Ok, I've got my Teamspeak, I've got the server info, I've got a ____-load of aircraft in my hanger, and I can USUALLY take off and land without breaking anything. (usually) What's next? I've read this: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1089583712 How formal and procedure-oriented are multi-player sessions? Are they a rip it up and have fun kind of gig, or are they more for hardnosed, by the book "pilots"? I have read about people "crashing" (small pun intended) some sessions by blasting onto the scene and causing mid-airs and such, and let me assure you I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! The last thing I would want to do it take away from someone's simulator fun. I tried to join a session this evening, and I frankly felt unprepared. (sorry Purplehaze515) Should I brush up on my piloting skills first?

Groundbound,

It depends on WHICH server you are flying and with WHICH group of pilots as to how "formal" things get.

[Sir_Crashalot]

Groundbound, you are more than welcome to fly on the server. Join one of the tours on Saturday or Sunday and have some fun. We don't mind that you are not a skilled pilot, everybody has to learn. As long as you can behave normally, without crashing into people on purpose, you can and will have a great time.

About teamspeak, the problem is that we are an international group of people. Not everybody speaks English that well or have a terrible accent. So typing is a bit easier than repeating your question or answer 5 times because nobody understood.......

Thanks for the replies. If I were to join a session as an observer, how would that work? Would I be on the ground watching the other players flying by, or would I be in some sort of spot or tower view mode and hanging with the aircraft?

[Sir_Crashalot]

To be honest, I don't know. Never tried it that way....

Hello Groundbound1
On simv you need not be groundbound anymore Please feel free to come fly anytime even if no one else is on because someone might see you flying and join you.
I fly online just about every time I fly just because it's so much more fun to fly with someone else.
If you see me flying online feel free to join and I will help you with anything I can.

If anyone is interested, I found some pretty useful freeware on Download.com today. A time zone conversion tool.

It's VERY simple and light on resources.


I did have a question about FSHostSpy, why doesn't the SimV server show up (cockpit.netfrag.org-8090)? Or is it named something different?
