I enjoyed it. I would like to see them run four or so times a year during to off weeks. I would like to see a PTO one run sometime. The slot....the Philippines...PNG...maybe a CBI.


Enjoyed it  :cheers:

It was very fun, but I'd like to see future events maintain FSO standard icons throughout the event.

I wouldn't mind seeing some targets for the strike minded players to hit, and to give the fighter jocks some more planes to hunt.

Wouldn't that make it a normal FSO frame?

Only thing I'd change is that icon range stays the same throughout.  I was very happy with this event and will do it again ASAP.

I've been asking for a while for a WW1 frame just for a good time.  Perhaps we can get one in this format!?

I liked the short ICON range, it really made communication important and after watching the film and seeing how close bad guys really were gave the OH CRAP moment.

Yes, off weeks would be great for this.  My wife will be very upset, but I don't care if she is upset. Lets fly!   :bolt:

  Gentleman,

    Not being a regular 47 or 51 pilot I thought I did pretty good but don't really know the flight characteristics of either planes. So my question is, I had a few squad members who do fly both planes and they said that there seemed to be a difference in the way the planes handled compared to other arena's, did anyone else find the same?.
 
  The squad had a blast and is waiting on the next challenge but as c/o they had asked me to inquire about it.

   :salute

Interesting question, I'm not much of a stick so I noticed nothing different but my son was beside himself that his birds weren't responding quite rite. We dismissed it as he was just visiting and we assumed the issue was hardware--maybe not!
