December 5, 20223 yr My hours varies depending on the current plan I have. The plans I have finished are around the world, all forty-eight lower states, all across Canada, Vancouver to Halifax, Key West to northern Maine following the coastline and now visiting all the capital cities of the US. I've completed 33 so far. So some legs are an hour and some are two or three hours. I usually fly one leg each day. All at the lowest safe altitude in the Diamond DA62, and for the most part with the external view and clear sky so I can enjoy the scenery. All VFR with manual landings. I use Little NavMap for my flight plannings. I have really learned a lot about this world. Roy i7-10700 CPU @2.90 GHz, 32 GB Ram, nVadia GTX1660ti, Samsung 1 TB SSD Drive

Not a very resource intensive aircraft, I've been using it for flights into small airports I don't get to see very often, particularly the scenic ones. You'd be surprised how enjoyable it is to putz around South Dakota in this sim.
December 5, 20223 yr Due to work I average approximately an hour a week. If I were a kid again I'd average an hour every hour. 😂 Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
December 6, 20223 yr I fly different, sometimes the whole day, sometimes some hours but not every day.. If i do that often i need some break from the Sim ( 1 ore 2 days sometimes) and than go on again.. And i never always fly the same plane, ( that would be a Killer for me ) so i do need a change, because flying the same plane over and over again makes things boring for me.. I always need the change to another plane lets say after max. 3 flights with the same. That keeps me up to date with the different usage and keeps the tension.. cheers 😉 08.2024 new PC is online : ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard, AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D Prozessor, G.Skill DIMM 64 GB DDR5-6000 (2x 32 GB) Dual-Kit, MSI GeForce RTX 4090 VENTUS 3X E 24G OC Grafikkarte, 2x WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 4 TB - Drive C+D, WD Gold Enterprise Class 12 TB for storage HDD, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 1000W PC - Power supply, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Aircooler with 7 Heatpipes, Design Meshify 2 White TG Clear Tint Tower-Case, 3x 4K monitors 2x32 Samsung 1x27 LG 3840x2160, Windows11 Prof. 23H2 - now Windows11 Prof. 25H2 Flightsimulator Hardware: Honeycomb Throttle Bravo, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, Logitech Flight Joke System, XBox Controller, some Thrustmaster stuff, Winwing CDU Panels.
December 6, 20223 yr I usually try to get a quick 30 minute flight in at the end of each working day (Monday to Friday), and maybe a couple of hours each day over the weekend.

December 6, 20223 yr I have 850+ hours on MSFS Steam so far.. and I joined MSFS in Aug 2021 (so roughly 1.5 yrs).. 75% of that 850 hrs is actual flying, another 25% is tweaking, troubleshooting, testing new addons etc.. outside of this, a lot of time is spent on forums, youtube tutorials, discord, etc.. MSFS is getting so much better by the day, that at times, I wish I were single... I sim on Friday night, sat and sun mornings.. usually 3 IFR airline flights per week.. I do dabble with VFR/GA at times, but identify myself as an airline simmer, even though I absolutely enjoy the occasional IFR trips in TBM and C414..

I've been landing at all the grass and dirt strips in North Carolina using the Cub or the Cessna 172. Still a lot to go. Lots of enjoyment.

December 6, 20223 yr About 2-3h twice a week. Mostly one afternoon /evening flight at Wednesday or Thursday and a daytime flight at Sundays.
