Anyone remember a sim that divided us as much as COD?
This is not a rant in any way, as we are most certainly divided. I was just thinking about this the other day...on how certain releases have torn apart folks that have a common interest.
One of the bigger ones I can remember was the release of Flanker 2.0. I was at Combatsim at the time and there were battles going on that were mostly Flanker vs. Falcon arguments. Whats my point? Not sure I have one really...just seems different here and the battle has been going on longer than some real wars.

So your saying there is no such thing as a flight sim community based on some obscure survey (that you created?) that 99.99% of flight simmers have never heard of? Sounds like a case of hurt feelings more than anything else.

I've never flown in an arcade server, that's 2/3 HL was made of at the time. And the "full difficulty" servers I flew in were the ones without external views. So I'm part of a little IL2 community, a single rib of the global IL2 community. So IMO the CloD is not dividing those communities.
