Hi CJD!
Here's hoping that the winter months will see some of us drawn to getting some more virtual flying-time! The best way to find us is checking out the TS monitor at the foot of the forum's homepage - As BD says best times are around 1930 - 2000 (UK time) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Now you've got full forum access you should be able to find our TS password (I think you can log into our server by clicking on the aforementioned monitor). Thanks to Bounder and Conky (and many members not so active these days) we have a real treasure-trove of coop missions waiting to be flown. We do these using a player's PC as the server, so you'll need to get on TS to get their IP address before joining.
I have to confess that I'm one of the many who don't fly very often these days. Mostly it's real life getting in the way, but also my main interest in combat flightsims is PvP rather than taking on the AI (I should hasten to add that I'm not very good at PvP - it's just more of an experience and less of a videogame for me). Back in the day we had enough regular jockeys (about 6-8 I reckoned on) to make a go of a sort of team death-match mode once a week, but now we're down to 2-3, so coops are the only viable mode. Sadly, I'm finding that mode less attractive than other ways of spending my limited free time on weekdays.
Shit, sorry, doom and gloom! I will keep checking TS and join up for a chat and a fly when I can. Chuffy's is such a great institution that we've got to keep it alive!
