Hi Pizzi
Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself last night, despite a few technical problems.
Your description of the squad is spot on - no ranks, no real formality, just respect for one another and politeness - even when we are joking with each other.
We sometimes suffer when we come against well drilled squads in online wars or team matches, but in these type of coops it works very well and makes for a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening with like minded friends. I think I speak for most of us when I say we like things this way.
Spend a few evenings with us and see if you want to join.
Cheers
Nellip

Welcome aboard Pizzacato.
If you have read through the full recruiting post at Ubi and it did not put you off then you have found yourself as sanctuary from all lifes ills.
I've not been able to spend as much time flying as I would have liked recently, but I have to say, you will not find a better group of guys to enjoy your online flight time with.
Hope to see you online soon.

Hi Pizzi!
Hey, competing against another ooman is definately more challenging, and yes there is a 'pride' element there, but don't worry about it! It's the best way to learn. I'm sure that the other chaps will concur that it's the old rules - if you see 'em first you are 75% there! Give it a whirl and don't worry about being under canvas 9 times out of 10!! You'll pick up your own favourite approach as time goes on!
Technical issues!? Know the feeling. I sometimes drop out because of my connection. It's improved now and I just put it down to a shoddy ground crew!
Keep it up and I'll keep my eyes open for you in HL!!

Hi Macca,
Actually, no - I'm not a violinist. My tag actually comes from these guys:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sXkHIXNQvc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I've been a massive fan of theirs for nearly 15 years and own pretty much every one of their albums. The whole Shuba Kei, J-Lounge thing really works for me.
Hope this doesn't get me kicked out of the squad already.

Pizzicato I was wondering about that name too.

Not up on me Gaelic Falc but it didnae sound like anyone from these here parts.
Wish they were Scottish though.
100% better than most of the crap seen on the X-factor Scottish region selection thingymibob.
I quite liked them

Hi Pizzicato! I'm not flying with the FI at the moment until I buy the new IL2 series. Until then I'm just the guy you see running away when they come in to land. After all I'm just ooman!
