In a moment of haste I bought this. Not exactly a cheap one to start with!I picked it up on ebay (actual developer sells it) for £20. Probably I shouldn't have got it, but it got rated well in the mag and it looked good. I could do with improving the way I fly and having my landings rated as there is nothing to tell me just how good a landing is. I always set realism to easy, because I don't wish to be told I have crashed! 

Hasn't arrived yet, but looking forward to it.

I only started to keep a record of how much I have flown since 2004 when I joined a virtual airline. I have logged about 350 hours of flying in the last 3.5 years. Probably though only 280-300hours has been actual in the cockpit. Start chopping that down that isn't much a year. However there is flying and quality flying. I know I'm having fun, but I know also that some of my flying just isn't at an acceptable standard. I can usually put it on if demanded in a small aircraft, but not consistently and totally unreliably in the big jets.
Time on the forums hasn't much to do with flying. I wouldn't be surprised if there are people here who barely touch a sim.
