Pikestance Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Virtual Pilots of the "Pacific" (VPOP) An umbrella group for all virtual pilots living roughly between UTC +7 and UTC +11 One thing I noticed is that there isn't a (strong) presence of virtual squadrons for pilots that live in East Asia, Australia and Oceania. Many do what I have done; join a group that is based in North America and or Europe and miss out on squadron exercises because of the time difference. It is time that virtual pilots of this region to stand up and be counted and form squadrons for both the Axis and Allies. The purpose of this "Group" is to coordinate efforts to create individual squadrons that will cater to the East Asian, SE Asian, Australian, and Pacifica needs.. So it is time to answer the muster and express your interest and being part of starting something from ground floor. Please indicate interest in joining and wiliness to take on a training and/or commanding role below. OR join Discord: https://discord.gg/JdBxVWQ A new unit has started for our time zone. JG 77. See ad here. Join Discord here and apply here. If you belong to an allied squadron and is forming a squadron for pilots in this time zone, please let me know. I will include a link to your application/ discord channel. If you have a preference for allies, please join the VPOP discord, so that we can help organized one for you. See you all in the Skies!

Hoss Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 There was a group called Oceanic Group or something to that effect in the old IL2. Had some good budies in it that flew when I worked nights and got home late (Cali pacific time) Smiladon was one of them most were out of New Zealand. Cheers Hoss
Pikestance Posted November 16, 2019 Author Posted November 16, 2019 Thank you for sharing. I actually read about the group in another thread also asking for people in this region. It apparently is now defunct. 90% of the thread dates to 2014.
widget Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Just stumbled across your original post in Oct 2019. Good suggestion. Looks like not many people from the same time zones inhabit the forum? I myself only tend to visit the forum for specific subjects. Online play is difficult for me at times - broadband in Australia isn't the greatest and work/family life sort of reduce my IL2 time!
II/JG77Hawk-12 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Hello. I'm interested in joining VPOP, as JG77. I'm in South Eastern Australia and I've been flying online under the Australian II/JG77 banner for nearly 20 years, firstly on European Air War, then IL2 Sturmovik, and on and off with Cliffs of Dover and BoS, mainly on my own. Would like to be more active in a online ASEAN community. Cheers.
Pikestance Posted November 17, 2020 Author Posted November 17, 2020 Great the more the better. Sorry I have been busy with a new job, but will be more active now.
