Putting all the drama of this thread aside…LOL, I’m glad the UK is up next for an update. I enjoy a nice leisurely flight across the English countryside, soaking in the views. Very relaxing indeed.

You do realise which language you are speaking now, right?
That language is spoken and understood in most parts of the world, so your life is much easier because you already speak a global language, albeit a simplified version of British English.
Obvious troll aside, I am looking forward to the UK world update, it’ll be great to fly over my home country and see great details, with less giant countryside office blocks.

About time! Was already waiting for properly modelled pubs. Y’know, for my next pub crawl before take-off

Ha ha ha, English speaking people - both UK and USA - argueing about phonetically correct spelling 
You have already lost it with “sword” and “wounded” etc. in the Dark Age
German and other languages may be hard to learn from a gramatical point of view. But at least you pronounce the words exactly as you write them

Yes, unfortunately I can only agree.
I’m a Brit who studied English, German, French, Latin and Ancient Greek (not massively useful in my future career as it transpired) and came very quickly to the conclusion that the English language is far from intuitive. I do prefer American spellings and think that we English make some things a lot more complex than they should be. Obviously i’m a firm Brit at heart but it doesn’t stop me from having a hearty respect for some of the USA’s way of doing some things.
Edit: actually I found German the easiest to learn with the exception obviously of my home language.
You’ll no doubt be happy then with the in sim flight model and turbulence effects ?

Don’t forget bottle to throttle, it’s a few minutes in MSFS (while it loads), then social distance, stay safe

I hope that the UK world update will also show that the Brits still drive on the wrong side. 
Tin hat on. I’m gone (Edit: even though it’s an obvious joke).

Here are some fun facts about driving on which side of the road:
https://citymonitor.ai/transport/future-left-so-why-do-most-countries-drive-right-1822
- In most places, for most of history, driving on the left seems to have been standard (you can see this in the layout of cart tracks on Roman roads and so forth).
- There’s a reason for this. Most people are right-handed, so by driving on the left, that’d place their stronger hand in the best position to greet those coming the other way, or whack them with a sword, as seemed most appropriate.
- So why do most countries drive on the right? The standard explanation for this is that it’s all Napoleon’s fault. He was left-handed, it’s said, and so was more comfortable on the right hand side of the road.
True or not, it’s a funny story

But in the USA Teamsters (who drove animals) used to sit on the left hand horse while driving a wagon and therefore keep their right hand free for whipping the other horses. In order to avoid collisions they decided to start driving on the right so that they could see the passing wheels of other wagons.
Don’t blame Napoleon.
You can borrow mine. Gets plenty of use though so i’ll need it back pretty soon.
Admire your bravery and hopefully we’ll see you back on the forum some time in the new year when the uproar and outrage has died down a bit.

You’ll need much more than a tin hat if you continue to make that kind of comment
Remember that you drive on the right side and the wrong side. We drive on the left side and the right side

Quite right, or should I say quite left.

But didn’t we beat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo ? Maybe it was a concession similar to fishing rights.

Thanks but I got my own 
because I wanted to come back and say that I actually hoped that someone would say that it might not be too much to ask that the sim showed road traffic correctly in every country. Should not be too difficult to code.
Goodwood needs sorting out.

Yes, that’s the spirit!
Let me tell you i’m steadfastly with you all the way. At least until the fighting starts. Now where the heck is that exit …

Well, I think Orbx did it in X-plane with the England scenery if my memory is serving me correctly (probably isn’t).
So, yes, in all seriousness it should be possible.
