Brennus Urban Legend Hotshot Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 5066 Loc: Detroit, Mich.	This was my first attempt at goin' online w/ "Rise of Flight: The First Great Air War"! I approached Biff w/ the idea after he had announced that he was gonna spend some time playin' ArmA II, and after a few false starts and some technical difficulties, we managed to squeeze in ~1 hour of actual flyin'. It was difficult for us to find each other over the front, which resulted in a grand total of just 2 dogfights between myself and Biff, both w/ mixed results. My engine died during our first dogfight after I went inverted and I was too low to recover, and Biff suffered a similar situation during our last dogfight in which he was forced to ditch his plane in the water before I could finish him off! Although it was difficult for us to get started, I'm still very interested in expanding on the experience, and Biff had also expressed a desire to participate in more online dogfights. If anyone is interested, feel free to speak up! _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

It's funny, and a little sad really, because after all of these years of flight simulation experience, this is only my second online experience! My first was a couple of years ago when Dart invited a few of us "Armed Assault" grunts to fly some "IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946". I remember havin' fun, but up until tonight, that was it. I can't really explain why I've neglected the online community, but I think I'm finally ready to jump in! An ArmA II regular online squadron would be cool... _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

Dart Contributing Editor Just upgraded from intern Veteran Registered: 09/02/01 Posts: 16536 Loc: Alabaster, AL USA	Oooh, RoF multiplayer is the ultimate in Humility Therapy! Just when I think I've gotten pretty good in the sim I hop into a server and get taken down a notch or two. I have got to learn to pilot more than the N17, as its rarely available, and these other planes are too fast and zippy! _________________________ The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

And now that I have my technical issues worked out I will need to work on learning how to fly these things. _________________________ "My doctor says I wouldn't get so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger out of there." - Ralph Wiggum
