Welcome Buddy,

I'm only the pretty face ~cough~ that greets you at the door. The guys with the brains will be along tonight or tomorrow to help you out with HyperLobby, TeamSpeak and getting set up.

UBI is just a company name. Don't worry about it.

Feel free to go into the other forums and find info on all aspects of IL2 and the Fightin' Irish. Don't let the stuff about us frighten you, we're mostly harmless ... mostly.

If you decide to stay a while, there's an application form you can get to by clicking the SQUADRON button on the front page.

I hope you enjoy the forums. We're quite proud of them.

If Falcon is the good looking one then I must be the one following after with the brains - but neither of us are famous for our modesty (or flying prowess :lol: )

Most of the technical stuff you will find here:

http://www.endlager.net/fis/phpBB2/view ... 01cf071449" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

We tend to use Hyperlobby so check in there and you will often find one or more of us with the :FI: prefix. Join the server we are in and introduce yourself. If you can fly Sunday (evening Europe, afternoon US) then we tend to congregate then for squad coops. One of our North American members runs a session called Historic Encounters on Friday evenings US time - if that is of interest go along to the forum they have and introduce yourself there too.

Hope to see you on my 6 soon.

Currently we are patched up to 4.05 and soon gonna be 4.07.

If you wish to easily patch your Il-2 FB /AEP/PF to most current version get the Il-2 Sturmovik 46 - one disc to rule them all - it contains all the FB/AEP/PF stuff with Pe-2 addon, Sturmoviks over Munchuria and the 46 too.

You can also download the 3 addons from the internet via UBI website (I thinnk) ,but it is more economical to get the one dvd and have it all on one disc, all new and shiny, smelling with newness :) However ,Im not sure if the 2 last addons are already avalible for download.

S!

Yes, if the plane permits, you can ride along as a gunner.

If you're well-behaved we'll even let you shoot the gun. :)

Hi Escort!! Welcome!

You can do many things in the sim - it's fantastic.

The guys here are great too. I'm quite new to the squadron and they let me play target-drone and even let me stay in the rear slot of the formation and watch out for enemy AC all on my own too! Next year I'm allowed to move off the P.11 too!!! Fan-tas-tic!! :lol:

Hope to see you in the virtual skies soon!

OK, well after doing some research and help from you guys, i now know how to play online....only thing is i pre-ordered 1946..... waiting for that so i can get the pe2 mod too. So unfortunatly i wont be able to fly with you guys until it arrives..... keep a spot for me reserved until then aye?

What is your guy's teamspeak address? Then i can directly ask all my newbie quuestions. ;)
