Seeing as this instance and community is brand new, I’m very curious how everyone here flies their digital planes.

Personally, I love flying on Vatsim. Usually I grab the Fenix A320.
Right now I’m flying some different planes, hoping that the Fenix V2 update drops soon… I need that extra performance to not fly at less than 20fps constantly!
Also flying the CRJ, AN225 and ATR. Might also do some VFR on Vatsim soon.

But I’d love to hear how you guys fly.

    I mostly fly VFR in the Cessna 172 by WB-Sim. Hoping that it will benifit my real life pilot training. Although I noticed that flying a real Cessna is easier than the sim. Maybe because you have more sensations and a better feeling for navigation, or I am just bad at sim flying. xD

    I love VFR bush trips in VR. Flying the Kodiak 100 in PNG, navigating the trees and landing on challenging runways. Or flying the Beaver in Canada. Especially with the VFR charts in Navigraph 8.

    I’ve been flying in sims on and off for 20 years (and IRL, but that got too expensive after I got my PPL) and I enjoy doing short technical IFR navigation. I used to have a physical radio+nav controller built with arduino (xplane has an open api that made it very easy to DIY controllers) and enjoyed building gear for it quite a bit.

    Just getting back into after not touching it for a while it but at the moment mostly just flying ultralights and GA in VFR.
