Realism in X-plane

This is meant to be something amusing.

 

We all know Austin strives for the highest level of realism. I'd say he's achieved it almost. I went to go do a night flight the other night. When I started up X-plane, my cockpit was pitch black. So dark, I couldn't even find the battery switch to turn on the cockpit lights. I needed to turn on the night-vision goggles to get myself started.

 

Now, in the real-world, I don't have enough money to buy night-vision goggles. If he really wanted to make it realistic, he'd give me a virtual mag-lite to go poking around the cockpit.

Get to know your plane I'm sure "real" pilots doesn't jump into a plane they never flown before and just takeoff during night.

LOL. I know the inside of a C172 very well. It took me about 10 mouse clicks to finally hit that battery switch!
