My memory isn't going well. Don't know why I had forgot this story from irl and flight Sims
As I told you before I had Microsoft flight some 2007 or 2008
I wrote about my purchase on a danish forums
One of my on line friend Steve(don't know if that was his real name or an alias) made not only a comment about it, he even send me a pm and asked me if I want to play Flight Sim on-line with him as a co-pilot
Wrote back that I'm really new to this have just learn how to use my keyboard
that's a start he replied, I'll guide you through the game play
When he wrote that, my first was he's a real hard-core flight Sim player.
I joined his network(forgot what it's called.)
Let's start with some easy flying, let us fly from Copenhagen to Billund with a little commercial plane(can't remember which)
The flight toke about 50 minutes and during the flight he told me what to do and what the saying from control-tower meant a.s.o
a little week late I got an pm from him, were he asked my if I had the guts to try a long flight
Of course I replied
He replied before we start I want you to fix coffee, the or chocolate, water and make Sim sandwiches, ´cause it's going to be long flight
I did as he said I should
Made Sim coffee and had some cola and a few sandwiches
The flight was from London to New York in a 747
During our flight we had a lot of chit chat
I asked him what he did for a living
Nothing special- I'm airline pilot flying with SAS
My response?
He was really a pilot I met him about 4-6 month later.
I remember my thought about that. I thought that a real life pilot that flew for real had no time or was not interested in flight Sims.
I was wrong.
So that's my story- I haven't seen or heard from Steve since middle of 2010
