tromac2010 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi all, I know we have a good portion of virtual pilots that live in Australia/New Zealand. I'm curious as to where everyone flies online? Up till recently I was co-leader of an Arma group for four years but retired due to waning interest in Arma and the politics. But now I'm thinking of a new project. Cheers, Tro [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oesau Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I fly where there are players (and acceptable ping) _ my challenge is finding servers that have the settings I like. I don't want to sound like saying "full switch or nothing" but I prefer to fly where there are no icons, no map icons, and no external views (unless it's the aerobatics server).

Kaiza Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 We have a group of Australian and NZ players with a dedicated server. Look out for the AEF server. Check out my sig for more info. Cheers.

MauganRa84 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ill jump into whatever is popular at the time and has a decent ping.

Strut Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Tromac, Although we are in a US based group- the 229th- we have an Australian and kiwi based helo company (C/229) that fly regularly, although we are a "HueY" organization, we have been neglecting that lately and fly everything anyway, especially the latest Sabre and Dora. The link is underneath my Sig.

BWLF.Wolf Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Tromac from OCB? AEF is a great Australian server and usually the only one that's constantly online and regularly filled with players. I have ~250 ping to the US servers such as 104th but it's never caused any problems for me or other players. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tromac2010 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks for the posts all. Yes Wolf that would be me. I've retired from OCB now but looking to spend more time in DCS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumgrunt Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Just out of curiosity, is there a standard "big night"? Sundays were always a big night for ArmaII, and I remember Sundays and Tuesdays generally had a few dudes (and dudettes?) playing, but the few times ive been on in the last few months it was very quiet.

FlyAV8R Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) AEF seems to have upwards of 15 people on it most nights from what I've seen. Edited August 23, 2014 by AceFire [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB1 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately AEF tend to only play on full noob mode and on the playground map that pretty much has no sense of PvP, that and most of their missions are heavily bias in favor of NATO forces. That said I am in contact with AEF and we (My little group of peoples) occasionally organise Face Off missions. It is a red vs blue arrangement designed as if it was real, depending on numbers we usually have 1 ground commander and 1 air commander on each side who's job is to coordinate ground forces and airforce respectively, and the rest are pilots. Usually mission design stays true to aircraft type to side - Red=Russian aircraft, Blue=NATO. It is a passworded server and server settings are set to full simulation, all pilots must be on TS and coms is relatively ~strict-ish but not at the expense of fun, we talk shite but try not to clutter coms up too much. As we have issues finding numbers I'm sure we can arrange something if you so desire. Generally looking for people that can fly any DCS or FC3 aircraft without hand holding. However if your'e new AEF have plenty of training sessions and have friendly, knowledgeable instructors that would help anyone wanting to learn. If interested send us a PM, Next Face Off mission is scheduled for 13/9/2014 Edited August 23, 2014 by OB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm an Ozzie living in rural Vic. I played with KA-50 a lil bit previously but am very keen to get into the F-15. I am moving house soon but in a week or so I will have my sim pit setup and would love to be a part of some training sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauganRa84 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm in a similar boat. Living in QLD sunshine coast. I can fly most of the DCS modules relatively effectively. I'm also moving house, next week, so I'll have my gear back up and running soon after. Hoping to see more competitive Aussie action online in the DCS world. ...Sheila rides on crashing nightingale.

tromac2010 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm enjoying flying the SU-27 at the moment, would love to play OPFOR in some PvP sometime. But I'll get there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
