xTbonex Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Like it says in the title, was fun flying with you guys last night, and also thanks for the warm and friendly welcome. It did highlight a few things, I totally sucked ass, lol. I have a lot of practicing to do. i didnt realise how rusty I have become, but then I guess a 10 year haitus would do that. its pretty clear though there is a void to cross to catch up to you guys. lol anyway, thanks for your patience, and also the snippets of advice, I'd forgotten some of the finer points of flying and CEM so its going to take a while to get back up to speed, plus each different type of plane has its own nuances. Im likely to totally suck for a little while while I get my head round things, but most of all i think its just experience flying and that will come in time. anyway, it felt good to be back up there again, and also feels great to be meeting some new people. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 26, 2020 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Your Welcome. There are plenty of guys that are willing to help you with different areas of expertise. Fly which ever way is best for you. We also probably need to get you up to speed with the mods that we use (but that can come when the current information overload has settled down a bit!)

xTbonex Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 yeah that sounds good, also would be nice to do some skinning when I get time. I used to create my own back in the day. im quite handy with photoshop. I havent told any of you about my 'other' hobby yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 26, 2020 2. Administrators Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Anyway...Good to see you online Tony, hope you are able to get some regular stick time. If you're intending to fly the P-38 campaign, and need some assistance setting up multi-engine controls, I'm happy to jump on TS and assist (outside office hours, I'm supposed to be working - lol).

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted October 26, 2020 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 You did bloody well for someone who hasn’t flown in a group for an age Tbone ! Being such a nice bloke may stunt your progress though ? Maybe work on being more of a “git” ? 👍🏻😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTbonex Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I do need to work on my craftiness for sure. yes I had been practicing my basic flight, but not so much combat training, that usually comes on the job I find. At least for the most part I was able to keep up with formations etc... its like riding a bike, you dont forget, but you definitely need to do it often to pull any stunts. oh and my other hobby, definitely not underwater blow football. lol have a look at my instagram. you can see some of my photoshop work in action.https://www.instagram.com/tonyfoot/ try to behave on there!

xTbonex Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 P38's are tonight arent they!? I should be ok with my mapping etc... it was a bit odd that when I joined your DF server some of my bindings werent functioning properly as they had been when I was playing solo, but theyve been reset now and appear to be working ok. anyway, hopefully thats fixed now. one thing I have done barely no practice on is taxiing. but I guess theres not loads of that on campaign nights, otherwise we could be there a while. lol 20 SECONDS!!!! Oh and, I've not really taken a P38 into combat yet. so its likely going to be a short flight for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted October 27, 2020 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Might be an idea to get some taxi practice in Tbone - we actually do more taxying in the campaign then any other of our events! It's a cold start at dispersal spawn (so you'll need to know how to start your engines if you have not already done so) and then we taxy from our dispersal to the into wind runway. P-38's a pussycat in that regards, but know that the rudder pedals do not steer the nose wheel; you'll need to have your left and right wheel brakes mapped to be able to make turns as that's the only way to steer! Are you available around 2000 tonight? If so I can help you through a few starts and taxying practise if you'd like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTbonex Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 yes I can jump on at 8pm, thats no problem, and I will get those individual wheel brakes mapped. sounds like I need some practice on that. although as you say the P38 is quite well behaved on the ground, unlike that Spitifire 9.
