We are move than happy to create a separate channel for the squadron if wanted.

I mention this because is nice to be able to see who is on TS and if we all use different servers, that is not possible.

Organized events and such I tend to prefer operating from our TS since it helps reduce the cross-comm talk that happens. Some people join the ATAG comms and look for the the channel with the most people in it and join, regardless of whether or not they are in that flight and it can get a little too chatty for my liking - especially when you're not familiar with the voices. Someone calling out a contact can be problematic if you have no idea if that guy is with your group or not.

I'm too polite to ask people to leave the channel

If I'm just flying on my own without the squadron, I'll join ATAG's teamspeak no problem.

Wolverine,

I understand. That's why we have configured password protected channels for some squadrons (which we could do in this case too).

I was unaware you were setting up password channels for other squadrons. Cool, I'll sort that out with you for the next event.

Cheers,

Yes, any squadron wanting a private channel can feel free to contact me or any other ATAG member.

I had my first taste of multi-player, last Saturday (thanks Osprey) and last night with No. 401. I got there early, and flew around listening to the other guys. Never did see anyone, but still it was a good introduction.

I do have a couple of comments, though. On my first two take-offs, the plane wasn't acting at all as I expected, and I nosed over into the runway both times. I've never done that before. After my third take-off and I was flying around, the plane responded more normally. Is this the result of the connection speed? Second, I will need to really study the map, in order to find my way around, in the future. Flying early evening, with the sun going down, the rivers and lakes stood out very well, but I couldn't use them to find myself on the map. I guess I'm used to maps (sectionals) in RL flying that show more detail, and allow you to really narrow down where you are. Also, Ive never done any RL flying in England or France.

Just as the mission started, my cable went out for about an hour, so I missed the majority of the activities. But, I'll be back.

I'm glad that it's not just me, there is a definite difference to how the Rotol Hurricane handles on a takeoff run between online and offline for me and nosing over is the exact situation I found myself in the first few times I attempted to takeoff online.
