Well, 707 is not the only one browsing the forums while simming. My other activities while doing flight simulator are studying, cleaning my room from time to time, MSN or sometimes I'm even sleeping.

Hi William,
When I'm flying one of my round-the-world legs in full-screen mode, I use VPN to browse the web via the FS kneeboard. It's less functional than a regular browser but it's still good to visit Airliners.net, go through the latest pics and post comments in the different forums

Hey guys why don't you just increase the simulation rate?

When I minimise my FS screen, it automatically pauses, therefore meaning I can't fly while doing anything else on my computer.

If you go into the settings you can turn off the 'pause when minimised' feature - quite handy.

I sim on my laptop, watch tv (or movie) on my desktop, and browse the net on my laptop from work.

AIRLINERS.NET CREW CHAT OPERATOR
things i do while flying long hauls:
watch TV
forum browse
chat/IM
do normal life things (aka eat, sleep, go out...)
sometimes i even play solitare (cant really play anything else much, FS eats up too much).
Oh yeah, i do mean sleep BTW, i've done 10/12 hour FS flights (KATL-FACT, KATL-RJAA recently). Takeoff, get to altitude, wait for ATC change over, do the change over trick... go to bed... wake up, check how flight is doing, contact ATC, descend, land... easy

And what would the change over trick be?
