FS-2004 over here.

Preferred airliners are PMDG-747 and Level-D 767. flight-1 ATR-72 also being a top package. 737-800NG by PMDG also sometijmes in use.

No virtual airline or online flying. But I use online weather updates.

I plan flights exclusively between german airports, because I have all four parts of the German Airports series, giving me around 30 detailed Airports, half of them in almost photorealistic quality. the latest package, GA-2, looks breathtaking real. Airport scneeires really make a difference for me, taxiing, departing and landing at a well-modelled, realstic place with traffic adds so much to atmosphere and immersion.

Traffic 2005, Flight Sim Commander 7, Flight Environment, Ground Environment, FS Global 2005, Ultimate Terrain USA, Canada, Europe all are in use. Locations outside Germany I frequently visit are Vienna LOWW, Heathrow EGLL and Paris LFPG, all of which are also represented by special scenery.

I plan all airliner action in that way that between end of climb and start of descende at best 20 minutes pass. That makes some unrealistic flightplans, I know, even more so for a 747 or 767, but I do not see the point in sitting at the monitor for 6 hours and supervising the plane flying itself over open water. My flights, including planning and setting up, last for 60-90 minutes, normally.

i also use the Piper Cheyenne, the Realair SF260, the Realair Spitfire, a Cessna Cardinal, and since short time a Jayhawk helicopter and a wonderful F-5E, doing most flying with these in the Alps.

I also use a dedicated sailplane simulator, "Condor". But not that often - i want to press buttons, and sailplanes are a bit short on opportunities for that.

I did two trips around the world over the years, in short hops of 1-2 hours in mean. Most major hubs in america and Asia I have visited, and some famous places like Lukla as well.

I have - since many years - the tick to not jump around, but to leave from the place where I landed last. If I feel I want to take off from a given location next time, first I virtually get there.

Combat flying I have lost interest in almost completely. No more Falcon, Longbow 2 or IL-2.
