I only fly three aircraft in 2024..  BSQ A36, TBM850, and SWS RV14A.  I would rather get good at flying one aircraft, than fumbling around in a bunch of airplanes.. 🙂

I should really take up your philosophy.  But then I have this weakness...for example the recently-released Azurpoly SEPECAT Jaguar...not exactly my thing to fly mil jets, but, it's one of my favorite military planes going way back.   It's the "I gots ta have it" syndrome.  

Two GAs, SWS Kodiak and PC12, and iFly 737 Max. I got tired of the Fenix, and never really fly it anymore. 

I fly them all generally speaking.  I had once contemplated building a full scale airliner home cockpit until I realized I'd never be able to limit myself to one aircraft type.

Same with me, and I just could not stand to have a 737 cockpit in front of me when flying an Airbus or a GA aircraft.

ha ha same.   

Another idea I've had is to make an "interchangeable" home cockpit ,in the sense that I would build a frame (of aluminum, or something lightweight) and I could make attachment points on that frame for various interchangeable hardware/physical panels.  It probably wouldn't be feasible / quick to change hardware though, due to the wiring.   Imagine going from a PBY Cat over to an A320 for example.

I feel like it would make more sense to invest into a VR set up, but within a physical cockpit enclosure. So you can clip the right peripherals like yokes, sticks, rudders, etc in the right spots but the actual immersion comes from VR.

I'm of the same mind about home cockpits - it's a lot of money to really invest into just one plane. 

I'm strictly one at a time. 

I don't fly any. I just come on here to annoy people. And to spread misinformation and disinformation for the Russians for which the pay me  handsomely!

In 2024, my choices are limited so I fly one plane and it's not a native 24 plane. The FBW A380 has been getting all my attention as a airline guy. The DA62 is my go to if I don't have time and wanna fly around a city or POI.

Too real these days...

I'm an aircraft hoarder so I barely have time to fly them... when flying airliners I try to keep flights within 2 hours with or without time accel...

My top choices 2020: SWS Kodiak, Carenado Cessna 185 - WYMF5 - 182Q - 337H, Cowan AS350 - EC130, Asobo ATR, Fenix A32X, PMDG 737, Classic Hangar Klemm KL 25, FreedomFox, Asobo DC3 and Blackbox Islander

In 2024 I only go back to A2A, in X-plane I have more add-ons than days to simulate.....

Well its getting warmer where I live so I probably will be spending more time outside than sitting at a computer desk but if I do find the time it will be in the Maddog X for about 6-8 hours a week. That plane is a real challenge to me.

We still do not have a quality Lancair Legacy in MSFS as that is the only  GA I flew in FSX by Real Air.

I bought every plane going in the FSX days and hardly flew most of them.

In 2020 I fly the FSL A321, PMDG 738, & A2A Comanche. I've parked 2024 as I can't be bothered to keep two simulators up to date with settings, controls, etc.

Of course the data is nice to have, with almost 15k users finishing the survey - that's pretty amazing!

Does this mean that around 8K users who started the Navigraph Survey have the attention span of a goldfish, and couldn't make it to the other side?

In only fly the Vision Jet (MS Asobo version). Perfect for my kind of flying and the time I have for it. To me the VJ is some sort of mini-Airbus (which is my favorite airliner) and I fly it as such. Heavily leaning on the systems, flying IFR usually, using published procedures (replaced Navigraph with the new MSFS2024 LIDO charts though!) but all that without the need for a co-pilot and only doing short routes (around 200 nm). I could do that with an Airbus too (I own the Fenix but haven't touched it in ages) but it would be quite unrealistic and still take too much time (I hate starting a flight at the runway: cold and dark to cold and dark everytime for me).

I have to add/admit I've also flown the Joby a few times since the release of MSFS2024 but once I figured out how it worked I haven't flown it much, really. Nice for some sightseeing but sightseeing gets boring pretty quickly. Whenever I do have time to fly I like to do complete A to B flights from cold and dark to cold and dark (always using BATC). (Haven't even looked at the careermode or any other mission-like stuff once.)
