Creator of the LIPA - [[Aviano Air Base]] and ETAR - [[Ramstein Air Base]] customs sceneries (under development). My first flight simulator (believe it or not) was [https://support.google.com/earth/topic/4386088?hl=en&ref_topic=4363295 the flight sim on Google Earth], then I tried a MB-339PAN simulator in a fair and I acquired interest in aviation. Since then I started searching a free flight simulator to use on PC and perchance I found FG. When I have the chance, I am also a plane spotter of any type of aircraft I see. | ||
I would like to become a pilot one day, perhaps not as career but as a hobby; it doesn't matter if it is a [[787]], a [[F-16]] or a [[Cessna 172|C-172]], simply that flights! | |||

I'm using [[FlightGear]] since July 2012 (suggested by a friend) when I downloaded the 2.6 version. At first I have used only the [[Cessna 172P]], flying randomly at [[KSFO]].

When I understood how to install the aircrafts, haven't been able to stop using FG. In my opinion it is the best flight simulator ever made: it is free, it's open-source, it's realistic, constantly under development,... all the characteristics that a program like FG must have to be popular and very used. Recently I am involved in developing airports such as [[LIPA]], [[ETAR]], FJDG, [[LIPQ]], [[LIBV]] and also EGOD. | ||
