I was wondering if anyone is interested in makeing the SimV dogfights a reality again. I remember how much fun they were before.
Sugesting this might have somthing to do with me searching throught the dead posts on the Screenshots fourm looking for a few pics for Space Ace's 'best CFS kill' topic. Grin Went through absolutely tones of pages and even went back as far as DTWD's fall-out sessions Grin
These were the two pics in question i was looking for.

Anyone Interested? Which sim and when? 8)

Maccers, choose which CFS and post something. If the timing is good I'm on for a scrap.

I only got into the SimV dogfight a few weeks before it stopped. I got shot down loads, but really, really enjoyed it. I'd love to see it come back. CFS2 only though because I can't run CFS3.
Count me in! Grin

I'll definitely be in on it. I only took part in two of the earlier ones and got the crap shot out of me.
(but I got my own back by ramming people on the runway)..........God I'm useless!

Can it be done with CFS1 - I'd like to give that a go.
I've never multi-played with that before. I like CFS1 better than 2.
But I'll defer to the majority, of course.

Let me know when.  Grin Grin Grin Wink

The timings for the fight will have to be discussed. We shall have to take into consideration the groups of people who will be taking part.

The only thing wrong with sunday night is that most will have either school or work to go to and therefore will not be able to attend too long if at all. It seems that saturday night gets in the way of peoples work also.

I would suggest either saturday or sunday afternoon. It's off peak so thats fine and no one should have work. The only problem then is timezones. I think it would be saturday morning for the americans and probably an unearthly hour in australia. So maybe in the early/mid evening of the week end?

We shall try to work somthing of a compromise for all the people who shall be withany luck taking part.

And it will be CFS2. Wink

Hi Maccers! Smiley

I'm still trying to repair that rather shot up Lancaster of mine, the service crew just ask me to avoid you if she ever manages to fly again!  Wink Grin

As most of you guys know, I'm not on-line (STILL!) due to my rather messed up home affairs.......

Anyway, I'll certainly be up for the old dogfight, just as soon as its up & running, I'll try to be there.

As Woodlouse says, Saturday is better for most, Sunday night for me isn't a realistic option, unless, I have yet another all nighter......... Roll Eyes

CFS3 on line isn't bad, I strongly say we keep the dogfight CFS2.

Paul.

For some reason I can't get CFS3 to work with Multiplayer, probably because of my slow internet connection.

CFS2 doesn't run well. It will exit's the game for no apparent reason???

Thanks very much! (j/k)  I know we're often forgotten about in terms of timing, but it's really very easy. Sydney is 10 hrs ahead of GMT Perth 12 hrs. (we're 2 hrs wide Grin)

Seeing as I'm "unearthly" anyway, I'll be there with my four arms, three eyes and slimy, postulated legs.  Grin Grin Grin

(even if it is CFS2)  Tongue                              Grin Grin Grin Grin

Catch ya.... Wink

i like to join to, but i can only fly with CFS3, that's the only combat sim i have.

about the time zones, if the american people can fly at around 1 o'clock pm, it's perfect for me  Grin

Assuming you mean Saturday (US time), that's about 8 - 10 am Sunday in Sydney (depending on US east or west coast) and around 10 pm - Midnight GMT.

If it's all the same to everyone, why don't we, for the purpose of this exercise, all speak in "Simviation time". That way we are already converted and there will be no mistakes. (Just have to get the day right  Grin)

P.S. I'm not sure there are many people who have CFS3 running  fast enough to use online.  Embarrassed Cry

To play CFS3 online effectively you need a super-computer and broadband. If you don't have either then you get a slow connection and a really jumpy game. So we stick with CFS2 I'm afriad.

I'll try to catch Maccers or Scania on MSN at some point to arrange the finer points. When that is settled the details shall be posted and we'll see what happens.
