In my opinion this forum needs a healthy dose of both gamers, simmers or whaterver else you want to call yourself.
Unfortunately, I feel these types of posts are divisive and not actually that helpful.
In my opinion we ‘as a community’ should welcome anyone who wants to experience flight simulator - it really doesn’t matter how you ‘play’ or ‘sim’ it. Everyone has to start somewhere. We all have different things we want from the sim and it has a fantastic opportunity to teach people about aviation in a amazingly immersive way.
The wider the user base the better the simulator will become, the wider the user base the more investment it will get, the wider the user base the richer we will all be.
