 Although Murphy likes to mess with me and when im on the best part of the movie, its time to make the initial descent xD

They always come at the worst times, don't they? :] :]

Yes they do, Murphy's law has no exceptions. xD

Hello,

Here is what I do when doing some on-line flights:

1) Using aircrafts with FS2Crew (usually LevelD Sim 767)
2) While Airborne, monitoring the flight (FMC), Fuel levels
3) Preparing STAR / Arrival procedure, and checking TAF
4) Preparing Arrival to alternate airport if diverted
5) Check traffic in my area with IVAE especially if there is no controller to manage conflicts
6) Sometimes, I monitor my flight using MyFSGoogleEarth and Google Earth.

THat's all folks.
Cheers

Add FsPassengers to that and then you have a list of how I spend my long flights

I very rearly can fly long haul flights but when I do I tend to do them in tandem with some one else who's flying online too (Rico knows all about flying with others, namely Christos).

Other than that, there's always fuel distribution, spatial and situation awarenes. And I challenge anyone to tell me that they are confident of exactly where they are and what's happenning around them without the use of external aids (FSNav, IvAe, ServInfo, DLMN etc.)


Happy flying, safe landings

Very true Sotiris, I totally forgot to mention that!

90% of the time I'm always flying with some one on the network I met at the same departure airport, and we fly all the way chatting with each other and stuff.

75% of the IVAO 2007 WT I flew with Christos. We would always connect at the same time (mostly the late/early evening/morning hours) and fly the legs together ... sometimes even 2-3 in a row!

Flying with a buddy definitely makes time fly by
