    Nice, nice. But, isn't that seatbelt on the chair taking things a bit too far?

      I fail to see how being strapped down below 13 falling monitors adds to your safety.

    No. Having a computer to simulate any aircraft. as well as the awesome bragging rights is and will continue to be better than anything you can ever put up, save 14+ monitors. This man is godlike and should be treated as such. Can you even imagine how much better he is than us? millions of times better. godlike, man. GODLIKE.

    That's a total of 13 licenses needed. Are you inviting the BSA into your home or is 13 your lucky number?

    You can seriously crash a RL airplane once, with a lot of luck twice. And with this one you can crash over and over!

    Especially since most of those computers are running Windows 98...

    Why don't you take some real flying lessons, and maybe buy a plane?
    Totally agree with your careful conclusion.

    For the same reason, although we think Halo would be fun as fuck running on 16+ monitor screens, my friends and I have opted instead to take real sniping lessons, and buy a warthog.
