start a VA.. or start your own simulated charter business. or map out a plan.. and then stick to it.

 

for example: I want to learn and fly the Carenado C90 then move up to the PMDG J41 then by then the new PMDG Dash 8 or maybe the new Aerosoft Twotter, etc.. and that brings up another point.. I fly only payware scenery (ORBX) and payware aircraft as well.. I bought a real pilots kneeboard from sportys pilot shop and yes I strap it on 95% of the time.. unless I'm flying Ants' Drifter ultralight.. or a C172, etc.. I treat FSX as if it would be real.. if the weather is crappy, I don't fly or I'll go IFR.. by treating it real.. that ads a lot of fun.

I used to fly as a virtual charter long ago... it was very, very fun at the beggining, but efter a month of doing it I had to do some free flights...

Saving screenshots in JPEG/JPG format often results in poor quality because some colours tend to blur, so convert them to GIF format before posting them, which is much crisper.

I use the free 'Irfanview' imaging programme to convert them, and you can also use the tools in it to brighten/darken/sharpen/enlarge/shrink the pics before posting them.

What would you do in a real life emergency?

 

I discovered this Canadian TV series called MAYDAY. There are over 89 recreations of airline disasters based on NTSB reports. Not all of them are suitable for Flight Sym recreations, but I have taken to re-creating and re-flying a few of them. My first effort was FLight Air Transat 236. Still trying it.

I might be wrong, but many of the shots in these series seem to be from FSX...

I do not have the hardware necesary to run FSX, but Ive bought it, and Im waiting. Till I get a new PC, im using FS2004. Its nice to fly VFR using the Piper Cub, with no gps, and without accesing the map. Soaring is also fun, try doing a cross country flight in a sailplane.

Flights around the world are a very interesting way to spent your free time. You can use different planes, or the same plane during your trip. Try using a small plane, like the C172. It can get boring, but most likely it wont.

Also, a good way to keep going is start developing addons. You can start with your home airfield.
