A great way to put it.

Ahh, nice - so they got my email saying they'd better get it done before my birthday (march 25:th) or else...

Hey mazex mine is the 27th of March. We'll have to remember each others lol

Just of curiosity; would you see online flying as a opportunity if you found servers that contained the proper level of intellect?

It saddens me when I hear virtual pilots don´t get the opportunity to experience the magnificent world of online flying just due to some air quake idiots. :(

I have the same feeling. Anyone who treats a new online flier badly is doing IL-2 a disservice. I think I've seen a pic of cs Thor in a 109 once and it was an extremely tight fit. Was that you cs Thor?

For me getting in a tangle with another aeroplane that's being controlled by another living person is so much fun and such a big rush that my hands start to shake if it's a hard fight. So to ruin that for a new comer who wants to try online flying just seems cruel.

I actually sat in the rebuilt Bf 109 G-2 of the Messerschmitt Stiftung back in 2000 or 2001 (but I don't think I ever posted a photo of this :mrgreen: ).

Regardless I am not a "newbie" when it comes to online flying - I've done this from 2000 to something 2006 or 2007 but quite frankly my interests are focused on aerial warfare as opposed to the fighter-centered gangbang that is predominant on most servers. I also have very high standards for what is believable and what not (which is why I never got into SEOW or similar wars, I have massive issues with the supply systems in them) and I am an ardent believer in strictly historical planesets.
But I have learned that such interests aren't present online or - which is also true - that projects approaching my ideal make compromises (to cater to certain factions) which I cannot agree with. Which is why I stay offline and "do my own thing".

You have been flying on the wrong servers mate. ;)

Once DBS gets back together I'll send you an invite to one of our Dedicated Missions. Strictly historical, recreation of famous battles, each plane wearing a proper skin, squadrons you name it...

Thx, but no thx. I'm all comfy and cuddly in my little world ... offline. :mrgreen:

csThor: you should try in servers like Spits vs 109 with some mates in TeamSpeak

It's getting a bit too OT so I guess we should go BTT now. ;)
