Why POSCON failed

We all know about lovely POSCON,the thing that was trying to beat the big three of Online Flight simulator ATC……

Yeah,that failed…

Buts that’s old news…here’s my reasons why it failed

  1. The weirdest policies ever

Ok so if you sign up and your 13-16,they request parental approval….

I don’t think a parent would sign something for the internet….especially non tech savvy parents

  1. The ATC

The ATC was horrible….if you been on PTFS on roblox,you know about ATC 24

Yeah that’s POSCON ATC in a nutshell

And finally,the forum…

Probably the clunkiest thing I see

Ok that’s my vent

Regarding the parental thing, that’s a legal constraint that is required by some countries (age ranges vary) for liability reasons. Likely outside of their control.

But POSCON is American and it’s based in the US. I am also based in the us…no laws for the americias about this

Did it fail? I just went to the website and looks like one can still sign up.

Fail like in little to no player count

6

I doubt allowing random 13 year olds to log without parental permission would have made a huge difference to their player numbers.

To be honest I would rather talk with a 13 year old computer and aviation nerd that was literally born as 101% nerdy adult who was already reading science books as a kid, than some 13 year COD and Fortnite kiddy that is yelling all day who´s mother is getting … next and who he is going to kill in real-life and blah blah blah.
Age is not everything, it depends on character and interests :wink:

Policies & rules, written by Lawyers !!
To many rules, and the idea that EVERYONE gets to evaluate you, both ATC & Other Pilots, is a great Put-Off to many.

What I find even more interesting, is where they got the software from (so quickly), and who was involved with it !!! and THEN – how much lawyers were then involved :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
