Perhaps to simulate actually being at the field flying?? I put a bright light behind the monitor and wear my sunglasses...I'm hardcore....

I have asked you this questing before, and now I am going to ask you again. WHAT IS YOU PROBLEM??????

It's simple, if you don't have something positive to add to a thread when responding...well, just don't respond.

Maybe some people have thought some of your posts were stupid, but decided to keep their thoughts to themselves. I urge you to do the same. Trust me, you will make, and keep more friends if you could just learn to keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

Default Re: Do you sit or stand when you fly sim?

I sit while flying the sim, and stand when flying the real deal. I have tried to sit down while flying an r/c plane, but it just feels weird. Now foamies I can fly while sitting. I think this is because you can keep the plane so close, it kind of feels like the sim. I have also tries to stand up while flying the sim and it also felt weird. When standing at the sim, I am much higher than the monitor. I guess it's just whatever we are used to.

I know when I switched from flying thumbs, to thumb and index finger it was very okward to fly. It took some time to get used to it. Now it is okward to fly with my thumbs.

I don't think any thread is stupid. We all have the option to read, or not to read a thread. It's a wonderful thing.

Max is stupid! Sorry couldn't resist! Dudes, I have to agree that keeping the negativity outta here is by far the best way to go. I guess good ideas have been poo-poo'ed by nay sayers for years. If everyone with a new idea listened to those who thought it was stupid, we'd still be whoopin' mastadons for tribal meals. If you disagree with a thread certainly state your reason. You don't need to cast judgement nor question a guys IQ to do so.
