With the temporary loss of Frugals and the associated squadron recruiting forum, the opportunity for squadrons to recruit new members from the Falcon community is unavailable at the moment.

To that end the 801st Tactical Fighter Wing is seeking new recruits to join our group - if anyone is interested, please take a look at our website for further details:

Thanks for the link, Rebel. I'm very interested in Falcon 4 squadron as well, but since I just started re-learning my flying skills, I've decided to start with the 'easier' Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2. I will keep this in mind for when I move on back to F4 though. biggrin

Thanks Rebel,

What version(s) of F4 do you fly?

Hi Ice

No need to worry about your flying skills, we have no strict " you must be an ace" rules to join and fly - the idea is that flying online allows you to learn much quicker and have fun along the way.

We have some excellent trainers and a complete program, to take you from the basics all the way to an ace.

Hi HomeFries,

We fly F4 Allied Forces only, at this stage - we do have a unique twist on flying campaigns tho, which helps to spice things up a bit.

Hi again - we fly our rolling campaign weekly over the weekend, since you are fairly close to my timezone - that relates to Saturday Night at 1930 hrs, till late.

We also have a designated frag time which is Sunday morning at about 0730hrs.

Some of the guys fly TE's during the week as well, so there is a reasonable chance to pick up some mid-week flying.

I suggest joining up and doing a few flights with us - all it costs is some of your time and nothing more.

We are very flexible in regard to how often you fly and there are no rules regarding being a member of, and flying with other squads.

Cheers

Anyone looking to join a fighter wing should consider joining two at a time and see which one they like best. That way you can compare the different styles and not feel like you've put a bunch of time into just one fighter wing only to be disappointed weeks later having to look for another to join.

I certainly agree with that point Coco - the 801st TFW has no rules regarding membership and flying with other Wings/Squads, but that doesnt mean that we are not an organised or structured group. Whilst we ceratinly enjoy a bit of fun, our pilots are very serious about their flying and mission/campaign performance.

What the 801st can offer is a great place for new pilots to learn and train along side our experienced pilots, as well as providing an excellent opportunity to join a group of experienced pilots who like to make the most out of Allied Forces.

As a flyer of Falcon 4 since the very early days, I believe that flying Allied Forces is still the best way to get started in this great sim, particularly in multiplayer, where some of the less fancy graphics compared to OF or FF are compensated for by ease of setup and connection, and the great fun of flying online with a group of like minded people.

We have had a great response to our recruitment drive here at SimHQ, thank you to all those pilots that responded and especially those that have joined the 801st TFW.

If anyone here is still thinking about joining an online wing (and you should be), we are more than happy to welcome you to our group.

This especially applies to those pilots who are just getting started, there really is no quicker and fun way of learning and improving your skills than to fly online with a group of dedicated pilots.

So come on - take the first step with us at the 801st TFW and enjoy the experience.

Keep up the great work Rebel and I look forward to flying again this weekend. I can remember when I first started... and that was 5 years ago with F4AF. It sure is awesome to be part of a TFW.

Guys - if you are considering these offers but perhaps wavering due to not possessing a lot of confidence in your flight skills, avionics, and so forth - please consider this: there is arguably no better way to learn sims than by getting together with willing and supportive other guys who are not only knowledgeable but good teachers. So many things that are frustrating or unclear on the page of a manual and when you are alone in the pit, are instantly cleared up with a friend talking it over in pre-flight or in the air. And it is a truly fun and satisfying experience.

Plus, they can't hit you! Smile2

Thanks for the words of wisdom Eugene - absolutely right on. If you are remotely serious about learning and experiencing all that this great sim has to offer, then learning and flying with an on line wing is the best and only way to do it.

Over the years we have had many new members join us with very little experience in flying Falcon and many of them are still flying with us every week as excellent pilots and wing members.

We have 4 Squadrons commissioned under the 801st TFW, so there is plenty of room for new members to join and have a great place to fly.

We are still signing up new wing members almost daily and on behalf of the 801st TFW, I would like to thank SimHQ for allowing us this opportunity to recruit.

There seems to be quite a bit of activity in the F4AF community and a resurgence of interest.

For those who are interested in experiencing Multi-player action, there is no better way than to be part of a Squadron and enjoy flying with and against real human pilots.

There are quite a few Squadrons to chose from, so have a look around and see which one suits your style best.
