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. I'm using FlightGear version 2.10.0.3 on a Windows 7 laptop and FlightGear version 3.2 on an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Recently I am involved in developing airports such as [[LIPA]], [[ETAR]], FJDG, [[LIPQ]], [[LIBV]], EGOD, [[LPLA]] and others. | I'm using [[FlightGear]] since July 2012 (suggested by a friend) when I downloaded the 2.6 version.

=== Me and the FlightGear community === | |||
Usually I don't fly during Autumn-Winter-Spring period due to school and studies (except on Saturdays and when there are holidays) whilst I do more [[ATC]] on the weekdays when I've got some free time. In Summer I fly and do ATC at least once a day. | |||
In compensation I use a lot the forums (espeially FGUK) and the Wiki where I enjoy reading and writing topics, sharing my experienes and learn new stuff. I'm also an active Google+ user, sharing my screenshots, recent news and other. | |||
I became member of the Main Administrators of the ''FlightGear Italia'' forum on January 2015. What a beautiful result. | |||
=== What I do on this Wiki === | |||
[[File:F-35B_STOVL.JPG|thumb|Landing vertically the [[F-35]]B.]] | |||
In this Wiki I take care of my articles and edit those where I see mistakes or I simply want to update/add the content. | |||
=== My lack of real flight experience === | |||
I never went on a flight (for now), only in an airport twice but I enjoy flying RC planes, RC helicopters and drones. | |||
