"Boys" and "Girls" play. Men an women use FS as a simulator. That does not constitute, "play"

what kind of poll is this!?!?!? Most who use Flight Sim are probably in their 30s or 40s, and are MEN.

I must confess that, compared to the average age of people who use flight simulator, I fall into the 'YOUNG' category. I am only 18 and most definetely male...... I think????????????????

I don't play with FS, dolls, guns, my food, girls, boys, men, women, myself, others, everything else.

This poll is irrelevant.

I am only 15 and USE flight simulator. I played it when I was 11, b/c I didn't have a joystick.

The poll would have been more appropriate with the following heading
"What age group do you fall in?" This would give a picture ...

I'm 13, and I use the flight sim as a simulator for about any kind of chopper or plane, it lets me do stuff I couldn't normally(fly) and really realistically. I've been using it since i was 10.
And no,I don't "play". I fly heavies for a few hours here and there, but i do mostly just fly a chopper or a vtol plane, and try do do the most complicated procedures using the most concentration. Funnest for me.

I'm 14
I use flight simulator as a simulator
I dont fly helicopters
I fly mostly heavies (737 being my favourite) 🙂
But I sometimes fly GA (I really like that TBM7600)
I'm starting to like prop planes (that Saab from BSMP is great)
I dont "play" Flight Sim, to me that involves crashing aircraft on purpose, which isnt fun, isnt even nice

I'm always learning new things about Flight Simulator, getting diffferent add-ons, such as PMDG 737

🙄 Exactly, boys play, that = boys play with FS9, and with girls.
Men, well, men dont hit the Esc button when difficult flights/rough weather/FMC/Fraps/turbulance/save button/add-ons/and everything else does'nt go right, 🙄 (please add) and we play with BIG girls Fear Tongue Twist Fear . (Everybody to their own Whip )
