Chaps
Let us not forget that tidesofwar.net maintains a STANDALONE IL2PF Server on Hyperlobby. This can act as a "Recruitment Post", "Farm Team", "Operational Training Unit", etc. It is there to support those fresh to the game and that buy IL2PF and have not got the Forgotten Battles and ACE required for the emerged version. It is also about the only permanent Host in that arena.
Whatever we call it, it was nearly full recently, 10 players! TBar and I entered, introduced ourselves and flew with some pretty good chaps, most of which did not seem to belong to any teams. All seemed to be pretty good basic pilots and would be worth considering.

meg - Toulon, France
Everyone had a good time, joined the open IL2 channels in TS and worked well together. Later on Barracuda joined in too.
What I am really saying is - Chop across to Pacific Fighters in Hperlobby now and again just to take a look. There are some good chaps there and please make them aware that TOW is available for them to use inc TS and if any of them want to form a Team/Sqd/Clan, ToW can host them.
Thanks

I'm assuming I have to reload the stand alone version of PF?
You are correct, and thats why I havent done so already..LOLI'm assuming I have to reload the stand alone version of PF?
Will upload it-then patch it up-why not it could be fun.
Guys, please don't feel pressured for SA.
Many ToW folks only have PF, not merged, obviously most of the folks that fly that server don't have merged. There is a large group of pilots that walked into a store, picked up PF, like it, and fly it, but not inclined to buy the rest of the games and figure out the install/patch process.
When I was a member of Vbf-12, I realized right off that SA was a great platform to use as a 'farm team' and/or recruit vehicle. Many of the pilots on SA are very, very good. Some might enjoy a 'step up'and experience what vbf-12 was and what MCVG-2 is.
Tides desperatly needs to attract new members. If experienced 'good guys' like those of MCVG-2 fly that server from time to time it might result in new pilots for other ToW groups such as your own, or maybe even establishment of new groups. PF SA pilots don't have a lot of servers to fly on, or a lot of squad choices to join. IL2 is established for so long that the majority of that community is 'merged'. Merged is very hard for Tides to break into as there are so many well established sites/orgs/and groups. SA is an opportunity for Tides to get a foot in the door in the IL2 community.
As Bostimax says:
It would be a great service to Tides of War if pilots such as yourself joined the SA server from time to time, promote Tides and have change of pace .. and some fun! Just don't feel pressured to do so, we do need the LW server busy also!

Our Tides Air Marshal is a cunning fellow, he realizes that the SA server is a vehicle, a platform to help bring in new blood and at the same time to have fun. We must use our servers to keep them!Will upload it-then patch it up-why not it could be fun.

Hey the SA server went down today around 1630 hrs EST. Cuda and I were flying in same when it kicked us out.
Also there was a pilot callsign: Pothead sitting on the runway teamkilling his mates.

With the "new" box pack coming out 30 Mar it may eliminate the need for a stand alone
Would the Tow Air Marshal be the appropriate party to report server problems and misbehaving pilots to ?
I keep getting a message that Hyperlobby can't find my Exe file for the SA...
As JAG, I think dropping a bomb or two on the offending pilot would Suffice...maybe napalm....

Where and whom to report Game Server problem and abuses.
Obviously we still have some house cleaning, setup and organizing to do at Tides Forums and Web Site. We dont normally have trouble makers on our servers, but apparantly we need to develop a better system of input to take care of them. SA does not have the club support here yet where we have an ICQ type of direct hot line set up.
It was orignally intended to report these type of problem in the : Community Chest > ToW Website and Servies forum. As we 'refine' the fourms and site we keep moving things. It's sorta like we just moved in and are still moving around funiture for that 'comfy' feeling.
I would suggest that each "by Area" will have an area to report game server related problems in the future, i.e. either in up/down status, log in problems, etc, as well as "player abuse, and misbehavior".
1) Report problem to Game Ops on Tides Team speak. Since TS is not monitored 24/7, you might have to go to step 2,3, etc
2) Report problem on Tides Forums, "Community Chest > ToW website and Services". You can also report the problem in the by Air Section for Air Games under Air Talk.
3) * Report the problem to Tides STaff direct by IM's or Forums post. Chain of command for you folks would be the ToW Air Marshal.
4) This club is supposed to have a member in the 'Game Ops' Div of ToW, and I think that person is Gosling .... so report to either.
NOTE: SA server has never got all the refinements and tweaks because all the efforts have been put into LW and EZ servers. ToW Air Marshal has been busy and SA has always been put on the back burner. I suspect now that you guys are trying to help us out, more attention will be given to that server.
Thank you all for the co-op and help.
