I'm just curious what everyone's personal preferences are, I'll put the list below of numbers with specifications, comment your #! IF you feel as though I should add something, post it in the comments

 

1.

5.

I sit at about a 4.5 because I'm not willing to even use a 737-800 on a flight a 737-700 does. But I'm a little more lenient when it comes to using real world time or weather because I enjoy night-time flying on airliners more often than not.

5.0

 

No question

 

Especially on WX

Why does it have to be any? None of the above and all of the above. Depends what mood. If I feel like flying a few landings, do I insist that the weather be exactly as it is in the real world at the same time? No. If I feel like flying upside down because I'm bored, I do, and I'm a 1. If I feel like I need total realistic immersion, then I'm a 5.0. The only thing is that I insist that the planes that I fly, and that I keep around, be capable of very high levels of realism. I don't care much for the casual approach when it comes to the simulation of the airplanes themselves.

Me a 3 since I'm a night time flying kinda guy my level of immersion will high when I get my full scale cockpit done

Guess I am a 2. I tend to stay away from real world routes and larger airports. I base the weather on what is happening in the real world, but may change the cloud base or visibility depending on facilities or terrain at my destination.

4-5

Definitely a 5+

5.0 for me, never touched the sim rate.

Also a 5. That's the way my VA does it.

5.0 for me for everything I fly, adds to the immersion 'to do it right'.

4.5 because I use increased sim rate for flights more then 2 hours.

Never increases the sim rate

Never uses real world routes

Never uses proper airlines on routes

Always uses real time or weather.

 

Not sure what score that would amount to but that's how I do it. I mostly fly A2A's Stratocruiser and Coolsky's DC-9 on historically completely inaccurate routes.

I would have said 5 if I owned the PMDG 737-600 or 700 but I don't (only own the 800/900 version) so it has to be 4...

4 is the nearest, I don't use real world airlines though, I have my own FScaptain virtual airline I like to fy with, allows me way more freedom to fly with any airliner I want compared to using some real world airline.

 

I usually use real world routes, however sometimes for when I fly with birds that don't have FMC modeled I might use simplified routes.

 

I never increace simrate though and use real world weather almost always.

5. Never ever inc. rate

 

I fly delta and it takes care of the real world stuff
