I just love polls!

I spend most of the time in FSX (shame on me). Mainly because there weren´t too much alternatives until I came to X-Plane etc.

 

Not an easy question since there are quite a lot of sims over the years since 1990. Thats why I´m focusing on newer ones.

IL2 mostly for me. Me and a mate used to play on LAN loads. It was easy to play with semi sim fans, usually a nice coop. No such luck with DCS though..too complex for the useless buggers :D

In what time frame? If you're talking over the past year, then DCS:A-10C with a few hundred hours.

 

If your talking since you started flying sims, then it'd be Falcon 4 (all flavours) with 3,327 hours as of 2 years ago when I stopped flying F4.

Impressive numbers, I can´t even guess how long i´ve been in the air. :)

 

It also seems that Microsofts Flight sims are some kind of training that leads to the real sims. Best thing about it is that you learn how different aircraft fly and then you know where to go. Like primary school.

FALCON family, and it is almost provocatively missing from the list !

 

Eight replies, and no one mentions it. No offense but, a little respect to the pioneer wouldn't harm ! :(

MicroProse Gunship 2000, Spectrum Holobyte Falcon 3.0, Jane's Longbow, DID EF2000 and F-22 (incl TAW). Hard to say but I think I spent around the same amount of time in all of those.

 

DCS A-10C is probably catching up very fast though and will certainly surpass them all.

There are a lot of sims missing from the list, Janes sims, Nova logic. Those games are old so maybe that's why they aren't on the list. If he added everything the list would be like 40 games long.

For the last time it's DCS: A-10C that takes the first spot for number of hours, over all my flying time it's IL2 though. Played that religiously ever since it's release until DCS:BS came around. Started my sim-flying on Amiga Fighting Falcon, then Chuck Yeager's Air Combat and EF2000 on PC. There's sooo many I've played that aren't on the list though, so hard to mention all of them.

I'm not exactly sure which was my first simulation, but one of them were Flanker 1.0 and from Microprose the F-15E Strike Eagle III, Jane's F-15E Strike Eagle, Jane's USAF, Microprose F-14 Tomcat Fleet Defender, then later Flanker 2.0 and Lock On, DiD EF 2000, Jane's F-18E Superhornet, Falcon 4.0, Falcon 4 AF and now DCS A-10C. There were also some noname games.

I must boycott this poll due to lack of FALCON 4.

 

 

Me too... more than 2.000 flight hours on the Viper... and not even one of the versions ( Falcon 4.0, Falcon 4.0 Allied Force, Open Falconb, Free Falcon, ..) available in this list :music_whistling:

 

But still about 10 hours in A-10 :joystick:

DCS F-16C Blk. 40/42 :helpsmilie:

MS Combat Flight Sim.

 

Much time wasted on that game. A few times I remember hearing the birds chirping and thinking &%$! I better get to bed.
