AF, I remember seeing your stream months and months ago and hoped one day you'd make the leap over to our network, simply because you seemed to love simulation so much, it was hard to imagine that you wouldn't enjoy including this in your overall sim experience. I hope to watch the replay and see how it all went
I'll be getting a twitch thread going here soon with a master list of 'known streamers' (ie, ppl who routinely stream their flights on twitch). It's a great learning tool for existing users and other potential users who are sitting on the fence wondering if this is for them.
Welcome, and enjoy! Trust me, there's a lot of fun to be had here on the network. I think a lot of people get caught up in how complex the airspace and procedures can be (and deep in the heart of the airspace around LAX, it really is a hot mess). As you move further out, though, things get simpler and there's room for fun. Just the other night, Ty and I were doing formation gliding out of 1L8 (inspired by Bruno V's gliding videos on YT which I posted a while back) on PE and we had an absolute blast.
All sorts of people do all sorts of flying in the national airspace system...there's no reason you can't do it here, too. Take your time, enjoy the airspace and bite off just enough that's a challenge, but not a slaughter. If you can swing that, I think you'll love it here.
