So what time do you fly in fs2004?

[Sam Breese]

Thankyou everyone for your great ideas for island hopping but I have 2 more questions to ask

1. Do you fly live time in fs2004 or what ever time you want?
2. How do you make your own repaint for the default DC-3?

Thanks for your help. Hope the weather holds, gliding tommorow

I usually fly in real time.

get FS Repaint. http://www.abacuspub.com/fsd/catalog/s531.htm

I also usually flied in real time... till i realized I had almost double night flying hours and then started setting my times to vary (balance) it.

I would also recommend FS Repaint... if you want to go beyond that a good place to start is...

I fly real time if the flight is in the USA (because I live here). I try to fly real time also when abroad but it's not always possible or realistic.

Usually real time for me

[Sam Breese]

well i live in the England and usually fly in real time but I like flying in the caribbean because of the island hopping but when it is 8:00 here
in England it's around 3:00am at the carribean. It seems somewhat unrealistic but never mind.

I usually fly about dawn or dusk, I love this time especially during approach, so I set my departure time to land at time giving this great mix of
artificial and daylight.

I only fly real time and real weather although I will normally add about 10 minutes to the time so I have time to dl from jeppesen, make
my flight plan, start up FsP or any other programs in the sim I need, that way I am within a couple of minutes + or - the actual time once I
start the sim.

I download real weather but I fly in "fake" time thou due to my free time hours. If I had to rely on them I would be flying on the dark every night
since I got home like 0 am.
In my days off if I am not arrested with my girlfriend I fly in real time.
But always, always real weather which is the most important thing I guess

I fly in the future, with my year set up around 2 to 3 years from now. And usually try to do sunrise/sunset flights but with real world weather.

[olseric]

I fly with real time.

As for painting, I use Adobe Photoshop.

[vaccaro]

I used to fly real time but then decided not to do that as I have noticed that I was becoming an owl :p. But I always fly in real weather.

I have never painted te default a/c of MSFS but I prefer flying my own re-paints (of freeware a/c like Kittyhawk, iFDG, etc..) and I use Paint
Shop Pro.

Oops yes for painting PSP is my weapon of choice.

That's is really interesting. But why is that?

[SWAFO]

I always fly real time, and on real time schedules (from Southwest.com). Usually, I can't time my flight to coincide PRECISELY with the
real world flight though, so I'll just take the real world flight time, and use that for my planning purposes (one reason I LOVE the old GMT
time model in FSP, and still use it).
