Title: Closed my WB account
Post by: leonid on September 14, 1999, 01:24:00 PM: 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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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!

Post by: Brick on September 17, 1999, 04:46:00 PM: 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? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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

Many thanks to HTC!!!
