It will only take a few sit downs of watching vintage war bird film to get you itching to log in a fly. I enjoy the game, but I enjoy it because I love war birds. In my free time spent at a computer, if I am not playing the game I am downloading films, flight manuals, pictures, god knows what... you name it... If it has to do with a war bird I will pick through it. When I get tired of the game, i do that, when I get tired of doing that, I go play for a bit.
I take alot of mini breaks now 2-3 days, 5 days, a week... When before I would play for 6-8 months on end and then get fed up/burnt out and not come back for a couple months. I think i've found a way to keep everything freash and fun and interesting. Also I have a good bunch of retarded squadies to fly with. That always helps.
