+Gr.Viper Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I scares me merely to think about boat's prop torque Quote

The key is to protect/attack the ship convoy heading to Nieuport port. Quote

Bulldog Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Are many flying there these days? I used to but I got tired of flying by myself most of the time. Quote
Lucas81 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Unfortunately not to be honest. I hope it will change after the new relase, since RS will introduce more "wanted" planes, such as Albatroses D. Also, lack of the organised events prevents single pilots or online squadrons from playing there. It has nice multiplayer potential with wide option possibilities, but its not used well. BTW: here is a nice link: http://fishbed.targetware.net/~joe/spelunk.php It lists all the TW servers and shows number of players. Hope it helps a bit. Regards! Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 11 servers | 2 players Kinda.. empty-ish.. Quote
Lucas81 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Kinda.. empty-ish.. Kinda when ull get in, there will be 11/3 Usually its 10-15 in the evening, most players on TT server. But advetisement of tw is **** so dont expect more. note, that no big Simming portal has tw section. But when you will get on HL only IL series has hungreds of players, the rest has the same auditory as there. Cheers! Quote
