ghostdog688 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Average age The age of a flight summer isn't all that you would want to test. I'm 30, but have been playing flight sims from about 5 years old (with help from my dad admittedly). A better question would be how long have you been simming for?

FlightControl Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Born '69, turning 48 in November. I am old fashioned in this matter, gimme a booklet for men's best place and I will read 5000 pages ;) Where are the times... You would buy a sim and get a booklet with it... Including printed maps etc. These times are gone now. I did upload pdf files on my A4 sized ereader. DCS manuals look great on ereaders. 47 here... Been using flight simulations for a long time. I think that the 40-ers and 50-ers come from a different generation where each year, as the hardware for home PCs improved, new flight simulations appeared with great new features.

ghostdog688 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm 32 and I wont say my reflexes are shutting down as mentioned in some posts just becuase I'm not 18 any more. I'm 30 and will tell you my reflexes aren't what they were. However, there comes a point where your experience can overcome that anyway. With practice and experience you can manage to plant yourself into a position where quick reflexes are unnecessary; it becomes pure training and knowledge :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolga Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm one of the "few", I'm 18.

hansangb Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So around 35-50, which jives with Bunyap's YT data. 51 here, and my first flight sim was probably F15 Strike Eagle on my friends Apple II. Unless Choplifte counts! LOL. Quickly moved to Flight Simulator around 84'ish. I remember that was the benchmark of IBM clones "it runs Flight Simulator" All of Microprose, Janes, Nova Logic titles followed. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
