The forums are only showing a small window of the attraction this game is having on the young crowd and the appeal of aviation. I was hosting a mp session last night and you could just tell by the way a lot of them talked and some of the screen names used (number at the end of their name is a lot of times the year they were born ie: spitfire1995) that they were younger.. I for a good hour just sat back and observed the little mini society develop. There was the `natural leader' who kind of helped everyone or suggest things like "let's all swarm another airport ok? LOL".. And a bunch would follow. Friendships were being formed, tricks taught, how to reconfigure key bindings etc. They were a good well behaved bunch.. I as usual when I plan to keep the host up all night told them "I'm keeping this up all night while I sleep so get comfy and enjoy yourself as there will be no untimely host disconnects tonight".. Bunch of thank yous.. Asked if they wanted the weather to be anything different and I remember one said "Whatever you want boss, we're just along for the ride". Was funny.. I really hope MS see's what their MP is developing into and I'd have to think even for them it might have been a bit surprising at how well it is taking off (no pun intended). I want them to develop it. Would be great if they could let people make their own server names and people would have a choice to bookmark them. For instance let's say I created a server on there and named it "Bills Hangout".. You could bookmark it.. Then check your bookmarks.. If I was online and hosting it would say so "Bills Hangout - Online" and offline if I wasn't.. Would make it soooo much more easier to find a good host and have a collective place to meet up with people.Just an FYI also. I will be leaving my game open tonight again.. If you want a dedicated MP session to fly in without fear of the host dropping out add me "styckx" and you can join my session.I'll be putting it up around 6pm EST and will be up until the next day.. Usually when I do this the busiest times are between 6pm and 3-4am. I went to bed last night around 1am and still had 14 people flying in my session.. Woke up at 9am and it was empty.

Friend request sent. Could you hear my voice comms or see my text chat while I was in your game?

I don't have any text in my chat window.. I might not have had my headphones on.. I was busy for awhile fighting with a piece of junk joystick.

Weird, is there a bug with text chat?! :(
