Light attack aircraft group?

[Aries101]

Hello all,

 

 

 

Out of the blue...How many of you would be interested to be part of group that soley use Light attack planes (L-39, Hawk and C-101) and maybe Helicopters? Usualy hosted missions and casual fun in DCS.

 

 

Any input is apreciated and if you preffer not to answer publicly, feel free to send Private message.

 

 

Edit: Casual Flyers group is "formally" formed, based in EU. See details in post 7.

Curiously, I was thinking about this just the other day. I had been hunting about to see if I could find a multiplayer server where I could productively fly the L-39 in a combat role. All the light-attack aircraft tend to fall between the main categories and either can't compete with the modern jets (and SAMs!) or are excluded from the WW2-era servers.

 

The thing is that, for many people, the light attack aircraft are secondary to their main interest (in my case WW2). Perhaps this is why there are no dedicated squads... well, at least not that I know of. I'm very curious to see if your initiative will gain attention, Aries101. But perhaps having a loose association, rather than (or perhaps in addition to) a dedicated group, might be a better way to bring light attack pilots together. Alternatively, a good light attack multiplayer server might serve as a focus point - casual pilots could drop in/out; yet it provides a "home" for dedicated individuals to meet and build a group.

Dietrich, you are on right track here. I don't think we will set up 24/7 server but game can be hosted in usual flight time (eu area). It is nightmare to type via cellphone, so i will be more elaborate afternoon.

I'd be very interested in something like this.

i'd wing up in the l-39... the plane interests me but it is so limited online right now. could be fun in some specific scenario play with others.

Hello guys.

 

 

I am glad to see that there are interested pilots out there. I was thinking this morning and decided to go with it but for time being without dedicated server due to all well known reasons. From recent experience shared multiplayer games wored very nice for smaller groups especially for casual flyers, which is btw. group name :)

I prepared whole text about it and already opened up discoord channel. I do hope that one ED fixes multiplayer and give us permanent and propper server, that things will go to better.

About Casual Flyers

 

 

Hello pilots. I am guessing that by now you noticed that you just can't hop in your light attack airplane go on regular big servers and expect to be competitive. Usualy nowdays in DCS it is obvious domination of 4th generation of airplanes. That is why I started Casual Flyers group.

 

 

We are here using only Albatros, Hawk and Aerojet from Dcs planes selection. We fly helicopers too since they are also almost non existent in regular servers. So u san use here Huey, Gazelle, Mi 8 and KA 50. Idea is to adjust missions to be doable with those planes, training missions with several zones as some kind of default mission. And when we see fit we can make special one.

 

 

At time being this group is just created so there is no dedicated server and there will be none for sure untill ED fixes multiplayer bugs and make dedicated Dcs server aswell. So untill then we will share our games between members. We are EU based group so expect some "usual" flying times starting from 17 up to midnight GMT time. That don't mean that you can't hop on chat in 9 in the morning and open up server and fly. If you are in DCS voice channel it means that you are flying and have opened multiplayer game, or waiting for someone to opne one (if you can't due to local network).

 

 

I would like to have chat with interested pilots on voice before you get accepted as member.

I must note here that this is loosly organized group and we do not have any special requirements apart group rules wich are just common sense ones anyway. You are totally free to be in dozen of other groups aswell, hop in as you see fit and go out as you see fit. No obligations of any kind and there will be no remving members due to inactivity. Only time that someone might get banned is when rules are seriously disobayed.

 

 

When you fly with other group members rules are simple. Do not shoot anything on friendly airports on purpose. That is bannable offence. Other than that have fun and enjoy.

I hope you will enjoy flying with us and that we will see you often.
