I don't think I can bring myself to watch any of these streams because I guess I'm old and grumpy and just flat out adverse to the streamers' "personas".  It's agony sometimes.  I'd just as soon kiss a wookie than get through more than 2 minutes of Chewwy's content (like the way I used a Star Wars line reference there?).   Katie seems nice but her voice is so high pitched, my dogs go crazy.   And et al, et al.  I'm not really denigrating these people; I'm just not their audience. 

Although I love the guy, I can't even watch Q8s streams any more (although I do watch his prerecorded vids) because 50% of the stream time is thanking people for donations and welcoming people with names like "Superflyer Bob" for joining the stream.   I'm old, intolerent and can't tune into the young dudes content..... is all.  😄

What I am looking forward to is anecdotes, feedback and reviews from fellow AVSIM members here.   Although I could be one of those people; as I think the apparant quality of this means it could be a day one purchase!*

*As long as Aamir removes that Chewwy logo from the coffee cup holder.   Really, that has to go.

I'm sure Into the Blue Simulations (YouTube) will do one at some point. He's probably more up your street. Although, ironically, I can't get through any of his videos because while the content is superb, I can't abide his talking like a pilot (yes, he always talks in *that* pilot voice) the entire time! Funny how it goes 😁

Was there a need to mention about their voice? Probably not.

I edited my post to remove the streamer's name and pronoun, to protect the innocent.

PS.  My voice is so deep that people call me Louis Armstrong. It doesn't offend me, and amazingly I don't interpret it as a racial slur either.   I guess I'm just not looking to be offended in life.

But I do respect your point, hence editing the post to remove reference to that particular streamer 👍

Perhaps you can edit your post, to remove the gender pronoun?   I removed it in my quotation of your comment, above.

You’d rather kiss a wookie? I can arrange that 😉

In terms of streamers, I just rarely have the patience to sit through anything more than an hour. Much rather be simming!

I watch very little of this type of content but I have caught that a few times and assumed it was either a joke or some sort of performance art. What I do know is that it's... hard to take. 

I assume he even uses that voice during the physical act of love which must be unusual for the recipient.

I've updated the post!

Wow didn't realize that Katie pretty much coded the entire EFB (as per Fenix discord where devs are confirming that: https://discord.com/channels/736572376967282769/736572377428787221/975817374085312542) ... that is quite a level of involvement for an IRL 320 pilot in a sim aircraft project. This amazing EFB alone is worthy enough to be a separate add-on product.

I am pretty shure, if it comes online, the servers of Fenix will die for 24 hours....lol😂

I‘m barely into my thirties and I relate to this so much. So no, it is not your age at the very least. 😀

What time is BlackBox711 coming online?

I’d like to agree with this but I’m way over my thirties 😎.

 I just don’t get it.....and people give them money......it’s truly a mystery.

You've nailed it there 👍. I tried to watch one sim streamer - can't remember who and lasted all of about 2 minutes.

What is more incredulous than people actually paying them are those that worship them like they are the font of all knowledge.

However, if people like them - live and let live 🤷‍♂️

Here's 320 Sim Pilot's preview of the Fenix, IRL 320 pilot, no-nonsense, and for all of you who hate typical streaming-isms 🙂 .... this is one of the guys/gals whose preview and eventual review I'll value most given his great reviews and tutorials from the past as both a veteran IRL pilot and simmer, and the fact that he's unbiased. That's not to take away anything from Katie, Blackbox, Fabio etc of course... Their opinions are equally as valuable, especially the insights they can provide given their direct involvement with the development/testing of this bird.

Is Fenix a descendant of PSS or Blackbox Simulations, or is it just a co-incidence?
