POLL: Average age on the forum.

considering Oleg admits that the core of the sim wont even be finished with the release of BOB ( still alot of tweaking and graphics enhancements and probably tons of patches) and also considering that this platform is tailored to work with third party developers, i think it will become a staple, id give it a 2-3 years more than il2 due to all the other developers that will use the core to build other things, SOW BOB will be less sim than il2 and more like a GAME ENGINE, think of it like the counter-strike engine, and when another replacement comes it will probably carry over a lot of the core functions of SOW and build on them

35 here.

My first flight"sims" were "F18 Interceptor", "Gunship", "Falcon 1" and a game (I don't remember the name) where you could fly a tornado - all on the Amiga 500.

Those were good times

Hm. This is the first time I've had to tick the 40-50 years box.
It suddenly made me feel much older. Not good.

Anyway, my father is flying this sim quite often, and he is turning 75 this fall.
He gets rather quick tired of aircombat though, so I'm making fairly easy missions for him, mainly to scramble and intercept a few transports or groundpounding trains. This game goes well with all ages!

I'm 53 and thought I was old, lol. How about a geriatrics squadron?
