The latest A2A Simulations birds are taking that kind of realism two notches up, they are “living”, aging creatures (or Tamagochis if you will) with a surprisingly high complexity. The only thing they’re (kind of) lacking is simulating other idiots using the plane in the meantime, messing up the intercom, fouling the plugs or not mentioning the collapsing backrest of the left seat.

very true man. I should start preflighting the sim just to make it more realistic. or call WX brief and talk to Lockheed for 15 minutes before I hop in.

good points all around, and an even better blog. thanks for writing.

I tried to the contact address but with no joy. CND4 Haliburton/Stanhope is not on the map display?

David, You should have called. I work for beer, or flight hours but do cut down your useful load by a large factor!

Sorry to hear your plane wasn’t as ready as you were but at least we got to see the sun for a moment.

Thanks, Louis. Not a bad suggestion on a day like today: I could even overlook the fact that all the club planes have the wings attached in the wrong place, up above the doors instead of underneath them. Do you have a new valet service, so that I don’t have to read over the journey log, and uncover, untie, preflight, and refuel the plane? 🙂

Seriously, when my plane’s actually working, I like being able to take it on long family trips, business trips, etc. and just park it at a different airport for a week. I like the 665 lb full-fuel useful load, the 125 kt true airspeed, and even the scratched-up, hard-to-see Stormscope mounted under the yoke(?!?). I guess I’m fond of the old hunk of aluminum, despite all my complaining: it fits me like an old sweater.
