I really enjoyed playing Ah, but it has cost me allot of sleep (I had to play deep into the night to meet up with US friends). Not sure I want to go back to that way of life.
Well bud, I can relate. Many of my past squadron's where primarily composed out off US players. Flying untill 3-4 am when I still had the energy to do that. Now i am flying more on our timezone. And it has been good.
Besides the Few (UK squadron) I don't know many Europe only squadron's. I have tried putting together a EU squadron half a year ago. But life made it so I didn't had enough time to take care of the squad. The squad was called The Mighty Dutchies. Maybe there where not enough Dutchies flying in it

Anyway you don't have to make it crazy (timewise) to get a lot out of the game. If you want we can fly around in one of the free arenas and see if you get the itch back. There are also scenarios running every few months from 9 to 12 our time. I would encourage you to try those. If your close to Haarlem/leiden I might have a old joystick for you if you don't have any laying around anymore.
Cheers,
