FSX - Wife Edition

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Quite funny- from AVSIM:

Some of us men have wives and girlfriends who protest to us sitting by the PC countless hours and involving ourselves in FS.

I was wondering if it were possible to make a "Wife Edition" of FSX, that would appeal to the wives and girlfriends out there, so that FSX could be enjoyed without 'hassle'?

Some suggestions for FSX "Wife Edition":

- Panels in pink colours.
- Stall warning sounds could be baby sounds.
- GPS waypoints could locate to shopping malls en-route between airports.
- The 747 could have 100 passenger seats removed and remodeled into clothing cupboards.
- Further 50 seats removed for space for her shoes.
- Install a rear view mirror in the panel for push back......with a hanging "I love you" teddy bear.
- Automatic refuelling!
- Bigger parking gates for safety issues.
- Salad-only inflight meals.
- Convert knee-pad to detachable makeup case.
- "Red red wine" soundtrack in the cockpit.
- Convert the radio stack into to a cell phone stack, with 20 "best friends" predialled for easier access.
- Get automatic ATC clearance by simply waving at the control tower.
- Change the definition of "Squawk" to "Gossip" when using radios.


Some mission suggestions:

- Fly downtown in a Cessna 172 within 5 minutes, shop 50lbs of fur coats and head back before the discount offers end.

- Fly your toddlers to daycare, in the Bell, before 8am. For a challenge, the option, "Apply makeup enroute" to be set to "ON".

- Land anywhere in the world, any time, any weather, but trying to do so without setting parking brakes on touchdown.

- Taxi from parking to the active runway, but trying to do so, WITHOUT stopping along the way, engaging in chit/chatter.


Thanks for reading

Kind regards,

Good one!
Yes they sure do complain about us and our flight sims,and do you notice when they do it? You'll get no interuptions at all while your on a long cross country flight,maybe an international red eye special and then right on final approach,you've got clearance,then blue light(middle marker) lining up nicely-looking good and then they all want something all at once! The other half or the kids and then the dog jumps up on you, stands right on your balls-you get the rest,this will always happen at exactly the wrong time every time gauranteed!
2 wrongs don't make a right but 2 Wrights made an aeroplane!
