How many hours do you play SH3?

[GoldenRivet]

man... i hate to admit it but they will take guys right now who barely meet minimum flight experience for commercial pilots license!

when i first went to the airlines you had to have like 1500 hours of flight time and about 500 hours in multi engine aircraft.

I taught flying lessons for 4 1/2 years to get to that point.

so yes... IL2 pretty much qualifies you at this point. :rotfl:

You're scaring me, GoldenRivet... I know that nowadays, quality and customer service isn't what it used to be...but piloting skills are pretty much essential if you're going to pilot something, I thought.

But maybe I'm old-fashioned. Let's end this line of talk. It's not exactly on topic, anyway...

Oh, and I completely forgot the topic.:rotfl:

I haven't played SH3 for real in more than two years. I've been back in my own place with my own computer for four months, but I spend all my time either testing or doing research. I load it up and look at it a lot, though.

I am retired and my mate still works so I play GWX about 3-4 hours a day. I also research the web and the forum for stuff that may be of interest to the forum. If I find something of interest I add it to my below site. This usually takes 3-4 hours per day to maintain.

I really need to get a new life. At this point the forum and GWX is all I do....

How times change. When my dad first went to work for United, in 1952, he had a pilot's license. That's it. He had gotten that because he and one of his brothers wanted to start a trucking company from Dallas to Mexico City, and they wanted to fly down there to meet the trucks

My dad said his brother was the better natural pilot, but never got his license because he was afraid to go up solo. Their plans didn't pan out, and my dad was left with the license and nothing else. Then my grandmother showed him an ad in a Dallas newspaper which basically said "If you can fly and can make your way to Denver we'll give you all the tests and pay your way home." My dad did that, and they hired him. After training his first gig was flying DC-3s from Los Angeles to San Francisco, with several stops in between.

not to steer this poor thread in the wrong direction.

but on a regional level its quickly coming to that point.

The time off affords me the ability to persue hobbies.

SH3 is just oen of the things i have spent a lot of time with the past few weeks, also i have organized a crawfish boil which i will be hosting in a couple of days, and i'll be attending an air show this weekend. lots of fun, but it seems no matter what im doing i feel the need to take my sub out in the atlantic and face the challenges out there

Maybe 2-4; including load times, 3-5. Enough for a patrol every couple of weeks or so. Man, 10-15 hours a week must be pretty sweet! Too much real life for me to do that!
