January 30, 200521 yr Hey Gang,Curious really - I spend way tooooo much time tinkering, 'Avsimming', adding, and general research about flying, than actually flying in FS9. I also fogot to turn 'on' my log book until recently :-lol doh !!Am I truly sad ? I have a full time job working around 60hrs a week, no kids (yet), and just love this hobby...but am running the gauntlet with the 'war department' (wife) :-lol I've also booked to do a PPL at the end of the year in Orlando. She's not impressed - but I bribed her with an extension to the house to keep her quiet hehe. How many upgrades is that gonna cost me ????? Oh well....Nevertheless - I've still got a total of nearly 700hrs in there.What's your total ??Happy flyin.....Eddy (North Wales- UK)
January 30, 200521 yr Don't use the log book, but I have over 3,000 hours with my VA, but some of those were with FS2002.JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
January 30, 200521 yr Hey Jim,Just love ActiveSky btw. I had a look back at my FS2002. That was 2789hrs !!! RgsEd
January 30, 200521 yr Got a new PC and FS2004 on May 30, after a 3 year hiatus from simming. 473 hours, 70 hrs nights and 43.5 instrument. I could never afford that in real life. Glad my Ex-wife isn't here to nag!!! :)Bob
January 31, 200521 yr 18.4,only DC8 sofar.i just reinstalled fs2004 this friday.the former (since release installed)installation had 1456.7,mainly DC8,DC9 and 727,with a topping of Dash 7.FS2002 had a total of 2034.7 hours,and fs2k had something like that.but anything before,and including fs2k has been burned on a dvd,andi'm to lazy to go see where it's at.tataJP.
January 31, 200521 yr since getting FS2000, over 5000 hours logged or over 1000 hours per year on average.
January 31, 200521 yr 350 for FS9, almost all in real time. It still looks like the minor leagues compared to some, though.BlairCYOW
January 31, 200521 yr >350 for FS9, almost all in real time. It still looks like the>minor leagues compared to some, though.>Blair>CYOWYou know, that's another issue. All my hours are in Real Time. I think in order to make a claim about hours, it should be stated that all time was 1X time.
January 31, 200521 yr Hi All, A couple of thoughts struck me reading this thread..... Firstly, .....that's a huge amount of money if it were paid for on the flight line!..... then, 1X v Real time..... is there anything other than Real time? Even on the simulator - what could persuade anyone to cheat time?...... then, imagine how much that equates to when you ADD time spent reading/writing to the forums, searching the libraries etc. etc......... then, it's almost enough to make you pack up simming and do something productive with all those hours!! Happy Simming everyone..... is it such a waste????Regards Blue.......
January 31, 200521 yr noone ever said hobbies were cheap ;)And as to productive: it allows me to let off steam as well as do something I like.It's a great stress reducer, which is good for the heart ;)
January 31, 200521 yr Have to agree - Hobby time is never wasted time. For the record - I never speed up the sim.Cheap - nope this hobby is far from cheap !!I used to think my surfing (real surfing - in water that is) was expensive:-lol RgsEddy
