I logged on the other day to find that someone's been moving gold around. Maybe at least a few are still playing. When? How often?
I guess lepper is right, we are too old now to spend more than 2 hours per year for the game. But I'm ready to join the party. We can start poll for the party in April/May.
Yes, that were good old days... 15 years ago... We had plenty of time. Now we have work, wifes, children and so on... so i think that meeting more people on freehost once a month is good solution Only 10-15 pilots on arena will be good fun for everybody. We must agree on some date - for example first/last saturday evening every month or something like that. Mixer, as i remember you were forum moderator - please make some kind of sticky announcement, it is better if more people read tihs. How about freehost server? Will it be up next years? I don't want it to suddenly disappear.
we need AI to run Warbirds.97 as an horde of bots so it will be interest to defend fields and sometime to meet real human behind the joystick
Great fun if online has AI planes !!! If FHWB is really considering to close-down the online arena, then how about making available an offline personal options add-on ? I'm sure there are some of us still alive that would like to customize the offline version in simple ways. One option I would like is to change the AI planes. This way the player can select the opposing side plane type, either one type exclusively or a set of planes. If it's possible, it would be fun to experiment with different load-outs on AI planes as well as the selected plane and have optional load-outs although not offered in the online game, but available in offline play. Personally I would pay for a offline game "experimenters tool kit" add-on app. Even at this day and age, there are some die-hards that like to fly the WW2 air war game still.
