Pretty sure all flightsim forums these days are geezers comparing their epeens and word not allowedting on Asobo...


There's the occasional good topic but  I do read an awful lot of moaning 😄 Makes me want to troll so hard, but I have to behave 😄

LOL! Actually, the very first flightsim, if you can call it that, that I fkew was called 747 Simulator. It was all ASCII text characters as computers didn't have graphics then. No sound, you just watched the ascii spinners and the numbers changing. In a way it was pure instrument flight.  🙂

I’m 65, and back in the day without computers, the closest thing to flight sims were kites. My first kite had a drawing of John Glenn’s head on it, so that’s 60 years ago. When Sublogic flight simulator came along, it was a stunning technological wonder, flirting with the possibility of breaking the 1 FPS barrier!

We had to walk 3 miles every day to the public library flight sim computer. The white haired matron would spring out from behind her desk and whack you with a ruler when you over played the sound effects. We called her Miss Speedy because she ran so fast!

All this old geezer talk reminds me of the magazine I used to collect and read going back a few decades ago. It was called Full Throttle and died sometime around 2000 I think. I used to really look forward to each issue of that one.

Exactly this but for me it was not that colorful on a green monochrome monitor 😂

Forget flight sims, my moaning started with the poor wing to fuselage joints on my Airfix kits, well before any flight sim!

My dad started me off though, so I blame him.  He said his 1929 link trainer was absolutely awful!

You should just out-trump them. Tell them all they are mere amateurs and 'noobs'; you've been moaning about stuff since the very early days of moaning, back when when moaning about things was done with 8 bit wireframe grumpiness.
