..during your Sim Flights?.. Grin..!

I spend a lot of time in familiar places, (as the Bishop said to the Actress!.. Kiss..), and I often/mostly do a running commentary about everything around me as I "fly"...Solo and Multiplayer...
Fortunately there is no-one else in my room at the time, so my descriptions can be very detailed and enlightening to my imaginary passengers...(which would be annoying to any real human beings in close proximity, trying to watch the Television!)... Grin...!

So..there you go, Chums..... Wink...

Are there any more Flight Sim Nut-cases out there, who persist in talking to themselves during their imaginary flights?

May the Good Lord help us!... Grin... Grin... Grin...!

Paul..."...and down below, we have....".... Grin...!

I have to admit I do describe my flights to my wife if she is in the room. But describing my flight to imaginary passengers is certainly NOT out of the question! In other words...you are not alone Fozzer  Wink

This morning I have taken my little Cessna 150 on a flight from Byron (C83) to South County of Santa Clara County, (Q99) with a most delightful female passenger, and describing all the details of Silicon Valley as we slowly drift over it...(The Bishop relates a similar experience)...
Later on we will be landing at Watsonville (KWVI), and dining in a cosy restaurant in Santa Cruz, by the Pacific Ocean....

...who knows what delights are in store for me later in the evening.., Kiss...!

So much excitement can be had in a Compact Disk of Microsoft's Flight Simulator...

...trust me... Wink..!

Paul...further XXX details tomorrow morning... Wink...!

Whew!  I thought  was the only one! Wink
Ladies and gentlemen, please observe that the captain has turned on the chain-smoking sign, as your flight will almost certainly be erratic and result in overspeed.  Please keep your seatbelts fastened for the duration of the flight as sudden control movements can be expected.  Tonight's movie will be 'Dazed and Confused' and there will only be an in-flight meal if the captain gets the munchies.  Should the captain be sober enough to make it to the correct airfield your chances of a safe landing are slim, so enjoy the flight while you can and thank you for flying Air Bud Greene. Cheesy Cheesy Grin Grin

I've done that a time or two myself. I'm actually looking for some sound files I can add to my jet liners so as to here a little chit chat in the cabin whilst I try not to kill everybody on board. Wouldn't mind some flight deck conversations as well.

Just remember Fozz....You can talk to yourself all you want and no one will think your crazy....Just don't answer yourself.I,m also guilt of that one Grin

Mike...Call sign Asylum two four  Grin Grin Cheesy

If I'm doing a scenic tour in my Catalina I usually talk to my passengers about the area we are flying in.

Sometimes they even answer back if I do a bad landing. Cheesy

I also mutter to my plane & sometimes shout at it if it misbehaves.

And on CFS3 I sometimes imitate radio chatter about what we are going to attack & why.

Yesterday I was attacking a cruiser & imitating the chatter.

Ok so yes, I’m mad. Wink

You are not mad, you are normal! Well, maybe that means that our definition of 'normal' is off...lol
It is really hard NOT to imitate the radio chatter in a combat flight sim! I do it all the time in IL-2 1946 and SF2.

Also I find it really hard in CFS3 not to use slang from WW2.

So after I attacked the cruiser this was my combat report that I made up.

We sighted a Jerry Cruiser in the harbor. I lined up our Stringbag & launched our Tinfish right into Jerry’s side. But somehow it missed & hit a bally Tug. Grin

That's why I'm mad. Wink

Hmmm. I have no idea what's with that sentence that deserves that wrap up Grin.

The real title to this post should be,
Do your passengers reply when you talk to them?  Cheesy
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I'm flying Hurricanes, Spitfires, Mustangs, sometimes an Me109... but, I admit, I speak to my self quite often... and sometimes I answer; occasionally I've flown a Stuka -- but I'm too busy trying to get to the target and the gunner is too busy missing his target for a conversation (perhaps my imagination but I think I've heard him curse and emit a dying gasp but nothing particularly directed at me).



Cool
