It's my own fault...too many sims...too little...time.

Funny how this all started with DW and then I got SHIV. But although I really like them both, lately I'm really enamored with the modern sim DW. I had no idea I'd have so much fun with the helos or the P3 let alone the subs.

I wish I had enough time to do it all. Oh well. I'll be back. Just gotta work all that in with DW and DCS A-10( a beast to learn). It's too much right now since I have of course real life as well.

Any suggestions for how you guys balance all your simming?

I quit my job, divorced my wife, and took my laptop up into the hills where no-one could find ....
Dang, I'm having weird thoughts today!

I tend to swing back and forth between sims. Play one until I get burned out on it, and then play something else.

Chicharito · 11-14-12, 07:15 PM

To be honest. That's likely what I'll have to do. I don't think I'll have the time to switch back and forth. So I may do just 1-2 of these until I get burnt out. I've got more than I mentioned obviously including flight sims, racing sims, and tank sims. Oh well. It's a nice problem to have.

I'm guessing it's Dangerous Waters.

That's what I do. Works fine.

Except when I played Il-2 and Fs2004 all summer and forgot about SH3.

Yeah, I have the same problem, majorly. In fact I struggle to dedicate to a particular sim these days; so many options and so many great mods! I find myself constantly chopping and changing, I haven't pursued a 'career' in a year or so!

Chicharito · 11-15-12, 09:29 PM

This may sound weird, but your comments actually help me feel better. Hehehe...I keep spending money on this stuff over the years dating back to 91 with Falcon3.0. So I feel weird when I dump one and play another without getting all I can out of it. In particular SHIV, I'm a newbie, but suddenly DW caught my eye.

Perhaps we need a support group.

Ha ha, yeah, love it. It could be like AA. S(ubs)immers Anonymous:

Hi, my name is troopie. Today I played SH3 and IL2. It has been 3 weeks since I installed my last sim.

GalaxianFive · 11-16-12, 05:41 AM

I know how you all feel. I only work part time, 2-3 days a week yet I never seem to have the time for [I hate the word playing thats what my wife calls it] enjoying sims on my PC. For instance at this moment I have recently installed the U- boat addon and now am in the process of evaluating TMO by sailing a complete career, having already completed RFB, after which I have promsed sidslotm to test the latest version of WDAD, after which I want to finally look at operation monson. Meanwhile the PC is going in for it's annual check up on 19/11/12 so I won't be able ton do anything for most of next week! G5.

dlsa · 11-19-12, 05:23 PM

I just can't stay away from SHIV. Too addictive. I've been playing this game since the ZX spectrum in the 80's.
I still remember the happiness I felt when I played Silent Hunter 1 demo on the PC. Hope they make more US fleet pacific campaigns.

There's a P-3 game? (I'm no help ... I'm just as bad.)
