Dear Pilots,

Summer is here, many of you are still confined and others have the luxury to travel a bit.

Anyway, our virtual skies are still open where ever you live (that’s probably the great thing about Flight Sims).

I wanted to share some news in regards to the Falcon Lounge Activities:

  • F-16 Flight dynamics
  • Multiplayer Experience

8 Survey falcon community

Would you have any recommendation for the Falcon Lounge?

9 Survey falcon rcommend

Here are the main categories for the collected feedback:

  • New Pilots “on-boarding” (Like Guides / articles on website)
  • More training videos
  • More events
  • More content on the website courses on “tactics”
  • We are a small elitist community that need to open up… (I personally don’t agree and may apply on the wider BMS community but the core of Falcon Lounge was build around sharing)

Would you recommend Falcon Lounge for a Falcon BMS journey?

Falcon Lounge’s Future

We have seen a big growth those last months with now more than 1400 discord members. The shape of the community has changed a lot lately with many new comers to Falcon BMS.

This has led us to some decisions in events and organizations.

Falcon Lounge TvT event

The Polar Vortex TvT was a great experience overall with a good participation level. We took some lessons learned from that experience and gathered some good items to implement for future TvT (Might depend on when 4.35 will be out).

We are currently looking into regions that could be interesting for a TvT event as we speak.

It might take some time though…

It will come back for sure!

Falcon Lounge New Team

With the level of growth we have seen recently, it is time to shuffle the cards and put a fresh organization in place.

Here is the organization proposed:

Who can or should apply?

You should be a Falcon Lounge follower at least (on discord).

You need to dedicate time to your position… There is no wage but a lot of fun (and some frustration to be expected).

You need to be part of the Falcon Lounge and represent the spirit!

How can I apply?

Easy! Just send and email to maxwaldorf [at] falcon-lounge.com with the desired position and motivation.

Don’t forget to also tell me about your ideas to fulfill your position!

I am hoping that this long article was informative and will also give you an insight on your main BMS community.

Have a great summer and see you in the virtual skies soon!!!
