Same as Saitek: there is more in life than flying (my family thinks).

Flying over sea for hours is no fun. Two or three hours, sometimes, that's long enough.

And occasionally I press the + button: double speed, three dubble speed, four ... I know, it's a kind of cheating, but I want scenery, not only water.

Thanks guys. You all are pretty...


Oooops! made a slight typing mistake guys  ;D sorry 'bout that. ::)

Wonderful replies. Do appreciate the comments. I guess in worst scenerio I would have to press pause if there was something of vital.

Thanks.

I actually enjoy long haul flights in real time.
But the flightplanning is half the fun though  :)

Agreed Nexus, much joy is to be had just in the pre-flight phase.

Don't take it back Charles, it was the nicest thing anyones said to me in a long, long time
