I would love to be a helicopter pilot, but I almost always crash my Jetranger in MS Flight simulator, when landing. I would hate to do that in real life.

he he he Jim I used to do that too! Don't feel bad. Actually a real flight sim is harder than the MS Sim, but not much harder....The Frasca Flight Sim's that we had at the academy ran on MS Flight Sim Software... only with actual Instruments, and all of the controls, and a wrap around screen. I loved playing in the Sim's I have logged about 2200 hrs in the Sim's with training students...and practicing Instrument approaches...

I'm probably the only one, but I am getting damned tired of that Nitto Tire sticky. I am quickly becoming sworn off ever buying their $#%&@ tires!

No, Bill, you are definitely NOT the only one!!

But somebody's gotta' pay the bills. I'd bet that our subscriptions don't buy anywhere near the amount of bandwidth we actually use.

Like you, I'd probably never buy a Nitto anyway.

Wrap around screens ,and real controls! I would love to fly in that sim!.
