I know this may seem an odd request. I work for an airline maintenance base (the largest commercial airline base in the world in fact 9,000 est employees, 260 acres, 3,300,000 sq ft) and have many co workers that may be interested in this sim (this is a highly concentrated area of people with at least some interest in aviation. Otherwise why else would they do this for a living right?). I would like some posters to display on the walls to advertise for ED. Think you ED guys could send me some?

why not save ed time and money and just tell them all about the sim with words.

you tell an employee and he tells another. is called knock on effect.

Or are ya just trying to get free posters for ya room

Medic, be nice. ;)

 

Quick, I don't know if that is possible, but I'll try to remember to ask.

If you pm me, I can send an advert but it is 22MB, so you need to tell me where to upload.

Medic, ever hear the expression a picture is worth a thousand words? I can only speak to one person at a time (also I do WORK there which limits my socialization time). There is also the fact that not all people I communicate with about the game are going to be interested. The great thing about a poster is it attracts attention of multiple people and only those that have an interest need respond, as opposed to getting thier ear raped.

 

Follow me?

 

Posters to decorate my room with might be neat (though I am not a poster guy) however, I am much more interested in having more pilots joining the fun in multiplayer action.

I think one of the best ways to advertise is through youtube. I know many who have purchased this sim after watching videos like mine and Glowing Amraams.

[EtherealN]

Something being the best way doesn't mean that's the only thing one should do. ;)

There are people who don't trawl youtube for videos, for example.

Hey quicksilver. Got a job lined up for me? I need a summer job. I'm in school for my A&P right now. I'll pay you in redhead pictures... (inside joke)

[Phantom88]

I've been posting DCS A-10C Screenshots in a lot of FSX and flight sim related forums......they've been drawing alot of interest.

[Krebs20]

Lol. Chicago people here now.

 

A quick thought for you gold rush.

See if ED can send you a pdf of the box art and use that for your poster. The back cover has some good info.

[jeffyd123]

its funny, I tell certain people (that I think may be interested) in my job about A-10... show them U-Tube vids and go on about how real and challenging it is... they never take interest.

 

Oh well, the internet wins for finding like-hobbied folks.

Ha ha GoldRush... your killing me (thats my jet name, when I fly a helo I go by QuickSilver).The Tulsa base for American Airlines is hiring right now. I am not sure what the mechanics start out at but they top out somewhere around 30 an hour plus license premium. Go to aacareers.com to see if they are hiring in your city. I could always use more pics of redheads.

Thanks for all the interest. I am preparing adverts and will post when ready.

It has never worked and never will. Majority of people do not want to spend hours learning anything, anymore. Just the way it goes. It takes a special type of individuals to be get into flight sim. The type that love to fly but can never afford to do it for real. :D

Or the type that do (and get paid for it), however IRL will never get a chance to fly a military jet like the A-10. :thumbup:

@JimMack. I was thinking of asking for some stuff for the up coming London Gaming Con.

[ZQuickSilverZ]

Thank you JimMack.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this simulator. However, games like Battlefield, Call Of Duty ect. take a much shorter time to pick up and play for the same amount of enjoyment (depending on the individual, though chances are more people would enjoy the latter more anyway). Which is especially good when work and/or other commitments come in. If you look at it in a way, imagine the time spent devoutly learning DCS to other things, say work or getting a higher education. We're actually less productive :D

I'd say 95 percent of my flying, since I've started simming, has been just that, flying. I don't do campaign, I don't care about medals and I don't read manuals. Once in a while I'd rearrange the ground targets in my "TargetPractice.miz" so they present some level of difficulty, but not too much. If I find a particular target is difficult to kill with gun then I'd replace it with a static one, so I don't get all shot up. I'm not technically gifted so when I want to shoot MAV or drop LGB, I just learn the keys and the order in which I need to press them.

 

I love flying first and foremost, so I do a lot of aerobatic dance over the same airfield over and over...and haven't gotten tired of it yet. :D I cannot wait to try DCS Fighter because in a dogfight, you're basically doing aerobatic but with gun. :thumbup:

Looks really neat. If you got time, please make a poster too. I've got a big format printer at work. Would like an A0 or A1 poster on my wall.. ;)

[PeterP]

poster

 

Dejjvid,

simply open the UK version in adobe reader (or equivalent) and copy and paste only the image into a graphic program and your poster is nearly finished.

 

[Krebs20]

Nice work JimMack. Only I feel its missing a the part where its online compatible with Blackshark 2. As it stands, a good bit of advertising.

[Dejjvid]

So your saying the small leaflets, stored as a PDF contain 300dpi+ A0 images? I believe not. Especially since the total size is around 22MB. The posters I produce end up as 500-2000MB PDF's..
