Rodger Pettichord Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hi all. With the passing of Queen Elizabeth today, it doesn't seem right to be trivial. On the other hand, nobody better embodied than she that old British saying, "Keep calm and carry on." In her honor, then, we shall keep calm and carry on, trivial or not. Our topic speaks to the fact that many of us enjoy more challenges than just flight simulation. Some play realistic war games like DCS and War Thunder and Call of Duty. Others play fantasy games, Still others do other simulators--cars, trucks, railroads. And that leads to this week's topic. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: What computer games do you enjoy in addition to flight simulation? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 None. Just flight sims, photoshop (for my other hobby photography) and the usual MS Office etc. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Well I have a TRAINZ pc game that I would tinker around with when I first bought it 20+yrs ago. It was a bit of fun. But my little yet chubby Grandson plays it all the time as he loves his trains including Thomas of coarse. I have him 5 days a week of which deny's me access to my computer and therefore any simming what so ever. Bummer. cheers Gumby 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wain71 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 aside from the usual flight sims I like to play American Truck Sim or Euro Truck Sim, it's so unstressful to play, any WRC driving game, and like Landon MLB The show.... 12 hours ago, Sniper31 said: MLB: The Show (American Baseball Game) I thought I was the only person playing this, had to download it because MLB is not popular here, when based in Berlin some US Soldiers got me into MLB and NFL, been hooked on both since... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John York Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 None - I simply read westerns on my Kindle Paperwhite. To make sure I can't remember things, no stories of subjects after 1901 though. I don't even fly anymore having given all my flight gear away and changed my computer. So, its all fantasy for me now. Reality is too hurtful. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ben Franklin started it way back when. It gives you plenty of time to analyze the board. I like it a lot. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
