I'm dammasu, maybe you know me as I-UDDM on Discord or in the forum, that's also my callsign when I fly online. I'm a frequent flyer, mostly connected to multiplayer, mainly focused on general aviation planes (c172). I fly over northern Italy (LIPQ as base airport) or in Greenland (BGSF airport).

=== About me & why I am here ===
When I was 3yo I flew for the first time in a ULM (what we call "VDS - Veicolo da Diporto Sportivo" here in Italy). That was the trigger point... where everything begins. I love everything that's about flying, I still find a bit of magic when I see a plane taking-off and that's what pushes me forward to understand everything behind that. I studied in an aeronautical technical institute (aeronautical maintenance & logistic problems behind airplane transport was the main subject). Then I started my college adventure in Aerospace Engineering (now I'm in my third year).
=== My experience in flight simulation ===
My flight simulator experience started more or less ten years ago, with Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. It was an old one (even for that time), but I did not have a performing computer, and use an old simulator was my only choice.
When I started High School I bought a new PC and with them a complete Saitek Pro Flight Sistem (yoke and levers, plus rudders). Also, the system was upgraded.. I used both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) and FSX for a really long time.
After many years I abandoned the Microsoft Flight Simulator family, moving on to the Laminar Research ones. I used X-Plane 9 for a while during the transition from FS9 to FSX but I found it not at the same level as the Microsoft Simulators...
X-Plane 11 was different from my eyes and well... I still use it sometimes.
As PC now I have an assembled one, that gives me more freedom about what a Flight Sim needs.
== From Milan to America in a c172 ==
In April 2020 I-MATN (a colleague of mine from university, who is also passionate about flying) and I (I-UDDM) started a flight based on a fairly crazy idea: fly from Milan to America, crossing the Atlantic Ocean by a Cessna c172p. All the informations and some pictures are available [https://iuddm.wordpress.com/2020/05/06/from-milan-to-america-in-a-c172/ on my website].
At the beginning we we flew over continental Europe (LIML - LSZH - LFSN - LFAC), then we move up over the United Kingdom (EGCL - EGNT - EGEO). At this point of the travel we saw for the first time the Atlantic Ocean.
WIP...
=== Planning the travel ===
We have not planned every single piece in detail from the beginning: it was an ongoing adventure. To plan every single leg of our trip we started on [https://skyvector.com/ SkyVector] to find which airport can be good as arrival. The next step is create our flightplan. to do this, we used [https://www.simbrief.com/home/ SimBrief], we love them!
