Hi Zzulu.
We tend to fly slightly more relaxed settings than full real, not full icons but limited. Our policy has always been to cater for the lowest common dominator, as the primary goal is fun for everyone. That said it depends on who is hosting, i for example tend towards harder settings but only if the crowd is willing.
We operate on a very much real life comes first basis, there is no pressure to show up, its when you want a bit of fun. We have a complete range of pilots, from the very good, to the just beginning.
That said, some of us are flying in a multi squad SEOW at the moment, which is full real, so that opportunity is there as well.
Most of all its all about fun, and if that sounds like it suits you, welcome
We are mixed from all over Europe and North America, with 'dedicated' flying times on tue thur and sat and sunday, but there's lots of other informal flying as well, when people just hook up on TS,
