Hello Pegasus !
I have also quit flying for at least half of year now, was thinking of restarting.. I would add several things to what your friends already said:
- a big problem is that besides Starshoy and Dut, no one really came with a new popular concept for online wars. Dut war was played to death in all kind of clones and I (and probably others) got really tired of it.
- you know that before people were afraid of those who cheated but the only cheat we officially knew about was the speed hack.. now that the game has been cracked and new cracked versions appear constantly, the bigger posibility of cheating is another impediment.
- last but not least: Dolphin is an infidel

(hey sonar boy, if you read this you should know that this time I'm really gonna kick your butt if you DO NOT accomplish what you have begun)
Avimimus, 335th is one of the oldest and best squads around virtual wars, they are very good v-pilots and also great men to fly along with. For them flying full real is the way to fly for many years (as for many other squadrons that enjoy virtual wars).
