I got two cats on May-2020, when I already had a sim pit. Cable management is gold, but you cannot trust only on this solution. Cats are VERY smart animals and can learn very quickly. Avoid yelling because it will activate some reflex responses of stress on the cat and it degrades the learning capacities. Just remove the "furry chewing machine" as many times as needed, patiently. Try to promptly reinforce alternative behaviors that obstruct these inappropriate, like throwing a paper ball or playing for some seconds with a cat's toy. It will spoil some of the gaming in the beginning, but you must act consistently and give some attention. The goal is to teach that the PC and peripherals are your toys only, not his/her. Today my cats only chew the cables when there isn't any other form of distraction: they also learned that I stop anything I am doing to give them attention (even if is just to hold them on my arms for some time... They enjoy this). This happens often when they are deprived of some care or playing time with me. So, for good reason, I prevent destruction of my house by playing frequently with them. Other than that, they have a good time around by themselves and even take a nap on top of my PC case. This is pure operant conditioning. This works. Every. Single. Time. Everything is smooth and peaceful right now. Had several dogfights with a cat sleeping on my nap.

Great tournament. Lot's of fun to participate and to watch on the live stream. And above all, a worthy and noble cause. I hope to be around for a next FOH edition. See ya!

I would like to thank a lot Mover, Moltar and everyone else involved in the organization of this tournament. It was not as intimidating as I was afraid of. Great guys flying, a supportive environment. I was laughing hard with the chat on Discord yesterday! This kind of relieve is why I play flight simulators for so many years. A big thank you!

On the (off)topic, I was here just reading because of my lack of knowledge about real fighter aircraft procedures does not help at all to the debate. But... there is an interesting underlining theme here on wich I felt motivated to post something. I learned from a colleague, when attending at masters' degree, how to act with a brutal intellectual honesty when arguing: he deepened his topic of study in his thesis and, from that moment on, he started to try to invalidate and search for flaws in his own argument. He called me and other colleagues in a very humble way to try to find logical or conceptual mistakes. His central thesis was very good and was published with improvements based on his and our criticism. Personally, it was a great lesson on how to take the scientific process and the construction of knowledge seriously. In other words, if you get passionate on your arguments and try to defend it at any cost (like everyone else normally does), you wouldn't be able to see other aspects and learn even more. I would like to give some references for the matter of logics and fallacies (this sneaky bastards are everywhere): - The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning (This is basically a response to the classic book of Schoppenhauer on how to win an debate without having reason, wich is a worty reading too) - The Art of Reasoning: An Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking - Mastering Logical Fallacies: The Definitive Guide to Flawless Rhetoric and Bulletproof Logic - There are great courses for free on youtube and podcasts in several languages, too. I suggest those made by philosophers and respected academics (argumentum ad verecundiam on my suggestion, ok, but these guys have greater probability to be teaching the right stuff). And before I close my (off)topic comment, I can share a tiramisu or a very nice carrot cake recipe if anyone woud like to try. Carrots' quality control not included. [Now... back on topic]
