Curious to see how many online FSX users

[Jeff Nielsen 1,385]

Just curious to see how many are actually able to fly long haul in an online environment using add-on aircraft, scenery, and other external enhancements like weather engines, etc.

 

**Edit**  Feel free to leave your comments and which add-ons you use in the replies.

You mean like Vatsim/IVAO or fsx multiplayer?

Primarily VATSIM or IVAO

I fly long haul on vatsim often, with all the stuff you mentioned, REX, Weather, scenery, everything....

No longhauls, no online flying at all :unsure:

As of 3 minutes ago from the 2013 Demographics Survey. Poll of 1,361 respondants to this question; "Are you a member of an online flight organization such as IVAO and VATSIM?"

Thanks for the graphic Tom.  I was trying to drill down a bit and see if people were actually successful in their flights or if they were just crashing along the way. 

 

I would have thought more people were actually members and just not actively participating.

 

Very interesting to see more people are not members.

I don't get crashes from doing long haul flights

No problems, 3-9 hours on Vatsim with the MD-11 and NGX, with FS Global Real Weather, SB4, company ACARS, Aivlasoft EFB etc.

 

The key is networking, all addons including SB4 are running on a laptop networked to my FSX rig with Simconnect/WideFS. Not a single issue during my last 500 hours of online flight.

Thanks for that insight...networking and not just extended desktop on the second pc?

True networking yes, cables via a router, static IP on both computers. It is a new world to discover, I went totally bonkers with running weather and SB4 on my FSX rig. Never knew what would happen next... CTD's, stutters, unresponsiveness.

I used to try to fly online (participated in 3 cross the pond events) but I would always end up with fatal errors or OOM even when I thought I had fixed them

30 - 35% membership with the various organizations has been pretty consistent across the years and demographic polls.
