I posted something similar before, but it did not gain too much traction, possibly due to time zones.

It would be cool to see a Lemmy online pen pal/chat pal thread. Tell us about yourself and your hobbies in comments! I’m a person in their 20s who likes world football, theoretical maths and physics, and FOSS stuff. I also like the outdoors and would love to share about outdoor adventures. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to talk!

    Wow, similar thing for me, I have a ‘bicuspid aortic valve’ which means the aortic valve in my heart is a bit funky and doesn’t push blood through as it should. And that makes the FAA also deem me medically unfit. I think there is a process to get a medical exemption, but with the cost of getting a license so high already, I just decided to stick with MSFS. I get to ‘fly’ a 737 like I wanted as a kid, learn all about it, but I’m not shelling out thousands and years of my life (okay, maybe I am shelling out some money but I like pretty airports!)

      That’s a bummer! For me it’s Narcolepsy, and because the only medication that works for me also disqualifies me, exemption isn’t an option for me.

      MSFS really is awesome! The level of detail with the planes blew my mind. Come to think of it, I haven’t tried playing it again since I upgraded my PC. I should give it a shot!

      What kind of setup do you have for MSFS?
