how to make long flights more...

(1/7) > >>

EHM-2089 Vincent:
Let's take a situation where I am flying between LSZH and EGLL on a Saab 2000 - rather slow plane compared to jets or any other plane. It should be an hour and a half's flight. Playing the game online can be a little monotonous if there are no controllers who will ask you to do a bit of aerobatics to avoid oncoming planes.

However the same can also happen when flying offline. Where the inbuilt ATC will keep you busy too. But you can choose not to fly to the tunes of the ATC and stick to your flight plan.

What are things you do to make your flight of 80 - 90 minutes or longer ones more interesting. I do something with my flight plan, I will tell that later, but I want to hear what others do before I tell my secret!!!

'intendo DS (I'm trying to get through Final Fantasy III at the moment... ;))

And I look out for other EHM pilots (and friends from IVAO-GB when I'm on IVAO) for chatting purposes.

MSN and Myspace :P

EHM-2089 Vincent:
Ha good replies, ok let me be specific, what do you do to make the flying process interesting. If the scenario is that you cannot change to anything else and only fly the plane? In the same sense, it just means to say that imagine you are in the cockpit of the plane, you cannot browse or surf something else ... what would you do to make the flying interesting????

EHM-0654 Murray:
I direct the honourable gentleman to my original reply :D

If were pretending real-world, you'd either be PF (and busy checking flight) or PNF (and busy coordinating with ATC), even on longer-haul. It's only the transcontinental crews that get a chance to "break" during flights (to the best of my knowledge).
