December 3, 201015 yr Help, i feel like quitting FS2004! I need your help to tell me what you guys do and how you make FS9 or any other flight sim fun!
December 3, 201015 yr Author Its not a job, if your not having fun take a break for a bit. Yea i did, 7 weeks cause of exams! But after a while i get bored from it :(. What do you do to make it fun?
December 3, 201015 yr I treat it like I would as if I was really flying, thus the reason I may only do two to three flights a month. I do an extensive Pre flight, route planning, weather checks and so on. More so with a simulated airline flight. I also fly in real time not accelerated. Try to fly different birds to different places. One flight may be in the A2A Cub in FSX and the next in the PMDG 747 to Hong Kong in FS9. Al Stiff
December 3, 201015 yr Get hold of Air Hauler, open up a base on the other side of the world and see where the jobs it generates takes you to.Or, get hold of an aircraft you have no clue about how to fly and learn that, for example the PMDG MD-11, the Wilco A320 or the A2A Boeing Stratocruiser.Or get into flying choppers for a change.Or have a crack at designing some scenery or an aircraft.There are stacks of things to try, just move outside your comfort zone and you'll find it is fun to do so.Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
December 3, 201015 yr I got a little tired of FS9, but then I switched over to helicopters. All the years of flight simming I never flown helicopters until 2 months ago.

December 3, 201015 yr Glad to see I'm not the only one that bought DCS A10 Beta lolAl Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
December 3, 201015 yr Hello !Boeingsta, did you already try online flying ? There a many solutions for this, but if you want to learn more about aviation and ATC, then you should try IVAO or VATSIM.Just look at the event calendar:http://www.ivao.aero/events/day.aspHappy flying ! :( Georges - OpenStreetMap - Ubuntu GNU/Linux -
