That's quite alright. At least the joker didn't get very far.  ;) I was already happy to be flying with others rather than AIs for a change.

Thanks for the game! It was short but sweet. That 110 fooled me, thinking he was in a death spiral only to come up again. Cheeky bugger he was.

Hopefully I'll see you on Sunday, then. Do you guys fly stock 4.12.2 or some big mod pack?

I personally fly in full realism settings, except for G effects (because AI doesn't care about those effects either) and some map/display things to keep myself entertained in a world full of AI.

A Dutchman!

Oh lord, not one of them. Tis true, I'm afraid. 26 year old accomplished in the arts of engineering, electronics, software, software engineering and engineering electronics. My creations usually don't blow up.

I've been playing IL-2 on and off since .. Forgotten Battles, left it until the Ace pack or something came out (and was bloody hard to find). Then moved on to Pacific Fighters (ANOTHER one?!). Played that for a good while until even more stuff came out with the Pe2 pack and 1946.

I've played elaborate Scorched Earth campaigns, plenty of DCG campaigns with squadrons online. Flown Yak-1s, escorting silly TB-3s. Tried a campaign in the Pacific with the flying bathtub (F4F) fighting zeroes. That usually ended up with me in the water, either due to the Japanese or the failed carrier landing. The Pacific was nice and all, but decided that Normandy has plenty of water for a carrier and came into some Royal Navy Martlets scenario.

As of late I've been playing a France 1940 DCG campaign, peppering early Hurricanes and Ms406s with cannons rounds, and sometimes getting my ass kicked by surprisingly maneuverable Hawk 75s. Regardless, I feel like I'm getting pretty decent at hitting things. I play Warthunder on the side, and learned a lot about air combat maneuvering. Doesn't mean I always apply it properly, but I try. Seems to work out most of the time.

So! Long story short, I've been looking around for a group of easy going pilots to do coop (campaigns) with. I'm not really a competitive person. I do enjoy working together against AI.
