Roughly the same for me. Tough I don't have an exact date. A friend of mine had a copy of IL2 installed on his laptop when I went to visit him one afternoon. I took one look at it and thought - bejesus, flight sims have come on a bit since the days of my Acorn Electron (I think I owned Harrier Strike Force, and some aweful 747 sim).

Money was parted with, then more money to get the thing working well, then I started playing online and realised Forgotten Battles was the thing, then I started on VEF in September last year, and found the Marlins and all you other guys in November.

But yes, best of all it has rekindled my adolescent obsession with all things flyable. To the point where I decided I had to fulfill the long put off of ambition of learning to fly for real. Maybe if I'd realised all the capital outlay buying this game was going to involve I'd have thought twice

Hehe

Can't remember when I started.... all I can say is that it feels like forever

2 years here too.

many more to come no doubt

[Zak33]

but will it always be ....this good

this friendly, this much chit chat and this much excitement ?

god..I hope so

[Tumble]

It has to tbh.. if this were real... we'd owe each other sooo much as regards saving each other's lives... you can't do that stuff without the aftereffects of becoming almost like a family... I know it's a game but crikey... nothing like a game to see the proper person through the persona...
