Open a Flight Sim sub-forum here? Yea or Nay

[Onkel Neal]

UPDATE 5/27: Due to the numerous requests for a flight sim forum, the Helosim forum has been expanded:
Helosim.com and Flight Sims (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=216)
Discuss helo & flight sims such as IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Enemy Engaged, Combat Flight Sim, OFF, FMC, Comanche, Battle of Britain, Search & Rescue, Red Baron, and others.




Ok, some Finn has been talking with me about setting up a dedicated flight sim sub-forum here, and it sounds like a good idea. One provision, I need to gauge the interest level. I mean, until recently, how many threads on flight sims have been started here? So, if you have 50 posts or more, vote and let me know if you play flight sims, would like a Subsim FS sub forum, and if you think you would actually use it a few times a week, minimum.

50 posts or more to vote, no "just joined this week to spam the poll" guys ;) This is a public poll, your vote will be on display.

[Dowly]

VOTE PEOPLE!! :p

[Sailor Steve]

Don't tell me what to do Dowly! I'll vote if I want to!:p

I'm obviously not playing anything right now, but I do own FS2004, EAW and Red Baron, and I'm enthused about CSF3, mainly for Over Flanders Fields.

When I can play again I'll be getting more and playing more, possibly even online. So yes, I would love to see a Flight Sim forum.

[CCIP]

naturally :|\\

As much as I love subsims, me and flight sims go way back. :p

[edit] Dowly, hope you don't mind me stealing your sig for a moment!

[Biggles]

Aye! My name is based on a WWI pilot, so naturaly I find this idea great!:D

[Jimbuna]

I fly with the little Finnish ferret over on TS/IL2....so I vote YES :up:

[Dowly]

[edit] Dowly, hope you don't mind me stealing your sig for a moment!

You bastard... :nope: j/k :p

[XabbaRus]

Yea I fily IL-2 1946 so it would be cool

[stabiz]

Bah, flyboys are the worst kind. Fire Scud!:arrgh!:

[Oberon]

I have LOMAC, IL2, Pacific Fighters, Comanche vs Hokum, and the original Battle of Britain, and I'm getting back into the flying, so yeah, I'd be interested!


Just need to get a stick now :cry: My last one died :dead:

[danlisa]

Yes!:up:

Neal, you just know you want to do the right thing.;) Just look at this way, atleast half your daily/weekly PM traffic will disappear.:rotfl:

[joea]

I say YEA!! :up:

[HunterICX]

:arrgh!:Yarrrrr....
I want a Flight sim subforum as besides Subsim, flying is my second nature

[GT182]

Sounds good Neal. I voted Yes.

I use Wings of Power and WWII Fighters from Shockwave Productions in my FS9, plus I fly IL2/AEP/PF patched to 4.04m with a group..... Pik As 42/JG53. Tho FS9 is not installed right now due to a HDD crash, it will be after next weekend..... same goes for IL2. And we could always use new members for our JG53 Gruppe.

[Bort]

A resounding "Yes" from me here. Now that I've got the tools for flight simming, it sounds like a fantastic idea. I think more threads about flight simming would open up if there were a dedicated flight sim forum set up. :yep:

[Marko_Ramius]

I vote yes, off course :up:

I always love the good flightsims but not enough time in a day to try them all ..

[Tikigod]

Planes sink ships and subs you have to have them on this forum. :up:

[Camaero]

Yes Pahleez!

[Pinetree]

I fly BOB2 regularly so yep :up:

[Chock]

I'd like to see a section for this on Subsim, seems logical since there is a tank one. I suspect many here are into things other than just naval sims.

I'm a sucker for all that, got probably every flight sim there is, even though I drive the real things too :rotfl:

:D Chock

[Dowly]

See now, Neal? Just make the forum! :rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

I fly BOB2 regularly so yep :up:

Did you vote ? :hmm:

[Dowly]

I fly BOB2 regularly so yep :up:

Oki doki then ;)

[robbo180265]

I fly FS9 , CFS3,Lomac and I've just bought IL2 1946

Yes please:up:

[Happy Times]

I need help with IL2 so i vote YES!

[PeriscopeDepth]

LOMAC-FC, F4, FS9, JF-18, and BOB2 here. Certainly more of a flight simmer than a sub simmer. So a yes from me...

PD

[Onkel Neal]

Ok,a fair response, I've expanded the Helosim forum to include discussion on flight sims. Go on in, move the furniture around, make yourself at home. I'll be conferring with the moderators to draft a mod for the forum.

thanks!
Neal

If someone will point out which existing threads here should be moved to the new digs, I'll handle it.

Thanks Neal! :up:


I think the Flightsim screenshot thread could be moved over to the new forum.

[melnibonian]

Great Now Dowly is Happy so we can all go and do whatever we were doing before being press ganged into voting for the Flight-Sim Forum ;) :p :rotfl: :rotfl:

On a Serious note. Thumbs Up Neal. Good Decision :yep: :up:

[flintlock]

Go on in, move the furniture around, make yourself at home. Please be careful with the Sumatra Mahogany hardwood floors though! ;)

[fatty]

Good idea Neal. I voted no because there are already a lot of forums/subforums with only a smattering of posts. Merging is a good compromise :up:

[PeriscopeDepth]

This is Subsim, I thought it was just sand floors here. :smug:

And thanks, Neal.

PD

[Jimbuna]

Much appreciated Neal :up:

[robbo180265]

Thanks Neal:up:

[Skybird]

Probably will not post much in a flight forum myself anymore, but would read it with interest. Problem is that tanks can't fly. :D

Sure they can. It's just the amount of TNT you use. ;)

[Pinetree]

I fly BOB2 regularly so yep :up:

Yes he did. ;)
Oki doki then ;)

:D ...and yes :)

[danlisa]

Thank You Neal.:up:

[HEMISENT]

Thanks Neal
Good move!
I have all the IL 2's except 1946, currently waiting for the new BOB to come out. I'd love to get into Flanders Field if I can find the time.

BTW...this is the happiest Dowly's been since he got rid of the hat.

Wha?! What's wrong with my pink hat?! I still have it in the J8AH forums! That's my secret weapon in IL2... that and the David Hasselhoff bare butted pilot skin. :rotfl::rotfl:

[pythos]

At least the first MS FS. I currently am running FS 2004, and love it. I am a certified private pilot, so flying is definitely in my blood.

Submarines are my second source of fun and adventure.

I guess it is the fact subs are also in a three dimentional world like planes.

:stare: David...hasselhoff! butt naked....
normally I do not shoot at parachutes...but as for a half naked David ....I cross the line

[Seth8530]

I say it would be awesumn. realy get things organized.

[Biggles]

Eh, mate, it's been done...ages ago;)

[Dowly]

Yeh, it's part of the Helosim forum. :up:

[Avatar]

I vote yes, but the poll is closed.
I'm looking forward to Maddox 1c: Battle of Britain: Storm of War, from the folks that brough you IL2 series flightsims.
I used to go to www.airwarfare.com but that site has changed and not many people use the forums there anymore, I think.
I would love a forum that has all the resources and support of subsim.com!

[HunterICX]

Hey avatar,

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=216
