lthendrix Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi All, I have been very busy lately and have not had time for a proper flight of at least an hour. I usually try to fly in the sim at least a little every day. I have not flown since Saturday.... 5 whole days. what little time I have after work has been going to household chores and to tell the truth I have been fiddling around with a certain Polish made RPG sequel at night....not flying but playing another video game has me feeling a bit guilty. Any one ever feel like that And what is the longest you have abstained from simulated flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I was away for over a week once when my machine let go big style and blew the motherboard, but i also get around one hour after work every night some times more hours than i should are spent in front of the screen flying around i hold my hands up and say my name is Iain and im addicted to ORBX land. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshkop Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yep, I switch between Arma 2-battlefield b c-civ5...and yes I do feel a little guilty only because of the money I've put into my sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Newman Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I stopped simming all together for about a year... before I finally got a new rig to make FSX do what I wanted it to do in the first place. Now I still don't fly the sim every day, but I'm currently building a few control gizmos and investing in a few new hardware options to make my flying a lot more realistic... After which, I'm sure I will be simming every day. Until Mass Effect 3 comes out that is... Then I suspect EVERYTHING will go on hold till I complete that!

Matthew Kane Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've gone on breaks of a few months or so over the years. I have been dedicated flight simming since FS version 2 in the early 80's though so I do need to have some time away from it occasionally. My other addiction away from FSX is Empire Total War as I am a huge history fanatic. I love that you can re-enact historic battles as a General. Other then that I don't have other software games of simulators that I play. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heiko Glatthorn Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It's not a mistake to take a break now and then. If you play/do nothing else you might get an overdose and loose interest completely. Get a good game (i highly recommend Portal 2 ) and have some fun. So when you fire up the sim, you'll feel like after a holiday trip - good to be home again .

BlackburnBuccaneer Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 My other main hobby is model making and I find that at times I need to take a break from FS and I will not do much simming for a week or two and sometimes I will fly almost every day, but not do any modelling.

jgutteri Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It doesn't hurt to have more than one hobby! For my I've become addicted to iRacing and the intensity of racing real people and driving smoothly on the limit. I too have invested heavily in flight sim and do feel guilty when I'm not flying, but always remember the story about the donkey: />http://sivers.org/donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
