Events

Aerobatic

Airshows

To no surprise, the aerobatic community's primary source of events are airshows, organised events where individuals and groups get together to display their aerobatic prowess and skills for a couple of days. In addition to the performers getting together for these events, these are also open to spectators, and most recently have been livestreamed on the YSFHQ youtube channel. Due to the fun, friendliness and accessibility of the airshow events, as well as the fact that the significant amount of organizers and participants of these are staunch enthusiasts of aerobatics and aviation in general, Airshows have historically come out as the most popular and most hotly organised events within the YS community.

Military

Formal Combat Events

The combat community has hosted many formal combat events of varying types and proportions. These formal events are typically ones where the players sign up either individually or as a team and attend an event on a set time and date with set rules and teams. Unlike informal conflicts below, formal combat events are usually open to any and all participants.

• YSFHQ Blacklist
• YSP World War 3
• YSFHQ World War 3
• Showdown over Poland
• Battle of Warsaw
• Friday Night Combat Tournament
• YS Web War 2014
• WW3 Weekends
• Dogfighting Sundays
• YSFHQ Combat Training Sessions
• 171st - 49th Organized Battle (April 2009)

Informal Conflicts

A significant dynamic in the military side of YSFlight is that Combat Groups may not always agree with each others ideas and would sometimes settle differences by engaging in conflicts informally, which is a significant shaper in the history of YSFlight groups as many of the most active Combat Groups formed from scenarios such as these. These may often be driven by group politics. Historic reasons for these kinds of conflicts have often included the following: Combat groups revolting against a larger combat group for the sake of toppling it's position of authority; poaching of members from one squadron by another squadron; a desire to regulate combat standards; combat groups basing themselves on ideas that are the polar opposites of each other and naturally clash; regulation of rule breakers. They usually take place spontaneously across the servers with no formal competition planning, weapon balance and player balance, which sets it apart from an organised competition or event. The significance of these scenarios may vary, depending on which squadrons are involved, how many squadrons are involved, how many players from each squadron are involved and how long the conflict goes on for. The most significant of all of these is the rivalry between the 171st and the 49th.
