Veteran pilot, very rusty, just bought CLoD

[Trout]

Lord help me and all those ahead of me on the taxi way.

Ex-pilot for the DD (Danger Dogz) and the 69.GiAP. Friend of mine and myself looking to dust off our flight goggles and bring terror to the skies again. I'm at work and can't devote all the time I want to get aquainted with this website or the game just yet. Will get it through Steam when I get home.

Any initial pointers I can read through between meetings today? lol

Where to join ATAG?

Lots of players on CLOD during North American time zones?

Lots of players in multiplayer in CLoD?

Anything else you want to throw at me? (besides lead)

Thanks all and look forward to my first take off in a long time!

S~

Start here after getting the game through Steam would be best and then get on TS and get up to speed with all the little issue you will come across, lots of helpful folk about that will save you some heartache.

Hi Trout. DD is still around. They frequently visit our server. Yes very active server with a fresh income of new players, like yourself. Also it is expected to get a "boom" when patch 5.0 is realeased, with presente players, old and new ones, of course :D

Join TeamSpeak and all will be more easier. But get ready to feel like a noob again. To learn is part of the fun. So, dust off the googles and join the frey :D

Checkout the 'Beginners Guide'...for info and tips...It will save you a heap of time in getting up to scratch.....and its a really fun learning curve anyway..

Also try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft...

I recommend getting in the online server as soon as you can take off if that's ultimately where you'd like to fly...I flew single player for 30 minutes before I took the plunge...The ATAG online server is a great environment to learn and there's not really any damage you can do in there as a new player.....It is also mission based just with real players trying to foil your objectives...If you are concerned then pick an airstrip furthest from the front line (there always is one or two on every map) and get some alt before you go hunting...You'll get tagged a lot but there are tricks you learn out of pure desperation in those first few weeks that you'll be able to use later...I know cos I still use the same tricks I learned then too because they work...and never underestimate the stall to get you out of a tight fix...That sometimes works too...

TeamSpeak is optional but you'll learn a whole lot faster with it even if you say very little once you are on the server...You are quite welcome to just listen if you feel more comfortable with that....so you don't actually need a mic either...Try it and see!...
