I hope that some of SimV's newer members don't take offense to this, I honestly don't mean it the way it sounds.

But has anyone else noticed the influx of "newbie questions" (relatively speaking, of course)?  I'm wondering if, with CoF on the horizon, 2002 is priced way way down like usually happens when a new edition is released.

Anyone know what it's going for retail in the states?

& simviation is equally aimed at newbies (casual users) & diehards alike - deliberately. Always has been ...  from the day it was concieved   Newbies are always more than welcome & as is always said ' there is no such thing as a stupid question' *

(btw ... you can easily find out the current retail & 'used' price of the majority of things using something called  .. the Internet (amazon.com for instance.....) ...  ...)




* OK - exception: 'I want someone to build a B2 Spirit with all the works. Virtual Cockpit & exploding bombs & ...oh yeah .. send it to me when you've finished - I'm even prepared to pay $20 to anyone who can do this for me.... '

Believe it or not - this can & does (rarely, thank god) happen ....  

Ok sorry...as I said, I didn't mean to "slam" newbies as it would most definitely sound.  We were all new once, I'll be the first to say that and add on that I'm hardly an expert myself.  I just wondered if I was the only one who seemed to notice an increase in "entry level" type questions, and if that was the case, why that was.

Trust me when I say I'm not here to try to start an issue...

I am not a newbie to FS, but I like to read their questions.  The reason is, sometimes I maybe able to assist them to the level of oldbie or they may ask a question I never thought to ask before.  This way we are all learning something new or re-learning.....

Bring on your questions and comments, newbies or oldbies, it doesn't matter.  Because where the rest of the world may not understand the addiction to FS, here at simviation, we are all family.....awe....

God....for the LAST TIME, I wasn't knocking newbies or their questions!  Jeez....

??? ... why'd you say that?

Can't see anything here that would make you react that way ....

Anyways... funny how one person can read a simple peaceful message as somehow 'angry' ...

My motto on the Net: Always asume the message is meant either calmly or in jest - because it usually is...  8)

Hey Scott, maybe a "smilie" thrown in there would have let everyone know how you meant that comment....I have, on occaision, been known to also omit a smilie and been the cause of  " Raise a little Hell " without intending to do so.........       8)

I hear you there mate!  I do the same thing and a few months ago I responded to a request for help, the person I responded to didn't like what I said and acused me of being various things.  It all got a little messy for a while.  It's very easy to offend some people as they can't hear the "way" you've said stuff.  I too have noticed a recent influx of questions about fs2k2 issues.  As Ozzy said it seems to come in waves.  The most popular questions seem to be about installing aircraft and navigation.
