Hello,
Well the topic title says it all. Where are you now, if you are flying in the flight simulator world?
I'm currently at FL370, heading 120, approaching EYZEL (NE of the Turks and Caicos Islands) waypoint en route from IAD to SXM flying a United Airlines 777 on a cruise ship charter flight.
I've just caught up with Jetblue 821 flying from JFK to SDQ.

I have not flown for over a week, I am still at my last destination, which was OVB. I've been looking for another freeware airport in Russia to fly to, but I cannot find one that I want to fly to that is in a reasonable area. My plans now are to fly to ALA, which will give me a good jumping point back into Russia to continue my Russian journey. Before I make this next flight, I need to install the scenery for ALA and also verify my AI traffic files to see if I have everything that operates into ALA installed. It might still be a few days until I fly...or longer if my current obsession with Test Drive Unlimited 2 on the PS3 doesn't let up.

Hmmm, um, that flight did not go so well. MAJOR fuel leak (As I was eating dinner) And by the time I looked up I had no engines and was in a stall. Flat stall so could not recover At least the beer was drunk lol

I use FS Passengers. Adds a little realism to it when there is a problem to cope with once in a while.
With the stall, yea, flat spin I guess, that I was not spinning. I was flat, unable to turn or do anything really. Could not get any speed up at all to get out of it.
