Gary Cooper, Dave Masten? The legendary NOS, or Robin G Kim?

Papadoc (you in politics yet pal?)??? Joerg Stenger? Anyone from the
317th flying circus?

Anyone?

The dork that was a real pilot and never happy with any flight model?

Cheers :-)

I've seen Papadoc rear his head once and a while and NOS had so many
aliases who knows. I was here as Icer back around 1990 or so. That was
around the time when Andy Hollis posted and the keyboard cowards drove
him away.. That's been the only constant here, KB cowards and little
dipshits just keep on coming...

Not sure if it was John, aka "Toad" that was the pilot in question. He
was an airline pilot and owned a Stearman (?) biplane IIRC. He was
araound for Air Warrior, Confirmed Kill, Warbirds (when it was the
omb), and well into Aces High from the beginning. Then there was CJ,
Avatar, and many other charecters to this place...

Many are still around but you have to go to simhq to chat with them
and that means what you say is heavily moderated.

OK the "who the hell are you anyway" thing was something I borrowed from
Gary Cooper. It seemed so appropriate ;-)

lol, and you used it so appropriately! It's fun to drop in and lurk
once in awhile. Ming/Peter is still floating about (mostly on SimHQ
that I've seen but I don't get out much these days... ) but will pop
in here and post if he sees some of the old crowd. Times change, huh?

I've been around since the EF2000 era when the group was very active.
I was never a big contributor though.
Post by Iron Man

He just wanted snap turns ...

We were spoilt for sims back then and web forums weren't as commonly
used as today. It's a real pity that USENET is in decline as it is so
convenient to read - unfortunately it's also easy for spammers and
other lowlifes to abuse (I used to participate in a robotics newsgroup
until an automated splorge launched from infected machines around the
world swamped it and everyone left - obviously some crazy had a bee in
his bonnet about something).

I now fly online with a virtual squad so I tend to hang out with them.
Still flying Black Shark while waiting for DCS A10. I wish that we had
a modern sim similar to EF2000 - online co-op, accessable, hi-tech
aircraft, dynamic campaign (although I'd like a mission creator/editor
as well). It'd bring new people to the genre and breathe fresh life
into it.

WOW! I'm only here because I d/l'd WOP and it locked up my rig. I
remember you folks. I think I was Onyer6 back then (or maybe an e-mail
address) and didn't post alot here. Followed the Scharmers, NOS,
Meester Martinho, etc. Was around b4 all that as well. I dabbled with
Aces High until they did away with free 8 player. Joined for a month
then quit. I visited a d'l sight and saw Wings Of Prey demo. Been
outta touch too long. Cheers everyone.

p.s. my first flt sim was sublogic's flt sim, then Chuch Yeager, Aces
over the pacific/Europe (where I could never generate enuff virtual
mem to get things to play well. I think it was 640K needed so we shut
everything off that was not essential to run the rig and still were
short). I think my first usenet post was in the early '90's to a
rec.audio &/or rec.boats usenet group. I'll be 117 yrs old next Feb. I
don't remember Ironman tho....
