I just turned 48 on October 3rd. People tell me I look younger than my age so that's good enough for me!

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

The prevailing attitude seems to be that 50 is the “new” 40 so you’re good to go!

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

45 and we keep getting older and older. Unfortunately our hobby doesn't attract too many young people. Even I stopped simming for like 8 years before making a return with Flight Sim 2020.

Between my wife's nephews and other teens I know who are kids of people I work with, not a single one of them plays any kind of military flight sims or racing sims. It's all Fortnite, mobile games and Call of Duty and other similar first person shooters.

I agree with that PM..got grand kids and great grand kids coming up..They can't understand how I can sit and game all day..I figure it's the same with their social networking stuff and their x-box,play stations ..

Sims still do to some extent, but forums are not popular with the Millennials and younger.

Even Facebook is fading now with the younger crowd. My 19 year old niece recently told me that FB is for "old people".
As far as discussing PC game simulations, places like Reddit are much more popular now than the traditional forums.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel. Romanian born Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate, Holocaust survivor. 1928 - 2016.
Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.
