So I made it to 1,000 hours in the Connie. This flight was from Eduardo Gomes Intl (SBEG) to Marechal Cunha Machado Intl (SBSL). We had a good flight with a few miles of rough weather. My career hours are off from my airframe hours due to making some cargo training flights early on. I have 8.5 million passenger miles under my belt at this time.
This is my second set of engines. However, the second set of engines are not lasting as long as my first set which went from excellent - good at 215 hours and from good - fair at 370 hours. The second set of engines went from excellent - good at 115 hours and good - fair at 220 hours. I know the cause of this and will be working towards making them last as long as possible from here on out.
I am still enjoying this plane and look forward to many more hours in her.
Thank you Scott and Team for many enjoyable miles.
Cheers
Roger

Thanks Tomas . That question just cost me the last three hoursTomas Linnet wrote:

You got me curious too so I fired up FSX (all my planes except Spit are in FSX with P51, Connie & Comanche also in P3Dv4) knowing it would take some time sense I cannot just switch aircraft without an immediate CTD. The good news about a CTD is I can fire FSX right back up as I don't have to wait for the sim to shut down. However, only the Connie and B17 were working. Sim could not read the data file for the rest of the planes. Long story but the jest is that SimConnect was dorked up and once fixed sim could read data files again.
Anyways, here are my hours by plane.
Comanche 250 - 137
B377 - 0 (couldn't afford not to buy it when it was on sale but have not turned an engine yet. Then I moved to P3Dv4)
Constellation - 1000
Spitfire Ia - 3
Spitfire IIa - 23
Spitfire IIb - 2
Texan - 4
P40 AVG - 0
P40B - 0
P40C - 136
P40 Tomahawk - 139
P51 Civ - 426
B17G - 1204
These hours do not count the many many hours lost after 4-7 hour flights and then crash into an invisible object or have FSX crash with an OOM at end of flight.
So, what about your hours Sir?
Cheers
Roger

Ah, nice spread sheet. I should do something like that. I don't know how I missed that thread either.
Well done on your 1000 hours, congrats.

hehe, I made the spread sheet so I can track my hours...I took I don't know how long to make it. 3 hours would be a realistic guess. I wish started recording my hours when I first got into flight simulation 28-29 years ago, that would have been great. I also regret I never made a sheet to keep track of every individual aircraft, you a maintenance log showing preventive maintenance, failures, routes, fuel burn etc. I guess real aircraft owners do that For me it adds another level of geekiness, and lets face it...I'm a geek and proud of it! #avgeek

Re: 1,000 Hour Milestone - L049
Congratulations on the 1000 hour mark
I must be a stat geek with a spread sheet right along with you guys. Keeps track of the hours, prop vs jet, how many props, tail dragger vs trike gear, color coded as to developer, payware vs freeware etc. One reason I started it was to see if there was a pattern as to what type of aircraft I leaned towards for most of my flying. Helps me decide if something I'm thinking about buying or downloading is an aircraft I'm going to spend much time in. It's got all the aircraft & hours I've logged in MSFS/P3D going back 16.5 years.

Re: 1,000 Hour Milestone - L049
Thanks for the well-wishes everyone.
I have not yet started a log-book spreadsheet. I have always threaten to do so but have not yet. I do track my maintenance of each aircraft that has a maintenance hanger. It was fun to see just how the B-17 did with the first 1200 hours. I did not start tracking it until I around 250 hours so all repairs early on are missing.
I may just create a log book soon.
Cheers
Roger
