Shadrach Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Hello god People. BG was kind enough to invite me to join The Danger Dogz which I consider an honour. Just sniffing around - not cocked a leg yet. I've downloaded TS3 but when I try to connect I get: <20:23:49>Failed to resolve hostname '216.6.226.108:8972':Host not found. Probably something simple and obvious but any pointers welcome. Not sure how often I can fly as computer time in our house is hotly contested. I have claimed Saturday nights and defend them ruthlessly and bloodily but other times might be a bit tricky depending on homework, social networking and internet shopping. Will have to build another system and install it in the bedroom (more black looks from the old trouble). I much enjoy the Saturday Coops. Basically I'm still the little kid I was way back when when we used to fantasize we were Spitefire pilots tearing around the playground yeowling and rat tating at each other except now, with computers, software and electronic gadgets and gizmos, I can fantasize beyond the wildest dreams I had back then, so I'll be buggered if I let over 5 decades of creeping senility and cynicism get in the way. Hope to fly with you soon. Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I thought you might see this thread Shadrach but apparently not. http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php/topic,8673.0.html The IP you were using for TS3 has been changed. There is a link to TS in the above thread. Let us know if you are good to go. Quote
Rattler Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Alright, enough with the platitudes! We want dirt! Where are you from? What do you do? Do you fly online very often or not? Can you fly with one hand, and drink with the other simultaneously? Dog or cat? BMW or Chev? Etc. etc. Welcome to the pound, Shadrach! When will Meshach and Abednego be along? Quote
JensenPark Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Glad you are 'officially' with us now! Look forward to seeing you on-line as DD_Shadrach. (or maybe as DD_Hananiah?) Quote
T_O_A_D Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Watch out for this one, if he's still running with his buddies from the old days, Meshach, and Abednego, he's got a co pilot for sure. Welcome to the pound Shadrach Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 13, 2010 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 13, 2010 Welcome here Shadrach ! Quote
CaptJackG Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Welcome m8...look forward to flying with you Quote
DD_Arthur Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Good to see you here m8, welcome to the Dogz. I understand you've got your t/s3 trouble sorted now? Quote
Perfesser Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Since you've flown here before we won't be able to catch you with the "20 seconds" initiation. I feel cheated. Anybody still have the whoopee cushion? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 13, 2010 2. Administrators Posted January 13, 2010 Anybody still have the whoopee cushion? Painless had it last time I heard - something about 'working through some personal issues'... Welcome Shadrach. Quote
Shadrach Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've got the TS3 sorted, as I suspected it was me being dense. Will try and look in on Thursday for a quick spin but I start work 6am GMT this week and crawl out of bed before 5 so it wont be for long. I've been fairly well hooked on IL2 for a while - starting with the original Sturmovic disc - but I still fall spectacuarly short of an ace. I used to fly as Farmer Giles untile I changed email address and found I couldn't use it any more. I enjoy the hardware side as well as the game, building my own computers etc. I've even knocked up a fairly successful joystick and pedal set which is a work in progress. I've just turned 58 but as I havn't noticed too many spring chickens hopping around here I don't feel so bad. Judging from my own kids I suppose the learning curve and commitment needed for the game dosn't appeal to so many of the spotty ones. Plus it's ancient history. I've become immune to the sneers of my loved ones, "Oh look - the sad old git is on the computer playing with his aeroplanes again hoo hoo. And he's got his baseball cap with the deely boppers on hoo hoo hoo". I come from Devon, SW England, right on the edge of Dartmoor so I know all about sheep. Watch out when I join you, I'm pure killer grrr. Quote
BadAim Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Welcome to the pound. Have a sheep and a smile.... Quote

2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 13, 2010 2. Administrators Posted January 13, 2010 "adults" Growing older is mandatory - growing up strictly optional. Quote
