Those of you who have been around for a while know this has been brought up before. When we tried to run an F4:AF campaign, a few people logged in, but not that many. Different time, so I'll bring the question up again. If you're not interested, NP, but please vote. Thank you!

Do you mean a weekly event like Military Monday for ArmA or the Sunday races?

I'd love to have a place to fly F4AF online that doesn't require the rigmarole of joining a squadron but I'm admittedly flakey so I don't know about making it every week. I voted yes since there isn't a "I'd love to fly when I can make it" option.

Format options open, but I'm thinking a campaign would keep running 24/7, and when someone wants to drop in they can. Then we would have a "set" 2-3 hour time/date each week which would be the crowds time to join, chat, throw food, trash talk, and fly in the campaign. So yeah, close to the ArmA 2 and rFactor setup we have now.

Sounds intresting. I'm with Jeevz, if it would be a "fly when it suits you"-event I'd probably fly, although it's hard to say when or how much. Voted "Yes".

We have 4 of us that fly campaigns regularly on Fridays nights that is open to anyone. Sometimes we'll get an extra pilot or two to join us but not very often. I voted Yes.

If I could fly, I would....I just suck and can't afford the hours I'd need to get to where I would need to be to fly.

absolutely yes. public 24/7 server would be really really really nice.

This would be incredibly sweet!
This would allow even me from italy to partecipate...

GOLLY!
I'm IN!

I voted yes ,but I live in Norway ,so it kind of depends on ping too.

Sure. Would be great to get involved again. Dawgman, OzCougar and that crew are great to fly with and I regret that other stuff has taken me away from those campaigns. So would depend on the evening.

Short answer. Yes.

Depending on My Work Schedule Raptor would be In as well

Voted yes, despite still having problems with the steep lurning curve, but at least I know how to steer after landing.
Sometimes I see online session going on at hyperlobby, but since I am a rookie, I never joined, not willing to ruin other's fun.
Also, because of my work, I do not know when I have free time for flying, so 24/7 server would be a miracle.
I think you can learn 1000 times faster from a human, than from a manual, and for that I need online gaming, none of my friends are playing F4.
Thanks for asking!

Yea, I would be game! Evenings after 9:00pm best during weekday, if possible.

I am now well versed in flying and remaining in formation, though I do not have the brevity language down as concise as it should be, but it would be fun to finally begin flying online after a long time off when I used to hop in at Multivipers years ago.

Might wanna specify exactly what version you intend to use. The FreeFalcon5 is free, might find some flyers in that community. tell me off if i'm talkin out my arse.

F4:AF for its online stability.

Hi everyone.

I fly regularly and we have our own frag time on Saturdays. I'm sure we can gather 6-8 pilots if there were other pilots to fly with here on SimHQ. We believe the key to having a successful campaign though is to have a bit of a set time as opposed to a "free wheeling" campaign as pilots may log on at all different times of the week and miss each other never quite sure when other pilots may be flying. In some instances, we've had pilots miss each other as one pilot would log off after waitng a few hours for others to show, only to have someone else log on minutes later.

If I may offer a suggestion... Maybe a 24hour window to fly a campaign ie. 2300GMT Friday till 2300GMT Saturday allowing for the US/Canada, Europe and Australasian pilots to attend and have a real good showing.

I VOTE YES!

Would it be a strict sim campaign-like the ArmA one, with radio calls, F-16 only? or would it be a modified validAC.bin file so we could bring other assets to the fight with an F-16 cockpit?

Can we fly it with the people of our squad?
We fly regularly every friday 22:00 hs up to 12:00 hs (-3 GMT) a campaing but now we dont have a server. And also very often we also fly wednesdays. The problem we have is that we dont a haver a server, we must use a pilot to host decreasing performance of the connections .

72 pilots is one hell of a package. What's the max number of players AF can handle reliably?
