I can understand why you might choose to settle initially in Wisconsin or Minnesota. After all, Viking Runes were supposedly discovered in Minnesota, so that would be a good place for you to start. But I wouldn’t count Texas out just because of the heat. The temperature in Dallas is actually about the same as it is here in Cairo. Dallas does have higher humidity than Cairo, so it can feel a bit more uncomfortable.
But you Scandinavians have been in hot climates before. The shock troops of the Byzantine Varangian Guard were Vikings, mostly Swedes, but Vikings none the less. So there is a historic precedence to you guys flourishing in hot climates.
There is also your national pride to consider.
If Robert de LaSalle
could make it all the way down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico and then eventually start a French colony in Texas, how can any self respecting Norwegian at least not try to settle in Texas.

No worries. In a few years you'll all be Norwegian citizens. Just watch.
Well, Norway was recently voted the BEST country in the world to live in, so becoming a Norwegian citizen doesn’t seem to be an odious burden. I can actually see some of the benefits. Norway, and for that matter all of Scandinavia, has excellent food and you have definitely figured out the secret to producing pretty women. So there are many positive things to look forward to.
I would have liked to have added Mead to the list of things that Scandinavian countries excel at. But as strange as it may sound, and meaning no offense, the best Mead that I’ve personally had was Polish Royal Mead.
I’m also a bit less sure of how well some of your local Norwegian customs and traditions will go over with Texans. Texans are very resourceful, but perhaps a bit ridged in their thinking, but overall I’m hopeful that we will adapt well.
But please realize that once the Texans learn about Norwegian taxes, that there will be some friction.
How well the Norwegians adapt to being around Texans also remains to be seen.

I’m sure that you would feel right at home in Texas, you would not have any problems fitting in.
Your friend is a wise man, if he winters in Texas and only goes up north to relieve a bunch of Yankees of their money.
Also, please don’t worry about the Texas citizenship requirements. Citizenship in the Republic of Texas is open to everyone. Being a Texan is more a state of mind and a desire to live free, than just a stack of documents.

I see that you are still trying to camouflage your underground bunker complex.
Please remember that you’ll need to make arrangements to counter thermal imaging devices and ground penetrating Radar.

~S~ Roger,
I was able to get into my Private Messages and respond to one.
So thank you for all the help.
This place would be a Royal Mess without you.

Al-Qaeda or your masters at Langley?
~S~ BG
When will I ever be able to convince you that I’m just a simple Department of Defense Civil Servant?
Plus, I don’t really think I can blame the Boys from Langley for my inability to access my Danger Dogz Private Messages. The special Firewalls that Blairgowrie Industries has shared with the Dogz, should make my Private Messages impervious to unauthorized access.
Right Roger?In fact the Langley Boys should be grateful to me for helping them out with their little project down in the southern Sudan. I met with enough village elders and ate enough goat and camel meat to make me a full fledged field agent. Not just a guy on loan from Central Command.

For some reason I can’t open my Private Messages. When I try, I get an error message that says:
“the error needs to be fixed by an administrator”.

FREE Scotland and Wales!
I'm sure that will liven things up here.

Here, here.

That is a truly beautiful spot.
Stop on by when you come back for some home leave and I will de-tune you.
I don’t know about de-tuning me, the Army has tried that and has failed miserably.
Of course they still employee me.
But that is some beautiful country and I might take you up on your kind offer.

I’m still using an old Track IR2.
How necessary is it to have a newer version with 6dof?
Would I be missing a lot?

That is a truly beautiful spot.

Here, here!

I’ve got to get you to Texas Mate.
You’d like it there.
-
It looks like you had beautiful weather for the entire time you were there.
I’m really jealous.
-
It was the Texas Governor Mate, not Arizona.
Governor Perry killed the offending Coyote with a Ruger .380 automatic.
In honor of the Governor’s action, Ruger released a limited edition commemorative model, the ‘Coyote Special’

The loot in the flooded areas was ruined by the flood waters.
So the looters naturally gravitate to those areas where the loot is still reasonably dry.
-
Last May, Nashville Tennessee was devastated by record floods.
However, unlike New Orleans Louisiana, looting did not become a problem.
Here’s the reason why Nashville didn’t have a problem with looters.

In Europe, they are at least talking about cutting back on government spending and reducing their budget deficits. The U.S. government wants to continue borrowing billions from China and Saudi Arabia.
As T_O_A_D said, it’s sickening.

You’ve been flying RoF for some time now. What do you think about it, now that it has matured for a year?
I've spent more time testing, than actual fun flying, but it's nearly as ready as it's going to be I beleive.
It will have some tweaks and addons for sure, but it functional now.
Do you fly mostly 0n-Line? One of the main complaints was how little Off-Line content there was.
I'm 99% Online with it as I am with IL2, But again its mostly testing.
Finding a fun server, State side thats populated is even yet a bitch, with my schedule.
How difficult is it to get it set up and running properly? I understand that setting it up right can be a bit frustrating.
If you have a machine in the last two years, dual core, and a 896meg vid card or bigger, you should be fine.
I believe that you use a MS FFB Joystick. How well does that work with RoF?
It is the easiest stick to setup for ROF. The developers have designed the Game using that very stick, and they even recommend it.
I see that they are now offering a boxed addition called Rise of Flight – Iron Cross Edition. It now comes on a disk and has all the patches, upgrades and tweaks. Plus it comes with a respectable amount of aircraft and a few Off-Line missions and campaigns.
Based on your experience, would you recommend giving it a try?
If your into War aircraft, and History of them, and feel you won't mind a slow pace, Then yes, it's worth owning.
Dagger the Campaigns are scripted, I don't beleive the off line stuff is dynamic at all.
But if you can figure out the Mission Editor, you can include triggers.
I myself, am very frustrated with the mission Editor.

I'm more concerned with Painless and Sid keeping their pants on.
Why, are there sheep near the airfield?
But then we are talking about Painless and Sid.
So just about anything is a reason to………………..Celebrate. :fireworks:

I like green salads while squirls dance in circles around a flattened oppossom...............
Our resident chef has a recipe for Road Kill.
Why am I not surprised.

One day we had a tour around the factory and visit the kitchen among others. It was located in the basement and the sewer passed through the kitchen
I only ate rice for lunch rest of the week.Some of the toilets had a hole in the floor only, with wery small swing-doors and no toilet paper.
I can relate to that Sweper.
And I’ll share a toilet story with you.
A long, long time ago, I was in a bar in Saigon and had to visit the men’s room. There were urinals along the wall, but there were no pipes connecting the urinals to the sewer line.
Your urine simply poured out the bottom of the urinals, splashed on the floor (and all over your boots) and then disappeared down a floor drain.
Is Recruiting Still Going On?

Welcome to the Danger Dogz. We are always recruiting for what many of us believe is the best squad in the IL-2 community.
One of the more senior Euro Dogz will be along to welcome you. That is IF we can find any of them who are sober.
Our patriarch, Blairgowrie lives on the other side of the pond. He’ll be along in a few more hours to welcome you officially.
