This is the usual old chestnut when a new sim appears. It's bad enough
in BoS when not everyone has the same maps and therefore not the same
aircraft but we can usually work around that.
We had just this problem when Rise if Fight came out (I think we were a
bit disillusioned with 1C) but most of us didn't like RoF much. FC may
be a better experience, I don't know. These issues have the potential to
split a squad up. Perhaps some are a bit bored with BoS scenarios anyway
or want variety. I certainly miss larger (CoD/IL2 46) air-combat
opportunities which are few in BoS but might improve with BP. OTOH the
BoS ground attacks are a bit boring to me but they're a chance to keep
up with you guys. Personally I don't care what people do because they
will anyway and Squads never stay the same for ever.
Guys you have to decide what you want on an individual basis. As a Squad
we could vote for say BoS on Sundays and FC on Wednesdays which would
leave me out on Wednesdays but personally I have other sims/aircraft to
fly. Actually it might be a good idea to have those options for Squad
nights to give variety and keep the gang interested. I'd probably be a
bit of a part timer, preferring a night in BoS and a night just learning
new aircraft or doing aerobatics in DCS for variety.
Anyway, that's my 2p/2c.
Cheers

I have to admit I am torn now. I might be able to get enough money together to but Bodenplatte but I like the look of Flying Circus more. If I buy FC instead of Bodenplatte then I will probably find myself left behind quite often when the squad wants to fly WW2 and if that is happening I would probably end up not flying BoX and just flying FC which in turn would possibly lead to joining another squad. On the other hand, I have not flown BoX for about 5 weeks now and don't miss it so maybe I would be wasting my money buying either :-) I will probably have a better idea when Summer ends.

I loved the open cockpit, wood and fabric gliders the ATC had when I was a youngster. Shit performance (glide ratio) compared to modern, streamlined, fibreglass gliders with sleek enclosed cockpits, but much more fun. Whilst I expect most players will still prefer the higher performance WW2 ac, there’s a good chance VR could make WW1 a much more ‘real’ experience. The ‘feel’ just isn’t there on a monitor. Being able to feel you’re really in a Camel cockpit might be more fun than feeling you’re in an enclosed Hurricane cockpit. I’ll be giving it a go - and the Tigers too - although the beach has fully occupied this weekend ☀️😎🏊🏼♂️⛺️🏖
