Il-2 fm is too weird for me planes continue to roll after joystick is centered.(feels like flying airbus.) Combat flaps in german planes?!?!?! Sure it looks cool. But well..box game is box game.
I found WB while looking around for nice, small games for my computer in download.com. I came across it by mere casualty, and then I got hooked into it. Well, I have been in FH for about 2 or 3 months... can't remember exactly. I was flying offline about a year ago, but stopped playing a couple of months after b/c i was getting tired of just flying to land in CV, and try to kill cons in air fight. I never got really good combat; I guess I never understood the laws of E and I didn't really know any combat maneuvers. I can't remember how I found FH, but I think I was searching for a place to download WB again. I looked around and decided to give a try... and that's how it all started =P Imagine this newbie used to easy flight, unlimited weapons, and no blackouts... My first sortie lasted about 17 seconds. The second one was about 2 mins =P So, I then came upon the forum and asked for a few tips. Help rained from everywhere! My first 'tutor' was Ho-Hun who gave me my first "push." Then came fla, and later Odi ( ) invited me to jg13. Odi, promet, and 'major' zembla have given the best to help me get better and better. Thank you guys . Now that i'm thanking people... Thanks illo for showing me scissors [i don't die as often as before now ], nicaee, ironmn, buenau, yellow, achtun, jg13, a lot of people from AFVS (who also kindly invited me to join their squad) and everyone else that gave me pointers, advice, or tips. I learn from every sortie that I fly from everyone that's with me. So, thanks golds for being there, and thanks reds for killing me! I'm impressed with the friendliness of the FH community. So far, the only things that I'm proud about in my short flight time are... a -perfect- landing on CV with no flaps, gear, or engine... and maneuver kill of illo lol... but he was flying with mouse so that doesn't really count. Well, thanks again! see ya up there soon... and please don't kill me anymore Luis [xlife-]
Hi i first started playing WB in februrary 2001 on the german server. After it was closed i changed to the FH-server. I wish to say a big thx to all people which make this possible . It´s the greatest game i ever played (an i have played many fly-sims ) Flubby check your six
Well I started only a few months ago, think it was November 2001. Friend kept on saying you will enjoy it so try it. Having never played a game on-line, I was not exactly relaxed but thought I give it a go. Well I got hooked within 1 hour. Flew some missions with my friends (who btw are now extremly rare on wb-fh) and then started to enjoy flying the ju52. As I was flying at relatively late hours (by gmt standards) I got noticed by the 'Bogeymen' who introduced me to the great art of raids and Ju52 work. Occasionally when on at a more reasonable time I would fly with Whiske who soon spotted my skills and asked if I would join GCVG. I accepted and have been flying GCVG since. I still enjoy flying the transports as although its slow and almost defenseless it is a challanged to fly when cons are around. To survive takes skill or great co-operation. CU in the Air and Hopefully not on my 6.
Rechalov me thinks. Btw. Any pictures of Khubovs(sp?) p-39? I've read pokryshkin comment that he was the best p-39 pilot.
pokryshkin perhaps?? a true elite?? i read somewhere that he convinced many of his squad mates to use his tactics.
2.70 Actually I don't remember when I first downloaded wb... but i'm flying online since september (i hadn't played much before - offline game was boring and ien too expensive ), so I can say I'm flying yaks for only 7 months.
Late 1995 - early 1996. Can't remember which version was it, before D9 was introduced. I bought my first Pentium PC in 1995 - P75 , paid a fortune for just released 28.8 modem and off I went on a search of adventure . Was crashing non stop trying to avoid planes taking off/landing from the same strip until someone explained that friendly collisions were disabled...
