Title: The "I fly AHII AND post in the O'Club" thread.
Post by: DiabloTX on March 31, 2007, 07:08:32 PM: So, the other night I got me a new joystick. A Thrustmaster Top Gun Pro 2. I really hate the fragile daintiness of the Saitek's and the Logitech's. It reminds me a lot of my old MS Siderwinder Pro stick that I used for 5 years before it broke. And, the price was right. With CompUSA going out of business here they are having a big sale on all on-hand merchandise. With the discount and my giftcard I paid a total of $2.47. Not bad.

So I get home and plug it into my obsolete AMD 1700+ muscle machine and flew AHII offline. I downloaded AHII a while back but without a joystick never flew anything. I spent a good bit of time flying offline with the new joystick and I have to say I really like the improvements over the original AH game. As soon as my wife and I are settled into our new digs I will contact HTC and reactivate my account.

So beware fellow furballers, that DiabloTX you shot down was me. Ch. 200 will be clear. I fear I have about 5 inches of rust to knock off and then I will have to exercise my trigger finger to get my edge back. I can't wait to flame Storch's bellybutton sometime. But that's for another post...dotdotdot.

:aok

Post by: DiabloTX on March 31, 2007, 08:10:56 PM: No allegiance to any side. I'll probably spend my time in the only arena worth visiting regularly, AvA.

Yep, back to my old original name "Meatwad". Used to be Mtwd81st, but after my last break I decided to try for my old name. Turns out when I cancelled that account years ago my old CPID wasnt released yet form my old account.

I had them release it on the phone and 5 min later, Meatwad was back in action :)

Post by: eskimo2 on March 31, 2007, 08:55:10 PM: I just checked the score thing to see when I flew last:

August of 2005. Every month I checked before that for quite (about a year) etween 4 and 11 hours.

I'm thinking of getting back online; but I need a new machine...

Post by: DREDIOCK on March 31, 2007, 08:59:39 PM: Hmmmm. I think this was done a while back already

Anyone up for an O'club night in the MA?

We all pick the same side for a night and wing up together to wreak havok.

Hell I'd even be willing ot change sides for anight for that

Post by: DiabloTX on March 31, 2007, 09:13:28 PM: I'd love to do that but I'm not going to have internet access at my home until late April. Sounds like fun though.

What you have to do is focus on killing the other 99% that suck as bad as you do.

Post by: Viking on April 01, 2007, 02:48:56 AM: Flying on your wing my 110G will spread 30mm pain and suffering among your enemies ... alternatively we can fly head-to-head. ;)

Post by: DiabloTX on April 01, 2007, 02:51:29 AM: I appreciate the offer Reynolds but it was a spur of the moment type thing. I didn't go in to CompUSA looking for a joystick, but I bought one. Like I said, after $2.47 I couldn't miss.

Viking...you're lucky the 190 is my all-time favorite plane. We could wing in AvA, the only arena I every spent a lot of time in.

:aok

Post by: Viking on April 01, 2007, 02:56:42 AM: Which model 190 is your favourite?

Post by: DiabloTX on April 01, 2007, 03:00:33 AM: All of em that have radial engines.

Real men fly radials. Inlines are for girly-men.

It is good you prefer the Antons... I can keep up with most of them. ;)

Post by: DiabloTX on April 01, 2007, 03:09:13 AM: Actually the F's were the ones I flew the most when I was in JG3 and JG54. Jabo was my passion. Getting in there and really ****in' things up. Then get into a furball. Ahhh, the good ole days.

Post by: Viking on April 01, 2007, 03:10:20 AM: So ... when will you get your internet connection?
Title: The "I fly AHII AND post in the O'Club" thread.
Post by: Viking on April 01, 2007, 03:11:50 AM: Late April ... gotcha.
Title: The "I fly AHII AND post in the O'Club" thread.
Post by: DiabloTX on April 01, 2007, 03:14:27 AM: Yeah, haven't had a home connection since Feb 1 of this year. Only time I get on since then is here at work. They won't let me fly AHII while I do my job. Communist bastards.

Ohhh, a new "wishlist" item? A "boss key" for AHII!

Post by: Nilsen on April 01, 2007, 03:14:52 AM: an o'club night in MA would be great :)

Find a time and count me in!

Post by: Viking on April 01, 2007, 06:55:46 AM: There IS a boss key. Just ALT-TAB to a different program! (like e-mail or something). ;)

Post by: lazs2 on April 01, 2007, 09:19:06 AM: I put about 20 hours in this month... I run between 14-20 every month.

I use CH stuff... everything else is just a waste of money. I am hard on sticks and equipment so CH is the only viable choice... almost 3 years on the current ch setup.
