    The crowd here at SOH is varied and just fine. It is indeed funny you express your "please, no guns" opinion here. Have you noticed the logo just above the button named "Home", up in the left corner of your screen? It is nice i can fly a nicely build vintage bird in FSX, but it is also nice i now can shoot stuff in free flight if i want (as Piglet so nicely put to words).

    I like the original post.

    It is funny indeed, but also emphasizes the strength of FS(X) in that it is so many things to so many people.

    I've been using FS since Bruce Artwick's days, and others even before that, and still love it. But I also have owned and used just about every combat sim that has been devised in that same time period, and still enjoy some of them.

    I own a Mercedes Van, and cannot afford a Porsche or a Ferrari, nor would my old racing drivers reflexes from 35 years ago still suffice for them.
    But on a PC I can have EVERYTHING when I want it and where I want it.

    I just love sims, with and without weapons.

    It's worth knowing that the SOH started life as as a combat sim site. FS forums were added later when I was asked to moderate the first one back in 2001. Most of my screen shots at the time were of Cfs2 aircraft ported to Fs2002 so the history is that a lot of the original combat sims membership gave Fs a try especially as with 2002 there were reflective oceans, lakes and rivers. Who can blame them for wanting the eye candy missing in Cfs1 & 2 to enhance their combat. Cfs3 came but didn't satisfy everyone who enjoyed combat sims and with the advent of FsX with combat add-ons it looks like the most satisfying option...great eye candy...with destroyable targets!
    I saw the thread starter post and took it as a tongue-in-cheek so I'm pleased to see the replies have mostly been in that vein:ernae:

    Just make the systems true to life, especially in the way you must arm, lock, fire, etc. If you cant takeoff, squeeze the trigger and destroy whatever catches your eye, those who are only interested in destruction will soon lose interest. And include gun jams,failed seperations and other dangers to baffel and/or destroy the unwitting harbinger of death.

    Hey, it's a simulated world, but it's MY simulated world.

    I create it when I boot up my system.

    yes i know i cant spell half the time! Thank you kindly to those few who pointed that out

    Who's this Riff and Raff? Are they brothers?

    If they are anything like the Dooley brothers I went to school with it'd best not to let them in the cockpit period!!!

    Why wait for him to start the engines? Just empty your guns into the cockpit
    and be done with it. Occupied or not, he ain't going anywhere after that.
    Then go do some nice peaceful barn storming.
