squads or individuals wanted
« on: October 11, 2009, 11:15:53 AM »
We are trying to resurrect the AVA. We are looking for some squads and individuals that would be interested in flying in the AVA. We already have a few squads that will start becoming a regular part of the AVA, but we are looking for more interested parties.

the focus will be on all the fun stuff. missions, basetaking, furballs and yes even a war! what we're asking is just a list of people that would be interested that we could contact and have direct contact with. its always open to everyone no matter what, but we just like to get an idea of interest.

we like bomber groups, fighter groups, escort groups, groups that like just axis or just allies. we'd like individuals also. don't feel you can join in if you're not part of a squad, we'd like you to try it out, you might find a squad that you could fit in with!

anyway feel free to reply to this thread!

As a Noob I have to ask,,,,,,what is the AVA?
Takeoffs are optional, landings aren't
Vini Vedi Velcro

The historical matchup thing is what I am most interested in, problem is I work Wed thru Sat evenings and Sunday the wife-ack is insurmountable.

I'll keep an eye on it and log in if there's ever anyone on when I fly, and if you ever have anything going on Mon-Tue, I'd like to hear about it.

You guys.  I assure you that Larry and JG-54 have change.  What Captin1ma, I and some others are trying to do is get everybody together and find ways to make AvA better.  We want everybody to put in their suggestions on what could be done, not so much on arena set-ups but makeing a FSO like events.

Good call.  Ignore the people who actually flew the real planes against each other.

Sometimes "mounting" wife-ack is the best way to make it less lethal to play time...  :D


The last few times I've been able to make it into the AvA, the setups have been great. If you're worried about "balance" go stand on your head. If you like more historical planesets than what's in the LW arenas...then the AvA is a lot of fun. Anyone who participates in the FSO, SEC, Snapshots or Scenarios should be checking it out, because you like historical setups. If you have ideas, pass them along...right now the general idea is to put FSO type setups in there just so those of us who participate can get added practice...and the guys who are trying to get things going deserve a lot of credit.


 :aok  :salute  :cheers:
Great job to the fellas making the attempt for the rest of us.

I think that is excellent. One suggestion to maximize participation is to keep it accessible to walk ons as well as squads.
Another is to try to schedule on days and times when there are no other special events running.

Thats one of the rules that we are placing in the events, walk on aloud.

First suggestion is easy...done  :aok No better way to get people without squads into FSO type setups and let them see for themselves how much fun the rest of us are having (of course unlike FSO, respawns are enabled).

Second suggestion the guys are working on. I'm pretty sure the setups are there for a week(?), Oldman, Shifty and Jaeger would know better than me.

I would fly in the AVA arena but most of the time there is no one in there.

Love to fly the 109 series
