The Flight Sim 2024 launch did not go well. 2 million user long queues just to get to the loading screen, and from what I’ve heard it’s flakey once in. The old folks who do nothing but fly their replica Airbus cockpits back and forth all day are taking it predictably well, and acting like it’s an actual airline that’s been grounded rather than their living room.

I decided to learn how to fly the A320. Very much a case of the I Have No Idea What I’m Doing dog, but flying a jetliner.

Got home from a Halloween party where I’d drunk half a bottle of wine and immediately sat down for a 400 mile flight through the Himalayas in Flight Sim. Take off was a bit hairy, the landing was one of the best I’ve done despite having to weave through some foothills to get to the runway. Turns out being slightly drunk is the secret to a smooth landing.
The CAA may disagree with this statement.

Not sure what I’ve interrupted here but I’m pretty sure it won’t be good for us.
I have completed my slow and meandering simulated flight from Lands End to John O’Groats. Six legs or so, gradually upgrading to faster planes as I went. Now I need to work out where I’m going next.
@TheBreadmonkey @jackeric I last watched it in 1999 (I know this because our secondary biology teacher got talked into showing it as the end of term film, she pressed play and then left, saying “I’m not watching it”). It still haunts me now.
I’d like to have words with whoever thought YAML was a reasonable programming language. This thought brought to you by a generated password containing a colon causing my Salt run to explode due to a YAML parse error.
