I have been flying the A10C since 2011 and own almost every module (minus the Viggen, C101, and combined arms). I have never bothered posting on the forum, only using it to read, research, and learn.
I am also a private pilot (tailwheel and complex endorsements) working on my instrument. The fact is that we are very much here. To assume that that girls don't fly flight sims is merely that, an assumption. My ten year old daughter and I regularly fly the L39C together and we both just bought the Hornet. She is a total nut for the Blue Angels and cannot wait to have her own!
Maybe listen to liveATC sometime and realize just how many female pilots and controllers there are in the real world.
Personally, not having female voices has never bothered me as I rarely use the DCS controllers. Once they look into reworking the ATC, I do think it would be nice if the pilot could select to have either a male or female voice and throw in a few random voices (a woman or two) for the controllers.
I have never had an issue with the pilot bodies. I am totally fine looking down and seeing gloved hands on the controls and boots on the pedals.
Happy Flying! ;) :P :pilotfly:
To be perfectly honest, it is those types of reactions and responses that keep me from posting on most forums. I agree that it shouldn't matter either way, that being the point of equality. I prefer to just stay out of it rather than deal with people like that. Life is far too short to put up with rude people. I have enjoyed DCS for many years without ever having participated in the forums. I do not think this is what Elysian Angel means, though. She is speaking equally about the forums and the community as well as the game. The sad fact, though, is that there will always be jerks in every crowd whether that be online or in real life. Confronting them enables them more. I find it best to simply ignore them.
