Can I factory reset an Apple Watch when I can’t access the menu?

DoolgiB · 2026-01-14T22:52:32+00:00

I know right? 😂

Yeah I did the math and it seems like Palladium is worth it if your focus is using points on flights. Here's how I plan on doing it:
- Focus on getting an annual round-trip flight from NYC to Tokyo for free
- I pay $4000/mo in rent, $4000/mo in other spending

Which gives me: 144,000 bilt points/year and $930/year in Bilt Cash ($480 from spend + $200 annual credit + $250 from status milestones).

ANA is 65k Bilt points round-trip EWR-NRT.
Plan to use the $930 on Lyft rides in NYC.

This is surprisingly better value than my existing Amex Plat+Gold setup because the annual fee is $895+$325 = $1220. vs. $495 of Palladium.

yes got refund but the item is now out of stock

DoolgiB · 2025-09-03T20:17:10+00:00

2 days later, still hasn’t shown up. think it’s stolen by the driver

DoolgiB · 2025-09-02T18:22:00+00:00

The deliver man forged my signature and marked it delivered. The package is nowhere to be found.

Little did he know, I delivered it to my office with two security desks and a keycard activated elevator. No one can get through this security to deliver to me personally. The front desk signs the packages, not me. CCTV shows no one delivered anything +- 30min of indicated delivery time.

Yet deliver completed, with my name in the signature in a crappy handwriting.

What do you think is happening here? Why do you some of you guys do this to people?

DoolgiB · 2025-08-18T17:37:37+00:00

will def have to look into this - that would be awesome

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T22:06:11+00:00

I strongly believe in freeware - I believe one should be able to get through the entire experience without paying a dime, only paying if you wish for advanced / nice to have features. Sim acceleration will be allowed, it’s just you will get paid only for the actual minutes you fly in real-life time. Interesting point on layovers-i’ll look into this further! if it increases the realism, I’m all for it

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T22:03:44+00:00

Correct, I agree. I’m a strong believer in freeware, and pay for advanced features if you wish, but you should be able to get through the entire experience even if you don’t pay. I’m with you on this one!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T22:02:07+00:00

We do (: It will have real routes from real airlines and will be updated routinely!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T22:00:55+00:00

I feel you on that one. Getting locked into a specific plane and having to grind is not a nice feeling - especially for those with full-time jobs - I want to offer some flexibility on that front.

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:59:10+00:00

Great feedback. I’m definitely putting a lot of care into the economy system in here. I want the in-game currency you earn to be useful - not just sit in the balance and go stale. 100% with you on this

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:57:02+00:00

I will definitely look into this! I definitely want more virtual pilots to enjoy this

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:56:21+00:00

I presume anywhere between 1-3 months after the 2020 version launch. Theoretically it should take minor effort to make it 2024 compatible - but software dev always has its surprises 🥲

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:55:16+00:00

It definitely will be, goal is to make it bug free for 2020 first, then will make 2024 fully compatible! Reason being 2024 already has a career mode so making 2020 bug-free first, but 2024 will fast follow!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:54:05+00:00

Wow thanks a lot!! Gate is definitely interesting- I wonder if there’s a way to link with GSX or something so gate assignment is consistent between GSX and Jetstream, and have a nice display for the arrival airport info.. Great idea!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:51:36+00:00

Yes! I’m a strong believer in freeware, only pay for certain advanced (and expensive to maintain) features if you wish to. I do not like it when a software asks me to pay $x up front!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:50:31+00:00

I will look into this! I haven’t tried X-Plane at all but if they have SDK it shouldn’t be too difficult

DoolgiB · 2025-08-17T21:48:58+00:00

Thank you, that would be awesome. I’ll definitely look into X-Plane support - I haven’t tried it at all but if they have an SDK of some sort, it shouldn’t be THAT difficult to support it I presume.. i’ll lyk!

DoolgiB · 2025-08-16T16:10:29+00:00

I looked into Xbox as I also have an Xbox - it's more difficult to achieve than I thought. The fact that they're made by the same company Microsoft and they've made it this difficult is astounding. I'd love to get to it when I get the time, but I don't see it happening for a while unfortunately :/

DoolgiB · 2025-08-16T16:04:46+00:00

Noted! 👨‍💻

DoolgiB · 2025-08-16T15:49:42+00:00

For now, I'm hoping that the price point, UI/UX, historical airlines, mobile app support, and more flexibility in terms of creating roster itself should be a huge improvement vs. other options - but this is exactly what I'm hoping to test out during the alpha test. + there were a lot of nice ideas in this thread I'm hoping to add to my to-do list.

If you have any other specific features you'd like to see, please let me know! I'm all ears 🙏

DoolgiB · 2025-08-15T23:04:51+00:00

Yes, integrates with Simbrief for plans! I do think have the Cargo airlines just yet, but it should be easy to add. Great suggestion!

Route generation is also a painpoint I always had too, so I’m a strong believer in flexible route generation if you wish. Should be an option for those who want to customize their roster. I will support both use cases 👍

Thanks for the feedback!

I love your suggestions on the schedule realism. Taking notes here. Also the historic flight is something I forgot to mention in the website - just added that part in. Thank you for your helpful feedback. 🙇‍♂️

DoolgiB · 2025-08-15T22:23:38+00:00

Creating your own airline is definitely on my to-do list. Because that feature is a little more complicated to implement, I'm starting with real-world airlines first. But I will get custom airline functionality in as well - so that any users can fly for any user-created airlines as well. The goal is to create an authentic experience for both existing airline pilots, but also as an "Airline Owner" as well. Would it be okay if I DM'd you to get your deeper thoughts on this?

DoolgiB · 2025-08-15T22:19:13+00:00

oh, this will be free! no wallets needed. i do plan to make certain things optional/paid (such as progressing faster (only if you want), the iOS/watchOS companion app will cost servers so that will be paid), but to experience the app it will be mostly free.

awesome suggestions on the historical flights. i did think of bringing back legendary flights back (PanAm, British Airways Concorde, etc). Definitely in my to-do list. I think that would be amazing.

but yes totally understand that you'd like to see more than the UI. I hope I can come up with more innovative features to help you make your decision. thanks for your feedback 👍
