• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hmmmm.... given the nice little bell curve shape of the poll I'm beginning to wonder if 110% designing would have gotten a response too

:D :D Good point. :)

Hehe, yeah, that surprises me a little as well. It looks like it is mainly the real hardcore scenery designers that hang around here.

I thought I was slightly abnormal, but maybe it isn't that bad with me :D.

What is normal then? :rotfl: I feel great doing this! This is really a very addictive hobby! My flying skills could use some more practice instead of slewing around. :santahat:
I must add that I mainly fly to check the authenticity of my bases and that includes slewing but also flying, taking off and landing. :)

Yes, why not? This is a scenery design site, but it is still interesting to now how much time other designers spend on designing vs flying.
 
Recently got an relative set up with flight simulator a couple of months ago..and now I seen he has a joy stick and talking stuff I know nothing about about flying..he convinced me to get a joystick..its on the floor hooked up and ready to go..I wiil check it out more one day..might even learn how to fly! I am probably 100% desighning..somethi'n ain't right with that I guess :D

Before wedding: 80% scenery design, 10% flying
After wedding: 0,5% scenery design, 0,5% flying, 90% house works :rotfl:
Bye Claudio

Hm...flying? I'm spending more time with scenerydesign then I fly around. Usually it's only testing textures or new objects with a heli in slew mode.

Claudio,
what are you doing in the missing 9% of your time??

.... we prefer not to know!

Ciao, and happy new year

spent so much on designing that I have to read back all over again my PSS and PMDG manual to fly those planes..
 
You can fly them? :eek:
I never had the time to learn flying those payware-jets... :o :D
 
How much flying?

Hi, there

Well, I fly quite a lot, especially around my own scenery, as I love my scenery so much (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha). But being designing so absurdly time consuming, even if one just makes a textured a box for a specific location, one is almost certainly going to spend more time designing than flying.

I do fly a lot, though, so I'd say 70% designing to 30% flying, hour for hour.

Just started with scenery design so the balance is split fairly evenly, I always like to fly over new scenery rather than slew, you get a better perspective.
 
Yeah, sometimes I try flying after I've added something to FS but then I want to change something and I end up designing again. :rolleyes: I'm around 80% designer.
 
I'm flying in FSX, not slewing! (mostly I'm testing my planes :cool:)

20% flying/80% designing...
 
Hard to tell. I have been working on the flight dynamics of my aircraft trying to improve pitch stability and speed. So I've been fliying this little bird a fair bit of late. I like to launch from random places anywhere and explore the virtual world. Now that the aircraft is doing Mach 1.77, it gets really interesting. Take off at Toronto YYZ rwy 15 and two minutes later you are crossing Niagara Falls!!!

So 60% developing / 40% testing/flying may be a likely number.

I use to fly at least once a day, controllers on vatsim would want a minutes silence for my passengers when I would treat the runway like a trampoline and bounce off into the sunset.

I have to fly at least once every 4 months for the VA I'm in, but other than that, I don't fly at all, unless you consider a flyover to checkout my scenery, or test a simconnect application.
 
Yeah, I only fly about 20% of the time. Sometimes I get disgusted with a design I am working on, and then I go fly for some diversion.
