CupOHemlock Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I have been around for a bit and really love this sim. I have been a sim jockey for years and I love the challenge. My first sim memory dates back to MS Flight Simulator in the mid-80s. I started enjoying DCS A10 awhile back and began with no pedals, and an old Saitek throttle/joystick combo (I think it was the X.46?) That stick set died on me and I moved on to the X51 and had a blast with that, but always drooled over the TM Warthog and pined longingly for the TrackIR. Well, I finally decided that life is short and I likely will never get the wife of 30 years to let me get a pilot's license, so I plunked down the cash on for the Warthog, the TrackIR and even got a decent set of Saitek pedals. I almost paid Kinkos a fortune to print out the manual, but my conscience caught up with me, so I spent a lot of time practicing with the training missions and printing out useful cheat sheets here and there to make using the controls more second nature. I am looking for a friendly bunch of simmers to share the air with and get better. I saw the post with squadrons listed, but a few I tried are either no longer, or not taking members, so I thought I would fire a shot across the bow, so to speak, here. Moderators, if this post violates any rules, please remove it and do not punish me too harshly. Just thought I would test the waters and see which groups are active.

joey45 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Would also help where you are from..? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
