Hey screw you pal...

aliases who knows. I was here as Icer back around 1990 or so. That was
around the time when Andy Hollis posted and the keyboard cowards drove
him away.. That's been the only constant here, KB cowards and little

was an airline pilot and owned a Stearman (?) biplane IIRC. He was
araound for Air Warrior, Confirmed Kill, Warbirds (when it was the
omb), and well into Aces High from the beginning. Then there was CJ,
Avatar, and many other charecters to this place...

Hope all is well, i've been itching to fire up F4:AF for a while, just

Racing season is over now so lots more time.

OK the "who the hell are you anyway" thing was something I borrowed from
Gary Cooper. It seemed so appropriate ;-)
And hell yeah. Avatar is one of the old guard as well! I am sure there are
many I missed.

Yes I am, though with all the mods for IL-2 the squad has been pretty

Things have been good. I hear ya about firing up old games and such...

lol, and you used it so appropriately! It's fun to drop in and lurk
once in awhile. Ming/Peter is still floating about (mostly on SimHQ
that I've seen but I don't get out much these days... ) but will pop
in here and post if he sees some of the old crowd. Times change, huh?

I've been around since the EF2000 era when the group was very active.
I was never a big contributor though.
> The dork that was a real pilot and never happy with any flight model?
He just wanted snap turns ...
We were spoilt for sims back then and web forums weren't as commonly
used as today. It's a real pity that USENET is in decline as it is so
convenient to read - unfortunately it's also easy for spammers and
other lowlifes to abuse (I used to participate in a robotics newsgroup
until an automated splorge launched from infected machines around the
world swamped it and everyone left - obviously some crazy had a bee in
his bonnet about something).
I now fly online with a virtual squad so I tend to hang out with them.
Still flying Black Shark while waiting for DCS A10. I wish that we had
a modern sim similar to EF2000 - online co-op, accessable, hi-tech
aircraft, dynamic campaign (although I'd like a mission creator/editor
as well). It'd bring new people to the genre and breathe fresh life
into it.

I ended up doing PS3 gaming with the latest Call of Duty. I still use my
flight-sim handle. Anyone remember what it was???

Nope not yet! I am retiring my F22/TQS/RCS. Kind of sad. But I have

remember you folks. I think I was Onyer6 back then (or maybe an e-mail

Meester Martinho, etc. Was around b4 all that as well. I dabbled with
Aces High until they did away with free 8 player. Joined for a month
then quit. I visited a d'l sight and saw Wings Of Prey demo. Been
outta touch too long. Cheers everyone.
p.s. my first flt sim was sublogic's flt sim, then Chuch Yeager, Aces
over the pacific/Europe (where I could never generate enuff virtual
mem to get things to play well. I think it was 640K needed so we shut
everything off that was not essential to run the rig and still were
short). I think my first usenet post was in the early '90's to a
rec.audio &/or rec.boats usenet group. I'll be 117 yrs old next Feb. I
don't remember Ironman tho....
