Be there or be sqaure

Just reinforced my reasoning for not flying scenarios. Waiting 20 minutes to get a squad invite. Never happened. My second and final time trying to fly a scenario since returning.

Wasn't there but usually you'll need to be there early. I see you waited 20 minutes so I assume you were in fact early. Also, you should try and private message a CM about filing for a side that has a low turnout. Moreover, you should be vocal on chat; join a side and every 3-5min just put a friendly reminder that your down to assist with whatever necessary.

The key with being a walk on is flexibility. You need to be willing to fly whatever for which ever side. Sometimes that is a 262 or an SBD. So there is a catch to being a walk on.

I don't for see anyone blatantly ignoring you. I've been a walk on a lot as well. I get there early and see which side needs numbers... I than get too that side and type on Country channel to see which Squadron needs more people. Follow those steps and I can almost guarantee that you will get a uniform to fly.

There are fun experiences. Don't let past experiences ruin it for you!

I’ve been here for a long time. Every scenario has ended the same. Last time I make that mistake.

ok now Becinhu.... I done got you marked to fill in for Elvis' slot for next week, since he isn't going to be here.... had I known just 2 to 3 minutes sooner, I would have invited you to fill my only open slot, but I invited someone else, because he was 2 to 3 minutes earlier..is neither of your faults... crap happens

There will be room for walk-ons in every frame of this Scenario.....  Sorry that it didn't work out for you this time

Cheers

He was there in time.

If he was saying on channel 2 "guys, I still need an invite into some squad or instructions on what to take off in" and no one replied to him after he asked a couple of times, that doesn't sound so good.

Becinhu, did you say anything on ch. 2 text?

[TequilaChaser]

he did Brooke, multiple times, even after I couldn't take him, their were iirc, F6fs and P-38s slots not filled....I think this is what got him upset

just my view of it

TC

edit: that's enough from me....I had a blast.... I think everyone I talked to did.......now I got a week to rest up for an FSO frame and a Scenario frame, lol

Thanks for throwing this together, <S>

[Bruv119]

f6fs were full soon as walkons came in. 

was a blast!   

[Brooke]

Yikes.  Sorry about that, Becinhu.  If you were calling on ch 2, I'm not sure why you didn't get a plane, as things were not completely full.

If you want to try it again for frame 2, I personally guarantee you a plane -- if you are there, I will not start the frame until you are in a plane and ready to go.

I appreciate it Brooke but I’m done. Not wasting my Saturday to sit in the tower and be ignored.

I understand.  Just to be clear, though, there is no way that would happen if you try it next time -- I will not enable flight until I check with you in person to see that you are settled.  But it is totally up to you, and my best regards to you. <S>!

Just to point out, it’s not always the easiest to see a someone requesting a ride, with people chatting on different vox’s, different text chats being used, and other guys requesting rides. The 38 guys were literally shooting you an invite as you left.

Becinhu, I really think you are shooting yourself in the foot if you give up that easily!  Scenarios are the very best part of Aces High and always great fun to participate in.  The best way to guarantee a place is to register in advance and fly the plane of your choice from the start!  That way you get to be part of the side forums and possibly help with planning each frame, or at least getting to see the plans being made and have a better idea of what will happen on the day.  However, if for any reason you do not register - like being unable to commit to at least 3 of the frames - then walkons are ALWAYS more than welcome.  I can only think it was very bad luck that you didn't manage to get a ride today and I can absolutely guarantee that if you give us another chance you will definitely get one next time - and that you will have a fantastic time as a result.  Please come along next week, and I for one will be watching out for you!
