November 24, 200421 yr You forgot my category. The cockpit fiddler. Add a switch here, reconfigure this, build a new middle console. Rework the panel for the touchscreen. Replace that parking break with a better one. After that 1 and 3 get their equal shares.Alex
November 25, 200421 yr I used to be a "1", but after years of tweaking (only to see very little effect on the sim), I've finally "graduated" to being a #3. I wish I would have done this much earlier.
November 25, 200421 yr Hi. If you could add a sub-set at #3,such as #3a)The Hopeless Addict/Crasher/Whizzer-About/Navigational-Incompetent/Bush-Flyer(in the sense of flying into bushes) then I feel I might fit there quite happily:-wave
November 25, 200421 yr I'm going to go out on a limb here: 1rs are type A addictive peronalities who know what they are doing is wrong, but can't stop doing it. Good to see some rehabilitated individuals!
November 26, 200421 yr Unfortunately I get obsessed with 2 on occasion. *:-* With lots of 3 thrown in between.
November 26, 200421 yr I agree -- and it's been a while since we've seen a new poll around here!Ed Lin, D.O.S.
November 27, 200421 yr Author Hi Dan,Well, lately I've definitely been a #3. used to be a #1 and #3 but since getting several payware aircraft, I have more time to spend actually enjoying flying them instead of trying to figure out which panels actually work and which don't when installing the add-on panels for the freeware. The panels were the biggest time-consuming task as there are many choices and usually, most of them don't work properly or are missing some key gauges (like taxi lights, no vertical speed indicator in one case etc...) or in several cases, the panel maker made a photo-realistic panel including everything in one screenshot which made the panel essentially unusable as the gauges were literally impossible to read (even on my 19 inch monitor).Also, scenery search has gone down to finding the scenery for the places I'm flying to in my continous trip around the world. Right now, I am on my way to Schipol (Amsterdam, Netherlands-EHAM) and then my first full trip to the Azores islands and then Africa so I've installed a few scenery for Africa already... but I don't go around frantically looking for scenery now, just what I'm in need for, for the next phase of my trip. This strategy may be of use for others too.John I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo" CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, socket 775/3GHz/1333MHz bus/6MB cache MOBO: Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n/Intel X38 chipset RAM: 4GB Kingston HyperX 1333MHz. rated 7-7-7-20, matched pair (2 x 2GB) GRAPHICS: Sapphire Radeon 5770HD 1GB (w/ fan) MONITOR: Samsung 24", 2494HM LCD wide-screen 1920x1080 SOUND: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS HARD DRIVES: 1xWestern Digital WD1600JD SATA 160GB (primary/Windows XP and system boot drive) 1xWestern Digital WD3200AAJS SATA2 320GB (secondary/Flight Simulator 2004 running off WinXP Pro 32-bit, games video editing drive) 1xWestern Digital 500GB Black series SATA2 (Windows 7 64-bit: FSX is running off Win7; Windows XP Professional 32-bit) CASE: Antec Sonata III 500W OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit for FSX; Windows XP Pro 32-bit for other things.
