Can't see how they can keep both going, and WW2 is where the money tree is.

Hmmmmmmm. Your comment makes me wonder how much of a salvation the merge of 1C and 777 was to 777 Studios. I don't think they were in any imminant danger, but does 777 Studios have the capital to create another sim once RoF starts to wane or not make enough money to sustain the development crew? Maybe this was the best for EVERYONE involved.


We are a niche market, that doesn't realize how small we are. I visit several 'regular' gaming forums and have been a member for no less than 6 years.... most longer. When i mention Flight simming or CFS I hear crickets chirping. Couple that with the average age of flight sim enthusiasts and I wonder how long this hobby will be marketable.

It can be worse than trying to talk politics sometimes.. and that's on either side of just about any fence when it comes to simming it seems.. anyway.. just a 411..




You actually got threats like that?!! That is sick.. That someone would take something on the internet that seriously..

IMHO much better to prune topics that are overall genuine discussions than locking away the whole thread. I never liked group punishment exercises for individual's transgressions, not at school, not at the military, and not at a forum I visit in my spare time for information and entertainment.

All you need is a historically accurate flightsim that is compatible with the Wii U and its new tablet controller :D

If you were being dominated by your fat wife, you would want to be a moderator on a forum too, to give you some feeling of power which you will never have in real life.

That is uncalled for, don't you think?

I am assuming that you are referring to me.. or maybe FSM .. since we are the only two moderators on the IL2 boards..... If you are referring to me..

You can say what you want about me.. but for you to start including my family in your little rant is a new low.. I don't know you and you don't know me, and you certainly don't know my wife... You know nothing about my family life and you sure as hell don't know what goes on in my home..

I have the love and respect of the people who are really important in my life... like my lovely wife, my children, grandchildren, parents.. and inlaws ... my co workers and my employers.. my church family and my pastors ... and some of the many friends I have made and met in person over the past 12 years of enjoying this hobby of mine that I have come to appreciate so much.. so what people like YOU think of me on internet forums is really of no significant importance. I do what I do in this community because it is something that I am a part of and that I am somewhat passionate about.. From my perspective when you get from something you are obligated to man up and kick in to give back whenever and where ever you can.. through monetary contributions or service.. I do both depending on where it is ... That was how I was raised. This is what MEN do. They don't hide behind the security of the internet taking pot shots at the families of people they disagree with, and really know nothing about over matters that in the larger scheme of things are only minor diversions at best.

You talk about "some feeling of power that one will never have in real life" .. Well based on your post and the way you carry yourself you have no idea what real power even is ... that's why you made that statement in the first place... YOU are the one seeking to validate yourself by making childish statements in cyberspace in an attempt to transfer your own inadequacies on to others.. It has failed.. based on what I have revealed about myself to you above.. and more.. I have enough power in my life to be grateful for each morning ... I wonder if you can say the same thing.. ?

That's low, even for dwellers on this forum. Maybe I'm expecting too much from this community, but I really DID expect people here to be older than 14. Apparantly I was wrong.:rolleyes:
