Looking to justify Irresponsible Flight Sim purchases

Post by RogueDemon »

Hallo, hello, Areet.

My name is Jamie. Or Rogue Demon in game. From the UK. Who does a boring gov job during the day and Plays with (sometimes teaches) Medieval sword fighting on an evening, plays guitar or Plays silly war games on the evening! I used to play Post Scriptum competitively and when I can I join the R.I.P Ad Hoc arma 3 op's

I can speak the tiniest amount of German, since my partner is German.

I would like to fly some planes in a team multiplayer setting and Finnish etc isn't really cutting it for me (mainly cus I suck and need someone watching my 6 :mrgreen: )

I have about 50 hrs in Il-2 BOx and 61 in 1946 from a while back when. Most of the BoX experience is in ground attack planes like the IL-2, mainly the 1941 and 42 models.

I like ground attack because I am marginally better at hitting stuff and like when things blow up. But happy to play any role as long as the dogfighters dont get too pissed when I fail at saving them ;)

Fav allied planes (roughly translates to planes I can competently fly)
-Spitfire
-Hurricane
-Il2
-I-16

Axis planes
MC 202. (pretty sure this plane shoots BB's rather than MC guns)
109's the F2 and F4. Thus far.
J87. Very small amount of time in this but I love the sound it makes.

Perhaps I will speak to you all soon :)

I literally used to play on a logitech stick and nothing else. Though I've just had a brain wave that I could use that for extra buttons.

I git a VKB stick with pedals and track ir in one go. Which was allot. But I found myself lonely running campaign by myself (PWCG). And find hardly any comms in combatbox or finnish that help much. So figured I'd give something else a go.

Yeah, I think a lot of people start their flight sim careers using the Logitech Extreme 3D pro! PWCG is great, but the AI really ruins it for me. Our campaign is pretty amazing.
