Ok guys, for what it's worth. I wanted to be a pilot but circumstances prevented me from pursuing that goal. Flying thousands of hours as pax I have never lost interest in aviation. A year ago I purchased FS. It has provided me with lots of fun but I appreciate that it's a piece of pi*s compared to the real thing. Nevertheless, it has helped me to comprehend a great deal more than before and I am much more "aware" of what's going on when I ride
JS. I would of course love to try it out on a real sim although I am fearful that A VERY CIVIL PILOT may well be right and I would embarrass myself. Anyway, at 50 I'm too old to start a new career so let me enjoy my little fantasy on FS. Incidentally I promise not to mention FS if I'm riding on your jumpseat
.
P.S. I don't sit for 8 hours on it!!
