Guess I’ll take this opportunity to welcome a few new and old players back to the geschwader.

First and foremost I’d like to welcome back the one and only Stampf - founder and original CO of JG11. Stampf has been back for a couple months now and is knocking the rust off but is no less deadly out there.

Hooligan - the 3rd installment of the Stampf legacy, my brother, has been with JG11 a few months now and is quickly climbing the kill board in FSO and establishing himself in the Main.

10thMD - long time veteran of Aces High and JG11 has returned and has been flying in both the MA and FSO.

YoYo246- YoYo has been with us for many months now and has assimilated into our ranks beautifully. Yoyo is crushing it after learning to fly the German irons.

Xanax (Awful) - New to JG11 but not to Aces High. Welcome Sir, expecting great things from you.

Thanks Boss.

It's great to be up! And why I never said never. How could I pass on flying with both my sons as well as the remaining old gang and new sticks as well! It's a different game from the one I left 8 yrs ago...but the camaraderie, teamwork and dedication to excellence within the Geschwader has not changed. And with you leading the boys I can just enjoy flying in the wing without any responsibility beyond the mate next to me. A welcome and enjoyable situation for this old guy.

Fly JG11 and....Create the Experience!

Aces High Bug Reports / Re: Slid off runway

Throttle location would make no difference since these happen in belly landings that destroy your prop. The acceleration you get is faster than you would even on full throttle takeoff. You can touch down at 100 and get catapulted to over 200 on level ground, which blows your plane up rather quickly. I'm pretty sure I have damage in every situation since I normally touch down on wheels if not damaged. Usually oil leak or radiator hit that has destroyed the engine. I think one off the runway may have been just out of fuel though.

Its hardwired fiber optics so good on that end I just need the IP to trace but I cant find it

Your connection type doesn't matter, you can have 2 gig speeds and still have bad paths with high packet loss. Hitech has been plaqued with bad paths in my experience of traveling the world, connections to everywhere are amazing, but if you try to access Hitech you get massive packet losses or just outright showing down. I've gotten around these usually temporary problems by using a VPN to change my path. While the added path might add a couple milliseconds to each packet, the fact that they get there is hugely more important.
I could be downloading maps/skins at a couple KB/sec, then jump on a VPN and suddenly its MB/sec.
This came can be played solid on a dial up modem, its 100% about the quality of the connection, not the speeds.

Lake opened for them , saw their 2nd to last concert b4 the crash..

Was going to USF at the time, just b4 I had to change major from partying college kid to fatherhood..

As mentioned way above, I saw them in 77 at Soldier Field, Chicago in their prime.

I think it was in the 90s (could be wrong on yr), when they reformed with Johnny singing, I worked with them. I didn't mix.
But I just don't care for Johnny, he's exaggerating the role.

He was a pretty boy type in the late 70s-90s. His music sucked. He would have never fit the band. Suddenly over-night he took on this tough biker type roll, which LS was never about. And his vocals, IMO just aren't there.

I worked with 38 Special where the youngest Donny VanZant sang some. He came closer to the Ronnie image. He was actually a lil bit more rowdy than Ronnie, who just stalked the stage.

ANYWAY, I still get in a old skewl LS mood once in a while.
