I am 42 years old and loving this 777. I have 4 kids yet I think I am the biggest one of them all! Anyone else suffering the biggest kid in the house thanks to the 777?

+1. Big sim kid for over 20 years now!

I am 44 and I think we, the "seniors", all have been waiting a looong time for things being as good as they are today.

Actually an amazing development, but I don't wish back the times of 16 color display or static 2D panels.

I really enjoy it (exclusively during night time hours) because otherwise I won't see my family too much...

Always happy landings,

You are so correct with how long we have been waiting for a decent software like Pmdg's Professional series of sim's.

I like you have been preparing myself for a long time.. And we also have some cool

Aircrafts on the horizon. For the people who are starting to get into Flight Sim's now

well.. all I can say is they have it way better than us when we were starting out. Who

know's maybe something will come out this for the youth of flight simulations.

Wow what a shot in the past Norman I remembered the dos Ver 3.0  but this one is

to cool.

thanks for that.

I am also 42 years old and I'm more childish then it comes to FSX than my 11 months old daughter. My wife appreciate my hobby though. Says it's better I play with computer than getting drunk in a bar and looking for another woman (with a glimse in her eyes) :).

That's exactly what my wife says to me. Of course I have to do the occasional wild night out with the boys just to keep her in the loop. You don't whant her to become too relaxed, do you? :-)

 

BTW at only 35y I'm allowed to be childish.

Funny video! (I think an external frame limiter is used :lol:  )

I remember this sim look from the electronic stores and a computer fair in April 1984 in cologne.

I actually started in 1993 with Amiga A320 Approach Trainer (Thalion) and MS FS4 for Mac. 20 years...

 

BTW: "Meigs Field", sure you did notice this already:

Always happy landings (and look into NOTAMS for airfields being still in service),

Hi All

 

I'm 47 in Feb, I have 2 children under the age of 3, my adorable wife thinks my hobby is cool and time well spent when I get the chance, I soooooooooo can't wait until they begin to understand what a real super coooooool hobby this really is. FS98 is when I got started & wow what a difference now, I really do wonder what our hobby will be like in years to come. Great post guys!

I have my little girl flying in FSX.  With my help we try to land the Cessna 172. Though, now she prefers her I-pod thingy over my flight sim and over my 1000 sq. ft Lionel train layout.  The wife some plays flight attendant.  It makes landings quite hard.   I think I need a pilot uniform.  I'll be looking for a co-pilot soon to join me in Miami on a full motion 777 simulator.  I wonder of anyone will be interested.   Look for as post in Jan. if anyone is interested.

It doesn't matter what age, as long as you are having fun with this hobby.

I'm 52 and still loving it................

Oh, you kids!!! :lol:

Im 61 and sit here in the basement, flying my sim and feeling like a kid. As it is said, "Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional."

There's just something about this hobby....

Love it !!

From another 61 years young : this hobby has been part of my life for over 20 years and while I've got less time these days due to work, it's still THE hobby for me.  My wife is quite used to asking "where are you flying tonight" as though it's the most natural thing in the world to do !  You gotta love the way that the experience has become so much more realistic and immersing over the years, in no small part thanks to PMDG :Applause: .  No, my now grown-up kids will never be able to say that their dad is old for his age B) .  Christmas break coming up, I hope to get a decent start on the 777.

Cheers,
Emile Bax.
