Hi everyone,
My name is Florian, I'm 36 years old and I live in Hamburg/Germany
Primarily I'm a gamer, enjoying most genres from old-school Point-and-Click Adventure Games to 100+ hour long RPGs.
I got my first taste of flight-simming with Flight Unlimited back in 1995, trying out most MSFS titles since then and I got more serious during the FS 2004/FS X days. After a (for me) ridiculous amount of money spent on Payware add-ons I abandoned the whole genre a number of years ago, personally not seeing it to be going much of anywhere.
In early 2020 I was missing flight-simming quite a bit and I was toying with the idea of picking up a copy of X-Plane 11, ultimately deciding against it and to wait for MSFS 2020. I was not disappointed. While the platform still has, to this day, quite a few issues, I immediately saw the potential, especially for VFR flying, and for the first time, for better or worse, a chance for some amount of mass-market appeal.
I've had the sim installed since release, flying whenever I wasn't playing something else and recently I've been spending most of my time in the sim. Even spending quite a bit of money a few weeks ago on a Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, which I'm thoroughly enjoying.
I've joined VirtualFlight.Online about two weeks ago. It's no secret that I have almost no contact with other people in my day-to-day life, so this whole group thing is very new (and a bit scary) to me but I've enjoyed my first two group-flights, even talking in the voice channel a bit during the second and as long as you'll have me I'm looking forward to flying a lot more with all of you!
