Though I haven't played WB in months, I finally went the distance and ended it with a phone call today to North Carolina.

It was strange, and sad too.  Felt like the end of something ... substantial?  However, there were also feelings of excitement, like when I first started WB in the spring/summer of '97.  The next generation is around the corner, and I'm right here, right now, waiting. Nothing like the anticipation of wondering what lies around the corner.  I thoroughly enjoy it  

Hitech & Pyro, there's only two things I really want right now:
1. a La-5FN
2. to fly with my wingie again, Mojave aka 715.

Make it so.

Yeah right Natedog.

As everyone knows, apart from other similarities, programmers/artists use a timescale similar to our canine friends (where one human year is worth multiple dog years).

Therefore by my cunning powers of deduction I have deduced that:

One HTC month = two human weeks

Am I right or am I right?

NATEDOG, that is friggin' FANTASTIC!!!

I've already called up the 16GIAP, which closed down ops a couple months ago on WB.  Wow!  This is going to be great!

Hey Natedog:

How long do you think it takes you (in hours, weeks, or "Centars") to design the visual model of an aircraft?  Or... is it dependant on the type?  I would assume that it's easier to whip up a Spitfire than it is a B-17...but let's just say the average fighter?  

(sorry, i've had BattleStar Gallactica on my mind lately.  It's a sickness...)

Thanks, NATEDOG!  It's really something to finally see your dream plane take shape.  Though the screenshot angles were quite extreme, everything looks to be there.

Many thanks to HTC!!!

Ya idu na La-5FN.
