Hey all!

Hi all!

 

I already introduced myself in the New Member forums, but I thought I would come here and say hi as well.

 

My name is Connor from the United States. I've owned MSFS for many years but just recently really started getting into flight simming as a legitimate hobby.

 

I am not a real-world pilot and most likely never will be. I am a high school band director and private music instructor as my main trade.

 

I've always been fascinated by both trains and airplanes. When I was a kid I built model railroads with my grandpa. Eventually I want to have the space to build my own layout, but until then flight simming is a venture that will actually fit in my apartment, haha.

 

My main focus is simming realistic passenger airline operations. I recently bought the PMDG 737NGX package along with ProATC-X, GSX, and FS2Crew. I am currently in the process of getting set up to fly with Southwest Virtual Airlines, primarily flying out of my hometown of Denver.

 

I've been happily married for a year and a half now and my lovely wife is supportive of my hobby (there's a lot worse things you could be doing, she tells me).

 

Looking forward to being a part of the community!

This is so true Elaine :-)

 

I've just recently gotten back into flight simming after a long hiatus and I have to hide the bills from myself as I would hate to think how much I have spent so far. At least it is a lot cheaper than the real thing  :-)

You're lucky. My wife regards my hobby as proof that I'm a total nutcase!!😉

Lol, mine ask me when I am going to buy a real plane, I told her let's sell the house and forget about the mortgage, then we can get a nice DA-60 or DA-42, she looked at me for a couple of seconds, then she said how much was that new video card you wanted? 😂😂😂😂
