I'm 48 and have been flying sims since the first video-game-type appeared in the lobby of a local theatre in 1970. It was the 'Lunar Lander' which I handily set down to a soft landing regularly to the amazement of my friends(including my girlfriend). Even Flying magazines' Richard Collins agrees (has stated in his column) that the best use for flightsims is to practice procedures. It's still fun to pretend. . . even at my age. Have fun young man!

Fellow simmer,

6th July, 1966 (about to hit 35). I am glad I was born in July and not June, otherwise it would have been 666(6)! Flight-simming for only around 18 months. Got into it by a very unique way. In 1997 I started to suffer the effects of a congenital spinal problem (developmental scoliosis). This caused (and still causes) me so much pain that it made work extremely difficult. So I bought my first home computer to enable me to do the work at home that I was in too much pain to do at work. Of course this machine had internet access and it wasn't too long before the Red Baron 3D demo found it's way onto my hard drive (I wasn't looking for a flight-sim at all. It just happened to be the first download I found that matched my system's capabilities and wasn't too big). It wasn't long before full blown flight-sim disease hit me. Red Baron 3D demo was followed by Red Baron 3D (full), Jane's WWII fighters, FS98, CFS, CFS2, FS2000. And of course FS2002 in November. I also became a sad case computer hardware nut and have built a number of machines for me and acquaintances since then. I'm also a motor sport simming nut, playing Grand Prix Legends exclusively in this category. But I have to keep my simming activities in moderation otherwise my upper spine lets me know well and truly. Which is proably good in a way - otherwise I'd have no other life.
