So - warning: stay away from any game made by Asobo/Microsoft. If you want a flight simulator, get XPlane or any other simulator, even AFS2 is decent, but with VR built in from the start.

Remote? Not hardly. Not an option. RTO is in full swing.

On site in

• Memphis, TN
• Maryville, TN
• Birmingham, AL
• Lafayette, LA
• New Orleans, LA
• Charlotte, NC
• Raleigh, NC
• Dallas, TX

What I'm saying is, if you need time for family stuff or whatever, you can take it; you just can't work remote or even (apparently) hybrid.

Text on my phone should never be blurry.
