So, really, it's gonna be a confluence of simmers, gamers, and griefers. I'm only worried about the griefers. The gamers will go do their own thing and not care if we're still sitting on the ground programming an FMC while they're punching holes in the sky in a fighter. 😉 A good analysis @eslader - based on what we know so far. I'm encouraged from the Multiplayer Feature vid that we'll be able to fly solo, in groups - was it "Shards" - he called them - where we arrange to meet up online and fly in a private group - or just go full in to the 100 nearest aircraft to us - whoever they are - Gamers/ Simmers/ Griefers. In other words - I think they've put filters in place which will allow us to do all you describe above. "Phew!" to say the least. Edited July 9, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

Quote Quick history lesson: MMORPG servers have been referred to as "shards" for a long time. The reason for this was the lore behind the original Ultima Online. In that game, the wizard Mondaine bound the world of Sosaria into a crystal orb in order to magically control its destiny. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

July 10, 20205 yr It's pretty simple really: If you nearly stall the engine midflight because you forgot to reset the mixture axis after the last time you flew a week ago, if you are wearing your 10-year-old JBL headphones, and if you are using a pdf approach plate you found online while you paused the flight (and then go ahead and land on the wrong runway, anyway), you're a gamer. If you've memorized the POH, are wearing a Bose aviation headset, and have a Jeppesen subscription, then you're a simmer.

"Over" means you are done talking and awaiting a reply. "Out" means you are done talking and not listening for a reply. 🤣 It must be right because I’ve heard it in films. 😁 Finishing the reply with just Out might not have been that clear for the uninitiated. Or maybe it’s another difference in comms between our two countries. 😉 Ray (Cheshire, England).

July 11, 20205 yr I don't know how much time people have spent on military radio networks, but I got stuck with it every time we went to the field, more often than I'd have liked. While I know very well that "Roger, Wilco, Over and Out" is improper military radiotelephone procedure (RTP) I'm still amused when someone uses it. Outside military networks, of course. 1 hour ago, Will Fly For Cheese said: Understood. Out. "Roger, Out" is proper usage. 🙂 However, do not say "Out" to someone of higher rank than you. I once heard a colonel chew a guy's derriere for 10 minutes straight over the radio for saying "Out" to end the conversation instead of deferring to the higher rank. "Roger, Over" 🙂 Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
July 11, 20205 yr It all depends on where you are and what you're doing and what you're being told. Roger - means you've received the transmission. That's all. It dates back to when messages were passed in morse code - and quite often as cypher so the radio operator used 'R' to simply acknowledge receipt of the transmission without having a clue as to what the transmitted message was. So 'Roger' is very different to 'Understood'. It's a fundamental difference that mustn't be got wrong. Similarly, difference between Understood and Wilco.
July 11, 20205 yr Over and out is proper and required radio terminology at my Railroad. I usually don't say it out of laziness, but they can write me up for not saying both at the end of my radio calls any day they want. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.
