I flew the Swedish JA37 simulator 2 weeks ago, formerly used by Swedish Air Force.
I did quite good, considering you only saw front view, and no G-forces, managed to land twice out of 3 , with full monty realism.


a good pic of the JA37 below :

steep learning curve/challenge, which translates into great satisfaction when I manage to do something right :)

After the way I've flown the last two weeks....I have NO idea.

lol  ditto!   But I'm still having fun.

To tell the truth, I'm back after about four years away, and trying to regain some lost skills.
It's like my skating... I see the play, and the mind knows what to do, but the body don't do it anymore.

I'm hoping that I'll find a home with some buddies, like the old days with the Texas Rattlesnakes back in WB days.

i play here because it's safer then  going out to a bar---i can't get into trouble here,it saves me money--i get to meet people from all over the world--or at least talk to them.meet people who was and still are in the military.i aaplaude there service and their willingness to put there lives on the line for us...feel the same way about law enforcement officers..and once in awhile get to talk to the ladies in the game.it helps me relax at the end of a stressful day,which is 5 days a week..like someone said i can quit when i want-people are always saying this game has gone downhill--i don't see it.what would they be doing if this game went away.just think for a minute--if it did..i think you would feel an emptyness--like if your best friend moved away...i didna get to play 2 weeks in a roll last year(hospital) and thats how i felt. shoot i miss my fellow squaddies that don't play anymore...i think you all would miss this game and all the people in it..even WHO/MIDWAY...even the people you cuss at ..call names--get in verbal fights with....even though we are all in different ingame countries--bishops--rooks--knights---and real countries around the world---we are all friends here. if someone attacks our game we will attack back...i love this game and i like the people that play ito answer the main question--it's the best game out there--and has thebest people in it.if you all think this is just mush,so be it. :salute

The abuse is second to none.

It's a lot of fun to play as well.

It offers a high level of maturity compared to other video games.

To quote my good friend Dodger:
