I was just wondering because I don't see very many people online. And really 2 or 4 player games do not interest me.
Is there something I should know about online play or a special time?

Now that I am through whining, what is the best paint program (easy to use) in painting these skins?

Sorry, I guess this should be in the General section

Most if not everyone in the US flies Cali12 server after 10pm EST. Most people over seas fly UK1 around 4 pm EST. not sure the time that is over seas.

I don't mean to be pissy, but thats when I check. I still don't see many there.

Nevermind, I really want to learn how to paint these planes!

Maaco,

try the Gimp. It's free, and it is very much like Photoshop. It might not be the easiest paint-program, but if you play around with it you'll get to it pretty fast.

Be sure to also get the .tif and .gif support-files here:

You'll also like IrfanView, a fast image-viewer, to convert the .tifs that come with SDOE so you can work with them:

Maaco,

Sometimes their are so many people in the game you can't even get a plane. I really
prefer to have the games more intimate 8,9,10
max is plenty. I did notice you didn't stick around very long the other night and it got real busy, to busy. I'm not trying to talk you into anything, you make up your own mind.
