Hi, I am from Belgium and I have played LAC many times now since I discovered this beauty : A really fully Linux running Combat Flight Simulator .

I couldn't agree more with your description, @DillardTheDread ! And I know what I'm talking about : I started playing Linux Air Combat more than one year ago .

The only disadvantage that I have, is the fact that I live in Europe, so my time zone is CET (= UTC + 2) . This means that I have to play very late in the evening or at night to be able to fly when other, American users play .

But I can assure you, the man who developed the biggest part of it is very helpful and very polite : He has helped me through installing the game & the 'Mumble' voice comm client . And he explained step by step to configure this Mumble (there are some function keys setups : F1 = chatting with the members of your team, red or blue, F2 = chatting with all members playing the same mission , red AND blue, F3 & F4 for putting the voice comm volume up or down)

Now I am ready to do that myself, so when playing LAC for the first time WITH Mumble voice comm running, don't be afraid if I start talking to you with a foreign accent, okay ? (my Mumble name is "B-FORCE", which appears in one of the mission teams too when I am playing) I can help you out with the most stuff to do when playing Linux Air Combat .

Hankbonk.
