I'm trying to get 3 more P-38 pilots for the "Clash Over Cassino" scenario running Saturdays in October.

Anyone have advice on how I can get them to join us?

I post to the message board.  But most pilots in AH don't read the message board.

I ask people to ask their friends, but I'm not sure people do that.

I've asked FSO folks to mention it to the FSO crowd, which I think they've done.

Any suggestions?

I just haven't had the time or cash to build a new rig from scratch, I ended up junking all my old stuff. I've been looking, but it will be a while. I wish I could.

Hey, you are near me!  I live in Franklin, TN.

I could loan you a system for the scenario that will play AH.  I could drive it over to you if you are in Murphreesboro.

Whaddya say?

All the above, and then some.

I'm available time wise but can't justify paying for an account for the scenario only. Not sure if TOS allows for flying on an account that's unused during the scenario... Just thought I'd throw it out that I'm available and will fly anything that needs flying if needed.

I appreciate the kind offer. Yes, I'm in Murfreesboro. But I'm not one to borrow things like that.

Do you have a monitor or anything? I might be able to put something together for you that would run AH3. I have a pile of computer parts lolz. Would you take a donation instead of borrowing?

OK, but . . . this is an old computer system that I keep in my closet specifically to lend to folks for playing a scenario with me.

It's not otherwise lent out this scenario.  It's old but enough to run basic AH.  Last time I did that was several scenarios ago. I imagine that system sitting there, in the closet, wishing someone would fly it in a glorious scenario.  :aok

So, what if your pal Brooke shows up with with it for you to use for a month?  And I take us out for lunch, and we can chat?  That would be fun!

Let's do it, ok?  :aok

The ol'38  :joystick: . Still check the forums from time to time. Like to but I have cancelled my account as I paid for far too many months that I did not even play. Tell Hollywood I said hello

A lot of the guys who fly with me in scenarios only fly in scenarios.

So they make an account for scenario, then cancel account after scenario.
