Been a bit quiet here. All been grounded? Latest ride. Not any knobs to click, doubt it's massively accurate but it's free and it's fun.... #RedDevils  |

By all accounts it flies well but it is a bit complicated Seemed easy enough to get off the ground. Need to spend a bit of time with her and see what all the controls are for!! And great value at £12.49 Careful when landing as the nose tends to dip |

Anybody flying since the new update yesterday? Anything new worth trying out? Anything broke?
I haven't even loaded the game in a month or any other game for that matter except to play my weekly CC and brew crew rounds. Been kind of on a gaming hiatus last month or so but considering getting into some flying again.

I haven't even loaded the game in a month or any other game for that matter except to play my weekly CC and brew crew rounds. Been kind of on a gaming hiatus last month or so but considering getting into some flying again. Only had a brief go with no issues. Announced a big (free) update coming out 18th November with new aircraft. |

Oh yeah I forgot about the Nov update. I was just looking at the official forums and see a 737 Max is coming out by the end of year. Will be getting that for sure. I regret not buying the (whatever its called version), top one that has the 787 Dreamliner. I love my big jets.
Fired up Steam, downloading the Destiny 2 update since its been queued for a week now and I've been ignoring it. On a hiatus from that, skipping the entire new season. Then will do the FS update and let it download for what will be a long time I'm sure.
Getting the gaming itch back. Weird, month or so ago I wasn't feeling too great and ever since then have been feeling exceptionally tired and no ambition to do anything. (kind of why I have been silent in the Brew Crew thread) Woke up today feeling a little more energetic. Almost have an urge to play some golf and have a look at next weeks course.

Not really fussed about the Airliners. I prefer to be nearer to the ground than 33,000 feet!! I've had a dabble with Far Cry 6, and really looking forward to Forza Horizon arriving in a couple of weeks. Would really like to spend more time in MSFS20 though. Got me a nice collection of planes but would really like to invest more time in the nuts and bolts of flying them. Glad you are feeling a bit better mate.  |

Got me a nice collection of planes but would really like to invest more time in the nuts and bolts of flying them. Glad you are feeling a bit better mate. 33,000 feet. lol no way. Nice and low to the ground at high speed lol. But in all honestly I like to dabble in every type of plane. My usual routine is to do a few jet liner flights, then jump to descent or approach and practice my landings. The nuts and bolts is what I like about the jets though. Take off, set auto pilot then hit the cockpit and play with the screens. Usually just short commuter type trips that don't take too long. When I get bored of that I drop down to slower planes. My personal favorite for just cruising around sight seeing is the TBM 930. Would like to try Far cry 6 but just not sold on it. I never cared for the art style of the last version with all the purples and sh%$. I really enjoyed FC Primal back when it came out though. I'll also be digging into Forza when it hits. Been a long time since I did any racing. P.S. I never did fully update FS yesterday, did the steam part then went and played golf for a bit then saw something shiny and quit to attend to that. None computer stuff lol. My attention span is lacking in my old age lol |

One mission a session nowadays. |

Going to use it as the jet that I learn how to operate properly from the ground up. I don’t waste money down the pub nowadays or spend hundreds following sport so this is my money pit nowadays!! |

The plane looks well done but it’s almost the price of a full game these days not an add on so I won’t be buying it until it’s on sale |

I’d like to say I had more money that sense but I’ve not got a lot of either 🤣🤣 |
