What Sim Rate do you fly in?

[f-16]

I usualy fly in 4X. That way it is not too fast but not too slow that it takes me a long time to go short distances. Plus reading ATC and seeing AI is easier as well.

How fast do you sim?

I usually fly at normal rate.  If on a long flight with autopilot engaged I'll go to 4X till I get close to my destination then drop back to 1X.

Depends on the distence and for what purpose.  If its a short hop then real time, If its for my VA real time reqardless of distence, and if its a personal non logged flight over longer distances then...auto pilot, direct gps, 16x.      5000 miles flys when its at 16x    

i just got done with  7 hour flight for my VA the other night.  7 hours, nonstop, real time...      though   not at my desk for most of it      just stopped in to get any clearences i needed.

Real time, but I really only fly around the UK an certain parts of Europe usually in a fighter at ridiculously low altitudes or maybey 200 miles or so in a classic jet like a Meteor, Vampire or Lightning.

99% of time, I fly real time ! To me real time on "sim" seems slower than REAL TIME ON REAL AIRCRAFT.
When I fly on a real Cessna 172 it seems we get to our destination much faster. I haven't actually timed it to compare, but I guess real flying would pass by quicker since there is much more stimulie to the brain.
Has anyone timed real time on "sim" to REAL Flying time?

Always 1X. Unless im on Auto going a LONG way.

I only really feel a difference if I'm flying the plane, if I'm a passenger I get incredibly bored  ::)

[Scottler]

Oh you can change it?  (joking)  I ALWAYS, without exception, fly at 1x.

Always fly in real time and sitting in front of the computer, even on those 10+ hour flights

FS 2002. GA aircraft, VFR only.

I only do short hops with frequent stops for fuel, etc, so I always fly in real time, eg: 1x.... ...!
..any thing faster than that is for Star Wars fans... ...!

LOL.... ...!
