was on the beach with a broken leg recovering. I love the sound of the sea and AOD was perfect. So I ran the puter 24/7 and did it all in real time. I put a speaker near my bed (bunk) and immersed myself into the 4 on and 4 off drill. When a target was sighted the voices would force me out of my bed and hobble to the command center. Talk about immersion. Sick. I know. But even today, I shut the sim down with the last image on my screen - my bunk before I hit save. Sick. I know. The added feature is my real life bed faces out to sea and I hear real surf, awake to the gulls, grab some hot Joe and maybe start the sim (or not). I just may go sailing on the real sea here in the north Atlantic and get real salt spray in my face.
