I hope so Cragie. I'm just shaking the dust off a couple of me European fighters and getting the ground crew to check them over just the once or twice more!!

Parachute is packed.
Beer is cooling.

Ready to go  ;D

See you there guys

Guys, just go over to the CFS2 game area (is that what it's called) on the Zone and scroll through the games untill you find the SimV game. Enter the game (password needed, pete I think it is) and we'll see you there!

By my watch it is 8:51 GMT.
I'm on the Zone NOW checking my firewall won't block me, so if your on find me (zone name is m4cc3rs) and send me a message
Im gonna get some beer

unfortunatly it didn't work for all of us tonight
however I had a good time with some zeros and P-38 in another room, we up for next week guys?

[Professor Brensec]

How come it didn't work out for some? Problems on the Zone or something?

Anyway, apologies for my absence. Woke up at 0530 but couldn't manage to get out of bed on my own. The Mrs usually helps in such instances but I couldn't expect her to, as she had to get up at 0730 to go to Uni.

So, I laid awake while it all went on without me. Ahhh dear!!

If it's on next week, I think I'll try and stay up all night and doze in my "comfy chair" till it's time.

Thanks  ;D

Me and Maccers were stuck in the looby and ready room a few times then tried an IP connection which then froze, looks like the zone dosn't like us t much

[HawkerTempest5]

I hope we can have another try next week. Maybe we should try an IP game from the start?
Brensec pal, sorry you could not make it. I would be happy to give you a game sometime when it's easier for you to join in.

To put it bluntly (for me anyway)... it sucked
I feel real embarassed about what happened . The game would load fine from Zone, and everyone would get into the aircraft selection... then everyone would drop out one-by-one. Or if someone else was hosting, everyone would drop out all at once.
It even did it with me and Crazycraig on the IP's.
The fact that this problem only happened to me (and craig i think) means its somthing wrong at my end.
I would really much like to try it again next week, im going to play about with CFS and my internet options, firewall (even though it was turned off) and hopefully get it working next week

Thanks Hawker,

I'd like a private shoot-up. It's not so much the timing though.
Even though some may have a heart attack at the thought of getting up at 0530 for fun.........lol. It's not a problem for me, so long as I'm not working the day before or that day (I only do 2 or 3 shifts a week).
The main problem is that my condition is very unpredictable ie, pain etc. I don't know how I'll be until the time comes.
But, as I said, if I sit up in my "comfy" armchair and doze all nite (don't usually go to bed till 1-00 or 2-00 anyway) I should be OK for next week.
So let me know if it's on boys.

I hope it all goes a bit better next week.

Maccers, Do you have Win XP?
If so do you have it's in-built firewall switched off?

This would prevent you connecting.

Otherwise???

I usually fly at 100% (the other guy blacking out is my best chance of not being shot down!!!), and as I said usually stock planes but if I'm on next Sunday I shall have a look for the game.
It does get boring in the same planes so a spin in something closer to home is sometimes good.

Have fun

[Maccers]

Might have a point there

[HawkerTempest5]

So guys, are we on for tomorrow night?

[Craig.]

i'll be there:)

I spent about 4 and a half hours flying online with some guys at Avsim today. You may not realize but I do a little posting on their forums

Had a lot of fun
