The future looks better all the time.

Custard,the first post I have ever voted (up). ~S~. It Is sobering for some (like me) who have "Flying a Plane on their PC" as their Hobby/Passion....The numbers are dwindling in my experience.

I fly "the others" as well (when I have time). Each have aspects I dislike and each have aspects that Keep ME flight simming !...No need to state pros and cons !

Since my "Banning" Elsewhere for expressing my views,I was just about finished with Simming, Forums and some of the people present (here and there).

I tried other games ! Didn't work !

I came back to flying !....I love it (and ive spent more money than I should have on it) !

So this how I see simming now in 2015.

(1) We are a Niche market (Very, very small Globally ).

(2) Amongst our small Niche community(like all gatherings of People) we have a minority of Whingers !...We all know what Whingers are....we work with them, brothers, in-laws etc etc. Always have to be Right and always Doom and Gloom. Their way or the Highway ! ...And if they don't get what they want, they will throw a tantrum and use every excuse to Justify that tantrum !

Hence Destructive Minority.IMHO

(3) Unless the small community unites to keep ALL SIMS alive, I cant see ANY of them Succeeding if they have to Compete for a Very small market.

(4) This Elitest "attitude" that some our community have is (to me) arrogant to "New People" joining doesn't help.....BOS forums, today ! A new guy made a post about using a keyboard to fly. He got told to go back to WT . There was some very helpful replies ,but is that how we treat newcomers ?..And we are low in numbers !

 

Bottom line for me , I am Happy that my Hobby is Surviving (just about) and I am willing to compromise on my "Perfect Sim Ideology".

I just want to have fun Flyin !

~S~ to all

I did no such thing.

 

I stated that War Thunder is built with KB/mouse in mind and that he wouldn't get far without a joystick or another type of analogue control.

 

You are drawing your own inference from my statement and that is your problem, not mine.

Latest version, and I agree its harder to fly with that kind of damage but you can still pull high stress manoeuvres without the wings falling off, and land successfully.   

 

Not sure I managed anything that crazy, but either way, if I had to pick, i'd take BOS FM, CEM and clouds graphics with Clods DM, ammo setup system, MP with 85 players + extra AI and visually more detailed cockpits (optionally clickable so we don't have to bind less important stuff like nav lights and such).  That would be great game for my taste.

 

And if I am allowed to fantasize, adding ARMA3 land detailed objects and graphics and VR support would be just epic touch and damn justified excuse to call in sick from work for a month

Oh, thats how they made clipped wing Spitfires

 

Those were my same thoughts while watching that video.

Indeed, they all have plus and minus points

It's all in the tone. Don't try and misrepresent yourself.
