The sim has improved greatly since beta. I sure as heck haven't

I can't remember which Beta version I first tried, 0.38? I only flew Beta offline since I wanted to try and actually get used to the game before going online. I think it helped since the only thing I was stuck on was how to work the radio! I've been online non-stop since Tour 1.

I do remember your name though Janneh, what squad were you in back then?

I used to have all the Beta versions saved but they're all lost now apart from this one:-

Download AH 0.49 - 5.6mb

Showed up about 10 days after the open beta started. Flew off & on till they added more planes, & the b17.

I've flown every tour since then except for the first month of pay for play.

I'd have to say 1.02 was my fav release of all time. Stayed up all night with a squadmate shooting down planes with Panzers. It rocked eh teeerex?

Dudedog, CavemanJ, Zigrat and me in heavy Corsairs heading to enemy base:

That was taken after the game went pay to play.

During beta I was 214CaveJ and I signed on I think the 2nd or 3rd day of open beta. Was a buff driver back then, flew the -17 pretty much most of the time... I remember when we finally got guns on it! Lord what a surprise I gave the fighter jocks then

The F4U-1C was introduced the day the game went pay to play IIRC.

Sometimes I miss those days... The map was alot of fun... did alot of NOE B-26 runs to take the center bases in other areas and then launching immedately to pork the strat of that country and basically reduce them to flying only base defense

Started out in tour 1 i think, was when the 109 was "impossible" to land and the sky was swarming with pee-51's. It was my first taste of online flightsims. Can't remember my first handle anymore (something with "duck..."), but used "shotdown" in one of the first post-beta tours. I prolly should have stuck with that

Alpha tester checking in here. I still owe some guy named FireFox a shoot down for vulching me on the tarmac during my first take off. Only other alpha guys I remember were NB and Zork.

I'll be back......
