Are you asking for total flight time in all MS flight simulators? If so, i've got a few thousand hours. If you only talking about FSX, only 15 hours. But i've only had it a month, and i've been gone for a lot of that... ;)

Important distinction needs to be made here. Sim time or real world time.

All my FS flying is done at real time, so all my logged time is real time, and near my computer... ;)

I never, never speed the sim rate up, nor would I ever set the aircraft on autopilot and leave the room.

Ha. Not exactly what I meant. I was referring to flight hours in real world aircraft vs. FSX aircraft (though given the board it's posted under you can probably guess which he meant). But you do bring up a good point, if you set up a long haul flight (like LA to London), put it on auto-pilot and go to work and/or bump up sim rate, would you count the hrs in sim time or only the time you were actually sitting at the comp. I can see that making a huge difference for people who do a lot of long-hauls like that.

I assumed that since the question was asked in an FS board, the question meant FS time. On the other hand, if he were to ask the same question over in the Real Aviation board, I would assume he would mean real flight time ;)

But as for the long haul flights, I don't fly over the oceans very often, but say I wanted to fly to Hawaii for a couple weeks, I would fly the whole flight in real time, and be at or near my computer. If I needed to go to town, do some chores outside or do something in another room, ect, I would pause/save the flight and continue the flight when I returned to my computer.

In FSX about 400 to 500. For the total MSFS series would probably be near 1500-1800! :)
