I have no definite time slot Frank, though I will be on tomorrow evening (14th July) and probably Sunday, I'll go on the FI TS as soon as I'm on.

Frank, I've posted a couple of videos(three) on youtube of our LaGG3 flight, obviously nothing doing in the way of combat, was just testing the recording function of my Nvidia card. watch them at the following -

Thank you for posting them, Vin! :)

TAW is back, had to register the squad again, anyone interested in this will have to register on the site and then I can add them to the squad.

OK, I've registered boys. Please add me Vin.

Will fly a sortie or 2 tonight if I find time; plan to do more tomorrow (evening your time) unless plans change. Hope to fly with any others who can join.

I have downloaded Discord. Have either of you used it? TAW admins recommend it; apparently they have a TAW channel with news & such. They say it's the best source for keeping up on the latest for TAW.
Aside from that, I had it on my old PC & used it several times. Vocals are MUCH clearer than on TS, and it's free (no server to pay for). We might try using it if others are willing.

Hiya, Larry!

I'm quite glad to see you bacvk online again. I hope that this hurricane didn't affect you much in your part of the woods. :shock: :)

I'll be online on Sunday yet I'm not sure if we'll be able to join the TAW server since it's been pretty much crowded lately ... :?

And I've downloaded and installed Discord. What's your handle on it?

Gen0sse :D

Hi Frank, thanks. No, no impact in my area except for 'refugees' staying in shelters in our area as well as many other cities in the state. I do have a number of friends & family that Harvey affected though. Some lost most or all posesssions, but living through it is the main thing. Those losses are tough but they will recover in time.

As for Discord, my handle's the same as in the game: =FI=Blue2
A few people appear to be using Discord for comms on TAW, some still using the TAW TS channel, but most apparently talking on their own private channels (although some will welcome 'guests'). We should try out Discord sometime soon & see how we like it. Only down side is no whisper channel capability, which isn't important unless you're trying to coordinate big groups. I suspect they're trying to develop it eventually.

Flew TAW for almost 3 hours last night with several others & had a great time! Yeah, may be tough to get on there tomorrow, we'll see.

Cheers!

That's four of us registered for TAW now, Frank, Larry, Aaron and me. I see Larry has opened his scoring account. Hopefully get on tonight, just to sownload this discord thing.

Discord may be the thing eventually, but for today I suggest just meeting as normal on FI teamspeak. Not sure Aaron has/uses Discord either.

Off for a bike ride; plan to join you guys right after my post-ride shower.

Ah, I'm catching on to this Discord thing, gradually. I see we need BOTH a handle AND a Discord "tag number" to send a friend request.
My tag number is #0795.
