I would like to know what you guys consider to be serious FS2k2 achievements that you have managed.

As an example after much graphics, joystick and OS tweaking I am finally running at a steady 30fps at manageble detail levels.

This has increased my control of the aircraft that I am now able to track the centre line of the runway in a cessna with crosswind and some turbulence.

So what have you lot managed lately?

Well - - -I got my CFS3 working pretty decent - that is an accomlishment in itself!!!

Mine works better under ME than it ever did under XP.

I've flown under or along nearly every famous (inverted in inapropriate aircraft), and quite a few not so famous bridges in the virtual world, and I've massacred loads of stuff in my beloved Spit in CFS3.

The most 'serious' achievement is to enjoy it.

I think the best thing I've ever done is seriously learn, practice and use IFR navigation. It took a while and lots of reading and practice, but I'm now a very confident IFR pilot.
In January, I took my C-5 across the US, then visited 3 continents, then back home to Travis. Using NavLog print outs, and FSNav only as a reference for nav aids and to check positioning, but 100% IFR.
Big Hint: Using a kneeboard or simple notepad helps allot.

What a blast!!!

My biggest achievment is finally getting to a point where graphic wise I am very happy, and I have enough aircraft and sceneries on my hard drive to keep me very satisfied.  I am not downloading like crazy anymore, because it is all the same.  Granted, when someone creates new and unique aircraft or scenery, I may take a look.    I just enjoy the game now, not much tweeking...

Being able to fly without the GPS was one of my better achievements. And still getting a good landing is a good achievement!

Landing with NO visibility, a thunderstorm at night, all in a 747 with one engine and no instruments.  I played around with these variables for a little while, and finally landed a sweet, soft landing (after three tries).

Whew!

hi:
