Any cross-genre sim communities out there?

[Chugster]

I know there are plenty of communities for specific flight and space sims but are there any multi genre/game communities that cover both...where you can chat and play with all sorts of flight stick fiddlers...be it in F-16s or X-wings.

I haven't come across any myself and anything close have been different videogame genre forums on various flightsim websites, most of which unfortunately don't get many discussion threads. I really like this idea and from time -to- time I play videogames to achieve a Cold War cross-genre play experience. I've run missions in Germany with SF2E and then followed them up with missions with the the Flashpoints Campaigns: Red Storm turn-based strategy game for on the ground simulation. Then for an even more close in ground perspective, I've followed that up with a mission in the ARMA 3 first person shooter videogame using the Global Mobilization add-on; small area of the West German - East German border 1986. Doing that has given me a deeper level of immersion.

I wish I had a place to discuss my play experiences, but I haven't really found any.
