Wow im hearing alot of the same and diffrent storys. I was expecting like 3 posts but alot of people I know from the forums like A1, Brando, esselbach, vodka burner, couldent forget fozzer (funniest person I know on the forums :)) .. and im meeting more people in the other pasts of these forums.
Seems like alot of you started before Microsoft! ;D And alot of you dint have internet and some people have been here for 6 or more years! To be honest im suprised alot becuase I use to be on the IGN blogs and stuff for a long time but I only have like 220 posts and here im going for 500! and I love the avatars and signatures and quoting people when you post you have to pay for all that on IGN >:(. Ever since I joined here on simv, I learned how to use Autopilot, Addons, Virtual Airlines, THE ILS!!!, VOR, and alot of stuff that use to bug me alot on FSX. Its seems like 2004 was alot popular that FSX and it still seems popular?
I will admit these were great storys but if you havent told me your story yet feel free Ill love to read it and the long ones are sometimes funny like fozzers simulators in the 70's ;D

), which also holds me back from several VAs as well. In the meantime, I fly alone, at 35000 feet, mainly in the PMDG 747, occasionally interspersed with the 737, though soon I will be collecting the LevelD 767 to aid my desire for variety, and a new high quality scenery package arriving every other week (currently planned are ImagineSim KDEN and KATL).
