For a keyboard flier

[Ashar]

I fly with a keyboard...I could care less about realism because like it or not, it's not real...it's a simulator...a SIMULATOR...You can do whatever the heck you want in a SIMULATOR...Besides, you don't need a joystick for those long haul flights that I often do...Set the autopilot after takeoff and relax

True, it's a simulator - the contradiction being that using a keyboard doesn't simulate any aircraft anywhere.

Besides, you don't need a joystick for those long haul flights that I often do...Set the autopilot after takeoff and relax

Sounds like a laugh a minute Ash - can you honestly sit there for 3 hours watching water from 28000ft & not get bored?

I don't watch the monitor for three or more hours...I watch my TV or do something else...I just check every now and then on the systems lest anything go wrong...It can actually be quite fun to fly long haul...You can fly over deserts, mountains, and oceans...And, if you have some high quality airports, it's even more fun to take off from one and then land at one...With some realistic AI, it makes the experience even better

I do it that way too. I care more about the airports than the traffic, as I don't do it with the sub-standard offline ATC (even if it means taking off or landing under UNICOM - if the airport is empty I will forgive the use of UNICOM 122.80).
