Thanks for chiming in guys. I wish I would have saved more artifacts from back then, but we were all busy having fun we thought would never end.
ElAurens I certainly remember you guys from back then. It was Blitzpig EL right? I have no tracks of GreaterGreen which was one of the all-time great hard-settings servers, none of Aviar's dogfight server which was also hard-settings. I lost a hard-drive years ago along with much stuff. My fault because I had them set up as raid-0, two IDE WD-Raptor 10,000 rpm drives, and when one of the pair burned out that was the end of that....LOL. S!

Yeah, and I still wear the tag, as do most of the Pigs, even though we don't fly much at all anymore.
We dabble with the new "Battle of" series a bit, and a couple of us still have '46 installed and will fly it once in a while. It's a pity that the flight sim world, as far as WW2 goes, is such a bloody shambles. We lived through the golden age of the genre, when IL2 was a benchmark in the whole world of PC gaming. I still have a few screens from the old days... Me, dueling with an F4F...  BlitzPig_Raven (background) and myself heading home after a ground attack mission...  And, the BlitzPigs on the Kuban. And yeah that's really us.  I'm third from the left in the front row.

I have at least one track from Spits_vs_109s from 2005 where Lixma is flying around in a 109g2 shooting people down in a fairly relaxed fashion. I will make it into a video and put it up when I get a chance.

I'd love to see that.
He would also do that with the P40 when it first came out. Circle at very high altitude where no 109 pilot would expect him and shoot them down with impunity.

Try this link. Hilariously because I am still running windows XP I can not watch this video on YouTube except for in 360p resolution even though I put it up.... Let me know if you can see it in high-def. S! Last edited by KG26_Alpha; 02-21-2018 at 06:31 PM.

Hey, that is a pretty bad video of Lixma I made, but I had not made one for a long time, and it was about midnight when I finished it up, so oh-well. Maybe someday when I am inspired I will try again......

There were two of them in later period. One with external views which allowed to fly "nonflyables". Great fun.
