If you were to factor a little bit for exaggeration, sectors 'simmed' in
autopilot while doing something else, etc it's not too peculiar.


VATSIM keeps track of the exact number of hours spent simming online. I
have
just over 735 hours of that in exactly one year. Hours spent offline are
not
counted.


So you sit there in front of the PC the whole time and don't wander off to
other things during the boring bits?

Sh#t you're keen....

Yes. Most flights are 2 hours or less, so there are no boring bits.

But you're your own co-pilot. That has to be as boring as hell for both of
you.

Actually, if you are flying an aircraft that requires two pilots, flying alone
keeps you exceptionally busy. It can become a bit nerve-wracking during
critical phases of flight.
