FlightNight - Are you all bored? !! Participation requested !!
FGUK FlightNight has been proudly going now for 17+ years in some form or another.
Over the years many have come and gone but we've always kept up a good core and it's been a nice excuse to just get out and fly and enjoy the latest stuff in Flight Gear - as well as do some testing.
I'm going to put my impressive tackle on the line here and say that It's starting to feel like the enthusiasm for FlightNight is dipping. Don't get me wrong, there's always been peaks and troughs but the last year it really does feel like the love is going.
Ignoring timezones, various other commitments and ways people spend their weekends I just think that it's not possible to say the enthusiasm is there as it was previously.
So I'd like to use this post to discuss what you hate about flight night and what you'd like to see more of in order to increase participation.
Is it that the banter isn't as good anymore? Do we spend too much time talking about serious stuff?
Is there not enough "hard-core" flight sim stuff? Are you bored of just following a leader around some set way points, even when there's a good set of scenery beneath you?
What kind of flights do you come away from thinking "that was bloody good fun" and which ones leave you dead inside?
Everyone participate please, if you can, let's make the next 16 years as popular as the previous ones...

Some, not all need meds to cope in life I do ,I hearty wanted to contribute something, spent so much time planning a flight Night, asked for help as posted, in the event of issues/problems, no one stepped up, On Flight Night yep, meds kicked in, nerves shakes , I crashed on take off. When I said on TeamSpeak why the f£$^ did that just happen? I was told It was because I was full of whiskey.
Passed the lead to Stuart. He clearly, by the numerous screenshots of himself was ok with that.
In my early days with you lads, I so looked forward to Sat Nights,.
As you quite rightly say, something is missing. Think its humanity.
Narcissists only thrive when they are allowed to, Stuart.
I have teamed up with another group,
Good luck and keep making those amazing aircraft!
" Narcissists only thrive when they are allowed to, Stuart.". I dont allow them to. So if your thinking of pointing that particular finger at me, you had better think again.
Right at you, bring it on. Will not be back here, so fart in the wind.
You accused voodoo of the same shit when you first got here. Look in the mirror before you go, and dont let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.
Yep same shit, different smell. so fart in the wind.
Heres a song for you. It fits you like a glove
