Hello from France

Featured Replies

Hello everyone !

 

My name is Taylor, and I live in France. I discovered flight sim with FS 2020 (XBox version). For FS 2024, I bought a new PC and a dedicated hardware setup (Winwing FCU/EFIS/MCDU and VKB joystick and throttle).

 

I mainly fly with airliners, especially Airbus (Fenix A320, Inbuilds A350, FBW A380) and Embraer (FSS E190). I'm also a military aircraft user (Miltech C17 Globemaster) and a beginner with business jets (Flight FX Hondajet et Citation X). I don't have VATSIM or IVAO yet, but I use BeyondATC to train my skills for some more realistic flights.

 

 

Hi Welcome

I have never been to France, but I was close (Trier, in Germany) one time.  I'd like to see the Massif Central (Clermont-Ferrand or that area) some day.  I knew someone that emigrated to Aquitaine/Bordeaux area.  I'm not really sure exactly where, I unfortunately lost track of him.

VKB is a nice stick, I wish I had gone that direction (VKB) rather than Virpil sometimes.   Another good business jet should be out in 2026 and that would be the FSReborn (Embraer) Phenom 300.  Some of your experience with the FSS E190 might translate to the FSReborn Phenom 300.

Yes, Clermont Ferrand is the main city in Massif Central. Despite his airport is not very important, It's mostly used for regional flights I think.

VKB is a good hardware, I have the Gladiator Next Evo, with a STECS throttle. Virpil was my second choice for the stick, but I've finally change my choice for the VKB. And it's completely different from my old Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X, when I was on XBox.

I heard for the FSReborn Phenom 300, It will surely be a guaranteed purchase. Currently, I'm waiting for the Cessna Citation X+ made by Flight FX, and the Bombardier Global 7500 made by CJ Simulation.
