Do you spend more time flying or working on FSX?

[stans 717]

Initially, I spent hour after hour tweaking and adjusting, but once I achieved acceptable results, I stopped tweaking FSX and started flying.  Now that I've gotten into Airport Design Editor X, I spend way too much time adjusting the airports that I visit or intend to visit.  Now I'm thinking I need to learn Gmax or some other modeling program so I can design custom buildings... oh, that will mean even less time flying. :vava:

Fly most times get scenery bug and spiffy up local airports add objects and trees. Only tweak regular and fullsize screen for instant scenery.

havnt  tweak anything at all since I don't  fly  the fp counter at all,  just the  aircraft

Definitely working..  Whether adding to UT2, fixing AI props, calibrating controllers, etc.

You forgot an option: do you spend more time flying, tweaking or talking about FSX? I clearly spend more time on the various forums talking about FSX than I spend flying. I don't tweak that much anymore, if at all.

definitely flying.. you don't need alot of tweaks just to run fsx smoothly. for me what i do is a just go to venetubo site then ill just let them edit it. then after that voila! my fsx is ready to depart

I spend more time tweaking and talking, but that's only because I'm a student and have a lot of homework and studying to do, so most of my time for FS comes in chunks that are too small for any real flying... When I have time, I fly.

I don't tweak, have none of the tweaks added/installed, but have my sliders set to what works, mostly full on, with autogen at normal and I fly. i spend more time developing though, I start a flight and at some point into it I see things i want to change, write them down and after the flight start researching.. Majority of my flights start off with checking scenery and the next thing I know I am miles away, LOL.

I love it when these questions popup! I am the point now where I have my system tuned pretty darned good for FSX, so I am finally flying more. But I have to tell you, for me tweaking my system is part of the fun, and I don't like fun to end.

You should stop tweaking--try watching Breaking Bad it may help you live out this part of your life vicariously  :blink:

Once I had my FSX set up in a way that seems quite well-performing and stable, I can spend most of my time flying, but the problem is, I hardly have time to fly.

Flying.

I have actually considered Breaking Bad, but I usually end up just breaking wind. :unsure:

FSX is like owning a classic car. You spend your weeknights tinkering, tweaking and adjusting things until the wee hours only to take it out for a spin for an hour on the weekends.

LOL!  Yep, pretty much true and I have been there and done that!
