seahawk09 0 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hey all, What about asking Aerosoft to start an online server for flying online.

bionicCrab 7 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 We already have that it's called VATSIM and IVAO ... perhaps you should google them.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaura Mohana 23 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 it would be fun. and perhaps aerosoft could charge a small amount to get in it (<5 USD) so we dont get n00bs in there and that way aerosoft gets revenue too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart 134 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 it would be fun. and perhaps aerosoft could charge a small amount to get in it (<5 USD) so we dont get n00bs in there and that way aerosoft gets revenue too. Without exception,everyone who has ever used Flightsim was a "nOOb" at one time. The length of time someone has used Flightsim means nothing. We all start from the same base. The attitude of "so we dont get nOObs in there" is already what keeps many from enjoying online flying at VATSIM and IVAO. We dont need more of the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaura Mohana 23 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 sorry if i did not make myself clear. by n00bs i meant the type of kid who doesnt know proper english, who breaks rules repeatedly, etc. NOT just a new guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 14, 2010 Aerosoft Share Posted March 14, 2010 We already have that it's called VATSIM and IVAO ... perhaps you should google them.. Indeed, I think both of these organizations are excellent and there is no place for anything more. Most of us at Aerosoft use IVAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snave 466 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 sorry if i did not make myself clear. by n00bs i meant the type of kid who doesnt know proper english, who breaks rules repeatedly, etc. NOT just a new guy. ...and you think `n00bs` and lower case `i` for a personal pronoun is proper English..? Compared to many of us here, almost everyone is new... hands up who remembers Bruce Artwick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes man. chill it. cant I use improper grammar here? as it is I have to use proper grammar on my exams. and yes, I know n00b (or noob - whatever ) is not even a real word.

Snave 466 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Blimey, good job we're not talking about F15 Strike Eagle on the Commodore 64, which loaded on cassette tape, accompanied by flashing screen, beeps, screeches and whistles, otherwise we'd be positively ancient... Not that I remember that. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Golding 159 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yikes man. chill it. cant I use improper grammar here? Well actually, if you're replying to Simon, I say that's just asking for trouble. You've been around here long enough to know that Simon's articulation of the English language is exemplary and something he feels strongly about. Even I compose replies in Word to try and avoid looking silly Personally, I think there are few reasons not write properly; including capitalization, spelling and of course grammar. I'm forever correcting my children and purposefully write all text messages in proper English. As to the flying online point of this thread; I can't see a need for another provider either.

Cris B. 120 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I can remember way back when Bruce came out with his original Flight Simulator. Everyone in our squadron thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. It was definitely an improvement over the Link Trainer that I was trained on when I was first learning instrument fight! As for on line flying, I personally use IVAO, lots of great folks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
