Finally loaded the game again and wished I hadn't. Sorry but this game has lost all appeal for me. With so many nifty-looking games out there, PF just feels outdated right now. No matter how many add-ons the game engine is still the same. Perhaps the fire will come back with BoB but it's time to move on. Chalk it up to old age or just plain boredom and time is spent with life, work and my 3D models, so not enough for PF. My wife always tells me to grow up and get a life. I'll do just that. I'm moving on to playing frisbee with me man-eating Pitbull.

Adios Amigos and tell Falcon to cut that hair off and Podge that Ireland is in fact sinking!

I know what you´re talking about, AB. But it´s not the game only that keeps me playing it ...

One question. Can I still hang around here without actually playing online? If that's the case I can still torture you guys here!

I have no idea how to take that last comment but it sure sounds sarcastic. But I get the drift anyway.

Seems like you have been doing that already no?
Too bad on your feelings of PF, as you are missing out on the real fun. Fancy graphics and eycandy is not everything, there are much more important reasons to keep playing the series.

I know the game really had my attention but I dunno it sort of faded on me. In fact how a game looks is just as important to me as the gameplay itself. PF is still way up there compared to other flight sims. I guess I'll wait until BoB comes out and I'm pretty sure I'll get back into the game again.

Hey I ain't goin' nowhere. Just not online flying for the moment. I really should at least fly a few sessions with the FI and see how that pans out. I'll think it over.
