Hehe.

long life il2!!hehe!

Nice!
My 5 yr old daughter loves flying on XBOX360 also!

:grin:

very nice!!great!!!

I have been keeping it from my 5 year old boy, leaving him to Star Wars the complete saga.
After playing that for a while it seems that BoP is less violant then the 3+ rated Star Wars game.

il2 is history let him show up his school class

ok class what happened during the battle of britain and the blitz (expected answer children evacuated etc)
answere given many he111's flew over england bombing cities and airfields whil us in hurricanes and spitfires tried to shoot them down using 8 303 machine guns (then gives a demonstration on air combat tactics)

But they're all better pilots than me!!!!:grin:

My 3 yr old daughter also likes to play "daddys aeroplane game"

She likes to fly upside down and she likes crashing, like her Dad in Sim mode...

My 12 year old daughter plays MW2 online. BAD dad.

My two year old LOVES IL-2.

the video games are the favorite games of the young kids,we played with a littles toys cars or planes,or with a small soldiers,ours kids play with video games...

hehe very nice!!!great!!

thats sweet and he flys quite well i see a pilot on the lines of edals skill by the time hes 10

hi all, my boy will be 2 in march &he loves bop, every time the music comes on his face lights up & he starts making his plane noises. I let him have a flight in training & when he shoots the guns he has a chuckle, & he knows when hes gona crash cos as he heads groundwards hes like ' aw, aw, aw', CRASH, 'ohh'. It so funny.

hello dinoh,hello guys,
very nice!
maybe when we will be a old men ours kids will play togheter in il2 bop number 7 or 8....i hope it!!!!!

Call me old fashioned but shouldn't a 2 year old be kicking balls in the garden and playing in sand pits/ball pools/under-the-table-dens?

Staring at screen for hours can kinda come later, surely?

just sayin...

true, but seeing as this is a birds of prey forum & not a playing in sand pits/ball pools/under the table dens forum i thought id leave all that out lol. just saying whats relevant. Rest assured i wouldn't let my boy play for hours, just a little go here & there. like you say bro his turn will come later, just as my freind Olife says they could be playing bop 8 together in future.

Take him outside? We only let him out of his cage once a week for video games and potato chips.

Little boys like to copy their dads.. Nothing wrong with that.

Sure, my son likes to help chop wood and build/mend stuff, we wrestle, play and play with his youger sister...call me over cautious but Australia's now fatter than the U.S. and I just want to keep him on educational I.T. as long as possible (sure it's arguable that il2 IS educational and my Dad and cousin are both ex RAF but still....)...to each their own I guess.

I just make sure he's in bed before I place my shotty in the back of some unkowing fool's head on mw2 and spray brains;
he's not ready yet to learn about the "dark passenger"...

My daughters only 3 so she's not really interested in playing video games.... yet.

I reckon that a nice balance of education, fun and feeding curiosity will get you far as a parent. MW2 is a totally unsuitable for any child and I'm glad ur one of the sensible ones!

:-P:-P:-P:-P

How this thread turned out.
Fathers parenting their kids and BoP :-P:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P

agree with u juz but like say my friend dinoh i wouldn't let my son play il2 during many hours,my passion is the planes and i want to share it with my son
when i was a young kid no video games existed and as i liked the planes ,i builted a scale models and played with it .now i built a scale models and my son is very happy to do it with me and play with it
in fact i let play him with il2 for a few minutes ,only in my presense ,he just discover the planes ,and he is very happy to do a trip in the sky, see the very nice landscapes of this game and see the others planes which cross him

I dont let my 5 year old play BoP but I bring him sometimes with me to work.
Sometimes he is just to eager and gets out of control for me:
Attachment 1858

Haha nice one KAV. :D

haha !!!lol very nice!!

yeah, who would have thunkit seeing as the thread is about kids (who generally have Fathers) who love BoP...

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

I thought it was just the English who excelled at stating the obvious...

Parenting kids or kids and BoP, whats the obvious ?

I sure hope there NEVER will be a thread called:
Wife loves stick

Well my 5 year old adores flying his spitfire and I agree he's learned a lot about the real battle of Britain as a result. So much so that he now has his own 'gallery' of screendumps on his wall to compliment the every growing collection of airfix hanging from the roof! I just pray he doesn't load up grand theft when I'm not there!!!!

Welcome aboard GILLYBADMUTHA. Good to see you here.

Cheers mate, have to buy you a pink gin in the officers mess!

welcome gilly in this thread
agree with u ,my son will never play gta until he will be an adult!!

My 12 year old son sometimes "borrow" my hangar. He loves to land the planes, of all things... Sadly he doesn't have the big interrest, and the stamina to learn to handle the flight-stick for more "difficult tasks" yet, but I hope he will someday. As it is now he plays MW2 online as most of his 12 year old friends. I my self played CoD from the start so I guess the responsibility is mine after all. But then again... I think young boys are young boys regardless of when & where, so he would have been exposed to the game anyway. I know they play GTA by friends so I have no illusions at all when it comes to hiding certain stuff and experiences for him. Sooner or later they will loose theire innocense, I just cherish it in him as long as I can. But I realised one thing; It is important for me to take a dive into the games he play online, do it togehter with him and talk with him about it, and say a few words about what is okay behaviour&ethics online... Relations is made in gameplaying to. I think I would be a less responsible father if I didn't do it. But thats my stand.
Anyway... We need more recruits :-)
BoP til u drop!

loool!!!
human stick....oh sorry...!!exuse me..!!

I doubt it.. it's a well know fact that wives don't like stick.. That's what affairs are for! (I'm joking... darling!)

My son is only interested in shooting games, more violent the better in his eyes. I do worry about it sometimes. He has a 360 and I have a PS3. If I thought he would play it I would buy him BOP for 360.

Thanks for the welcome Olife. As far as my wee mans concerned he can do enough damage without me encouraging him further!!!
