May 12, 20224 yr You are all entitled to pronounce avsim in whatever way pleases you. However, to settle the debate on the official pronunciation, I refer you to none other than the man himself (time = 1:46 in case the link doesn't skip directly to it) : Rest in peace Tom, and thanks for creating a place for us wannabe (and actual) pilot nerds to debate silly topics such as the pronunciation of avsim.
May 13, 20224 yr As Tom does on that video, I've always called it AV-SIM (i.e. the first half of AVRO, with SIM tacked onto the end). Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

May 13, 20224 yr I have always believed it to be a clever substitute for our beloved game 'F-SIM'. But since that was not a unique name, I assumed Tom spelled it like AVSIM. Menno i7-11700, 16GB, 1 TB SSD, 2 TB HDD, RTX 3070, Windows 11, MSFS 2020 DeLuxe, P3D 4.5

If I were to bump into someone and learned they were a flightsimmer, I would say I am a member of A V Sim.

May 13, 20224 yr I communicated with many members over the years that called it Av, as in have, sim and I've always called it that. At the Orlando FSExpo I heard many people use the same pronunciation. However, I don't think it really matters one way or the other. I think most simmers would know what you were talking about.
