I don't even think I spend 5 hours a week anymore using FSX.. If there is something new then I tend to spend a few more hours on it, but as of late I just don't. It's not that I don't want to, its just after staring at PC's all day I don't tend to want to do it on my days off.
 
I spend more time downloading files and tweaking than anything.

But right now, I won't be doing much of anything with FSX itself, because my sound is not working, period. Will get it working, hopefully, in a couple weeks.
 
oh gods, i HATE tweaking.. Thats what got me started doing flight models to begin with and NOW look.. I havent done a flight just for fun in almost two months ::LLOL:; and YES, starting-testing-stopping- restarting counts ::LOL:; .. just kinda scary i'm the only one so far doing this more than full time..
 
I would say 2-3 hours a day, but most of it isn't flying, it's testing scenery and whatnot. Occasionally I get tired or burnt out of working in FSX and do a couple an hour flight, fire up Blackshark , do some WWll flying in IL2 Pacific Fighters or do some FPS in GRAW 1 or 2.
 
Hard poll to answer, but to be honest with myself I put down 20 hours or less per week.

That includes all the time tinkering with addons, adding repaints, converting repaints from FSX to FS9, shopping around for something new, etc., as well as actual flying, etc.

Decided not to include time at SOH. :jump:

I average about 20 - 25 hrs. a week on the sim, but probably half that time is spent tweaking and modifying rather than flying. I find that most of my flights are about 1 - 2 hours long.
 
Not even averageing 2 hours a week anymore.

The GF broke up with me recently and I found out from her mother that she aborted our child before breaking up...

Sorry for the personal business, not in the habbit of doing this, but I'm devestated by this.

Sorry to hear about that.

However, as upsetting as it may be now, I'm sure in a few weeks/years you'll look back at this and be glad that things turned out the way they did. If this woman didn't have the maturity to discuss these matters with you beforehand, I hardly think she has the maturity to either have a solid relationship, or frankly to be a good parent.

Chin up, go and drink your bodyweight in beer.
 
My sim time varies, it has been down the last few months, but I would normally be close to the 20 hour mark. I just tried to sneak a new gaming rig into the house in hopes of getting some quality time in that Lionheart Epic, and some of my fav Piglet models, but... well see for yourself - the wife was not impressed...

WOW that's terrible! We live in a crazy world these days. May your heart be consoled soon.
 
I try to have 1 hour a day for flying - FSX, Lomac FC, Rise of FLight, Wings of Prey, DCS BS,

we sure have a lot to choose from eh

saddest thing I ever heard man...but it sure doesn't sound to me like you had much to do with either of her decisions...

chin up kid...bad stuff happens to good people every day
 
I put 5 hrs or below-that's flying time. If I was to include time spent reading flightsim forums, flightsim reviews, and such, I would have to double that estimate.

Back when it was all new to me, back in the days when IL-2, BOB, LOMAC, and B17-2 were just out, it was much more.

New addons, whether a/c or scenery, up the weekly total for awhile, but then I flatline until the next new goodie.

I think maybe I should head out to the local FBO, and do it for real.
 
Truth be known, like these developers here, I spend much more time doing research and repaints for the two sims, than I ever spend actually simming.

I try and get an hour's flight (here lately, it is always in the Pacific Northwest:ernae:) before I bed down. Flying during the day is usually out, unless it happens to rain. There is just too much outdoor work and recreation to do in nice weather right now.

Now when the Dog Days of July and August get here, I'll fly during the hours of the high sun. ROFLMAO gigbyte :bump:
