Pizza..

 

yep, I tought so, eats handy while flying..

Do we have such survey results from 10 years ago? The age spectrum is interesting in the survey, particularly the relatively small proportion of 21-30's. It raises the question of whether people grow into flight simming. Or is the flight sim community getting older, on average?

 

+1 for Fish & Chips.

Nah, when younger especially that age group, you are busy raising a family for the most part. If you are single, you are out looking for it, or recovering from the night before. What is interesting also about this country anyway is folks are putting in longer hours at work because the company is afraid to hire anyone at this time. Just my two cents.

No, we sure don't. However, I can say that the age demographic has remained pretty much the same for all the time that we have been doing these.

I can't believe how many people fly offline :blink: !!! Why??? C'mon guys join Vatsim or IVAO, it will be more fun than flying with stupid AI aircraft and controllers!!! :P

Becoming an online member is a bigger step than actually buying any add on aircraft in my opinion..
