Community Idea - free public servers

[smilodon]

I quite fancy a bash at being Biggles.  How would it work as a multi-player game?

[Sparko]

not quite sure tbh, sulky is the best person to ask......Sulky? :g:

I think we just choose a place to have a hub (airfield) and we just go from there

We could have

The dMw Broken Helmets Stunt Display Team or The Deadmen International Airport


Sounds like a laugh

Ok i would love to see an FSX server, but this game has very limited team play in it. Yes you can set up a server and play with loads of ppl online, yes you can log onto vatsim and have some guy sitting at his computer doing the ATC for you. Yes you can fly as part of an airline doing trans atlantic routes, but how many ppl are willing to spend the time in front of the computer to do it? The round the world thing i was doing was taking up to 3 hours at a time, i could have just taking a few days off work and done some 8 hr pond hops and dada.. complete, but i wanted it to be fun, i would like to do the round the world thing with other ppl flying as well. A guy in america did it and with the same rules as me where his community decided his next destination but he had to always fly n,w,or s never e, it took him a year, with 2-3 flights a week, but he did it multiplayer and he had fun. So that could be good
 
 
Now IL2 is another thing altogether, you set up co-op missions people pick a side and then you play, you are already arranged into flights. The idea is to get to, or protect a target(sound familiar) and beleive it or not when the inevitable dogfight begins, the teammwork and voice comms between team members is awesome. Highly recommended

The dMw Broken Helmets Stunt Display Team

i like the sound of that!, would be great if we got a display team sorted or somthing

[sulky_uk]

downloading the fsx server stuff so i can host a game, just when does anyone want to give it a try... and can we use a ts channel if we do?

[TeaLeaf]

TS is available of course, feel free to use the dMw TS server.  I've even set up a channel for you.

TL.

Maybe there should be another thread started for this game (if there hasnt already) And a download link

[delanvital]

Can anyone think of other suggestions for games to spread the dMw name?

I have made a thread for that here
