We've talked in the regular group about sticking together for some other games, like Star Citizen when it comes out but also some other titles. I don't think MWO is going anywhere, but we might add something to the mix. Some DCS is going on already a little bit, and Arma3 is also coming out soon. Anything else the group might be interested in that I should be aware of? And if you guys have Splinter Cell Blacklist, I'll be up for some co-op in a week or so after finishing the campaign.
I just picked up trackir 5 and as soon as my swollen joystick goes away...wow...I'm ready to go with dcs. Next week I'm picking up blacklist(free voucher), arma3, and I will try and hold onto my 60% off of a dcs title for a little while (mig21?). I will probably be wondering around my hangar as well. My nights for anything are tues(mwo) and thurs - sat. Any other evenings are iffy. I'm up for whatever.
My trackiR3 died last week, so the 5 will be here Friday! I have ARMA3 (Dev build) DCSW, and DCS A-10C ported into it. My Steam ID is ,..oddly enough, Jarhead_ed. I will be up for some ARMA 3 if you need another body. My A-10 skills are,..lacking, since I really need to learn the systems and map the HOTAS.

One day a week is plenty enough time with you guys.
Forget it!!!
Just kidding.
That would be cool.
I have actually had the itch to pickup a flight sim again.
I have Falcon BMS installed (but would have to relearn it).
I installed DCS World, but don't have any modules yet.
Own Arma3, I would like to play this online with you guys. The regular Arma nights at SimHQ are generally a bad time for me. Later is better, as you guys know for me.
I was tempted to pick up Borderlands 2, heard the coop was really good on it.
So, I guess, ya, interested, not sure what nights though.

I'm kind of like Feet on the nights, and something fixed in place is a lot easier to deal with. Thurs would be possible, about the usual time 9CST, but Fri might work out well too. The kids usually have their things going on and my wife usually crashes early.
Chivalry would be a hoot with this group, I've already got it. Arma3 is probably a safe bet so I should probably grab that. Covers a lot of content. I have DCS World with FC3. That's probably as deep into sim as I need to go, but they're all in one game anyway, right?
Any kind of racing? I've got Simbin's titles covered up through GTR2, Evo, '07 & Race On. rFactor somewhere, but don't care for it. Shift 1 & 2, Grid (original), Test Drive Ferrari (haven't even launched it yet though), Dirt 2 & 3. Haven't done much racing in the last year or more, might need to get the G27 out again.
I think I have War Thunder downloaded, but need to get acquainted with it. I have Gaijin's Apache, Wings of Prey.
Any mmo's worth looking at as a group that are preferably free?
Just throwing things out there. Other than Arma3, which I think is a safe bet.
I can vouch for the fun of Borderlands 2 in co-op, but its strictly 4 player.
I have DCS A-10 and have yet to set up my HOTAS for it....but I was once proficient with Black Shark.
ARMA3 looks great, but I'm on the fence as I bought and never found enjoyment in ARMA2 largely due to the cumbersome interface (that damn backpack was crazy IMO) and my complete lack of skill.

I hear ya. I hate the control system in that game. I never did learn it. I'm hoping A3 is better about it and they put some thought into it.
Arma3 and DCS are definitely good options we've talked about, and I have many of the other sims/games mentioned and even if I didn't I'm pretty much game for picking something up if the rest of you guys will be playing it, nice rowdy fun crew we have and I think we would have fun playing most decent games :-)

If you guys end up with SC Blacklist, Spies vs Mercs would be a hoot. And geared towards small groups. Haven't ventured in there yet, but should be fun....yet frustrating. LOL

I have the first one. It's pretty fun, but I've only played with bots. Very fast paced, but the objectives are good. Picked up Arma3 today. Does seem to be a little easier to understand. Got killed immediately on the scuba mission after going on land. LOL Also Americas Army Proving Grounds is out. Different than the original, much faster paced, but not bad.
Arma 3 DCS Rise of Flight IfI get it installed again BMS IL2 FSX Arma 3 Borderlands 2 Ghost Recon Rainbow Six 3 Total War And a bajillion others that I won't htink of unless they are mentioned.
I'm good most evenings any time, may change now that I am on the flightline but for now Im good whenever in the evening, with random days I won't because of a study group or sim that runs late.
Or my flight jacks up and we are on formal release until 8PM or some such crap lol.
Friday and Saturday I can almost 100% guarantee I will be free after 4-5pm
so lets get some games together!!
Flying tonight methinks, unless a preponderance of ppl show up and convince me otherwise

I've got most Rainbow Six games, but not Vegas ones. I think. Somewhere. OGR was lost long ago, but I can't go that old school anymore anyway. I've got GRAW 1 & 2. Op Flashpoint Dragon Rising. SWAT 4/Stet expansion would be great, I think you can do 8 in co-op? I have Total War Shogun 2 but can barely play it.
Maybe we need to narrow down to a genre first? LOL Or rotate weekly until we find a favorite.
