JG26 recruiting now!
the winners are welcome to join us!

For a friend of mine.
 

I'm very lonely in the flight sim world so I am going to want to try to win a key for my friend. Only one of my friends has played this IL-2 and he very much enjoys it compared to other games that he has played. The friend that I wish to win this key for is Steam ID Homeslice. He's a very good personal friend of mine and I am also wanting to increase the size of the younger end of the sim community (I'm only 16 and this is my favorite game, much better than Call of the 12 year olds ;) ). I'll try to see if I can get his system specs but I know this: his system is slightly better then mine one time when I had asked him. My basic specs are in my signature and I am able to enjoy this game on medium-high settings with about 30-40 FPS. I'm just hoping to make a friend of mine happy and broaden IL-2's fan base so I am not the only young person to fly (I've flown the original IL-2 since release so I was like 5ish and I don't remember really much when I was that young except that I greatly enjoyed). Hopefully I'll be able to update this post soon with his specs.
Thanks,
Eagle

Hi Eagle, and good luck with your application on your friend's behalf!

In the meantime, don't hesitate to try a bit of online flying with us over at the ATAG Server. TBH, I haven't checked to see if you already have. If not, and you're interested, shoot me a PM and I can fill you in with the simple details on how to get started, including the use of the free voice communication software many of us use when flying together. We're a friendly bunch and you'll feel "at home" in no time!

Cheers,

Snapper

Hey Stealth, or was it Eagle I forgot. ;p
Sent you this in PM aswell but there's info that others might need too so I'm posting it here.

Could you have your friend register and participate himself please.
And more importantly...a Steam nick isn't specific enough. Searching for "Homeslice" on Steam nets 27 direct hits, so there's no way to know who it is.
It really needs to be his individual profile ID. You, or he, can find it by following this video guide.

We also might have a 4th key to give away soon as someone contacted me about it and is willing to buy a key to add to this raffle...the ball is really rolling now. :)

what I need to doo??? this inlude EasternFront?

Zakk, this offer is for Cliffs of Dover, the eastern front expansion is still in development.

As for the rest, pretty good show thus far. We got more keys being given away and online squadrons ready to recruit the newcomers, that will bring them up to speed nice and fast.

Great job thus far everyone, this forum now officially needs a thumbs up sticky ;)

Will be receiving a more complete system specs soon. I asked for his system specs completely out of the blue but he should be able to run it and I PMed the correct profile tag (the pizza slice).

Snapper, I've been on the ATAG server several times and you haven't noticed it? Either time seperates us or we haven't formally introduced each other. Problem with that idea is that most people that fly IL-2 are twice my age and live across the pond. So when my mother askes me about certain things to ask the people on teamspeak, she doesn't quite get it that I'm an extreme oddball in my generation who will be the next leaders of the world. Wait a minute, that future doesn't look very bright to me. ;)

Right then, I'll give it a go...

2. I've been playing IL-2 since it's release in 2001, and I finally have the time to try out CoD. Do I deserve it? You decide, here's my contribution to the IL-2 community:

I do my best to keep the info up to date :)

Okay, my system is a Core2Quad Q9550@2.83 GHz, 4 GB Ram, Radeon HD6970 with 2 GB. I use Windows 7 64bit, TrackIR 4 and Saitek X52Pro.

I've played IL2 for some years and took part in the german JFS (online flight school on http://jfs.sturmovik.de). But when I installed Windows 7 the release date of IL2 CoD was near and I thought I wait for it. Then I've read all the bad things about it and decided to wait even further. Now it's been over a year that I've played any flight sim! I've registered for the closed beta of World of Warplanes and got access to it but it's so arcadish ... i couldn't stand it and installed IL2. In spite of the excellent work of the Daidalos team it looks crap compared to CoD. And the videos on youtube show a somewhat okish performance. So I'd give it a try. Here I am posting in this thread. :-P

Oops! How did I miss that? ;)

Will keep an eye out for you once our server is restored and back up & running. And believe me, I wish I WAS just twice your age! LOL
