Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 5, 2011 Root Admin Share Posted April 5, 2011 As you might have seen in the menu bar near the top of this page we have added a Members Map. Not only because we think it is just cool to see where the people we talk to are located but also because it gives us an insight in where customers are located. So adding your pin to the map will increase the chance of a scenery product close to your location! It is of course also a great way to find friends that might be close and meeting a fellow simmer over a beer has always been a pleasant way for to waste an evening when I am traveling. Members will show up as red pins, people who are friends are shown as blue pins. We think you should not add your exact address for privacy reasons, but entering your town or even region will make the map very soon a great way to visualize the customer base we got. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 My pin's there, well at my favorite pub in Cambridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Emi Posted April 5, 2011 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 5, 2011 My pin's also in. BTW, this is a great idea. With that i can see who lives in my region and so i might get in contact with those persons. People who are interested in flightsimming are rather rare in this world so this is very good for getting connections with people who have the same hobby. Just my 2 cents.

Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 5, 2011 Author Root Admin Share Posted April 5, 2011 What funny is that you can see the timezones now. As the US wakes up more and more pins show there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle Posted April 5, 2011 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted April 5, 2011 Great idea, just pinned myself One suggestion: As the "Aerosoft community" not only covers flightsimmers, it would be nice, if you could choose a pin, showing what kind of simmer you are. @ Matt: Yours is the only one looking different, how did you manage that?

BPL Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Added my pin. It's very interesting to see where we all live. So far, we have members on every continent (including Antarctica ) except Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin Mathijs Kok Posted April 6, 2011 Author Root Admin Share Posted April 6, 2011 What a great idea and my pin is up. Don't know why I'm blue though. Blue indicates a friend. And you are obviously your own friend. But sad actually, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, we have members on every continent (including Antarctica ) except Africa. A friend in South Africa just popped up. And I am working on Antarctica, we got a guy there who helps us with the Antarctica project. He's in one of the stations there but I am not sure they are occupied this time of year.

Paul K Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Can someone explain to me how this works ? I go to the map, zoom in to where I want my location to be, then click on Add Your Location button. What do I type in the ' Your Location' field...my name or what ? I tried doing that, and it said my location had been added...but there was nothing there in the map.

I've placed myself in my favourite Cambridge pub, and if you love WW2 aviation, then its the only one to drink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
