I had a cheapy ebay special radio for a bit, but found it's quality lacking. Bought these Wouxun ones, nice bits of kit. Not too expensive, and the instruction manual is good and written in hilarious engrish.

I read a book about the army and went to the naval museum in portsmouth once. Can i join your gang?

I stepped in one time when a local 'team' were being abusive towards some of the younger players. Unfortunately, the sport can attract the wannabe sgt majors who think their disgusting attitude makes them appear the big man. That said, I have also told young players to stop being tools on the field. Like the one kid stood at the back of a room, shooting down a corridor and nearly hitting our team on multiple occasions. Or the kid who while we were sneaking up on the enemy started to flash his torch, and when asked to stop said "Can't make me" and held it constantly on. However, I've also been pushed out of the way by a bloke who must have been in his late twenties as I was in his way. I just shook it off and got on with the game, no point in rising to it as they likely won't receive my 'feedback' in the way I'd like.

Ah fair enough, so a videos section is on the cards? For the time being, perhaps a pinned topic somewhere for videos to be posted?

I'm sure there's probably a reason for it, but why is there no section for members to share their airsoft related videos, if it's a separate category, then memebers can create a topic for say a gameplay video from the weekend and people can view and comment there on it.

Fair enough, I had no issues with the documentation provided, but I also had access to other devs who used it a lot.

How long ago did you last have a go with Unity? I know the first time round it was limited at best. Now it's actually quite expansive and their forums very active and helpful.

Well it does, Unity has a much more central location for its documentation and tutorials, as well as themselves publishing the tutorials. You stand at much better stead getting started with them as everything you need to know is easily presented to you to learn. Of course, they'd have to learn something, but then I think that's a given!

Ah yes, I remember saying that myself. 2 months later, I'd spent about 450 quid on stuff. To date, probably 3 or 4 times that!

How do people go about "zeroing" their rifles? I tend to just fire down my garden, making hop-up adjustments until it flies nicely, anybody do anything else or have and tips?

I'm a software developer by trade (for the moment at least, until I change careers), and while not in C++, i have heard a lot of hobby game developers are shying away from it. I'd reccomend looking at something like Unity3D, which is an engine and development kit designed for games development and caters to the hobbyist community very well. You also have an active community of like minded people there to draw on if you get stuck.

They are kicking off about the fact there is 100 more TASER officers on the streets today as well. Bloody joke, we're on the same terror alert level as Northern Ireland, and they all carry sidearms!

Yeah, I figure once I have a landowner who is willing to rent, I can then put together the other parts of the plan. I have a rough idea of what I'd need. However, I have found myself wondering how half these site owners find this land and derelict buildings to use. I have literally just come across the one place that 'looks' disused, not sure if it actually is the case!

Can't say I've had that issue before there, and played a handful of times. The Marshalls are really hot on cheating, stand nearby one for a while and listen to the radio and they have constant descriptions of players going out acting a bit silly. I played there this past weekend.

Hi Guys, I'm Ryan, or Soap as I'm known online (I've had the nickname long before the now famous Soap Mactavish...), took a break from the game for a bit, but now back at it properly and looking to produce some quality Airsoft content on youtube. I'm also constantly on the prowl for locations I could possibly turn into a site (in the south of england). Found a lovely old group of warehouses that would have been perfect, but no idea how to find out who the land owner is. The warehouses are disused! Anyhow, look forward to chatting with you all, and perhaps playing with others.
