Hi. I just joined you guys. Been with DCS since 2011. Aces High out of Texas, USA before that for a long time.

With DCS, I have most of their inventory, all the WWII aircraft. Ka-50 used to be my main ride for a long time.

I fly the Bf-109. I am interested in joining your squad if you have a German aircraft squad.

I am good at ground attack. My dog-fighting skills not that great.

Was on your server earlier this morning. I will be back on your server.

I am in NY State near West Point. I am a retired guy.

Take care.

Kurt

Hi DieHard,

Welcome, we all fly different aircraft, all WWII birds of course. I think most active RAF are eastern time too, and we are on most nights of the week.
Don't worry about skill, we're no pros either haha, see you online.

:salute:

Welcome to our humble lil' forum, and our piece of Normandy. :cheers:

Sounds like we might have some things in common. I just got DCS working a couple weeks ago so I'm learning the flight model and systems (ugh!), but spent a scary amount of time in IL-2's various permutations. Did some Microsoft CFS and Aces High (back in the era when you could pull hard Gs in a P-51, break off the outer wing panels and suddenly have a REALLY fast clip-wing Mustang). :lol:

I spent most of my IL-2 time in Zekes and 109s, Ki-84s and 190s (both As and D-9s). I have all four WWII aircraft, but will probably settle on the Bf 109 K-4 or Fw 190 D-9 as my regular ride. I don't know that we have a German aircraft squad, but if you see me on the server I'm likely in Axis hardware.

Not much for ground pounding, but if we ever get RAF_Rooster on DCS you'll have a b-itchin' wingman. Rooster can drill holes in ground forces like a starving oilman going through Texas shale in IL-2, and hopefully we'll see him join us in our Great Migration to DCSland.

I'm a better dogfighter than ground attack guy, which isn't saying much. But I can probably dilute the enemy's fire by being a distraction. :roll:

Raven's right—most of our guys are on east coast time, but I'm a left coaster. I'm typically on after 2100 Eastern.

Hope we get to wing up soon. In the meanwhile, please make yourself at home in our forum. :D

Cheers,
