How come I can't get bored?

Post by reflected »

I don't understand this. Whenever I have a little time to spare, I jump into my B-17G parked near the hangars at Bassingbourn. Real time, Real weather. I check all the liquids, start the engines, taxi to the runway, do a run-up, then take off. I climb above 20,000 feet, set up the C-1 autopilot, then head to a German/ Dutch/ French city listening to those radio tunes. I drop my bombs, return home, land, park her, do a post-flight check for damages.

It all should be very boring and repetitive. Yet I can't seem to get enough of it... why? I WANT MY LIFE BACK! :mrgreen:

Hey there reflected, I know how you feel. Very addictive isn't it :lol: I have a few of the other A2A aircraft but always find myself back in the seat of the B-17 :wink:

Keep smiling

There is professional help out there to be found for folks like you but the relapse rate is very high. :wink:
Take care, Brett

Hmmm,

if only we could merge the A2A B17 and other ww2 birds with IL-2 BoS, I would give you additional reasons to stay even more proficient in flying her :-)
Use your flight simulators with a well defined purpose...

Don't expect them to be "perfect" or to fully cover all aspects of simulated flight...

Try to enjoy it instead of stressing... ( in few words - don't be like me ... )
