We invite you to join our friendly online community of flight simmers!
With our active message boards, our outstanding collection of programs,
utilities, and add-ons, our popular online activities, and our unsurpassed
staff of experts, the Gamers Forum's flight sim sections provide you with
the finest support available anywhere. We hope you'll find our flight sim
sections useful, informative, and enjoyable! And if there is anything that
you'd like to see here that is currently unavailable - just post a message
to SYSOP and we'll try to get it for you.
Our thousands of members range from retirees in their 70's to kids "flying" their first FS program. We're beginners and we're licensed airline pilots. We're first computer owners as well as experienced electronics specialists. We're doctors, dentists, lawyers, and shopkeepers, we're students and teachers, young and old, experts and newbies. We have folks here who were first introduced to flying through computer simulation and have gone on to qualify for their private pilot's license; we also have some who are still in the process. We have computer experts who can help with hardware problems and we have pilots who can talk you through learning how to land a simulated (or even real!) airplane. We have avid online combat fans and techie utility designers. No matter what our age, status, or station in life, we're all interested in flying and in helping others enjoy our mutual hobby. Come join us! Just "lurk" for a while and learn from others, or jump right in and start asking questions or sharing experiences. Everyone is welcome here and no one is ever flamed or ridiculed. We value and respect our hobby...and each other!
Three dedicated flight sim sections are available here in GAMERS:
Each of these sections comprises three major components:
* MESSAGES - where members post questions,
observations, suggestions, rumors, etc., which are read by and replied to
or commented on by other members. Forum staffers use the message sections
to provide assistance and post announcements. Pilots flying for simulated
airlines post reports of their scheduled flights and receive orders and
instructions from the airline management. Rally and fly-in news and followups
are postedvia messages as well.
* FILES - a vast variety of files, some
of which are not available anywhere else, uploaded by forum members and
staff, are available for free downloading. The files sections include: additional
aircraft models and instrument panels simulating airplanes not provided
by commercial programs; enhanced scenery for use with commercial programs;
demos and update patches; and helpful and enjoyable utilities for use within
the flight sim world, including navigation tools, flight planners, checklists,
and many other aviation-related programs. Also available are files relating
to the forum's simulated airlines and fly-ins/rallies activities.
* CHAT ROOMS - where members and staff
get together informally for conferences during which everyone has an opportunity
to exchange views, news, and experiences in the context of real-time chats.
In addition to our weekly scheduled meetings (which are always announced
via the forum's Newsflash and Conference Notices), our monthly rallies are
followed by online conferences during which rally participants share stories
about their trip, their landing, and their airplanes -- or any other subjects
that may arise.
Please feel free to post a message addressed to SYSOP if you have
any questions, need assistance, or are just looking for conversation!
