I got fixated on "the planes didn't have missiles" and forgot jets had cannons, the interview mentioning they didn't have "combat load" numbers feels telling

okay yeah they shot down 93 lmao

MS announced they were removing the twin towers from FS within days of 9/11. https://edition.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/09/14/microsoft.flight.sim/

If 9/11 was a big conspiracy theory that everyone in DC was in on, why would they want to shoot down flight 93 then cover it up?

In FS2000 you could. There were no dramatic explosions or anything, the game would just hang on the frame where your aircraft made contact with the buildings.

it was like a perfect 720 degree corkscrew from altitude down to like street level avoiding buildings by super narrow margins and then straight into the pentagon only feet above the ground

if you're going to fake the entire flight, why add in the extra hard loop?

They needed to pretend it was about more than collapsing the WTC so they needed planes trying to hit targets in DC. It didn’t matter if they succeeded.

Maybe the hit on the Pentagon wasn’t supposed to possible but it was a freak success and they shot down the 4th plane in a panic.

they would have been basically headed the right direction if they kept going instead of hitting the pentagon, it's across the river still

no no our heroic citizens ensured the plane bound for the White house landed in a pennsylvania field instead of pennsylvania ave that fateful day

to lose altitude. they specifically hit a side of the pentagon hardened against crashes and fuel combustion due to it hosting a helipad nearby.
they had to get down to a height where they were skimming phone poles.

like the whole event makes no sense just crash the plane, dumbass, dont run up the tony hawk combo just to hit a reinforced wall.
