I have it, used to play a lot but haven't loaded it in quite awhile. I used to love getting online and playing hops on servers, especially the shorter hops...Didn't see the point in hour + long hop lists.

Yeah servers were fun. Shame Microsoft dropped support for them, I mostly just use Vatsim now

I didn't play it yet when the servers were still active so I never got to experience that. Just play on private small servers now or connect to another person. Nice 777 in those above photos, LOVE that plane. It was a little expensive but worth every penny I thought

Glad to see some other Sim Pilots on here. I love it because I'm an Air Traffic Control major in College so it's nice to see things from the other side every once in a while.

Yup, I already  had the NGX and so at first I didn't really see a point in getting it. It's so much different, though, and I love it.

II have played FSX here and there but never taken it seriously which is probably why I find it boring. 

I usually taxi straight out and fly, get bored, either leave or keep flying. If I keep flying, it usually ends when I get to my destination as I have yet to find out the proper way to land :P

 

 

These mods look epic, could you guys post which sites you get the graphics and other mods on like ground crew traffic etc?

Take your flight level(EX:FL350 or FL235. 35,000 or 23,500 thousand feet. ) Multiply that times 3 and you will get your miles away from the runway you need to start descending. I usually  idle engines and set vertical speed to to 1500 or 2000.

I play FSX I got the PMDG 737NGX

I used to play FS all the time. I had all the add ons, scenery, etc. I'm still with Delta Virtual Airlines and used to fly like 2-3 legs in the Maddog Pro with track IR back in the day.

 

I still control on VATSIM, though I haven't done much flying lately. Probably because I fly every day at work so, flight sim kind of lost its appeal. That combined with my GTA gaming taking up most of my free time...

 

The view from my office:

 

Terrain off the departure end flying out of Oaxaca, Mexico.

 

The terrain map on the ground at Oaxaca, Mexico.

I thought that was FSX at first. What Embraer is that?

Hah, I wish. My computer is pretty high end so FSX looks great, but not that good.

 

It's the E145XR. I'm a First Officer with ExpressJet airlines operating under the United Express side of the company.

I used to play FSX but it was crap on my pc. I play fs2004 now once in a while when I get in the mood to fly and really like it. I fly a lot of Delta planes doing short flights from orlando to atlanta and maybe newark too. I sometimes fly Jetblue A320s out of ORL to EWR a lot. I have some old, and I mean OLD videos of window view flights I used to fly and record and play back afterwards using some fs software that I cant remember. BTW I use simple controls. not that complicated buttons and switches and checklist stuff everyone uses.

 

Check out the spoiler for videos

I use to play FSX lots, I'm a pilot for Canadian Xpress VA on the Vatsim network, but I've lost my disk and flight stick so I'm in the process of getting new ones. http://store.madcatz.com/brands/saitek/Saitek-PRO-flight-commercial-pilot-bundle-for-PC.html thats the new set up I'm looking to buy.

 

I'm also a controller on Vatsim so I'm online every now and then.

I used to fly since FS98 up to FSX but I stopped doing it since I married. We moved together and there's no room for the equipment ever since. I was never a fan of FSX because the simulator always crashed when I changed to another aircraft.  FS2004 was my favorite and with all the addons I had I think it was way better than FSX. What also bugs me about FSX is that Microsoft wants a good amount of money for each new DLC aircraft.

I am one of the original founding members of VERTva. Back in the day we where one of the largest virtual VA's online. I sometimes miss it and still do fly once a month or so but like with many here GTA takes most of my free time now.

Screw that mathematical nonsense, I always began my descent whenever it felt appropriate, never went wrong. Say, anyone play X-Flight 10?

That's some Chuck Norris shit.

Screw drugs! FSX is a much more expensive habit! *Stares at $384.88 PMDG shopping cart longingly*

This is one of the only pics I could find from my flights. (had to attach it as IPB is developed by retards!)

Left KAUS(Austin,TX) en route to KSEA(Seattle,WA). Thought this was a awesome pic.
