I think it's been close to 2 months since I've flown anything, well I did fly for an hour about a week and a half ago.  The longest I went though was from the con last year until january.

 I've been burned on computer games for the past 6 months, can't understand why though games addiction was one of my first addictions.......

About 3 weeks, maybe 4.
When we moved to Ohio from Colorado, everything was packed up and I had no ISP in Ohio.  As soon as we got here, our 2nd child was born (6 weeks early).  She was in the hospital for 9 days.

During the move last month, I didnt even have stinking phone service for 3 weeks...

But I'm not playing as often as I used to.  I used to spend a lot of my evening time, weekends, etc playing...I'm slowly prying myself away from the computer.  My ex gf said I was on the computer way too much and to a degree she is right.  (But she aint coming back! Mu ha ha ha)

I've loved Aces High because it plays well and despite not having the gee-whiz graphics of the boxed sims, it does have the immersion factor I like a lot.  I've played all these various Quake-3 Engine'd games lately...*boring*.  The Flight Sim games are just as bad.  Too arcadey, or little, if any, online play.  

[Kinda reminds me of Novalogic's F-22 games...good game, good online play.  There were some arena's where it was guns only, so the dweebery of 10 year olds, lifting off and firing 8 AMRAAMs at you, augering, then repeating the process was eliminated.  (Ooooh I used to hate that...I'm up there jinking 16 missiles, one gets me, and the kid screams what an Ace he is.  Nevermind he couldnt land the thing....) ]

 I haven't bothered with too many sims as of late.  Aces High fills the ACM fix I have, even though I do miss those F22 days with guns only  :)

ROTFLOL!

I still have that sim in the box, played it for a short time, never knew it had online play.

Whats amazing is I have only bought one sim since AH went open beta, that being MOH.  HTC has saved me money more ways than one.

missed 15 - 19: 5 months.

I've only logged 7 hours in 27, 28 and 29, with none in 27.

I think I need a big box of 17s to attack to get me excited again.

Oh, and some skill, which seems to have completely evaporated this year.

About 3 months:- Mid-march until 24th May this year.
Due to a combination of issues: my machine was dead and I was sent to California to work before I had chance to  fix it.

1 year here

Signed up a long time ago and didn't like it much, was before they changed FM's. And then came back when 1.09 came out and having a blast. It would figure that I have been extremely busy and only able to fly 1 or 2 times a week.

1.5 months spent on the beach, account was open though.

This summer I canceled it as I'm not sure if I'll continue or not after the vacation.

I played regularily for the beta testing.

Since then Generally I've played the weekend after each release, but don't touch it much other than that.

I'm waiting for HTC to add something else to do, as I've had my fill of dogfighting.

DUDES!

Don't even BRING THIS UP.

I went 3 months when my stick broke. Active account and everything.

I'm on my third month again, due to exam pressure. Exams won't be over until June 28th (hopefully), s no AH til then. Ugh.

Yeah, I bet that's a pretty normal transition for alot of players, is for me.

Oh... about 2 days of my own choosing.  Due to circumstances out of my control (Mil deployment) about 3 months.  If you count AW, the longest I've gone without flying online since 1993 (of my own choosing) is 8  or 9 days.

Still paying, cannot tell you the last time I played tho (1.09 is on my comp).  No real reason for not playing except severe online time restrictions.


edit: whoops...thought it might be higher than 1.09, but I am sure I am way behind

 What Fury said!  Over the last four to six  months I have accumulated a total air time that probably adds up to a single digits.  Although I was able to get online last Friday for an hour or two in the TOD.  Other than that I have next to no time for online "flying" right now :(
