I've done articles on flightsims and especially IL2, I've been even live on TV to promote IL2 and SoW and started a support-group on two of Germany's largest gaming networks. How many of you can say that?

You call me a "love sick puppy", a brown-nose and worse. So be it. But in contrast to you, I have something to look forward to and I will do my tiny little part to make it a success.


If you just want to bash the project, Oleg and his team, so be it. But what goes around comes around, this way or another. It surely won't change anything to the positive here or in general.

Hi Feurfalke,

Let me say first that if I hurt you I apologise sincerely, I tried to lighten up the debate but I realise that I was somewhat derisory. Sorry on that.

I do not like the name-calling habits from whoever, so I'm not happy about that brown-nosed stuff, especially in a forum where misunderstanding and miscommunication is so easy. We're part of the same community even though we do our best from time to time to split in two parties, like in the mods/no mods debate.

That very debate should be a lesson for us all: a lot of flames, personal attacks, passion about legitimacy of using mods, for what? Nothing at all. We are still in the same old boat, all together.

So maximum respect for you, mate, and for what you're doing for Il-2. The passion we share should be enough to keep us together in harmony, both the impatient critics like me, and the positive people like you, without the need to dig trenches and build walls, just exchanging opinions, and maybe hot posts, but always wth the due respect.



Regards,
Insuber

Not me.
Sarcasm and wit sometimes translates very badly into someone’s second tongue/language.
I think we should always remember that. Although this forum is English, that may not be our mother tongue. So what some might find hilarious repartee others may feel offended.
I think we should al remember that.
So can we all relax now and get back to what we do best, whine

My Wife giggles joyously when I'm in the middle of an aerial scrum and she calls my attention away to kill a spider or some such other manly task only to lose my adversary and likely snap-roll into the hill.

She's threatened many times to get on my pc while I'm at work and learn how to fly using my online nick thus totally trashing any amount of credibility or respect I may have earned over the last 8 years in this community. Accordingly, I've started turning off the power switch on the PSU. She'd never find that solution in 15 years. Better than a password too because she might call and say her laptop won't boot and she needs the password to get online to do the banking, but if it won't even turn on, it'll have to wait til I get home now won't it?

How many times have any of you answered the door with a tracking dot stuck on your forehead? I had an half hour conversation with 2 Jehovah's Witness's with that dot stuck on me head. I then upgraded to a vector pro clip for my hat but forgot it was on my head and only remembered whilst queuing in the super market, i was wondering why i was getting some sideways glances!! Thankfully I now use the Pro clip.

I thought this was interesting:

Any server will be able to choose to allow only certified content, or any non-certified content at any time, or even certified Maddox-created content but with modified parameters.
UI take that to mean that server side settings will be very diverse... and the encryption will be rather robust. Whish IMO is a good thing because in the presence of options IO think people will be less likely to try to hack the sim.. except those who just want to try to do it regardless.

Women just don't know how to appreciate us.

Afterall we are at home, not drinking with boys, chasing some skirt or working on some stay away from the house project at work.

The wife of a friend told me she had no problem with her husband playing WOW even into wee hours of the morning.

She was glad he was home, she knew where he was and she could get him to help with the baby if necessary.

Then of course she is a very intelligent woman, very well educated and has enough sense to sort the real issues from emotional whines women so often use on us.

My friend is very fortunate. Most of my friends who sim have emotional whiners for wives, and the only way to please them is hang around the TV set and watch the girlie boy shows, with all the limp wrist dudes sucking on their tongues while they talk.
