The New Xbox IL2 Squadron!

[Reddisback]

Allright; it came to this.


Sinds this game is soo Über fantastic, and we allready have a PSN group who play this game on their consoles, it is time that WE Xbox people finally have that share of the loot. HereBy; I anounce that, I - or anyone who beats me to it, is About to Create a New Squadron For IL2 Stumovik for the XBOX 360!

So, i've said. Now, sinds i'm a retired Moderator, i know for a fact that there is a 1-2-3 kinds rules to follow in the sence of Copyright, Legal B.S and all that, so we have to do it Good and atleast, OUTSTANDING!

There may be one day of joy in the future that we're able to link PSN to XBL. but i'm afraid, i'll be old and Dead when that happens. but hey, we can all day dream.

Now; we're gona need some people who know the A B C about Creating a new CLAN / Squadron. We're gonna need a Name, preferbally a Classic German name with a hence or tradition and Ironnic in it?

We're gonna know were people are living, and what the times and Dates they are online. were gonna know what languages they speak and what kinda Membership they have. we're gonna need an Avatar, we're gonna need everbody Call sign, with other words: I have to Move da moon to get this Sweatheart on its way......

Now, did i Missed something.......................?

[imnotgeoff]

sign me up!!!

[Reddisback]

Okay, i've got an idea for the name. I'd like to Name it von richthofen
or Richthofen for short. after the Famous Red Baron?

what do you guys think????

[King Jareth]

I think you should get this sorted and challenge the 202 Exorcists (http://202nd.webs.com/) to a fight ;)

[imnotgeoff]

maybe,,we should get a few names then when if we can get a few more people take a vote..
i.e Condor Legion jagdgruppe(fighter group) 88 abbrieviated to J/88,who fought in the spanish civil war

[phlux]

I’ve got the name. I’ve had it in my mind for awhile but just wanted to find the right folks to team up with to use it. Redd you seem like a nice fellow and my two buddies and I have been looking for some friendly people to fly with. My GT is Phluxuation. I’m GMT-5 (eastern time US) and my buddies are GMT-4 (central time US). I prefer realistic games since my eyes are old and I can’t spot targets as well in sim, plus the trim gets on my nerves, but I enjoy both (arcade is not an option for me :)).

Anyway, to the name. I saw this on an episode of Dogfights on the History Channel and thought it would be a perfect clan name if a game ever came out deserving it. I’d say BoP is that game.

Sonderkommando Elbe. The first link is a wikipedia article. Hope you guys like it.

[Reddisback]

thanks guys. talk to you later. i have to eat first, then i have to pedle my bike an Hour to Pick up my copy, and then go Home. Pray that my copy is there, and not some one elses...?

[imnotgeoff]

oooo i like it

[Von Heydte]

Hey, if you're talking about a German themed squadron, I'm all in. Going with your squadron name 'Richthofen', why not name it JG2 since 'Richthofen' was its squadron name anyways. The Squadron was stationed entirely on the Western Front and the Med against Western opponents and since I love killing Spitfires, it would be perfect. LOL. Here's a wiki about the squadron.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdgeschwader_2

[imnotgeoff]

wow thats some gud names bein suggested

[Reddisback]

thanks for the names everyone!

Soo... we're got 2 contenders to challenge: first is Sonderkommando Elbe, and nummer 2 is JG2 'Richthofen' after manfred von Richthofen. wich has your vote?

other topic. just before dinner i had a phonecall from a store wich said that they just braught in IL2 Sturmovik for the 360 and asked if i was still intrested? ( what were they thinking?!) and after a Loud ''YESSS!!'' i took my bike to the store ( 10 miles away from were i life) and found out that they DIDENT HAD A COPY OF IL2! completly ruining my Night!

so i i have to wait 'till the 24th of September, 11 days from now......****.

[El Hadji]

Im up for it as soon as the german cockpits get here!

[imnotgeoff]

[imnotgeoff]

[phlux]

I hate that for ya Redd. That's one serious tease. I was lucky and GameStop only teased me for one day, and that was two weeks ago :o

I'm with the Hadj on the German Cockpit situation. Perhaps we can just fly our weapon of choice until that happens, then we can select an Axis ride.

[imnotgeoff]

we should get some games together soon

[Ferigno]

Two Words;

Pre Order

Possibly one, if you hyphenate

About Elbe. Some may have Heared about a Special department in the Lufwaffe, named Sonnderkommando Elbe.
Elbe was set up to follow, to what some say, a German Variant to the Japenese Kamikaze.
Elbe was known for flying their ME- 109's into a large formation of American Bomber and then to Crash or collied in them, thus damagin the Bomber or even destroying it. It is Here by, that I, Redd, is Garanteeing the Oponent for a Fair and Civil Fight.
(even if you're gettin' slaughterd)

that was all... Class dissmissed.

[Von Heydte]

You could set up a Silver account and name it "SonderKom Elbe" for a convienent way to track members.

red is meant to be setin a private group up at some point n makin it invite only.an maybe keep this forum goin to get new members

[phlux]

Excellent, now I get a staff position since I suggested the name right? ;)

Let's remember that the Sonnderkommando Elbe (Special Command, Elbe River) was not a suicide squad. Intentions were to destroy their planes, but also to bailout and make their way back to base.

"When the machine guns are dry and the cannons are empty....We are at our most dangerous..." :grin:

If you wish? i'm watchin yourube right now on their episodes of History channel,
about ''Luftwaffe's Deadliest Mission'' from Dogfights. I am also thinking about makig a New YT profile about Elbe, as a Home base out side this Site, i mean?

I have a Gold Membership so i'm not possible to make a silver one?

[phlux]

Redd, you can create a silver account for free through the xbox dashboard. You can't play games with it, but it's a great way to have an additional friends list. Just like the BoP 1C tag that's stickyed here.

That's a good call Von Heydte.

[Reddisback]

okay, then i will. I also tried to make an account for Youtube in the Name of Elbe, but if you have so meny accounts like I have, Jewtube will so ''No'' one time or another?

EDIT: I'm on Online. if you want to be friends, send a FR

[Reddisback]

EDIT/EDIT i cant make another list, my internet connection doesnt allow it?

[imnotgeoff]

[Reddisback]

on XBL. i fed up on spending Hours with my laptop on my lap trying to get my sweatheart ( my elite) in her way.
And yes, i talk to my console.

[phlux]

Says "gamertag entered does not exist on Xbox Live" when I tried to shoot it a request.

[imnotgeoff]

gamertag does not exist.just use the private GROUP on here itl be easier an everythin will be in 1 place then

[Von Heydte]

Heh. You could be the Personnel Officer filling out promotion orders, filing evaluation reports, etc. LOL. Probably not what you were thinking ;) I've been crashing into a bunch of ppl lately so this squadron would probably be appropriate.

[imnotgeoff]

when are the invites bein sent on here?redd's set the group up

[imnotgeoff]

this aint happenin is it

[Reddisback]

To those who want to become a member of Elbe, just send a FR to Reddisback and then i'll get you sorted when my copy is in in the next 9/10 days. i'll let you know when i got it, and i'll arrange the setting from the replies here on the forum. My time zone is Central Europe.
wich is Berlin, for those who live in England that just 1 Hour ahead of your time zone, and the Few Frenchies have nothing to Worry about. i'm on yours. I life in Holland BTW,.

I play 90% of my time around 19:00 to 23:00, those are my famous time zones.
to those who life in the United States, then the Time zones that I'm on- line are 6 hours ahead of yours in you life on the East Coast and 8 If your A** is laying on the Beach in California , but we have this forum when we can arange the times we meet.

Weekends are the days i'm mostly up 24/7 on Saturday and Sundays to around 22:00

as i said, the problems with times zones causes that we canot meet all members at the same time. Most people ( including me) have a Job, so the Time that You Yanks are online, I could be asleep or at work? we have Weekends that are solving that problem up.


that'll be all. BTW, Were are all those INvite's to Elbe? i thaught we had enough of the RAF controlling the skies? Join the Luffwaffe. Down the Brittish!

[imnotgeoff]

[Reddisback]

invites send, Geoff. No need to be alerted?

[Von Heydte]

Where in Holland do you live Stefan? I used to go to AFCENT International school in Brunssum back in 1987-1989. Our family loved to go to Maastricht on the weekend to go shopping and not to mention that Operation Market Garden is my favorite battle.

I just life up north there. ever Heared of Deventer or Apeldoorn? well, there is a small village between them called Twello, and thats were i life. the Deventer Rail Road bridge was destroyed by the German to stop the Allies. Its about an Hour away from Nijmegen and arnhem?

[Von Heydte]

Wasn't Deventer where they filmed "A Bridge Too Far"? We've been up that way many times.

[Reddisback]

Yes, the bridge too Far was actually filmed in Deventer. Kinda Ironnic actually. i went across the Bridge yesterday to see if my copy of Il2 was there?

I used that bridge when i went to school

[mattd27]

Got your group invite...had to decline. I'm just really not into the axis planes. Except for the He-111, it's just got a great look. Can deal some serious damage in Strike too!

If your just looking for a competitor/player on 360 though, you can send me an FR.

has anyone got the aviator flight stick?if they have is it any good?how easy is it to use

[phlux]

I do, it's not the best by any stretch, but it's much better than the controller. There is the famous "dead zone" issue, and the build quality is something to be desired, but all in all it's not too bad.

The only time I have much trouble with the dead zone is engaging ground targets with rockets.

[Reddisback]

.... I wonder why this isent a Sticky yet? ...

[Robotic Pope]

.... I wonder why this isent a Sticky yet? ...

Do you see any of the other Squadron threads with a sticky?
