Hi Danjama,
I'm sorry to hear your first time on the server was not very rewarding. Sadly, there's an element of luck with obtaining assistance sometimes.
I was in the Help channel on Teamspeak with a new-to-the-sim flier for two hours last night. In all that time we only managed to get him near to the action once where he tore his ailerons off in his first dive, and he was a very experienced IL2 player. It was a timely reminder to me of just how many hurdles the game presents to someone new, I'm sure many people must just give up with the frustration. There's too often stark evidence of this in chat, as there was last night, when someone could not solicit the necessary assistance but the chat system is so limited that even with the time to type it's not much good for anything complex.
I've seen around forty people on recently, with only a few on Teamspeak and at times I'm guilty of hiding from communication, especially when I'm on late at night as I have to be quiet, but a few hours later and both chat and teamspeak are buzzing and its all immense fun. So I'm glad to hear you've not been put off and have the necessary perseverance to get going with the sim in its current state.
I hope to see you and many more in the skies over Dover soon old chap and if I'm able to be of any help, even in chat, I'll be only to glad to try.
Septic.
