OMG what have I gotten myself into:

[d.burnette]

Being an ex IL2 1946 - PF- FB user, who enjoyed them immensely, and have finally taken the plunge and have purchased/installed CloD, I have to wonder what in world am I doing LOL...

Well the sim is installed and I have been kind of in a holding pattern, trying to figure out the next best step - the best proper order to do things going forward - have at least somewhat of a plan. I spend time on these forums, these many forums I might add, trying to learn as much as I can by what others have already done and gone through...

I want to get in there an fly, maybe nothing but a quick instant action mission of some sort, but feel so dang unprepared to even consider such a thing. I do not feel I am anywhere near that point as of yet.
I do feel, wants I get my arms wrapped around this sim and comfortable with it, I will find great enjoyment. I suspect I am some time away from that though.

Well I have gone in and set all graphics now, close to what has been suggested by some of the faq's here. Have succesfully flown the takeoff and landing training in the biplane.

I figure my next best move is to get many of the controller assignments set and mapped to my Cougar. Start to build a Cougar file just for this sim. I have gone in and printed out my macro commands I had set for IL2 1946 with my Cougar - I will use this as a baseline to start building the profile for my stick for CLoD.

Perhaps later tonight I will get back into the controller menu and begin this process - maybe once I get some of this done I can load up some quick action and get some early impressions of this sim - course, at the rate I am going, perhaps the new patch will be out by the time I am ready to click that fly button!

I am just rambling gang, don't mind me. Kind of keeping a chronology as I go of my progress lol.
