Looking to fly with just a couple old guys like me

I was an everyday pilot for years. But was out and about with life. Came back and bought the new MSFS and a complete Hotas set up. I forgot a lot so I am just dinking around struggling to get where I was when using my Garmin and instruments. If any of you are wanting to join me or let me join them you can contact me by DM in discord Blackdogs2#4997 Please refer to this topic when you contact me so I know why you are contacting me, Thanks - Rubber side down

If i were you I’d simply take a look at the Community Events calensar, there’s lots of group flights you can join.

Good morning lovtfly. Welcome to MSFS. I’m on XBox s. I’ve used Flight sims since MS 95. Former student pilot. My hanger consists of a320 Airbus, Honda HJet, XCub and F-18 Hornet.
I’m retired, so am on most days! I’m also in the Co- Pilot Program.
Let me know if I can assist you with anything.

ty Sir. I would be interested. I live in Arizona and yes I still work (last daughter in college you know). I am usually home everyday about 3pm. on my days off I get on between 4-6 am same for the weekends. I love bush flying. My planes are the beech baron 58, cesna 172/ caravan, king air, and some regional planes. if that works for you, though I am flexable.

Welcome back!

I am jello and I am one of em younger pilots

To quote my generation.

ā€œSup oldieā€

I don“t play anything multiplayer, but we could chat about aviation and exchange pictures and screenshots :slight_smile:

I’m an ā€œElder Millennialā€ and would fly with ya any day! I’m in Colorado and in the sim I do a lot of mountain flying, bush, and the occasional island hop tour. I ā€œworkā€ from home most days and spend A LOT of time in the sim lately. (West USA server) I Spend most my time in the Cessna 182T, Cirrus sr22, Aviat Husky, as that’s what the AV school up here uses. But plenty of time in all the other aircraft as well!

Can’t find you in discord under your name !!

Scott

Your discord is setup to only allow messages from ā€œfriendsā€. You won’t meet many new people this way. From another ā€œold guyā€ who flies constantly in Central time zone, that tried to message you in discord.

Welcome to MSFS OCEANS. I’m on XboxS. Am retired. Flown Sims since FS95.

There ā€œwillā€ be something internal to FS2020 in the future. They had multi player in FSX, and it is on the plans to happen. But when??

I’m a silver surfer in the UK. Used Flisims since way back., all kinds of planes an ā€˜copters. Progressed to MSFS2020 in last year or two. Multiplayed in previous ā€˜FSX’ Flisim and do so now in MS20 with several buddies in formation, with headset comms on Discord. Baffled as to how difficult it is to find new friends on this platform, both in MS20 and in Discord itself. I was invited by a.n.other and haven’t been able to understand how to invite others myself! I often dogfight Spitfires (ā€˜Spit’ on nameplates) with other random pilots around EGSU Duxford and EGLC London City , UK. My aircraft nameplate shows as ’ joedoh119’ in the game while my Discord handle is joedoh11945#8380. Not being highly tech, I hope someone comes up with an answer after 2 years on.

Welcome JoeDo, welcome to MSFS. My name is Rich. I’m on XBox s. Live in Alaska. Retired, so on most days. I’m a Co Pilot. Would love to assist you if you like. a320 Airbus, Honda Hjet, F-18 Hornet. Haven’t gotten the Spitfire yet.

Welcome all… there’s a bunch of us old pilots on here… one thing in common… we all love to fly!
Who says there’s no old bold pilots?

I’m a private pilot with an instrument rating. I decided to get my real pilot license because of flight simulator. With the price of 100LL (Low lead) a buck higher a gallon than jet A …my simulator gets a lot more hours than my 07 Skylane!

We should have more activities together. I wish someone would come up with a program add on where we could do things like flour bombing contests, LIVE precision landing events… maybe even some poker runs.
Oh… for those of you who don’t know what a poker run is: First we ā€œchip inā€ā€¦cash for charity’s. Then we fly to different airports and get 1 playing card at each. At the end of the day…the winning hand buys dinner and gets all the pot money to donate to there favorite charity.
Sometimes motorcycles join in… but i think that’s going to be a little out of MSFS’s capabilities…

Old folks stuff…

Yeah lets do it. Sorry for the late reply. Been so busy lost my mind. Ive got to figure out why people can not find me in discord. I changed some settings because of certain peoples maturity level and disrespect. Im a chill old guy and love to fly like you. I fly on line just to relieve the stress. Drama is a killer for me. Not much for politics and religion but do vote and go to church but leave that stuff outside of flying. That stuff doesnt need to be public. Thats why they call it private choices and opinions. Hit me up if you are down. I live in Arizone below the Grand Canyon. I time never changes. I can look you up in discord if you give your name and hash tag?

Whats up cup. I am in the sim by the name of luvtfly22 if you ever want to look me up.

Alright , so my name in discord is Scott-MDA#1250

Scott

Sounds brother. I usually get on about 330ish pm after work Arizona time. Ill look for you then. If not then whenever. Arisona does not have day light savings fyi.
