welcome b00zy wumpus, the games in the EST have been pretty lively lately. last monday or tuesday there were enough players on around 1 am to have 2 16 player games. there are a lot of new faces and they are in the same boat as you. learning to fly and getting their shooting down. go back through this thread and add the xbox players. you will get games for sure. you can add me Bobbysockser. happy hunting.

Excellent, sent a FR your way and to a few others. Hopefully will add more as I bump into them (hopefully not literally) mid flight.

The fact is the game (more often than not) will count you being shot down as a crash instead of a kill!

When I bail out when my plane is damaged, the last guy who shot me gets a freebee kill unless he was killed first.

Doesn't work like that on xbox unfortunatly. If you want to bail out to give someone the kill, you have to make sure they have inflicted damage within the last couple of seconds of you bailing, otherwise you will be crashed and the enemy player will be pissed off with you for denying him a kill.

Hi all, new to BOP and looking foward to many hours of online play with you all. I live in manchester UK and play most nights from 22.30.

My love of aircraft came from many airshows from my younger years, in my teens i joined the ATC 2468 SQN and had the joy of learning to fly a small 2 seater aircraft called the Chipmunk. I would love to fly again but i guess flight sims will have to do for now.

welcome MATTXYO, what system are you using? there are a lot of players over there in both. look through this thread to find them and add them, if you just look for games it is much more difficult without "friends".

oh....if you like the chipmunk and still wish to fly cheaply. check this out for starters.

Rans are nice. i dont know what the ultralight or experimental regs are over there but it might be worth checking out.

Ha ha, snap! I also flew the Chipmunk years back when I was in the ATC (1003 SQN)

I seem to remember that the engine had a cartridge start system. It was like firing a shotgun round into the engine to get the prop to turn over. Bet you don't see many of these in operation anymore!

Reporting for duty. I've taking over the game from my sons, so I guess I'm considered a noob. (That's what they're calling me LOL) It's going to take a while for me to get up to snuff on getting the aircraft before I join in the dogfighting online so to speak. Can't wait. I'm going to lean towards the Russian fighters, probably the Yak-3, when and if I get it. Till then good hunting.
