Bearcat Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) While there is still a degree of negativity flying around here there is a very pronounced positive buzz in the air that partly manifests itself in the form of seeing names that I have not seen in YEARS posting on this board. To me that is great.. I won't go into names and all but some of you know who you are and it is good d@mn good to see some of those names again.. B) Even the layout of this forum harks back to the thing that brought us all here in the first place. I don't know about any of you guys.. but this feels more like IL2 to me than either the UBI or 1C forums especially when considering some of the old names popping up.

ATAG_Slipstream Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Yes, now all we need is the loons from cwos to arrive en mass in the free subject forum and the circle will be complete!
Bearcat Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 ROFLMAO!! That is a debatable need... 1
SCG_Neun Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I have to say that I'm looking forward to this sim, but it's hard to get too excited when it's so far off. I suppose I'll plan for my next computer upgrade as the months roll bye. I'll just pop in here every now and then and count the number of locked threads.
=IRFC=Huetz Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Come on Uther, you know that Raaaid is the only answer to what we actually need. 2
Hunin Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Are tagert and Leitmotif still alive? Reading these boards feels abit like time travel ^^. EDIT Gonna create "conveyor belt" and "me262 wings only swept because of cg" topics later to make us feel at home. Edited December 15, 2012 by Hunin
ATAG_Slipstream Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I'm hoping raaid get his own sub forum. Tagerts already here Hunin, as AoA.No idea about Leit, not heard off him for years! Edited December 15, 2012 by JG52Uther

DD_fruitbat Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Are tagert and Leitmotif still alive? Reading these boards feels abit like time travel ^^. tagert = ace of aces, and leitmotiv, has been quite ill over the last year or so.
Hunin Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Thats sad to hear. Give him my best regards if you are in contact please, it would be much appreciated.
Bearcat Posted December 15, 2012 Author Posted December 15, 2012 We used to get into it often but I like him too..
FTC_Karaya Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Hey Hunin, long time no see! Good to see you on the forums
Caudron431 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Would like to read some posts by HayateAce once again ^_^
VeryOldMan Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) We still lack charts of sustained climb of some spitfire variant and the thread about godzilla vs T-Rex with charts as well to reach the old golden age... I used to be OldMan at the origianl Il2 forums, sicne I am older now, I am a VeryOldMan now... Edited February 15, 2013 by VeryOldMan
Bearcat Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 I wish someone would come up with some of those nice Photoshopped posters... There weas one that was a knock off of CFS 3 called... Can't Fly this $hit.. and the original Luftwhiner poster based on a Join the Luftwaffe propaganda poster.. Didn't you do some of that stuff Crash..? This is the same Crash with the MSFFB2 switches and the Mrs. named Jen right?
6S.Manu Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) And what about the theological discussion about The Mighty Mustang? Edited February 15, 2013 by 6S.Manu
DD_fruitbat Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Will we get a cheerleader thread? Not unless megile turns up
VeryOldMan Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Can we start the thread about .50 cal vs tiger tanks?
JG4_Sputnik Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Can we start the thread about .50 cal vs tiger tanks? Oh yes please! There's so much to be said considering that particular issue! Lemme start: .50 cal won the war!!
VeryOldMan Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 The following chart obtained from non specified source that knows a friend of a guy that used to date a girl that is daughter of a tiger pilot, clearly shows that tiger engine ventilation system was designed so that only 0.4883 inch ventilation slots would ve visible from above the rear deck of the tanks. That clearly makes the .50 innefective weapon against tiger tanks! ------------------------- -----------------------/ | -----------------------\ | \_______________| / clear spacing between ventilation bars is < .50 inches | | / ---------------------------------------------------------------O--O--O--O--O--\ |
Foobar Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Wrong drawing, VeryOldMan that's the KW-2 drawing.

MiloMorai Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 The history revisionist hasn't shown up yet.
Cavemanhead Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 I'm very much looking forward to this title and feel like it's in good hands... Can't wait to fly the 109...
Bearcat Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 I reckon RBJ will be along soon to discuss trim-on-a-slider. It'll be like 2004 all over again! RBJ is here ... unless it is an imposter.. but he popped into UBI as well so..
II./JG27_Rich Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 I've been in the Simhq forum since the IL-2 demo in 2001 as "Hackl" and in hyperlobby as II./JG27_Rich

KaBooOooM!
SimHog Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Can we start the thread about .50 cal vs tiger tanks? I choked on my cereal read this ... lol ... ah the memories.
Yellonet Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I thought of another "fun" topic that brings back memories - chute shooting!
