I am well into my 70’s and live in the North East, no honest it is nice up here. Between 1976 and 1980 I lived and worked in Hong Kong and learnt to fly and gained my PPL with the Hong Kong Flying Club on the C152. I would then, when the fancy took me, book a club aircraft [C152] and go for a spin. Very exciting playing with the big boys taking off and landing at Kai Tak.
Returning to the UK I flew a little but the costs were very expensive, either that or I earned less than I did in Hong Kong. My PPL expired and I did not bother to renew and have another medical.
I started to flight sim and I guess I have tried them all; MSFS Sublogic 1.0 up to MSFS FX SE, Flight Unlimited II, Pro Pilot by Sierra and many others I don’t even remember now.
With MSFS FX SE I had pounds and pounds worth of add ons, Orbx stuff, A2A Aircraft etc etc and when MS said they were stopping and not going to make the next update version I became very angry and all the money I had over the years sunk into MSFS FX SE. I deleted the lot and swore never to go near MS again. I got XPlane 11 plus Orbx stuff [True Earth UK etc etc] and whilst I agree XPlane is not really supported as well as it could be the flight model was good.
I get a little bored now with my single and lonely flying XPlane 11 even with FSE which I enjoy a little. Despite my thoughts of some years ago thinking of returning to MSFS if the PC will handle it and perhaps join event flights for the company.
Regards
Peter
