Visuals that sync with the motion at a higher FPS will prevent the motion sickness most feel while taxiing. This is why high end VR headsets have a requirement for 90 fps. Do not know if this is the reason for the upgrade, but the fact they care about having updated sims is a sign of a company that gives a damn.

the visuals in our 400 sim were/are top notch

the company upgrading the visuals on that sim made k4 an offer they couldn't refuse to do both at the same time
not big deal but in the end we will have 2 really good sims

Have a buddy interviewing at K4 on 09/5. I believe it’s for the 767. Has there been any improvements at all to the quality of life over there? I’m aware that the schedule is extremely exhausting, but as more people are trained are things getting easier? I told him to definitely come over for the 74 but can’t really recommend the 76 unless things are changing.

There’s still no ETOPs cert, so it’s still domestic night flying. There are some interesting rumors about Europe in the future, but I’ll beleive it when I see it.
