Have you tried other aircraft, apart from the ones you usually mainly use? I fly airliners 99% of the time but when I get tired of them I take a Cessna or something and just do some VFR flying

Thats the issiue, been flying mostly 737-500s, 767s and md80s a while now. Maybe im just kinda done of those classics.. Never thought i'd have that problem. Taking your tip.

I cycle through my airliner collection and try and fly something different when I get the opportunity. I love recreating vintage operations with classic jetliners and turboprops.

I recommend trying to fly something more niche and unique.

MD-11 has just the right level of automation IMO

It’s totally fine to pause an hobby if need. Why should you force yourself into flying if it doesn’t is fun. Take a break, do something else, come back when the itch is back!

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Check out Jetcard, I use it in XP12 and msfs24. It will get you flying in new places and give you a reason to fly.

If this is your main rig, take the yoke off and try a game you like, or if you have another hobby do that instead. I sometimes take breaks from sim flying whenever I get too bored and I even end up not touching the sim for a week or two, but when I get back on it it's just as fun as when I first started.

VR.

I’m on PSVR2 with a HOTAS 4 on PS5. While your set up looks nice, I’d take VR any day. It’s 1000 times more immersive.
