Welcome to the AirAttack community!
We are a primarily demo license-centric team based in Live for Speed (LFS), with multiple active host servers and a strong member base. With a long history of server hosting, event participation and team affiliation, we remain as one of LFS's longstanding active racing teams.
Our roots can be traced back before the dawn of the new millennium. In 1999, an FPS-style aviation console game called "AirAttack" debuted, featuring all types of aerial combat. Gathering a unique, but small community of passionate gamers and auto enthusiasts alike, these same bunch of people migrated to, and began participating in online racing on Live For Speed around 2005. Thereafter, in August that same year, AirAttack Racing was founded.
[Some founding AA members: Punchy, Sooty, Mysteron, GroundHog, Maccwed, Walrus, Truckle, Pim, Lucage, Luke, Zoom, Anti, Aacws, and many more]
The exact period we started hosting our own LFS servers is debatable, but archived forum posts on our previous domain, airattack.co.uk, date our hosting debut in October of 2005 with two servers: Demo and S2. Ever since then, our focus shifted entirely to LFS, as more players joined the forums to discuss LFS events, sim-racing, server moderation tools and all things automotive-based.
Our well-known benchmark statistics tracker, "Airio" did not come to public fruition until 2009. AirAttack member and technical wizard, AA EQ Worry, developed the software on AirAttack servers and eventually released it for public use, modification and future growth, which currently forms the Airio we know today. To date, Airio is constantly being updated, revised and improved upon by a select few tech-heads in the team.
A lull period in 2013 saw much of AirAttack's founding members fall inactive, and shortly after did our website and forums, waving farewell to the airattack.co.uk domain name. Fortunately for a short period, Genuine Racing and Ready2Roll teams took us under their wings and allowed us a sub-forum on their website, which aided us in continuing our well-established LFS server operations with 6 demo-only servers in total: 2x GTI, 2x FBM, Rallycross and one events server.
Towards the end of 2013, the domain "airattackteam.com" was attained, and in 2014, AA Seven established a new team website and with the help of then team leader AA Vim, refurbished the team's branding. During this time, team spirit was prominent both in game and in the real world, as new members took over bill paying, general management and maintenance of AirAttack and its logistics. A full overhaul of the team roster and leadership had brought life back into the team once again.
In June 2018, in a bid to inspire more young racers and gamers into LFS and sim-racing, AA Nova and AA Vim founded AirSupport as a Junior team for AirAttack. AirSupport's primary goal is to teach and guide members about the moderation aspect of servers such as good judgement, handling conflict on track, teamwork and self improvement, while also supporting each individual in their progress up the ladder in sim-racing.
AirSupport also provided a never-before-seen tiered rank system which further incentivized hard work and dedication, where previously most only relied on Airio !experience ranking as a gauge of seniority. Presently, not only does AirSupport provide a cohesive environment for personal growth and development, but the scheme has pioneered a more beneficial way in shaping the next generation of sim-racers in both LFS and other platforms, while giving crucial managerial skills to all.
During the pandemic in 2020, LFS activity skyrocketed and with that, we continued to evolve our server offerings with the revival of our S2 Race Server, the extremely popular S2 Multiclass server and subsequently an S3 modded cars-based server. We were proud to be the leading demo and S3 racing server host at the time when everyone needed a safe place to have fun, and it was fantastic to see everybody together once again.
As a team, we continue to proactively develop our operations and provide our members with the options to excel where they'd like to, whether in standard communial admin duties, or team and server backend tasks. We now operate demo servers for Rallycross, GTi, FBM and events as we always have, but are now committed to support thrill-seeking licensed racers with our S2 Multiclass and S3 Mods servers.
Today, AirAttack as a 16-bit aviation game is long gone, but the heritage remains on Live for Speed thanks to continued support by current members and supporters. Without you, AirAttack would not be where it is today. We've only just begun.
