Sometimes it does relate to FS…I tend to have my FS startup on a saved trip. I fly real time, fuel and weather on these trips. My first “TRIP” was of the outside perimeter of the USA in a Baron 58. This took months because of weather and time constraints.
My current trip is to land at every airport/strip in Vermont, VFR, daytime flights. This is in the 152 and so far I have 58 landings. Occasionally I take off and the FS weather updates and some low vis or clouds will showup and I have to replan the flight or find my way back to where I started.
Even in Flight Sim the unplanned incidents happen. I have let my fuel get too low because I wanted to get to another grass strip when I should have headed to that larger FBO for fuel. Lesson Learned…
Thanks Chris …throttle ON,

That’s awesome you did that in a Baron! That sounds like a blast. Very cool also that you’re learning a lot by doing that Vermont thing. I’ve always thought of doing something like that, but I think I have too short of an attention span to follow through on something like that. Although, here I am doing this series and I am currently not behind on that, so… I guess I never know until I try!
It’s all been interesting stuff Chris, but I was wondering how much we could apply it in FS. I think the problem is we don’t suffer the same consequences, either because we’re not actually putting our lives on the line, or just because, for instance, weather in FS is not such a big deal as it can be in real life. I think it’s a good idea to try to think like this though, after all, most of us want to get as close to real flight as we can.
By the way, I like your custom 404 message!
I have a custom 404 message?….
Yep, I saw it when I posted my earlier comments from my Blackberry.
