In case there are, well, any folks out there as besotted with a love of obscure, geeky airplane videos as I am...

I hadn't a fucking clue what all that was... but it was still awesome

Reboot it!

Less complex than the UI of any Paradox Interactive game.

That's genuinely funny. I was also thinking that a Korean StarCraft player might be able to complete the entire sequence, in, oh, I dunno, 12 seconds at thousands of APM? (assuming you didn't actually wait for the generators and engines to start etc etc etc)

*drool*

I don't know about the rest of you, but he does it all a little differently than I.

Wasn't it a Korean crew that crashed a 737 at San Francisco? Maybe they need less StarCraft, more Flight Simulator.

Dammit I knew I should have gone into aviation instead of programming! I wanna flick switches and turn knobs like that and then fly up in the clouds!

All those knobs make very satisfying clicks.
Yet all much over-complication..It's all can be computerized with a single "START" button.

@EvilDeathBee this is how normal humans start up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIl1U6js9KE
And this is how professionals do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV35B-vfT4U

It's almost like, y'know, you need to be smart or something to fly a jetliner . . .

It's no FUN to computerize it all with one START button.
And more seriously; it's not like software-only planes can't have problems either. The Airbus 320 crash at the Paris Airshow (low and slow, outside parameters ever anticipated by the programmers; crash); the Phenom 100 Business Jet (currently having to do inflight resets); but your point is well taken.

The highly computerized planes aren't less safe or less reliable; they just fail in different ways.

how many steps was that???
