February 18, 201511 yr Exactly, the British government doesn't care about flight simulation any more than it cares about rail simulation. It's just a photo call to boost the Prime Minister. ahead of the election. No, fishing simulation is more their thing. The amount of carp they spout...

February 19, 201511 yr When politician visits your business it always means lobbying to away some obscure rule at least in USA it works that way.
February 19, 201511 yr Seriously???? :rolleyes: 'The Prime Minister said.. 'Business's like Dovetail Games are a crucial part of our long term economic plan for the country, and it is thrilling to come and see the role they are playing in Britain's economic recovery' . With a picture of the Prime Minister being taught how to play Train Sim? Dunno where you get the impression that the government is supporting Flight Simming, they supporting game playing. Is this one of the most important challenges you gauys have in economic recovery? Playing more games? Is that going to be his election manifesto? 'Steam Ahead! Play more games, Play more games' And this gives the Brits confidence in their P.M.? Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
February 19, 201511 yr No, fishing simulation is more their thing. The amount of carp they spout... Nope, definitely goat simulation, they have plenty of practise at buggering about Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS
February 19, 201511 yr British governmental support is usually the kiss of death for anything aviation related. Since when has the British governement ever supported aviation? Probably the only time was when they forced BOAC to buy the V10 after the then Chairman A.H! Guthrie tried to cancel the entire Vickers production run!

DTG is a growing small business, supporting and visiting them is the business equivalent of photos of politicians kissing babies... If it wasn't a games company, it would be something equally banal like a car maker or a bakery. Recently Mr Ed's been doing that quite a bit too.
February 19, 201511 yr I don't get if we saw the same article or not. There is no mention in it about british government supporting anything for us flight simulator people. They just visited DoveTail because in the recent years managed to grow as a company and took advantage of that to advertise the new government campaign in favour of new businesses. We don't need thse fake news. Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
February 19, 201511 yr It's gaming the PM is supporting .... Fishing, train, goats etc.. A gaming distribution site! Good grief guys. The posting was made with a bit of tongue in cheek. Some of you are taking this waaay too seriously. And BTW, what the government is at least claiming its trying to do is encourage small --> medium business growth. Not gaming or simming or anything else. But again - some of you are taking this way to seriously. Scott
February 19, 201511 yr Are we going to see 'By Appointment of the Prime Minister' on Dovetail's product's loading screens? :p0503: Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
February 19, 201511 yr Are we going to see 'By Appointment of the Prime Minister' on Dovetail's product's loading screens? :p0503: As long as they hide Thatcher themed Easter eggs in FSX:SE, I'm cool with that 1980's themed VFR navigation challenge, coal mine to coal mine using nothing but the sound of angry northerners :ph34r:
February 19, 201511 yr Yippee! A new mission as well as a Nav challenge & race.. We gonna get Avsim, Sim-Outhouse & Flightsim to set up teams? Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...
