Hi everyone,
I’m Manuel, in game I go by the name of Sir_Coleslaw. My first contact with simulator flying was in 1991, when my father brought the DOS game MIG29 Fulcrum home. Shortly after that, he bought a joystick and the next DOS game, which was TFX: Tactical Fighter Experiment. Since my father had trained as an aircraft mechanic himself, he wanted me to follow a similar path and become a pilot. That’s why many more flight simulators were added. Although I never became a pilot, today I am as close to aviation as you can get without a pilot’s license, as an employee of Deutsche Flugsicherung, the German air traffic control authority. That is also currently my main reason for getting back into the simulator world, because I find many of the terms and systems there that I come across in my daily work.
Cheers!

Hello all!
Not new to sims at all, been flying sims for the better part of 2 decades. My first Microsoft based sim was FS2000. But I’ve finally come back to the Microsoft brand of sims after leaving FSX behind for P3D in 2016. I started developing firefighting aircraft mods, repaints, and related conversions/updates in P3D for aircraft since then really. The firefighting aspect that was added to MSFS 2024 is largely what brought me back on top of the advancement of the sim.
Looking forward to bringing over my aerial firefighting mod ability and knowledge from my small development community and hopefully spreading it more into this sim as well.

Hi All
I’m 61 but it makes me feel about 12 years old to say my wife bought me an Xbox for Christmas 
(expressly to meet a briefly mentioned interest in MSFS 3024) .
My interest in simming comes from my former occupation as a Royal Air Force Avionic Engineering Technician assimilated to work on Synthetic Trainers (Jaguar Flight Simulator) for a couple of years. I still find sims fascinating.
That having been said, I’m not particularly coordinated, so I imagine I will spend quite a lot of time crashing / banging out (if past experience is anything to go by )

Hi, you can call me: Cap.
I am playing Microsoft Flight Simulator on: PC/Steam
I want to try flight simulation because: I want to brush up on fundamental skills required to fly.
I’m most interested in learning about dreaded power-off 180s in Microsoft Flight Simulator. LOL
