Old one here. Just trying to get back into some kind of flight sim.   Flew FR mostly cz but flew other sides along side Cuzco ( who recently passed away). Miss the days of aw.

sorry to hear of Cuzco's passing ( wasn't he Turbo of the Damned, before he went to Cuxco? or was it tremor? My memory is fading )

Good to get your message, EM, and give AH a try..... especially MNM in the Events from like 7:30pm est up to about 10pm ( That is Monday Night Madness, like meaning, tonight! heh)....also FSO's, scenarios and KOTH

Cheers,

TC

Grey Eagle in the p51 mustang! I played in the early 90's on Compuserve, then played AW on Gamestorm in the mid 90's. I played Aces High for a few years in the early 2000's. I was going to come back in about 2005 but got hooked on World of Warcraft! I'm 64 now. Just reminiscing, and I stumbled on your post. I remember Dok Gonzo, Vossman, Holmes, Dead Duck, Wild Thing, SpellBound, and of course Hi-Tech Just registered to say hi!

You are showing your age.

What ever happened to DD?

What ever happened to DD?

He's still kicking, I believe.  The old Bigweek news group went to Facebook.  I have seen people lose their lives to Facebook, so I avoid it, but I occasionally get notices that he's posted there.

FWIW, I believe that he and Hitech were among the old guard in the Gunfighters.  (Points proudly at his logo.)

You bet! 

Brooke there were scenarios before 93.  I have patches from earlier than that.  Midway was 1990 and an all day scenario starting at like 8am.  Rabaul was 1991.  Kursk was 1992 and BOG was 1992 or 1993 as well.  Sicily was 1993 or1994 a screen shot of me in a Fw190 near a B25 was in a major aviation magazine in an article about AW.  The one published for a time by that museum in Seattle.  Have a copy of that around here somewhere.

Fencer!  Howdy! 

I misspoke on 1993 -- but I'm still wrong because I thought it was 1992.

Here are the dates I have for some of the early stuff that I know of:

Munda Weekend (February, 1995; CO of IJAAF)
Sicily, '43 (August, 1994; CO of USAAF)
Imphal Plain (March, 1994; CO of RAF)
Battle of Germany (January, 1994)
Indian Ocean (July, 1992)

I had thought Indian Ocean in 1992 was the first.  Interesting to me to hear that Midway, Rabaul, and maybe Kursk were before that.

Thanks for info, and hope you are doing well!

I was -Elf- in AirWarrior 3 and I mostly played in the Big Pac or Eurotard 1 arenas.

Some folks had kill macros, I had those as well but I also had an "attack" macro that said "I'm a bully!! GIMME YOUR LUNCH MONEY!!!"

I will see if I can find my patches..  I was Allied CO for Rabaul we had 12 F4Us and 6 B25s and everyone else was in A6Ms.  We only lost one F4U.. yeah it was me, I was typing...  it was a complete massacre.  There were two Kursks.. and Both of them and Rabaul were by Dok.  The Midway one I am not sure about.

The Midway one was an all day event I believe the first year I flew AW, it was pre October 90 which is when I went to the 90 AW Houston Con.  Met Nobaddy there along with Airmiggan, Kelton, Ridgerunner, and a lot of other people I forget.. I am in the process of looking at scanning my photos from my airshows I went too years ago and I am sure I have photos of Cons.. I will try and get them uploaded somewhere and share them.. it's going to be a while, I have not been doing the best.

It was Guadacanal not Midway.. though I swear the first bit was Midway..  July 1990.

Cool!

I think the pic out of the GEnie LiveWire is an issue later than 1990, though.  Those features seem later than 1990.

I looked around on my dive and found this from Dok:
