Does anyone else have the impression that this hobby is an adult version of playing with little cars when we were kids? Fortunately the sounds in this simulation are pretty good, because if my wife heard me making engine noises with my mouth while flying the plane, she would probably have me locked up... Henri

My little cars never had a clutch, a gear lever, gas and brake pedals, working turn indicators, window wipers, a working engine and working radio and all the other stuff. So, no... Now excuse me, I have to get back to WOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!

I consider it just an affordable hobby and a fun challenge. If I was a super wealthy oil baron, I would own a real 737NG, but since I'm poor as a church mouse, PMDG has provided me with one.

Everything we blokes do is the equivalent of playing with little cars when we were kids. At least that's what SWMBO says. (She Who Must Be Obeyed).

Yeah, I feel the same way. But just with a sad difference now: In the past we had many friends with the same hobby. Now we way have one or two with that hobby with who we can play this. By the way, what about you, do you all have many friends living near you which you can fly togeather?

Nope, it's all solitary pleasures for me... Henri

That's what AVSIM is supposed to gap so that we can find new friends to play in the sandbox.

yes, but i'm a full grown woman, not a girl any more, and cars were never my forte'. :: maybe for us girls the planes replace dolls and kids and husbands. for one thing, the planes almost always do what you want them to do and never talk back :: (j/k). Or maybe its a replacement for dolls.. We get to paint them and make them look purdy ;)..

I know you were asking someone else, but truth told, with me in this chair, all my friends save two, are here online, and neither of those two friends flies in fsx..
