It is clear, from so many different people seeing different things, that there are some problems within the FSO server (disco's, radar, game clock issues, etc.). Overall there were 21 disco's and I do understand that all of them are not due to this particular server, being that there are so many variables with having an internet disconnection. Also, mistakes are made here and there (flight time issues, poor setup, arena settings, etc.). It happens, and they are usually dealt with and the event goes on.
From reading the topics in this forum I can also see that putting together a seamless FSO event is difficult at best, time consuming, and will never truly make everyone's individual experience an outstanding one. I have never set up an FSO.
FSO's can be a blast, I do enjoy them overall which is why I fly in them. Having said that, there are some problems that the community points out, sometimes mistakes are made. It's ok, these things happen, but don't come up with excuses here and there. Own the problems or the mistakes. There was clearly a mistake here with the time issue of re-upping. There is clearly a problem with the server showing radar flashing for some and not others. Disconnections are a problem some of us have only in FSO, no other arena's. We all post problems with the intent of them being addressed, if nothing is said then there must not be any problems right? It makes for a very negative effect when things get swept under the carpet.
