When I used to fly regularly and quite a bit on international flights, the "word" was to choose an airline that was serviced by Lufthansa mechanics as they were supposedly maintained consistently better than other contract service mechanics.

Two year olds can be very obstinate and tantrum driven. Remember the "terrible two's"? Everyone who as had children know this. I always hope not to fly on planes that have these toddlers onboard. They can be pretty bad trying to keep them in their seat even without masks. That said, the airlines were wrong.

KLM used to fly 747 combi's daily from Houston to Amsterdam and back. I don't know if they still do but the times I flew it the aircraft were not very clean and the service was mediocre.

My main Pc is a 2015 27 in. iMac and I've been been running XPlane 11.41. It's Ok but when Apple went to 64 bit Catalina OS, a lot of add-ons no longer worked properly and the sim didn't always work. Two months ago, I purchased a loaded Dell G5 gaming desktop (Core i9. 64GB Ram, Geforce RTX2080, etc...) mostly for the purposes of running the new MS flight sim. and and enough power to support VR. While waiting, I run Xplane and FSX Steam on the PC and the performance is outstanding! The iMac doesn't have the power and a new iMac rig is just way too expensive compared to the Dell. I've run MSFS since the old "green screen" days so it's good to be coming back.

It's my understanding MSFS 2020 supports VR. Like all software, the initial performance may be limited, but we'll see.

A little sensitive about your VW's? You should be. They're junk and their motor design is ridiculous.

Watch the news tonight or tomorrow. The truth of the origin of the Corona "Wuhan" virus is now starting to become public. It is NOT a conspiracy theory that it came from a bio-lab and the CCP tried to hide the evidence.

Show me proof that any propaganda from China is true. Only 3340 deaths (from John Hopkins) out of 83000 reported cases from a population of 1+ billion? The Chinese have and are still lying to us. Most recently they were promoting the idea the virus started in Italy. Total garbage!

It has become more than apparent that Boeing is betting on software to fix an inherently bad aircraft design. I will not fly on it when it is back in service for at least a year or more.

Correction. Evidence now indicates the virus started in a bio-lab in Wuhan, then contaminated the wet market.
