Hello Gents,

I am very interested to take a look at all the Fighting Irish have to offer. After a long overdue vacation, I have recently re-installed FB/ACE/PF and am looking to get involved again. I was a part of a great crew from Europe before I left, but the time difference just made it very difficult for me to get together with them. While I still frequent their forums and such, I am really looking for a home more in my timezone.

As it stands, I am a bit out of practice, but can pick things up quickly. My interest lies primarily in mud moving but I would be interested to improve my dogfighting skills as well. I hear you guys do quite a bit on the historic side of things, so that is definitely something interesting me.


A little about myself:


I am a 28 year old Security Consultant from the USA that runs a website http://www.ughq.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and forums http://www.ultimategamingforums.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The site is a direct reflection of my interests and hobbies, which include everything from gaming to hardware and technology. I tend to game an hour or two randomly during the week and quite a bit on the weekend, especially Sunday. (This of course all depends also on what my wife has on the "honey-do" list :)

Other than that, I am a pretty easy going guy that likes to joke around a lot. Falcon has mentioned that there was a great group of people here, so I thought to check things out for myself.

Welcome mate!

If your schedule permits on Friday nights starting at 10:00 p.m. Atlantic time zone I host Historic Encounters. Most of the regulars are North American :FI: mates with even some lads able to join on a regular basis from overseas.

All are welcome to join these sessions. However, you do need to prepare yourself in terms of downloading the necessary custom skins, maps and such ahead of time. If you are interested please read through the Historic Encounters thread (towards the end) and take a look at our website here.

Regards,
TS!

Wow, that looks pretty awesome! I think I would definitely play there at some point. Probably won't be for at least a week or two, as I do not wish to embarass myself ;)

Join us anytime mate. Just armchair pilots pretending to be WW2 aces. Sessions are fun with lots of laughs.

We will keep your seat warm until you can make it mate. Let me know if you need any help.

TS!

Welcome Doctor!

Please join us on Friday or Sunday, those are two good times to meet some of the mates. Sunday we start around 1 or 2 o'clock Central time. You'll find us in HyperLobby flying V4.05. We will be on the top of the list with the prefix :FI:. You'll need our TeamSpeak address and password. Ask anyone or Gurberly in the "Communications" forum for that and take some time to set it up. The light next to the top right icon (of a radio) on our front page blinks if anyone is on there.

You'll need V4.05. Download that if you need to and ask for assistance in the "Tech" forum if you have a question.

Some of us still may be using V4.04. Ask about that in "Sessions".

That's about it.

If anyone else is flying before Friday, please let Strangelove know.

Thanks,

Falcon

Wow, this has been a very warm welcome, moreso than any other place I have been looking. Now either that means you really are a good bunch or sick and twisted enough to smell fresh meat to abuse and torture :evil:

Doc!

Have you already flown with our chaps? If not I´d recommend you to fly with our chaps some Historic Encounters on Fridays and tell us then your mind how it was.

Just in case you should lose your interest to join the squad because so much time has already lapsed I just want mention to be patient and to follow these steps. Hold on and you´ll be awarded with the membership in this madhouse ...
