From the M$ point of view anything that isn't their product is of the Dark Side...

If I would have had 100 Euro for everytime I got bored with FS or gaming in common, I'd be a rich man by now.... But as always, you get back to it. Just wait for a while. I haven't finished a flight in a long time. Started a flight yesterday, flew for 5 or 10 minutes and got thinking; What the h3ll I'm a doing here, sitting behind my desk, with a stupid piece of plastic in front of me, when I could be doing something useful. So I shut down all of FS, got my little daughter by the hand, kissed my wife goodbye and went for a milkshake. One day when she is all grown up (or at least at an age where she can entertain herself), I'll be roaring around in the virtual skies again.

PS Somehow I never get bored with SimViation. I wonder why...

It seems like a pretty common theme, and I fall into this category as well:

Flight sim lost it's fascination for me when I took my first flying lesson. That was about five years ago. I guess I felt that it wasn't real enough any more. Since then, my sim flying has been limited to just half an hour or hour here and there. Maybe a short cross country using actual paper charts, or doing silly things like flying through a canyon. Certain things still bring great satisfaction, like a "perfect" landing (which is harder to do in the sim than for real IMO) or navigating VFR and ending up right where I'm supposed to be. I guess what I'm saying is to put it into perspective, take a break, come back when you want to and do the things that you enjoy most about it. That is what it is for after all, enjoyment.

I've recently gone over to the Dark Side, I've brought X-Plane 9. The graphics aren't as good as FSX but the game play is incredibly realistic and suddenly I'm focusing on sharpening my skills on a variety of planes and being an aerobatic God in as close to realistic settings as possible.
Remember I'm a nutter.... scary or what?

Not necessarily so... you can wind up with "Sorry, you're overqulaified" to most every job application, if you get a response at all... and forced to vie for assistance no matter how physically able you are.

Since the day I took my first flying lesson to 2 years ago when I joined this forum...I have not been bored enough to ever consider giving up or stop flying sim.

As a matter of fact, I try to rack up as many hours as I can in FS like im a real pilot...since I cant be one yet. Try looking into FSP, that got me even more hooked.  8-)

About 400+ logged hours...im so proud
