I am Nick. I work as an airline pilot, currently flying on the B777/787 out of the Netherlands. i am also a father of 2 and therefore i do not allways get to experience my hobbies as much as i want to but in my free time i do enjoy video gaming, especially all kinds of simulators. in regards to train simulators, i have been playing these ever since the first microsoft train sim came out. Only recently have i gotten in to run8, and i am hoping i can find a higher level of immersion using multiplayer here at highball.
I am currently trying to find out how the highball multiplayer operations run, with biddin on (and actually finding these trains) the hub and in the server.I am trying to find some more info on how to operate on the server, so any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.

look forward to meeting some of you on here or in game!
Hi Nick, as a fellow pilot myself General Avation with aspireations to fly the heavy metal, I'd like to welcome you aboard! The best way to learn how things operate is to hop on our TeamSpeak server where you will find a varity of users who will show you the ropes. I look forward to seeing out there on the virtual high iron!

Well, I guess it's better late than never. Hi, my name is Robert. I've been with Highball over 5 years now. Joined Highball back with Run8 was still V2. I have been into trains since I can remember. As a kid living in San Diego, CA, I was a youth member of the La Mesa Model Railroad Club at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum. Loved every minute of being part of that experience. Grew up, joined the military did 8 years in the USMC. While in the Corps, I was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA and I decided to rejoin the club down at Balboa Park. But this time I joined the San Diego Society of N Scale (SDSoNS). Again, was another amazing time of enjoyment. I later left CA after my service and moved to where I live now in the great State of Louisiana. Was a LEO for about 4 years and been a Vol. Firefighter for now 11 years. For work I do electrical and instrumentation for the oil and gas industry. If you want to know more about me feel free to DM me. Hope to see you in the server.
