Question for Jomni, PanzersEast or other Flight Simmers

[jomni]

In a way I suppose it is.  It's not nearly as automated as the 737.  I find it more difficult to fly, but it could be because I don't have as much time with it. 

The way DVA is set up they put groups of planes in "stages" that are roughly equivalent.  I'm in Stage 2 which included the 737 variants, the MD-80s, and the A-320 series.  When you sign up you have to choose which of the three groupings you want to start in; I chose the737 since I had the PMDG aircraft.  In order to fly a plane in the same stage besides the one you're in initially you have to fly a checkride in the plane you're applying to. 

In order to promote to the next stage of plane you have to earn Captain in your main plane (737 for me) and then apply to transfer to the next stage.  For me this would be the 727.  I've been holding off on buying the Captain Sim 727 until I get promoted; kind of a reward to myself for doing it!

727 is interesting.  Even more manual stuff.  It's quite exciting and fulfilling actually.

Can I ask what your setup is Jomni, in terms of environment addons (lights, weather, terrain) (sorry if you already have somewhere)

Just to add, my aircraft is Carenado C208 and not default.

But you just bought Command.

I know...but I did sell my old motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card and monitor for £160...I just need to keep it secret!

Yes...just waiting for a bit of stability in the bank and I think I will be there.

I have forgone my want for an airbrush and compressor for the moment.

You guys are close to wooing me back to civ-simming with this thread...

[jomni]

Not flightsim but this is the reason why we have ATC.  Just look at that guy's face.
