The forum does sometimes give a dread, fear of imminent doom, malaise and generates an almost unique sense of jeopardy, but in all fairness, so do many, many others and is related to the users level of enthusiasm for the subject, so turn it all on its head and you get something positive out of it all.
My day started with a sense of foreboding after reading the newly emerging Kaspersky thread and I was worried that I was maybe up the creek without a paddle. I fiddled and faffed for a bit before committing to the update, but did so and went off to mow the lawn, which turns out to take around 22GB of time and got back into the office just as it was finishing. I couldn’t believe it…
Smoother, faster and the centre of Paris looks super. It was like a dogfight over there. I saw two airliners tentpole into the ground and have seen less traffic on the Arc de Triomphe. I am amazed that so many users had been successful and had managed to avoid each other.
Upshot? Don’t let it get to you, but don’t ever give up hope, with the sim or indeed anything else.
