nope its tuesday here... I think raptor has a point... they probably have a messed up calander on the wall...

For most of us it's Thursday, for Xabba it's Friday and for TF it's Tuesday.:doh:
I smell a conspiracy.....or maybe it's just Hunter's cheese.:O:

wow... these timezones are something else.:o

Its really Thursday.

Ah, for a moment I was beginning to think the conspiracy was stupid enough to waste it's resources on you...

why would the conspiracy want Xabbarus...:hmmm:

What the f*ck is wrong with me. Since I have this f*cking TrckIr I keep crashing all the time. Stalls, spins, missing my targets and crashing into the ground have become the normality.
I've ordered the extremely overpriced vector expansion yesterday (some people told me that using TIR is much easier with it) but since the company shipping that sh*t over here is located in the Netherlands it might take some time to arrive here. Until then I quit this. It's no fun at all and I'm always frustrated like hell at the end of our flights (which usually see me as a hole in the ground).:down:
If I hadn't paid so much money for this BS I would throw it away and go back to NewView again.

hmm... you could just put it up and go back to newView till then... or you could just use your keyboard/joystick cap to look around...

Patience my Jarmin friend...You'll change your mind about it all once you get the vector expansion :03: you should have bought it in the first place you tight git :O: TBH i would be lost without my trackir.I couldn't go back to the hatswitch, thumb slipping off the bloody thing, causing eratic movements leading to frustrating disorientation,stalls/spins/crashing.This was one of the reasons i hated locked pits,but now i wouldn't dream of flying without locked pits. :salute:

ps. Sorry for bailing tonight guys, but i had to attend to something.

Even though I'm a noob at IL2, I think I'll try joining you guys Monday.

Lol... good luck... and If you see a FW 190 D... lol start running...:rotfl:

Bloody Fw-190s...

First mission I took an A-20 and headed out to the bombing run, couldn't see jack at the co-ordinates I was given (except an allied airfield getting pasted by god knows what) so I flew over to the airfield near St Vith I'd spotted last mission whilst watching Schroeder flying back to Germany in his 262, came in to bomb that and got headshotted by the AAA. :dead:

Second mission they actually gave us some decent planes, although it was a clipped wing Spit :nope: However, Hunter defected to join Task Force in Fw-190s...

ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT

Not long after take-off I made the decision to ditch the bombs and climb, climb, climb, figuring that the 190s would use boom and zoom tactics and so the higher I was the harder it would be for them to use that on me. Schroeder declared war on TrackIR and lost, crashing and leaving Spud to complete the mission and return to base successfully. Meanwhile I toodled around at 6000-7000m trying to spot the inevitable 190 attack before it hit me.
Then, suddenly! A plane! On my six! I went into evasive maneuvers (read stalling) and managed to shake him, but then he was back again, so I evaded (stalled) again, and on about the third evasion I noticed that his wings were rather elliptical....

D'OH!

I was evading another Spitfire...

Hunter went down, and so I waited for Task Force to come and get me...and waited...and waited....and waited, eventually Task Force was shot down, and Hunter reminded me that I'm not in a U2 spyplane, and my name is not James May...

I dived, and rather than make everyone watch me fly back to base for twenty minutes, I did the RAF a favour and wrote off a clipped wing Spit by Allah Ackbaring it into a convoy of German trucks.

Next time, give us PROPER Spitfires!! :shifty:

Do I need any mods or downloads to join, or is my stock 1946 with the 4.08m patch good enough?

We're flying the 4.09 beta, preferably with the unified installer from *cough* that place.
