Poll: How do you fly?

Postby FlierForLife » Wed Apr 06, 2011 2:55 pm

This is just a little poll i'd like to do because I am curious about other people's flight sim habits. Just answer these few questions and compare yours to others!

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

Long mostly but i like the little Hidde away airports as my destination. sometimes water. i have a sweet little floatplane for that

Both

VFR 75% of the time. IFR when i want to Fly through snow storms. try Flying from Boston Logan to BarHarbor in white out conditions  ;D

1) Both, with a small preference for taildraggers

2) Piston powered props mainly, turboprop rarely, jet very, very, very rarely if ever

3) Doesn't matter, as long the landing is not boring (the more challenging, the better)

4) Not an important parameter. I fly both indiscriminately as long they are worth it.

5) IFR mainly, VFR from time to time (but under X-plane, which is the best sim for VFR on the market right now)

8-)

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
