choctaw111 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Hello all. I got an email for this new forum and seeing the "Il2" at the top brought back so many great memories that this sim, and the old forum, brought me. Hopefully this forum will be as great, or even better, than the old one once was. 1
DD_Arthur Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Hello Brad. Hope you are well and living in Maine now?
BlitzPig_EL Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 It will be good to see the snow under our wings again.
Buglord Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I totally agree brad and as a bonus no banana background which i never liked... 1
AndyJWest Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Yup. Some familiar faces (or at least names) here. Where's Raaaid?
hiro Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) yeah i remember choctaw111 posted something similar when 1C opened the Il-2 successor SOW forums (banana)* and Oleg was updating . . . we all had high hopes back then. . . This is a new start and a smile to a dismal dec (for me). Thanks for bringing back that memory of hope. *it may have been in the ubi for IL-2 SOW . I know a detail like that is big but its been awhile Edited December 12, 2012 by hiro
choctaw111 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 Kris and Bug, as you English gents say, I'm chuffed to bits right now. :D I was just watching some old tracks from 23/33 that Roblex kindly provided me with just yesterday and then getting this great news the same day...I'm all beside myself right now thinking that some of the old squad may get back together for the new sim. With 777 involved, one can only imagine the possibilities now.
choctaw111 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Posted December 12, 2012 Hello Brad. Hope you are well and living in Maine now? Not just Maine, Nooooorrrrtherrrrrrn Maine! A place where we routinely have the lowest temps in the country. I rolled out of bed at 0530, made a cup of coffee and stood out on my back deck looking up at the stars. After finishing my coffee I went back inside and checked the readout on my weather station and it showed 1 degree F or -17C. I checked the national temperature map and Minnesota had us beat today. They were at -1F. You know you're made for the cold when you can go outside in a t-shirt and then later find out the temp is all but 0.

SYN_Vander Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Yup. Some familiar faces (or at least names) here. Where's Raaaid? In the off topic forum as usual!
Buglord Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Hello Choc, Bug... How's tricks gents?? Doing good now m8 , 1st half of the year was bad but everything is good now
Buglord Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I was hoping that for Clod , but hopefully with BOM it will happen brad
Bearcat Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hey Brad .. I must have missed this.. Good to see you here..
79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Hi Choctaw, another friendly face!
Phantom-103 Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Great to see so many of the Old Guard here.
MineFewer Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah, running around in circles is GREAT.
addman Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Haven't seen Buglord for a while, nice seeing some familiar old faces. Didn't you do stuff for Jane's WWII Fighters way back when? Wish Ian Boys would show up some day, does anyone know where he's at? P.S lol! this thread got my head spinning with people I used to see on the boards back in the day, gibbage, letterboy1(not sure if correct), cat (still around @ simhq/ED forums) and many others. Good times and fond memories and less stupid quarrels like we see these days. oh! one more thing.....Galen Thurber! lol! I just had to, sorry if it makes anyone feel uncomfortable. :D Edited December 28, 2012 by addman
BlitzPig_EL Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Wow, GT, the name that shall not be spoken....
Feathered_IV Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Nice to see the band getting back together. Hope we see more of the old breed before too long. 1
BorisGruschenko Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Once some merchandizing poet glorified the IL2-forums' gang as "passionate". Haw haw. I'm sure it will be fun to attend these realms of doom again.

I'm sure it will be fun to attend these realms of doom again. Pshaw! Could never happen! After all, we are all older and wiser now. Am I right? [Deafening silence]
addman Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Pshaw! Could never happen! After all, we are all older and wiser now. Am I right? [Deafening silence] More like older and grumpier I'd say.
carts Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 Older and Grumpier,no doubt,but bordering on the optimistic
FlatSpinMan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 'zactly, Carts. I have a good feeling about this one.
