OMG I flew

[McMav]

Went for a wee fly on gsv server last night

HArdly any slow down maybe tweak 1 or 2 more settings a little.

Decided to buzz the enemy Tower on their airstrip coz not alot was happening plus I was flying a BF109 (God I hate german planes)

So off I go nice low fly past only to be raped by AA fire

Off I limp see a nice Field to set down in. flaps to landing power cut gear down looking good. Land it not bad go to heave on the brakes dip the nose wreck the props but get out alive. Engine inoperable popped up on the screen. Well when I looked back at the plane from all the holes in it it wasnt just the engine that wasnt gonna work for much longer.

Anyway emergency landing that I walked away from is a good landing in my book. But no more TopGun buzzing the tower (least not enemy tower)

Good fun though

Nice One m8. We'll try and catch you on-line soon.

Thursdays is meant to be "flight school", but we dont have many cadets turning up ATM

How does a newbie connect to this. Not that I have much confidence that I'll get a decent connection with my dire dial up.

That's a shame, have been playing IL-2 for a bit now and wanna get some online practice (coz I ain't very good!) but I go to college Thursday evenings...

Ain't gonna get my broadband connection back till next week sometime anyway (I'm never gonna go back to 56k!). Hopefully will see some of you guys in the sky soon!

How do you guys chat, btw? Do you use headsets, or type?

[Zak33]

both......

but our Teamspeak server is restriced to Marlins...

typing is OK

[Clingy]

There is usually a few of us around on Mondays as well for flight school.

Also 56k is OK for FB.

Which version do I need to have? I haven't been able to down load the 1.21 patch yet. ('cause dialup etc.)

[Dakaras]

Get 1.21 mate

[sparky191]

Thats gonna take 3-4 nights of downloading.
