Wanna fly together on-line? Never did that but it might be fun.

Sorry, I do Flightgear.
Do you use VATSIM? I'm on VATSIM..
Naw. Don't mess with others. Been with MS or Sublogic since day one and have always loved them. One thing MS has always done superbly. Tried that X-version when I had Unbuntu, but it broke linux, so I chucked it.

VATSIM is a plugin for FlightSim... it's what I used to use.. but haven't in quite some time due to logistics.
Oh, OK. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I crash more than I land, but have fun with FSX once in awhile. Might be interested, but only if you promise not to laugh too hard.
Why would anybody expect that promise here?But of course I'll make it. We can keep it simple and just do the ultra-light.

I used MS Flight Sim but haven't done it for a few years. I mainly used to fly vintage propliners, i.e. DC3, DC6, Constellation and turboprops (Lockheed Electra and FH-227). I primarily flew old Mohawk Airlines and Allegheny routes.(NYC-Albany, Buffalo) and tried to keep things as authentic as I could manage (including old schedules). Rarely crashed but had a hard landing now and then. Always got my passengers to their destination in one piece...
To do it again I would need a lot of practice and re-familiarization with the different planes, instruments, etc. Whole different "feel" between flying a Connie or a DC6 versus a modern day jet airliner.
I also used to fly a few helicopters but I was never too happy with MS Flight Sim helicopter simulation. MS Flight Sim is a good plank simulator. It is a lousy helicopter sim.
Oh, and I did fly some military jets on Ms. Flight Sim. Reasonable at subsonic speeds but not too good above Mach 1.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Usual practice is to fly long routes with the auto-pilot. Usually land with the auto-pilot, too. Takes a lot of the difficulty out of it. Sometimes I'll fly a Grumman Goose -- the first plane I ever took a ride in.
And John, I love that route. Been over it many, many time between the east coast and Michighan in all modes; Driving, Flying and the train. Very scenic and of great historical significance. Where the 20th Century Limited and the Erie Canal were/are.
