andyw248 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Wow, we have crossed the 50% mark now... didn't know we are such an old bunch 1
unreasonable Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I protest the lack of categories for 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70+. 72 years young here! Way to go! Gives me hope at a ripe old 58. Mind you I have aged a year in the last ten days or so...
Nil Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 This poll should've been one of the first poll they themselves asked us, then we wouldn't have been be so cranky lately, since everyone know that us 40+ are really cranky.. and offended by forced tutorials and unlocks :D (and food that need to be chewed, and movies that are in color..)(BTW I noticed I were just 39 at the original ROF poll) 1
sallee Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Wow, we have crossed the 50% mark now... didn't know we are such an old bunch The people who are under 40 have better things to do than vote in polls like this! Once I've finished my wordsearch and read the obituaries, I'm at a loose end.
wuffman Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I protest the lack of categories for 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70+. 72 years young here! Finally, a role model !

Once I've finished my wordsearch and read the obituaries, I'm at a loose end. Well sometimes I spice it up by forgetting where I put my reading glasses TBH. 1
Thad Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 It's Not hard to imagine Why the majority is over forty, a lot of us grew up watching reruns of old war movies. I still vividly remember watching tora tora tora and the Blue Max. Salutations, 67 years old here. Watched my copy of Tora Tora Tora again yesterday.
Thad Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Salutations, I don't think it has been mentioned but one of the attractions of flight simulations, like IL2, is the lack of reliance on quick twitch reflexes for in game success. Oh, skill is still required and involved but our reflexes don't play a 'major role' in our mission successes or failures. At 67, I like and prefer the slower pace of realistic flight simulations. The excitement and rush of air combat remains but it is not caused by a continuous wave after wave after wave of ever more dangerous opponents and how fast I can aim and press a fire button.
XQ_Lothar29 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 38 Years Old. and Flight RoF and BoS.. Nice Poll
=362nd_FS=Hiromachi Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Oh damn, that time is passing so fast. I've almost reached another category.
Lusekofte Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Man...you need to have 50+ and 60+ , you will be surprised by how old people are
Nocke Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Indeed. I'd estimate you got 4 categories for the youngest 40%, and 1 for the rest...
claw Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Man...you need to have 50+ and 60+ , you will be surprised by how old people are I'm so old I can remember when I still had a short term memory
hames123 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 15 years of age in April. Also Tora Tora Tora is a great movie, all that footage of Zeros attacking the B-17s 1
Retnek Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Looking at my kids and their friends the PC / Laptop today for the most is just as attractive as the typewriter became when I was 18 ... today that smartphone-stuff, gaming consoles etc deliver "fun" much more easy and without the need to understand operation systems, updates, patches, drivers etc. - that's one thing, quite understandable to me. The other thing I can't sort out why there's something like a "common disinterest". For me and a lot of contemporaries the PC was a fine solution to fulfil our dreams up to a certain degree. Ok, I can't fly jets or 4-engine-heavies, steer steamers, locomotives or whatever in real. But at least I can simulate a lot of it, master the problems, learn procedures = GREAT FUN! Today most kids stand next to me while flying, note respectfully it's quite complicated and attractive to look at. But if I tell them "here, take over" there's no interest. I often earn a bewildered view "old man, enjoy yourself, but why on earth should I be interested in doing that?"
Jade_Monkey Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I knew the pilots in this sim skewed a bit older than the typical game but I'm surprised by how much
Nightrise Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 MFW I'm only 20 I'm a [EDIT] baby compared to most of you
Nic727 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 BOS to ROF comparison so far: 0-20 - BOS ( 8,33 %) ROF ( 8% ) 21-30 - BOS ( 19,44%) ROF ( 19% ) 30-40 - BOS ( 23,15%) ROF ( 24% ) 40+ - BOS ( 49,07%) ROF ( 49%) hm... same people buying sims? lol. Maybe... I'm 23 and I got a lot of sims (LockOn, Il2 1946, FSX, etc.). I think we are always the same community new players are here because of family (father, brother, friends). There is a lack of Marketing in Flight Sims games.
SCG_Space_Ghost Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I wonder who the oldest fart on these forums is.
Lusekofte Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Old il 2 I know people passing 75 years, and know of up to 80. I think we all going to die on old age with a joystick in our hand, That gave me a unwanted picture in my head
pilotpierre Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 One would assume the picture in your head was wrinkled and possibly withered????
Trooper117 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I imagine in that alternate world you frequently inhabit that you are already immortal...
Guest deleted@30725 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Since my mental age is 5, that's what I put.
ST_ami7b5 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Why does it end at 40+ ??? Edited April 8, 2017 by ST_ami7b5
JG27*AD Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Hey, you kids !! Get off my runway !!!!! 65 Salute !! AD
JG5_Schuck Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Man...you need to have 50+ and 60+ , you will be surprised by how old people are Ha ha ha, i think this shows the Devs haven't quite got a grip on the customer base age demographic. Alot of people on here from the Il2 days, including me. Edited April 16, 2017 by JG5_Schuck
