Magic Zach Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Myself and a Co-worker we're talking about the age of pc game players. I told him that I haven't seen or heard of youngsters playing it. What is the average age?I got onto DCS when I was thirteen. Fifteen now. I've encountered a couple other youths such as myself. Not many though. Most of the folks I meet on DCS are people with their own jobs and families.

PicksKing Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Once I had a 15-16 year old teenager as a squadron member and he was the youngest I've ever seen. By far. So there are some very young pilots out there but only very few. I think the average age is between 35 and 40.

=OPS=Slider Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Wow, am I the youngest one here at the moment :D? I'm 19, started with Flanker 2.0 and Il-2 Sturmovik when I was 4-5. And I'm not acting like some kiddos on AO server, when they keep crashing because they think it's fun... Maybe I'm already TOO OLD to get it :joystick:. EDIT: I read all posts carefully, for now Magic Zach is the youngest here. Btw Zach, we flew together some time ago ;).
