June 25, 20196 yr When I'm not developing FDEs, payware or freeware, I'm still using P3D and DCS in 75-90% of my spare time, just to enjoy flying 🙂 Edited June 25, 20196 yr by FDEdev

I didn't. I spent 90% of my sim time designing and testing. That's why the only two payware aircraft I owned were the PMDG MD-11 and Eaglesoft Twin Comanche. These days, I just fly and enjoy things.

July 2, 20196 yr Commercial Member Here is my two cents. I have loved flight sim since I was a 5-year-old, I've been playing with them. When I took my position up at my first FS software developer, it was a dream first job. I was in love with the fact that I was able to turn a hobby into a job, rather than flipping burgers. I started work as a Support Technician and worked into my position as a community manager over the course of a year. It was awesome, but around a month or two after the first release I was a part of, I wanted nothing to do with the Flight Sim for a good three months outside of work. But after that, I realized that I was just tired of loading up the same product, doing the same test flight, finding bugs, and reporting them. I found that I rather enjoyed trying out some of the new stuff or even offering my assistance with testing unreleased products much more. So outside of work, I'd boot up a plane fresh from a developer and take it for hops around vatsim and then log off for the night. I wouldn't get to do this as often as I would've liked, but I tried to do a flight every two weeks or so. Lately, I've been non-stop flying when I get a chance. I recently got some new panels from PropWash and have fallen in love with them. I love twisting dials and turning knobs, so I was getting a kick out of this. So, the short answer is yes. However, during crunch time, I'm sure I can speak for quite a few of us, we do get burned out for a few months. I am happy to report that as of now, I do two to three flights a week! 😁
