Any other winter only pilots?

[Pickle72]

Anyone else do this to themselves? I usually dust off the Thrustmaster when the weather turns for the worse. Which means I must re-learn all the systems in all my modules all over again. By the time I get a couple modules figured out, the weather turns nice and I’m back outside until next winter. To add to this frustration, I just got a Quest 2! So now I’m testing, and testing and testing to get the best balance of performance and visuals. LOL! I do enjoy it though. Honest.

To triple my frustrations, I have the most time in the Mirage. Good grief! It’s been changed a lot! That is a good thing, I’m not complaining but, wow!

There must be easier hobbies. Not the Iron Man in training (ok, half IM) I’m also currently doing, or the RC glider (F3k) practice. But come on?!?!?

• Drop those other hobbies
• Close the shutters during summertime
• Optional: Occasionally call your wife and kids from the attic/basement (wherever your mancave is located)

and enjoy DCS all year.

 

There, solved it for you 

 

 

 

By the way, this thread should be renamed: "1st world problems"

Flying (RL) and cycling are summer hobbies, deer stalking and indoor gym are winter hobbies.  DCS is a 24/7, 365 hobby.

I cant have a permanent set up due to something called "a family" and some stupid tradition that seems to have become established about them sharing the living room. Should have paid more attention at school and got a bigger house but too late now. As such Im an expert in starting up things but thats about it.

Winter flying is a must.  Smooth air!  Gotta love it!

I should put more effort into making it a 365 day hobby. but I work on computers all day long so when its nice I find it extremely hard to sit indoors.

And yes, 1st world problems

I'm back

I've actually been kicking MSFS  around the last month or so. I had the OG version and the next couple builds way back in the day and never bothered with it since. Really cool to see how far we have come.

But now I'm back here and all my key binds are gone. Sooo I need to pick a plane, bind it up and fly it. I have the most time in the Mirage so naturally I'm going to give the f-16 a try this time.
