Just checking in with you fellas. Have some great memories of flying with you guys in the early ROF days.
Not sure if you have had some of the same struggles over the last year or two that we have had. We were alternating between ROF and Il2 Sturmovik 1946 and than started moving towards BOS. Others dabbled in COD and DCS. We had so many factions flying different sims various folks would leave our weekly meeting right after if thier sim of choice was not up that night. Combining that with a few folks migrating away from flight sims completely have seen our numbers drop.
Some got tired of keeping up with all the patches in Il2, others really preferred WW1 flying over WW2 ( and some the other way around)
We went cold turkey and tried flying just BOS for awhile figuring if we focused on a single sim things would improve. A beautiful sim, lots of potential....but have hit a few walls along the way both in learning curve, complicated mission building, buggyness and slow path to improvements. Biggest frustration (that I think is now solved) was AI becoming passive in Multiplayer. Just killed Co-ops for almost four months. Not sure if it is the heavy focus on the Russian sandbox, but we are still struggling to find the "heart" in this sim.
All that being said, we are thinking of going back to a ROF, BOS rotation. We fly on Tuesday nights regularly 6:30 pacific ( might be late for you guys)
Not looking to air any dirty laundry, just wondering what you are flying these days and when and how your attendance is doing, perhaps see if there is potential for collaboration in the future.
If you prefer to PM me with thoughts and suggestions that would be fine too
Salute
