Please think about helping Subsim

pocatellodave · 09-12-10, 09:51 AM

I was reading on how much it cost Subsim to keep it afloat, 600.00 dollars per month,and I shuddered at the thought of it going away.Understand this,I'm a retired person,and I have a limited income,but I waste $5.00 dollars a month easily.I play the online flight sim Aces High for $14.95 a month,and I thought why not contribute to Subsim,as they have that option available.I realize that it's a feeble amount,but if a number of us skippers donate like that,it will help Subsim to keep up the good work.I meant this post in the best way possible,and please don't take it in the wrong way.I wouldn't be enjoying SH V right now if it wasn't for Subsim,and all the help I got from the modders.I for one don't want that to go away.

Back on topic...i think that many take subsim for granted...including myself: (

Herr-Berbunch · 09-13-10, 08:59 AM

Me too, I chipped in some dollars last week but certainly not enough to keep it running for long

I don't earn a lot of money but had some cash sitting in paypal after an ebay sale ended. I think every time I'll sell something from now I'll hand the 'change' over to Onkel Neal

I certainly get my money's worth

There you go folks, words, not just a smiley

Thanks everyone for the contributions.Yes I think we all take Subsim for granted,but it takes a lot of money keeping Subsim going.I made a onetime contribution a while back,but after seeing how much it cost to keep Subsim going,I knew I had to do better.The Silent Hunter series has always been my favorite,and I hardly fly Aces High at all anymore.I give them $14.95 for basically nothing.
My biggest hope is to get better at SH V,and use manual targeting someday.I'm not very good,so I leave my realism at 69%.I know I'm probably missing a lot,but DarkWraiths mod make it more challenging.It's all about fun,and I must say the modders have made SH V fun for me.Is it perfect ?,of course not,but they keep improving things,and I would like to say,if your on the fence,just give Sh V a chance.It's very nice looking,and you have to learn a lot of new things,which is a new challenge,and lots of fun.
Thanks again to everyone,and if you can possibly contribute,please do.
