fumps Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi guys I doubt anyone will remember me (I joined back in 2008 briefly & then left with not much interaction) so I thought I would offer my re-application as a trainee pilot/bullet magnet. As a brief explanation I joined ages ago & then life got very bad for me, so gaming took a back seat for a long while, I have got back to a close approximation of normality (well as close to normality as i can hope to be in lol). so now I will be joining you soon (Pending my re-application acceptance). My revisit came from your email that came round & reminded me that the Danger dogs was a nice place to be & you welcomed me with open arms before so I think it's time to come back. So here goes guys What brought you here to apply for membership of the DangerDogz Squadron? I descoverd the world of Il-2 by sheer mistake & was blown away by what I found. I was still in training when I joined last time but am a very dedicated learner. then one day I googled something random (Forgot what it was now ) and stumbled over your hidden aerodrome. It is a happy place with plenty of sheep! Can you provide names of existing members who can vouch for you? Unfortunately Because of my extended absense I have to throw myself at the mercy of the court of acceptance & hope you will trust me on my word of honor.......erm...... Tell us a little about yourself, humour encouraged I'm 36 years old, almost house trained, I laugh all the time & rarely take myself seriously. I'm a rampant nutter, Dad, Bass Player, Dog owner, mountain biker & Maker of adhesives (Also I can get duct/gaffa tape at trade prices). I am also a strong team player, not a glory hunter, I support better than triumph, usually because I make up for my lack of skill with blind dedication & sometimes a bit of luck. Do you have TeamSpeak 3? Not yet but that can easily be changed. What version of IL2 do you have? All the above (New PC under construction as we speak, It's on hold until Santa has been & gone) What other simulators or games do you enjoy? Call Of Duty, Moto GP, Battlefield 2 & 3, Gears of war 1, 2 & 3, basically any game where I get to blow stuff up !!! I'm also learning the finer points of flying my plane into other peoples bullets, it's a skill i seem close to be close to mastering, also I have become adept at IL-2 parachute sailing, forward run & dive on chest.......Landing is also something I'm finding a little tricky. My best landing is the parking on the nose style (Almost mastered that too). Do you like sheep? Being a Yorkshireman I have to step away from this subject forthwith & If any information was to come to light regarding my relationship with any wooly live stock on the internet or any of my family, I will have to say that I was probably young, drunk, Drunk & young or just plane needed the money & then point over your shoulder & say "Look a distraction" And leg it. I hope the above information will be adequate for my re-application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 ~S~ Fumps Welcome back to the frey. Remeber, the Dogz fly Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,& Sundays at 19:30 GMT.

fumps Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Cheers mate I still see my most successful flight was playing the origional IL-2 on the Stalingrad mission. on the way back I could see through my plane lol I managed to wrestle the beast back to a slightly bouncy landing & ended up on the nose parked. Ahhh time for a cuppa lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Welcome back. We've retrieved your kennel from mothballs. You'll just have to tidy up a bit. Hello fumps, welcome back m8. I'm pretty sure that since you're already a DangerDog you don't need to re-apply and you should already have access to all our most closely guarded secrets like the details of our teamspeak server, the mandatory requirement to fly naked, etc., etc. You'd better check out all the threads on HSFX 6 though as that is the version of IL2 we are currently flying as our 'standard'. I see you live in Beirut Leeds. I'm half man/half Yorkshireman myself. How is life in God's own county? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted November 20, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Welcome back Fumps! (...) I laugh all the time & rarely take myself seriously. (...) Really 'rarely'? For the Dogz it still may be too often... If you want an easy way to bring your IL2 installation up to our current standard, then you can try and use CheckMods. (Or rather, use it on a copy of your IL2 installation,or rather make a backup copy of your IL2 installation, then run checkmods. Well, making a backup copy of your installation is always a good idea before you apply any updates and/or mods onto it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumps Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 HI Guys Sorry I dissapeared then, was taken down by a nasty Viral Infection that came out of nowhere, (been off my feet sinse last Tuesday)....yuck ! Cheers for all your welcomes & guidance Its all useful stuff. :) Right the story so far, I am at the back end of a major building project in my back garden, I'm just putting the finishing touches to my very own outdoor man-Kennel......It's a large posh shed Summer house that will be my hobby room, it will be somewhere for me to practice my bass, make noise, scratch me happy bags, peep at neighbours, store my victims, drink beer & also set up a PC for gaming/music. As a part of this I'm building a PC so all these links will be very useful once the beast is built & ready for action. last jobs are to finish the electrics & decorate it all......**cue evil cackle** DD_Arthur Yorkshire is all good mate, we still have all the hills & spend our time shooting our catapults over the pennines at the lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumps Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 How much are you wanting to spend and what (apart from gaming) will you use the PC for? Jabo Well It looks as though I'm on a low ball budget now (Grrr women & wanting to be warm.....I mean how selfish is that ?) Next she will be asking to be let off her chain ! So I may have to do this backwards as I just found out I cant sell my son (Life really is unfair ) . I'm actually writing up a rough budget right now in order to do battle with the mrs to see how much i can wrangle for the PC build. The PC will be used for Il-2 & some music edditing (I have a hard disc music system) so main music sequencing, but this wont be too taxing on it as I have all hardware for this. So I need to know what a mid to basic system will set me back ? I can build PC's but have been out of the game a while (Long story) so i am looking at places like CCL (Local to me) for parts to put it together.
