Yes, a simmer of sorts, although I don't have a sim at home but do go over every week to this one http://www.flightdeckexperience.co.uk/. Over the last 14 months I think I must have built up a few hundred hours on the 737-800 so I roughly know what I am doing.

I use navigraph which is pretty good for what you get, so about EUR 60 a year for all updated charts worldwide, and based on the Lido charts. Obvioulsy it is not rated for real world flying, but it is as good as you can get without having a very expenisve subscription to the commerical charts.

When I started I used the Jeppesen charts but they are too expensive for me to buy so I was only using out of date ones I found online. Initially I wasn't a fan of the Lido charts but I have got used to them.
I have been using Navigraph for years I now keep Lido on my tablet when I flight sim. I will not say how many hours I have clocked up over the years. But its all good fun and a good learning curve.

Do you get involved with world flight I have friends that run Simfest, 737-800 and now an 744.
