My current flight sim is X-Plane although the new MS Flight Sim is gorgeous. I have a private pilots license so vertigo is not something I have although flight sims can and do put you in situations that I think twice about
 
Muddy Bike ride on an unusually quiet Cannock Chase, did jumps, technical trails and fast down hills, however crossing a road on the way home my foot slipped off the pedal and now I have 4 bloody gouges on my shin, flipping hurts! But more annoying I've spoilt my sun tan.

Never mind worse things happen at sea.

@dunelm Thats a very pleasing sketch, well balanced not overworked imo, pleasing to my eye. Good luck with your good ladies car change

Thanks A.A. I had read one pilot who thought it the bees knees.
I get vertigo birding when sea watching and using a telescope on c.30x.
Been known to have to use stemetil.

If I stand on a cliff edge or bridge I can get giddy looking down but the plane didn’t bother me if I was the ‘pilot in charge’. I do know pilots who have vertigo and only fly freight at night.
 
Slim Lizzy I’m very loath to go out still, my letter from the GP I haven’t met or spoken to (we moved in May) told me that although I could go out and shop he would rather I stayed in my household bubble at home. As the town is heaving with holiday visitors and day trippers I don’t want to go out. We have a Waitrose delivery every 3-4 weeks, my beloved pops to the Co-op if we desperately need anything and he is working from home with no intentions of ever going back to the office. I haven’t had a carer since we moved and the only person over our doorstep since the removal men have been the new owner of the flat above came to tell us that he didn’t think it was his shower making water come through the ceiling down our 1720’s oak beam but strangely since he revealed the shower we haven’t had water pouring on our heads and the other person was the builder from above the first floor one to look at the water coming through and confidently saying it wasn’t from the top flat.
I have been out three times to our favourite restaurant who books us in when no one else is coming and to the vets to get dog food. A couple of times we’ve walked to the promenade (50 foot away) to watch the tide or a sunset but after everyone else has gone. I’ve no inclination to go anywhere where I could be with lots of other people anytime soon!

We flew from Wannaker to Milford Sound in a small, very old banger of a light aircraft, over the Southern Alps, that was some 25 plus years ago.
Up a hanging valley over the Mount Aspiring glacier, very close to the ice we were bounced around, that was really something.
These wild colonial boys are quite daring.

Thank you for your kind comments. Ouch! - Ouch! - Ouch! - Ouch! - one for each gouge - hope they are not too deep.
 
Not apart from hoping to get a lift!
Basically you need piece of cheese and small loaf of bread. Break a piece of cheese and work it into the bread with your thumb. Tear some off when you have enough bread to cover the cheese. Thumbits were docky. Best demo of that I ever saw were some plasterers when I worked on converting flats in the mill that had been Sincclair's starting point in between O and A levels.
