No programmer here, but did work in IT. Believe it’s important to have working knowledge of aircraft and systems so those concepts can be explained and developed. As stated, I have interest in food, not any kind of chef, but I can do basic cooking if I feel the need to eat, and no one else is fixing food. Mostly the GF does the food, and I do the yard work, and honey-dos. That seems to work.
I suspect I have enough basic knowledge of airplane operations to be mildly successful in this sim and the other one. But aint never going to be programmer, and the older I get, the harder it is to learn and want to fight the frustrations this one throws at me. That is why mandatory retirement for all CA pilots in USA is 65. Truck drivers as well. But politicians and doctors/dentists do not have mandatory retirement, and they work on people. Go figure.
