Whats your taste
 
Get voting people and that's an order.

What era of planes you prefer to play in, in my case it has to be WW2 Mono Planes there is just something about them.

HunterICX 05-29-07 12:37 PM

WW2 era ofcourse.

Bi-planes are really fun. but I cant resist the muscle planes from WW2 they are just special in a way:up:

CCIP 05-29-07 02:21 PM

Can I vote 'all of the above'? :D

I love all for different reasons. WWI is the one I have least experience with, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested.

If I had to pick one, and it may be due to the sim rather than the era, then "the office" for me is most definitely an F-16 cockpit :p

Egan 05-29-07 03:17 PM

Bi and Mono and I base that entirely on aesthetics and the romanticised 'nostalgia' of the eras. I play and love Falcon but that is mainly because I love messing around with the systems more than anything to do with the actual aircraft. On the whole I find jets ugly and unappealing. What can I say? Dogfighting just isn't the same when your combined speed is a couple of times the speed of sound. Much the same as with subsims I'm into the history rather than the equipment. Sure, a single 688i could have sunk every ship the allies had - but it isn't a type VII.

There is something about the design of aircraft prior to the Jet age which gets me every time. I still can't look at a Spit, for example, without coming across all weepy and patriotic and thats strange for me as I'm not really that sort of guy. I have to choke back the tears every time I see the Battle of Britain Memorial flight on TV. :D

Jets for me! Though I do dabble in WWII frequently with BOB2.

PD

Chock 05-29-07 04:37 PM

If I could only pick one, it would be WW1, I just love the visibility of an open cockpit and the skill needed to get the best out of the aircraft. Plus you get to paint your aircraft in whatever funky colours you like if you play on the German side!

:D Chock

STEED 05-31-07 01:28 PM

OK folks I shall open this up a bit as too what side you play on the most. For Me on CF3 it's about 50/50 for the German and British sides and sorry to say a America in third place.

IL Series it has to be the Russians.

I am 70% fighter pilot 20% fighter-bomber and 10% bomber.

Haha, totally backwards for me!

I'm 70% fighter-bomber (I'd put CAS duty under this too), 20% bomber and 10% fighter, regardless of era :p

As far as sides, I'm not that particular. I like playing Russians because, well, I'm Russian - but I enjoy all sorts of planes in WWII. In modern sims, so far I haven't warmed up to any but American hardware.

By the way, that's why I'm called CCIP. I love that method of bomb delivery (and low-level bomb delivery in general) :|\\

robbo180265 05-31-07 03:34 PM

I voted for WWII but like others I fly all eras.

I'm normaly a British or German fighter pilot in CFS3, American bomber pilot. Dunno why, it's something to do with the planes I guess.

I enjoy CAP's the most, so I'm probably 70% fighter pilot 30% bomber pilot.

Not played enough with IL2 yet.

Not played LOMAC at all - I find the menu sound incredibly annoying, and I just don't seem to have the patience needed to learn new controls

Heavy pilot with FS9

Linton 05-31-07 05:44 PM

I would like to try a heavy jet bomber such as a Vulcan ,trying to get into the Moscow air defence region at 20 ft for a cold war strike.That would be an interesting game!

they are easy to tear apart..but they got muscle

ps. I think I,m going to bump up the Online Chatter thread. hold on

Biggles 06-01-07 05:58 PM

Ah, I love airplanes. I know most about WWII to be honest, but there is something special about flying over No-Mans-Land in a Sopwith Pup....WWI for me, lovely aircraft, horrible war.

FIREWALL 06-01-07 06:42 PM

WHAT..No hot air balloons ?:p

kurtz 06-02-07 05:11 AM

I could've voted for all. What I actually play is IL 2. I've had a long holiday from flight sims (been underwater!) but just bought IL2 1946 so back in the cockpit. I used to play Janes USNF because the campaigns were so immersive. I also really enjoyed Hind or whatever it was called, long gone now I guess.
I really fancy WWI if anyone can suggest a good sim for the period??
