Hello!

I'm 31 years old. Live in the Atlanta area. I've been playing Flight Simulator since FS2002. My father is an aerospace engineer and worked on the F-22 program, the C-17 program, and multiple Boeing programs, among many others. He has taught me so much over the years. Now that I'm older and actually "know what I'm doing" my current hobby is airline simulation. I've recently (last year or 2) been studying the FBW A32NX mod. A couple months ago I discovered the Fenix A320 and it blew my mind and I've now become an armchair expert in basic Airbus operations. My fascination and love for detail has taken me through every switch and button in the cockpits and I love flying IFR using SimBrief and fully embracing the FMGC/MCDU. I'm a very analytical and logical thinker and going through the flows and steps of full checklists and FMGC programming has me hooked. I've binged watched 320 Sim Pilot, Easyjetsimpilot, 737NG/A330 Driver, among others. I also recently invested in the Thrustmaster T16000 + TWCS and even a Tobii Eye Tracker 5. I'm very pleased with the setup so far!

Glad to be here!
