Hello Andrew: I am a German native speaker and would like to offer my help for translating into German. Please let me know if you have any use for me..... Thank you! Jürgen

Yees George, the more flexibility there is built in, the better, just not a standard delay priciple or something like that My 2 cts ? P.S. It would be interesting to know what the statistics on other networks tell us about peak attendance numbers and the average day....

It would, sure and no doubt about that, but seeing what is going on both in VATSIM and IVAO I fear that for about 90% of the time there is either no ATC or not many flights, the exception being organised events like a fly-in, Cross the Atlantic, perhaps even an exam session for a new controller somewhere in the world.... In my opinion such a rule should be foreseen but only be enforced if the need arises. And a real life strike action is no reason I find, because this is still a GAME and HOBBY, not a professional endeavor.

Yes George, you said it before and I agree with you. No need as a standard feature, but laid down in the rules and regulations that there CAN be delays if the need arises due to high traffic and overload for the ATC system. That should be enough, I guess ?

You are certainl right Andrew, we are an endangered species anyway...... But I still would rather not suppor the whole idea, because it will probably not be ncessesary, as you seem to expect too ?

My first reaction was: Sure, let´s do this, but the more I read the more I start to think that it is hardly feasable and not even needed except for events where high traffic can be exptected. On "normal" days this would just scare me away unless I had time enough at hand and are a "points collector"..... So, at this time I would like to change my vote above, but I can´t

I know, Jonas, but I have seen things like "Europe, at a minimum the UK" or similar, and as far as I know the UK is in Europe, even still in the EU for some time. that is why I added the extent I had in mind. If we talk about countries here only, then that would mean the whole list of them as far as I can see. Personally, my favorites are already on the wishlist, so no problem with that. Have a great day!

no, probably not.... But I am willing to learn and ask: what would be the advantage of such an arrangement?

Free is certainly good, but to be honest, I would not mind paying a small fee like I do for a few other online games....... If it keeps the system runnind smoothly, I am willing to contribute my little share.

EUROPE by all means, please! And that includes ALL countries from the Atlantic coast to the Ural mountains in Russia.... Thank you Juergen

John is right I am afraid, not much happening here it seems.... Perhaps we are all missing the action, and if so, I would appreciate som links to where to look for more... THANK YOU Andrew, for giving us a few leads perhaps. Cheers Juergen

It seems there is not much movement here.... What does that mean? Are those registered here simply lazy or is everyone on vacation since Christmas? Just wondering why there is nothing happening here at all .....

it is a shame how DEAD this forum seems to be... ?
