Bearcat Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 The virtual Redtails have been in existence since 1999 in several commercial WWII Combat Flight Simulators. Most notably Fighter Ace,Microsoft's C.F.S.I, and the 1C Maddox IL2 Sturmovik series. This group began in C.F.S.I in 1999 and in 2002 moved over to the Sturmovikseries. We consider ourselves Virtual W.W. II Aerial Combat reenactors. The flight sim community, though a niche market, tends to be madeup of more mature people who prefer to look at themselves more as "simmers" than simply "gamers". Most of the men in this group aremiddle aged men with children, some with grandchildren. We do our best to keep the memory of the men of the 332nd Fighter Group andthe 477th Bomber Group alive, and do our best to honor their memory with fairness, honesty and tenacious teamwork. While there are virtualsquadrons literally from all over the world representing their chosen heroes, we have chosen as our focal point the 332nd Fighter Group.We fly primarily P-39s, P-40s, P-47s and P-51s on simulated bomber escort and ground attack/support missions crafted as historicallyaccurate as we can make them in most cases. Occasionally we will move to the Pacific theater in various ahistoric missions flying virtualaircraft that the 332nd did not fly but our primary goal is to always keep the memory of the Tuskegee Airmen alive and have fun enjoying thecamaraderie of like minded individuals. Our members hail from as far away as Australia, Trnidad, Jamaica and across the United States fromCalifornia to New York, and Florida to Detroit. Our members are educators, technicians, IT professionals, many are veterans. We look forward to the future of IL2:BoS and beyond. 2

BSS_Sniper Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 The community used to be made up with mature players. It doesn't seem that way these days on the two main servers that happen to be populated lately. In fact, it's pretty bad with the attitudes and language in chat, bad enough I don't let my son watch when I fly. I hope the community that was around back in the IL2 1946 days keeps coming back so we can peer pressure these "gamers" into acting with some manners online. Either way, I remember you Bearcat, glad you're back.
