Hello Sim V Chums!... :D ...!

One of my daily Flight Sim Forums has included a "Mini-Chat" extension to their forums, which is great fun, enabling instant, typed chat, between members already on line at the time!

Instant fun, instant news, instant help, loadsa laughs, etc, etc... :dance: ...!

..any chance for Simviation?

Paul...I love having fun, chatting!.... :lol: ...!

That sounds like a neat idea Paul! Is it geared more for individual (one on one) chats or can there be group discussions?

Problem is it's out of anyone's control and all kind of things could be talked about - including bad stuff - like flame war talk!
You will also find that people use it to answer questions -- and other users would not benefit. (one of my all time annoyances when searching the net to get info, is when I find my question asked somewhere and the answer is 'see my pm' --- followed by 'thanks man, that did it!')




..... on another note ..... I sometimes wonder why anyone ever posts videos on youtube. Very rarely find any video that isn't ridiculed and the poster put down ..... Maybe I'm too sensitive ....... :cry:

Ta for the reply, Pete.... :D ...!

Point taken.... ;) ...!

Videos:
Since getting my new Sport video camera, to fit to my motor bike, I have been getting some requests from Flight Sim Members to post links to my recorded touring videos so they can see what the British countryside looks like....
The problem is...finding somewhere to store the videos, which are often quite large in data size (many Giga-Bytes), and recording time (often half-hour, or more!).
It seems that You-Tube is one of the few Sites where they can be stored, for streaming, and can provide the necessary links, for free!

I gather that the poster can prevent any replies to the You-Tube videos...(For viewing only).

I don't know if its possible to upload and store such recorded videos on the Sim V Site?.... :roll: ...!

Cheers all...

Paul... :mrgreen: ...!
