Default 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.

"Us"... define it please. I'm against the concept of "flight simmers community".

Look at the the stats here (only 20 guys actually answered to the questions, thanks guys!)

"Us" who?

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.

Look... I'm here since the first IL2.

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.

Just saw this thread and immediately the same answer Ze-Jamz already gave came to my mind. Oh the memories...
