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

Onkel Neal · 05-26-07, 11:42 AM

UPDATE 5/27: Due to the numerous requests for a flight sim forum, the Helosim forum has been expanded:
Helosim.com and Flight Sims
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.

VOTE PEOPLE!! :p

Sailor Steve · 05-26-07, 12:24 PM

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 · 05-26-07, 12:43 PM

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 · 05-26-07, 12:51 PM

danlisa · 05-26-07, 02:53 PM

Yes!

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 · 05-26-07, 03:12 PM

I say YEA!!

HunterICX · 05-26-07, 03:41 PM

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

GT182 · 05-26-07, 09:42 PM

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.

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.

View Poll Results: Should Subsim have a dedicated flight sim sub-forum?
Yes, and I play FS regularly and would discuss with other Subsim FS players	37	90.24%
No, I think we can use the Other Naval Games & All Kinds of Other Games	4	9.76%
Voters: 41. You may not vote on this poll
