Holy smokes! I had no idea that a) it was so unstable, and b) the amount of work you guys have put in to make it all playable!
MASSIVE kudos to you and the ATAG crew. Wow.
Ok, maybe something a bit more casual.
What about, for now, simply a set time each week that people try to make? Yes, people are on here and there throughout the week, but if we tried something like Monday Night Flight Night (6PM PST -- the Europeans can mirror this with another time that suits them) every week on the ATAG server just simply to boost numbers -- something a little more coordinated that people can attend, we might just have one night with decent numbers. I'm sure there will be server resets and all kinds of weirdness so we won't keep track of mission successes and failures, it's mainly just a free flight with boosted numbers because there's a so-called "meeting time". Almost like a virtual pilot's social club. Maybe do a mailing list or something, or just create a forum channel for it. Then, when the game catches up, we can expand it a little to include organized scenarios, teams, virtual fronts, all that stuff (most likely in the year 2031, I'm sure).
Or maybe Sundays at 11 AM PST (which I think is 7PM GMT) to include the Europeans as well. It kind of shoots my day a bit, but if people are into it and we get good numbers I don't mind -- I'd probably be playing video games any way.
You tell me though, if it's going to be a headache it's not worth it.
