Crashing and smashing

[airkevin]

Hi. First of all, I'd like to say Merry Christmas.

Okay, my question: I had a Christmas party yesterday, and I taught a friend how to fly the 747 (take-off and landing). He and another friend used:
A Northwest 747-400 (Meljet)
A Delta MD-81 (I think it was Eric's model)
A bus (from a FS2000 add-on)
A car
Another car
A helicopter (Hughes MD-500)
A Learjet (default)

to see which one could crash better (I assume). So all of them were crashed.

Now my question is (this was in FS), should I regret that I taught him to fly?

I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but it was in FS2002, so I assumed that I go here.

I had taught 2 little kids who were bored and just got interested. They seemed to know what they were doing, and so did Eefine (the one I taught). To tell you the truth, I was surprised that the 2 girls wanted to learn.

Here's some food for thought: who cares?

Most of my friends think the realistic simulation of commercial flight is quite stupid, and usually suggest something along the lines of "can you shoot something" (to which I respond, No this is a civilian flightsim) or "crash!". Who cares? It's a game, that's all. I bet 70% of people would have done the same thing as those kids - see if it crashes (Im betting they were rather disappointed...)
So should you feel sorry? No.

But that doesn't answer my question. My question was if I should regret it. I'm sure that two people (Eefine and another kid who did NOT know how to fly) would want to try to destruct my entire airport. And I'm sure the passengers wouldn't like it.

Okay......?????

[flyerBoy]

this is pointless
why do you want to regret you taught someone to fly?

[airkevin]

Because they used my planes as a crash dummy.

Okay, so are you implying the fact that smashing helicopters and planes into my airport isn't hurting it?
