Okay then everyone, how come is it that there are so few girls on this forum. I mean, us simmers can't be so awful and neglectful etc that the fairer sex won't have anything to do with us. The only girl here i know of is Self (Sarah). WHY??!!  8)  ???

The problem Dan is that aviation is a male dominated game, just like say rock climbing (although my missus is well into this), or female topless boxing (an old favourite).
Personally I admire any woman that will stand out from the crowd and have a crack at a male dominated and usually somewhat sexist-pig thing. My wife shocked a lot of people taking up climbing with me (the in-laws are still giving me a hard time, and we've been married 2 years!). She is slowly coming around to aviation. My hat is off to all those ladies who get involved.
But that said, any bloke who knits is a complete handbag Grin

For some strange reason I can just imagine that sooner or later someone like Bill Gates will come up with a virtual shopping simulator. This will of course be a marketing maneuver aimed at selling new computers for the his and her generation. Cause no simmer in his right mind would have such a simulator on his system. So the need for a separate computer will be great to prevent an all out war of the sexes....lol.

P.S. If Bill Gates reads this...I expect a cut for the idea. I'll need a hefty profit to locate a place on earth were irate male simmers won't be out to get me....lmao.

The irony in this subject, for me is; I always considered flight  simming and war games etc., to be a predominantly MALE activity and was happy to leave the IM's Email's and Chatrooms to my wife. Now I find myself here BSing with you lot! Cheesy     ............and as the, now familiar, expression goes, "it was just because I had ONE question!"  Roll Eyes

Actually Will, I would like to, but the wife and I are saving to buy land in WA state at the end of the year. She saves EVERY last penny that I earn. I have a list of items that I'm compiling when the "big buy" is finished.
1] Video Card
2] Fast Dial-up Connection
3] CFS3 (I've taken to dive bombing buildings, and chasing airliners for entertainment!)
4] Some kind of combat video game (1st person)
 
I've tried flying online, but just plain old FS seems kinda boring to me. I have to admit I haven't tried it enough, and my lack of knowledge concerning how to do it (due to lack of spare time) have kept me from doing it much more. ???   Pat 8)

I picked up CFS1 for $40 Aust. about 8 months ago, mate. I'm told it can be got for $20-00 in the US.
It can be played on even my pawltry system with intergrated graphics all day long at 40 fps.

And it's a great Sim. The graphicS aren't as good as CFS2 but it's a good game.
I'm sure she wouldn't begrudge an avid simmer $20.
It's not out of date, just simpler. A great game mate.  Grin Wink

The other day, I bought takeout rice n' beans(about $3.50 USD), the fight that resulted lasted an hour! It WILL be worth it in the end though! The land we're saving for is 10acres on the side of a mountain that overlooks the Straight of Juan de Fuca(I can probably see Rifleman's house from the property  Cheesy ! )  The kicker is, there's a 1200' grass strip, about 2mins from the property!!
