we need change
We should get this back off the ground because right now, joining servers, and flying around alone or doing a bit of dogfighting with a random person is starting to get boring. we should get together more and get this community back to it'sformer glory.
I'm writing this because in the past week, Nath, DT, Jetskit and many more have decided to quit YSFHQ, and they were the people i first spoke to on ysfhq TS and who introduced me to ys.
I just dont want the community to die.

Re: we need change
As for servers; we were averaging 600 flight hours two months ago. Last month was 195hr, this month 62hr (CP has 40hr). YS pilot numbers always fluctuate, but this lack of enthusiasm in anything (Civ/military/aerobatics/online) is a touch boring. If people are bored, they don't fly online. People not online = others won't get online.
Therefore there is a general haze of boredom that spreads like an infectious bacteria. This accounts for inactivity or spontaneous "I'm leaving LOL J/K" topics sprouting up.

Re: we need change
As for solutions: NOOB RETENTION. that's the key. There's a constant flow of noobs coming to ys but rare are those who stick around. We should pet our server noobs like there's no tomorrow.
''Studies found that competition with others, the challenge to succeed, the diversion from day-to-day stress, pure fantasy, social interaction, and positive emotions induced by games are motivations for play.''
''large-scale battles are needed to create a sense of us-vs-them or good-vs-evil''
''The social experience of a game can also be increased when developers focus on the player avatars, social cooperation, and personal communication.''
''There are a number of ways to make a game addictive, but if players feel nothing playing the game, they won’t be coming back.''

Re: we need change
And maybe have a combat Friday, atc saturday, and air race Sunday. Or maybe have a dedicated Saturday where we all join just one server. Sometimes there might be 7 diffremt people online but on diffrent servers. One or two people on a server isn't as fun as 7 or 10 flying around and creating traffic.

Re: we need change
I have the exact same issue.Patrick31337 wrote:When you don't have an addon installed that someone on a server is using, it creates errors in YSF. It says something is wrong with a .dat file, but it usually isn't the .dat file but the program itself having the error. Usually if you click "OK" fast enough it goes away, but sometimes it crashes the whole game.
2015 has the same issue as well.Copperhead wrote:Funny how I've never had an error crash my YS on a server, just my aircraft. I wonder if my using of the 2011 version has anything to do with it?
