Greetings fellow simmers, I'm Jonas (20 y.o. , in Australia ) a new member (finally joined the forum after 'shadowing' the posts early in Jan 09 and playing OFF for close to a year now !)
I vividly remember how you guys were crapping your pants waiting for it to come out ! among the old-timer names I can recall include olham54 and womenfly2
So, on to the topic off marketing efforts for OFF.
Social networking sites - facebook and twitter : have OFF videos been posted on these sites ?
Perceptions off young people: Is aviation perceived as "cool" or "trendy" ??? Do they think old = not cool ??? Is there a big following for aviation among people my age ? - Doesn't seem like it, which really sucks because I'm obsessed with it ! they talk about cars, motorcycles, playstation 3, but never flying machines !
We must create videos that make flying seem "cool" : combine the videos with great sound-tracks
Music featured in youtube flying videos:
The awesome electro-track "Another dream" (Project for the masses, album Dream on) : see the youtube video "luftwaffe"
"Don't stop me now" (Queen): see the youtube video "Me 163 in action"
The Blue max music ( played when the Eindecker takes off - that video seems to have dissapPeared - what a pity)
This is off topic, but has anyone ever dreamed off "aerial paintball" OR "Paintball dogfighting"? - Flying scaled-down replica planes, fitted with paintball guns ! How exhilarating would that be ??!!
Greetings once again
