January 19, 20215 yr I hit 500 'official' hours in the sim. It's been a wild ride for sure. Lots of crazy landings, some crashes, some amazing views and lots of new airports visited. Oh and a couple 24,000 mile high spikes (hehehe). I've flown mostly in the 172, Cirrus and TBM (the TBM is my current OnAir workhorse). The Garmin mods have been a life saver for sure. Well that's it. Off to work on some cockpit setups for my Carenado stable. Happy and safe flying to everybody.
January 19, 20215 yr I'm just about to reach 50. Well, excluding perhaps 20 which were not counted during the counter blackout weeks. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll not live long enough to reach 500. Congratulations.

My greatest number of logged hours since I believe 1998. Your 500 hours? Since August release? Or were you Alpha and Beta member?

January 19, 20215 yr Wow, that's a lot of whizzing around. About four times what I've got, with my MSFS profile being at 122 hours, although I admit that I did take MSFS pretty slowly at first, so I'm not really surprised it's only just out of the century thus far.

January 19, 20215 yr Impressive, considering the type of aircraft you have flown that must sum up to quite a few legs and takeoffs/landings. If you hadn't added that information I wouldn't have bothered. I never understood why even in real life flight hours tend to be treated equivalent to experience, because when you break down those "15.000 hrs and 20 years of experience" you can find with long haulers it comes down to 7.500 (block-) hrs as pilot flying. With each flight in the 10 hours range that makes up for more or less 750 landings total or 38 landings each year. And they could have accumulated those hours on flights between the same airports most of the time and thus gained more habitualness than experience. Heck, as a student pilot you would accumulate more landings within your first five hours of training. Enough for this excursion, enjoy your next 500.

Your 500 hours? Since August release? Or were you Alpha and Beta member? That's all since release. With the current world situation, I've had plenty of time to get back into flying, so I've been taking full advantage of it.

Started out with a lot of short (50-75 mile) flights in the 172. Most of my flights now are in the TBM so tend to be 250-400 miles
January 19, 20215 yr 75 hours for me, but I don't think the sim logged all of my early flights. Mostly with the 152 in the UK (so looking forward to the update). A few little forays with the 172, Caravan, A320 and 747. Looking for some of that pretty water and coral reefs if anyone can point me in the right direction.

January 19, 20215 yr 460 for me so far, Mostly the A320x, King Air, and TBM... But the Waco is getting steady use as well. AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d, MSI X570 Pro, 32 gb DDR4 3600 ram, Gigabyte 6800 16gb GPU, 1x 2tb Samsung NvMe , 1x 2tb Sabrent NvME, 1x Crucial 4tb Nvme M2 Drive
January 19, 20215 yr I just hit 500 hours yesterday, January 18. My hours are 98% King Air and Cessna 172 (G1000). It helps being retired and 75 with time on my hands. 😃😃 _________________________________________________________________________ Bob "roadwarrior" Werab Config: ASUS Prime Motherboard, RYZEN 5, 32 GB Ram, Radeon RX5700 XT, 2 TB SSD
January 19, 20215 yr Nice! I think I’m around 80 flight hours since release, and I feel like I fly it a lot!
