HiJack Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 The more the merrier. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we'll happily help you along your way. I'll be around Friday and Saturday evening if anyone wants to fly then as well. Would that be GMT Eddie? I will show up at TS GMT 18:00 and idle in pilot lounge I think :joystick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yes GMT Rusty, not sure exactly what time I'll be online over the weekend, it'll depend how distracted I get. Should be on around 1900-2000Z though.

JD_LincsUK Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well, I had a test go on your TS3 server - all working well :) I'll look in as I can over the weekend/eves (i.e. when I get permission! :P ) JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've now got an 8 ship and a 4 ship mission finished and ready for a test so, depending how many people we have, we can give them a go rather than using public servers.

MackTheKnight Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm glad to hear you guys are making this a regular weekend event. I had a blast last weekend. If I have time, I'll be there. :) -Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haril Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Haril aka Skumby here. Good fun was had tonight. Many helicopters were lost. That canyon was a maze of twisty passages, all filled with AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) That were fun! I sure had some trouble flying through that canyon :pilotfly: But when we changed server I was blown out of the sky by a SAM :) I saw it coming but didn't move, I froze, must be the cold weather here up north :music_whistling: Anyway, lot of fun with "MackTheKnight" "Sabre" "Haril" "Chris" and me as "HiJack" Mac's landing with no tail was a really good show :D There were a few more when I logged on but didn't get their ID :huh: Edited January 17, 2010 by HiJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sorry I couldn't join you guys. Ended up being "engaged domestic".

Made.In.China.00 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Harbinger here. That was some awesome fun I had today. I'm really lucky that my first MP experience is such a good one. In the rookie terrorists mission I only crashed once and did an emergency landing successfully after losing right engine, although I wasn't able to make it back to the FARP. The second mission was hard, we all got shot by anti air multiple times. I especially loved the SAM that killed Hijack aka Rusty. To me, who was on the ground at that time, the missile seem to be going really high, since we warned each other not to go high, I said something like "That missile is going nowhere" on TS, and right when I finished, big fireball and Hijack is history.

MackTheKnight Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey Guys, Yes, it was alot of fun with some interesting landings. LOL Hope to do this again soon. Same day/time/place? -Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD_LincsUK Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Shame I missed it - but I am working hard to get up to spec with the weaponry (no point just coming along as a 5th wheel...) and will jump on as soon as I feel confident enough to last more than the 2 minutes in my first combat mission. :cry: I've a lot going on at the moment and not enough hours in a day.

Chris CDN Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Sorry I wasn't able to stay on very long on Sunday. Things are quite busy around here and I was only able to get online for about 45 minutes or so. Thanks to everyone who keeps making these events a huge success. Again, I've updated the first post with this Sunday's date on it. See you all out there (and don't worry about being a fifth wheel, there's a reason it's called rookie meet up.)

Woots Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Updated 21 January, 2009 I propose we meet up on Eddies Teamspeak channel (which has been moved to Teamspeak 3 at the moment) at 2 PM EST (That's 1900Z or 1100 PST) on Sunday, the 24th of January. From there, we'll find a server with a few open spots, or set something up ourselves. Chris I'm in. I was looking to join a virtual squadron (still am) but this sounds just as good. See (ah hear) everyone Sunday. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD_LincsUK Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I intend turning up for this one - I wanted to be on tonight, but my wife had other ideas... ;) Anyway, is there the risk that too many people come along? Is there a limit to the number of players, or is this limited by the server? (and therefore the mentioned risk of too many people :) ). I don't know if my 3.5MB/s connection would be sufficient to host - but if so, I'd be willing to do so on a future occasion. I guess that then it's groups of 4 pilots per flight?

MackTheKnight Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'd like to join you guys this Sunday but I believe the g/f and I are going to see Avatar in 3D. Will catch you guys next round though. :) -Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre-TLA Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I'll be there and I suggest we get better datalink assignments. There was some confusion at the last meet who was flying which aircraft. So I propose the first 4 use 127.500, next 4 user 127.400, next 4 use 127.300, etc. so we can have multiple players but still datalinked to our four-ship flights. What do you think?

Indeed, you can also have a common frequency that the flight/element leads can use to transmit data-link info between flights. Obviously this need co-ordination over comms.

JD_LincsUK Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 A fun evening. Was nice to meet you guys at last and have a blast! I learned more this evening by flying along than in the last 3 weeks reading manuals (data overload). Still haven't fired a shot in anger, though - I missed that damn master arm switch - d'oh! :music_whistling: Took some happy snaps- I've not set up the AA/AF yet, so a bit jaggy: Looking forward to next week's meet - I'll be getting in lotsa practice in the meantime.
