I always accept a join request

This is a good idea!

I am not on as much as those above, nor as good, but I am patient and more than willing to help.

I too always accept join requests if I am not in a fight. I keep the join requests in the text buffer so the popup dosen't get me killed so it may take me a min or two to see the message, so don't get disharted if I dont immediately respond with the .accept message. I am not as good as some of the others but I am trying so join up maybe you can teach me something too.

I get stage fright !!

Seriously...i'll be having a halfway decent night at the stick, giving as much as I get and HOing every Nik I can find, when someone will send a jon request....I let 'em in, and immediately what little I do know about flyng and fighting in this game goes out the window!....suddenly i cant even break left without falling backwards out of the sky, and as for shooting stuff...forget it

H he, having said that, I'm fine for taking on passengers, if I''m on, feel free to join up.

I have no problems letting someone on a ride a long. I'd even go so far as to invite people who don't have anyone to wing with to come Rooks, and find my squad in the arena. We do some pretty good wingman tactics, and have often had people from other teams fly with us for a while to see what we do.

I tend to forget I've got a passenger completely.

Just sitting in a cockpit watching really helped me when I first started though, I was having a hell of a time getting used to this sim and I hitched a ride with Hangtime one night in a P51D.......Citabria was flying in the area as well so I got to watch two pro's do their thang.

Steve · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2003, 01:10:06 AM »

I let people join any time.

Hajo · « **Reply #22 on:** June 10, 2003, 01:50:58 AM »

I let people join frequently also...s'ok with me if they want to see how to die in a Jug

Average stick but always willing to take on riders. Just PLEASE ASK 1st on the radio before typing the join request. I've gotten the popup at the worst times...

How do you do this?

Shane · « **Reply #24 on:** June 10, 2003, 09:41:24 AM »

type /.showjoin

I'll be glad to demonstrate the proper method of lawndarting.

Quote from Shane:

if i use terms that are unfamilar, just ask and i'll do my best to explain them.

I would especially recommend you ask Shane about the term 'Slobberdonkey'

Pepe · « **Reply #26 on:** June 10, 2003, 12:15:04 PM »

Ready to accept joiners. At the very least, you will have a lot of chances to "unjoin"

and my response would be: look in your mirror.

I always worry I'm not showing them good habits like Shane and Manx do. But if they wish to be bored watching how best to loose your tail section quickly,,by all means.

Would be glad to have riders. Rode with WarDog in his 51D when I first started, helped a ton.
