Hi all,

 

I am happy to launch this poll.

 

The goal is to paint collectively an image of who we are and of what are our practices with the 777.

 

I use the poll feature capability to its maximum that is 24 questions. You might think it's a lot. On the other side the questions are easy and it takes only 5 minutes  to complete the poll.

 

The more votes, the better image we get.

 

So please vote everyone!

 

Notes:

- Some questions allow multiple choice answers.

- Many thanks to those who participated in the mockup of this poll. Most suggestions have been taken into account.

- I am aware that this is not a representative survey, etc.

- I have considered to run this poll through a third-party online service but in the end I concluded that the analysis to be made on this poll is rather simple and it is best that the data be here on Avsim

That's a very cool pool.
I'm impressed with the number of people that doesn't have a third party mesh!
Also, number of autolands is bigger than what I expected.
I'm also surprised that so few folks from South America fly the 777.

But definitely the most funny statistic is...


"Are you a male or a female?"

Male (206 votes [99.52%])
Female (1 votes [0.48%])

 

One. My God. :lol:

I would fly to South America more with LAN Cargo routes if only there was a frame rate friendly high quality EHAM available.

 

On some questions I answered 2 in the same section if that is okay. I use PFPX to plan but FSBuild to get a formatted route for ASN.

 

I also have Orbx FTX regions as well as FTX Global.

 

I also don't use any atc, I am addicted to streaming liveatc since it is as close to real world as it gets. I wish it was available in more areas though.

 

This is an interesting poll.

Haha, know what? I don't! 

My flights are all in Europe and Asia. 

But I think I'm gonna do something like SBGR - EGLL when PMDG releases the 77W and Aerosoft releases their new EGLL.

 

I would fly to South America more with LAN Cargo routes if only there was a frame rate friendly high quality EHAM available.

 

I wanted this too... just to do the KLM792 from São Paulo to Amsterdam with the 77W. 

But this is a lost cause, if you ask me.  :P

Thank you guys.

Please remember that this poll is not representative of anything. That being said, it gives a good idea of who voters are, what addons they have and what they are doing.

It's OK, some questions allow multiple answers for cases such as yours.
