If you fly RAF or Luftwaffe in full switch, or would like to fly full switch then give us a shout. We're a laid back group where immersion and enjoyment is primary. We are of various nations in the European and North American timezones and communicate in English (to various standards) and German.


http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no64.pnghttp://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no501.pnghttp://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no615.pnghttp://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no610.pnghttp://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no111.pnghttp://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/includes/images/logos/no32.png
We run "Kenley Wing" operating Hurricanes from No.615 "County of Surrey" Squadron and No.111 (Fighter) Squadron supported by the daring Spitfires of No.64 Squadron. To complete the RAF we operate "Biggin Hill Wing" with No.501 "County of Gloucester" Squadron and No.32 Squadron on Hurricanes with Spitfires from No.610 "County of Chester" Squadron.

You don't have to be an ace, we are welcoming to all standards even if you've never flown before and can't yet start your engine. Training will be provided to get you flying and enjoying our activities via 6 OTU before posting to a squadron (largely based on your preferred type).

Our Luftwaffe operates as II./Gruppe and III./Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 26 "Schlageter", the Abbeville boys and the 'natural enemy' of Kenley and Biggin Hill Wings using the Bf109 fighter. We also have a committed Zerstorer staffel in 6./ZG26 performing intruder raids in the Bf-110 heavy fighter. Our staffeln cater for German and English speakers though 6./ZG26 is purely English language.

We are frequently engaged in CoD fielding many pilots on both Allied and Axis. We gather regularly and fly together at altitude on the public servers available and regularly fly our own historical immersion based campaigns in our private server. When ACG form for these missions we are packed in the server from our factions plus large raids of AI bombers. These are not empty squadrons/staffeln, we operate according to historical numbers. At time of writing there are over 120 active pilots in ACG and growing.

All of these squadrons make up Air Combat Group and our goal is to have both factions fighting historically but remaining good friends, there IS a place for you. If you would like to know what we expect from members please read here:
http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1086

We operate a Teamspeak 3 server at 85.236.100.27:16317, please come in at anytime. Our new website is at http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk with all the information about us, our forums and a flight school if you want to know more. Please post freely (registration not required for guests).

Finally, if you just fancy flying with us then please come in, we are a public group for general activities.

Hope that's not too much reading, if you are interested just jump into our comms or make a post on our forums or shout at any of our members online

ACG crews are gearing up for a new campaign this weekend. We are particularly interested in Hawker Hurricane pilots or people who wish to fly this type, we have vacancies within the group and are keen to hear from you whatever your standard

Wenn Sie einen deutschen Sprecher sind, dann können wir 6./JG26 bieten unter der Bf109 da diese Mannschaft ist in der deutschen Sprache, neue Piloten immer willkommen.

ACG threw over 30 pilots onto the ATAG server last night (Sunday), we had a single new guy with us, trying us out, and he gave us this feedback which I would like to share. He refers to the RAF side, we had II Gruppe of JG26 doing the same thing from Marquise, there were 16 pilots in that flight.

As one of the new guys I thought I'd take a moment to tell of my experience Sunday October 13th on the ATAG server.
With a FULL server the stage was set for great moments. Sort of:)

As a new guy it can be a bit intimidating to throw yourself on Teamspeak, and I felt as new and green as was to be expected.
Starting up engines on Eastchurch along the others, the first thing I do is to run my poor old spit into a ditch, before even reaching the taxi way. What a wonderful start:P

oh well, better get a new plane then.

All around, Hurris and Spits were rolling along the taxiways. My hands were shaking on the controller as the regulars threw humourus insults to eachother while rolling into place, ready for take off. It felt like a time machine. With the canopy open the roar of the merlins and the radio chatter it felt like being part of something awesome.

After Kenley Wing had taken up start up positions, Osprey told us to get a move on before we would all get strafed. Once we all (How many? 12-14?) - [EDIT, not full strength but 15 RAF today, mostly No.64 and No.501 Squadrons, a couple from No.615] started rolling together down the runway, I had more adrenalin than most other games can ever hope to provide.

It was a magnificent sight. Forming up we headed for Kent, picking up a straggler joining the party from Manston. As this magnifenct war party approached Dover, there came a call on the radio; "Bombers, three o'clock! Tally Ho!". Jesus I thought. I am reliving the Battle of Britain.. We took up positions, I readied myself for my baptism of fire and then....

The power went down. On my whole block....

I guess I don't have to tell you about the ensuing rage that occurred. Use your imagination.

My point is, all that I experienced was the kick off, I missed the entire party (I got about 30 mins later- chasing Huns over the French point, followed a 109 that fell into a spin and ripped my wing clean off before bailing) byt nevertheless- it was a rush like no other!

To any newcomer or lurker out there; forget about War Thunder, Il2 Bos or DCS 44. If you want 40's prop action, THIS IS the place to go! And with the TF patch 4.0 lurking, it can only get better:)

Thanks to all the guys in Kenley Wing for tips and advice!

Great post Osprey.

That's the experience that this game, and few others, can provide!

Great read Osprey.

I love reading these types of stories from newer players. Sounds like he was sweating bullets and loving every bit of it. :thumbsup:

Osprey
Oct-15-2013, 03:20
I admit I had no idea, we just lined up as usual, we've all done it so many times before but it's always fun - the banter between the squadrons prior to take off is hilarious :devilish:. I guess that anybody who hasn't before and it used to taking off alone has no experience of that massive roar from a full squadron though so it's nice to hear feedback in that perspective. We have to set up our aeroplanes correctly too (according to the manual of course!) because otherwise we'll move at different speeds and prang.

I'd like to now know if the experience is the same from our Luftwaffe though, I may have to join them :stunned:

Oct-15-2013, 04:25
It is entirely different on our side of the Channel , before take off we all congregate at one end of the runway around a large bonfire , before us will be a large table with our Staffelführer standing behind it.
We then all don our black and red cloaks and skull masks and start to rotate around the table holding burning torches . Our Staffelführer then climbs onto the table and is handed a ceremonial dagger and a fresh Blutwurst, he proceeds to cut up the sacrificial sausage whilst we all chant oaths to the "Gods of war and Sausage makers worldwide"
We then all line up and step forward to receive a slice of the anointed Wurst, armed with this electrifying and powerful shield of Blood we then make our way to our machines safe in the knowledge that we have been blessed by the "Almighty Wurst of War" . Before take off we listen to this song over the areodrome tannoy system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=req-oDf2ZRc safe in the knowledge that once again
we are on the hunt and "We will give them the Axe"
On return its Schnapps and shnitzels all round and iron crosses and what not off fat Herman
So as you can see its slightly different over here on the dark side but remember Kameraden
"GOT MIT UNS" :devilish:

Ehhh... I wish to feel again such emotions... It was so long ago when I flew my first "front war" mission.

But.

I dissagree only with one point....

"Forget about IL-2: BoS"

In WWII 1 kill on west was worth 3 on east. In virtual skies its completly reversed...

p.s.
Osprey, did you checked BoS forum ? I think few LG would be ready to participate in campaign but I cant use ACG forum.

Osprey
Nov-03-2013, 06:47
You need to go to SOW forums Blakky http://www.stormofwar.net/, we're not running a multisquadron competitive 'war' campaign. Ours will be an internal historical immersion campaign and we haven't started it just yet, still preparing.

Clammy
Nov-04-2013, 02:30
Thanks for the welcome!

First big gathering last night.... Scramble mission on the ACG server. We all sat around talking about cricket and zimmerframes (don't ask...) as we waited for our radar guys to report enemy sorties coming in.

After ten minutes or so the news came: Luton reporting bomber formation assembling over france, heading for the manston/ dover area.

Quickly we all jumped in our planes and got the engines running. I carefully manouvred into position and took off as i dutyfully muttered "Clammy, rolling" over the comms. As we all took off one by one, a massive flight slowly assembled over Manston as we flew a lefthand circuit, ever growing in number. Awesome sight to behold.

Being the new guy i somehow managed to keep formation, sweaty white knuckles on the stick included, as we climbed to altitude and heading out to sea to meet the bombers.

After another ten minutes we spotted the hun, dead ahead and at the same altitude; the radar boys had done their work admirably!

As the boys from 64th positioned to engage the escorts we, from 615 and 501 squadrons unleashed our .303's head on into the Heinkels as we passed. Scored hits!

I looped up and over and attempted to re-engage the formation from behind. The gunners on the Heinkels were very busy but did not score any hits on me as i singled out the left most bomber and opened up on his engines. White puffs emerged from it's airframe as the bullets struck.......

Shooting aimed bursts at the engines and fuselage i emptied my belts and announced "Winchester!" to my squadmates. Then broke off and headed back to Manston in time for tea and medals. Landed perfectly and with a satisfied feeling i let the death grip on my stick loosen up.

Glad you enjoyed it Clammy, plenty more of that to come. I managed to squirt a Hun in the face, they don't like that one bit and no doubt will complain to the fat man in the white suit about it, plexiglass would've shattered letting in a 200mph freezing wind to hit their wounded bodies. 'chutes on for that - plenty of bratwurst spare at their homebase whilst they serve 5 years of digging potatoes on Brit farms for His Majesty. I reversed and came at then again but was had by a squarehead who had sneaked up from below. With half of the port wing missing I felt it was time to get out. Unplug the R/T cable and oxygen, pull back the canopy and undo the straps - out I went. I kept the old umbrella handle of course or the quartermaster would charge me sixpence for a new one.

Clammy
Nov-04-2013, 12:49
You could have let me know Osprey! Would be pretty funny to have you bail out and into my cockpit as i slide in underneath your dying plane... Make our own heartbreaker hurricane! Just don't get any idea's :)

I definately want to repeat that flight! Really had great fun and a little adrenaline rush is the best drug outthere

hello! Flyby here, and I'm interested in 4./JG26 (for American time zones). I'm home during the day (GMT-5) for I'm also interested in 5./JG26. A bit of info about how to get involved. I fly the ATAG server, mainly as a lone hunter/meat-on-the-table pilot, and have lots of experience with the RSOD (red screen of DEATH!). Flying like Frank Luke is for the birds at my state of effectiveness. Lots of ropes to learn. Been away from sims for 7 years, and really missed it. Loving CoD and the TF 4.0 patch. So if you need fresh meat, maybe I qualify?
as ever,
Flyby out

Nov-11-2013, 11:46
Hi Flyby,

Yeah you certainly qualify, I'm pretty sure you already registered at our forums and asked before? http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1001

Anyway, as you can see from the thread you simply need to get into Teamspeak with us and we'll take it from there. Most members are in Europe so this may be a little more tricky during the week but at the weekend I can certainly talk to you then. In the meantime please drop by and hopefully join some of the 4./JG26 chaps, but in actual fact since you say you are about in the US afternoons you're likely more suitable for 5./JG26 like you say. We can work that out, very easily dealt with. Please feel free to add me as a Steam friends, I am No.501_Osprey, this is easier to see when we are both online together.

Hope to see you soon

It gives me pleasure to announce that ACG are embarking on a Fall of France and Battle Of Britain campaign in Cliffs of Dover with TF4.0 starting this Sunday (24th Nov 1900 GMT). This is an historically base immersion campaign featuring human fighter pilots from our 6 internal squadrons/staffel supporting/destroying AI bombers - this is unlike other campaigns you may have seen in that we do not fly against AI fighters and that the aim is enjoyment and immersion over competition.

We are welcoming people who are without squadrons who would like to experience what we do and perhaps becoming involved in ACG for the future. Please post here/PM me/join our TS/post on our forums etc if you wish to know more.

But of course we are recruiting for all of our squadrons - read above, that includes Americas pilots and German speakers.

On Sunday 27th, at 1900 UK time, Air Combat Group resume our campaign. This is Mission 13, the 2nd series of 6 missions in Kanalkampf and the early attacks on the British mainland

This is an invitation to squadronless pilots who are interested in something new, something immersive and historical who wish to try us out.

Please see the details in my sig and the first post of this thread for more information about us, otherwise you just need:

1. At least one functioning eye and ability to hear and speak

To join the ACG! Where are all my brother yankees?
We need to get in here so we can force Osprey to add No. 71sqn RAF to the roster!

I sincerely hope that was a joke on your part. :D

The campaign continues, mission 14 last Sunday (see the Sim Theatre for some videos of the mission from some of the pilots). We had a few guests join to try us out in the past few missions and....as expected...were impressed enough to want to join us :thumbsup:

Welcome to Oho, Esri, Zalzam and Boyezee to the Axis powers, with Deeside, Kev and Midge joining the RAF.

These missions are historical and average 25-30 pilots on each side, all ACG chaps ready for the off. Of course this isn't all we do, we are active throughout the week and frequent both ATAG and our own historically based mission server "ACG Public"

Don't be shy, drop by

In navigation for example, using the knee-map zoomed in one can find forests, railroads, roads, lakes, villages etc. to mark your location. After a while general directions become very familiar so you can choose a direction or give out a direction based on sun location and your general location on the map. It becomes far more difficult though for the bomber pilots who must determine the exact location of targets based upon the map coordinates eg., G17 Tac 4 by the river with the 17 gun AA barrage waiting for you. :)

One thing to consider is to set your compass and gyro before taking off.

I may need to do some more investigation, when I look at the lobby option I get "no lobbies found" or somesuch, and refresh does nothing.

Oct-17-2014, 03:07
Yeah sometimes the lobby is like that unfortunately. It sometimes misses servers and lists duplicates, sometimes you just have to try again.

@Marmus, thanks mate. Btw a few of those missions are recycled into public missions for our server with tweaks for objectives and scoring, so you can come in and have a go yourself. Yesterday we put up another mission, the August 12th attack on Lympne and Hawkinge, that's a 40+ raid - as you can imagine the initial merge is mayhem!

We're getting a regular group appearing on ACG these past few weeks. SOW has relaunched too, so there's another mission based server, I understand the old 'London Raids' is running on that one. It is healthy for the community to have multiple servers populated - this way we are more likely to keep people flying, and it perpetuates, it's good for all.

Quote my post from the ACG forums:

I had a total blast flying with 501 yesterday as Green three, I hope I stayed with the right flight leader the whole time :D but I think ACG just isn't for me. I would love to join you guys, but I just don't have the time to fly long missions with extended organisation beforehand, etc. I might join you guys next weekend if I can figure something out, and MAYBE (that's a huge maybe) I might be able to join an ACG RAF Squadron.

Hello, I'm a new pilot who had never play Cliffs of Dover before because my PC just not power enough to smoothly run this beast. I played 2 years offline IL2-1946, most of the time just train my self about take off, land and shoot. Last week I finally bought a new setup of PC which has a nvidia GTX970 card, it should be very nice to play this game, but the Windows 8.1 OS is terrible, I got frame rate drop down to 1 or 2 for every 3 seconds when I play on ATAG server. After ~30 stories I got only 3 air kills, I tried to change settings, tune graphic options, even upgraded my internet plan, no help at all. So I downgraded my OS to Windows 7 yesterday, now it eventually running smooth like silk. So yesterday and today I had two stories with the first time no stutter, confirmed 12 air kills during last two stories (got killed twice early today though), so now I'm happy with the PC performance ATM.

I fly BF-109 exclusively, especially E4 variant, I really wish to join a squad and know some new friends. I live in New York and can speak some English (English is not my natural language though). Really appreciate if some squad could let me in. Thank you.

BTW: My in game name is LOSA, stands for Low SA. I killed one G50 today because I couldn't tell the difference between a G50 and a Hurricane from its six :(

Be flexible about which variant you may have to fly. Today we flew the E4, our schwarm did, but sometimes we fly the E1 which some of us actually prefer. Good luck. Hope to see you soon. BTW, I run Cliffs of Dover on Win8.1 with no issues, and great frame rates using a 2gb GTX 770. ATAG has a thread for optimizing game play. Check it out.

Dear members of ACG,

Some of you might know me, most of you probably don't. My name is Chuck and I have recently been permanently banned from the ACG forums. There has been a lot of speculation, a lot of ouï-dire on the circumstances in which all of this happened. Since I can no longer post on the ACG boards to defend myself or respond to accusations, I felt the need to send you this open letter from the ATAG boards in order to give my version of the story and to squash some of the rumours that are starting to spread.

There are the facts. MysticPuma posted a thread on the ACG public forums pointing to the latest Team Fusion update available here http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...ad.php?t=17073 . Part of this update mentions my name and the guides I have been working on the the last few months. ACG founder Osprey decided to edit MP's post to include the text of the update since there was only a link provided. However, he left out the part where MP mentioned me by name and my guides and wrote in its place "I deliberately left out the part about Chuck's guide since he breaks Wheaton's Law". For those who are not Big Bang Theory TV show fans, Wheaton's law is "Don't be a d*ck." It doesn't take a genius to picture what Osprey meant by that.

I saw this post and promptly replied that "You're right, only a d*ck would write 650 pages for the whole community to enjoy." since I thought the accusation was baseless, unfair and completely unjustified. Next thing I know, my account and IP address is blocked. Permanently.
http://i.imgur.com/q0S3vdJ.jpg

I have never met Osprey, nor even talked to him, and for me this ban seemed completely out of the blue. I have tried to ask around ACG members to know why I was perma-banned, and not a single one of them could give me a reason why. And then, I receive an e-mail from an ACG member sharing Osprey's rationale behind this. He said: "I do not believe that he [Chuck] has good intentions, he has caused us problems and I don't want him here. Do you think he'll play nice? I don't. Better he's not given the chance. This is not the TF forum, there is nothing for him here." I believe I deserve that chance, just like any other non-ACG member on these boards is entitled to. Further allegations have been made against me, specifically branding me as a trouble-maker, an "Anti-ACG" and an "ACG hater".

Apparently, someone believes that there is a "war" going on between ATAG and ACG and I would have picked ATAG's side, therefore wishing the destruction of all things good and beautiful laying in ACG's wonderful kingdom. This "someone" couldn't be further from the truth.

I am not a ACG hater. I am by no means anti-ACG. I have flown in DCS with ACG members in the past and I think all communities in the flight sim world have their place. I do not harbor ill will against ACG or not even against Osprey himself. How can I hate someone I have never even MET before? I am not on anybody's side: flying is the only thing I care about, no matter what tag they wear into battle, what flag they fly under or which server they play on. For those who do not believe me, well there is probably nothing I can do for you to convince you otherwise.

I fly with people from the four corners of the flight sim community: I flew 1946, Battle of Stalingrad, Cliffs of Dover, DCS, FSX, X-Plane, War Thunder... you name it, I fly it. I create guides and tutorials for everyone to enjoy, not just ATAG. This is why the links are public and these resources are available in all major flight sim forums. I did not pour hundred of hours into these to let only a select few benefit from them.

Whether or not I stay banned forever from ACG is up to Osprey. He doesn't like me? Fine. You can't please everyone. But I do not wish to be forbidden to discuss with the friends I have among the ranks of ACG because one man took personal issue with me for reasons that (to me) appear to be a product of imagination rather than cold, hard facts. I broke no rules of the code of conduct, I was not given any reason as to why I was banned, and I was publicly humiliated in front of a whole community and have been targeted by hate speech and defamation that nobody should ever deserve. I could have started a smear campaign with all the e-mails, conversation screenshots, and information I have received if I wanted to. But I didn't. I have no interest in superficial "forum wars" and I have energy to spend on more productive things than childish and pointless personal attacks.

Therefore, I send to you ACG members this letter to tell you that I hold no grudge against you and I have no "bad intentions" towards your group, whatever you may have heard about me. I do not know why Osprey took it upon himself to perma-ban me without being told why, but I simply hope that this "Chuck hates ACG and must be exiled" circus of nonsense can come to an end. I do not wish to be punished for a crime I didn't commit, and I think depriving me of the means to communicate with the ACG members whose company I enjoy is a sentence I do not deserve. I cannot read your boards nor post there, and the whole experience has left me hurt and very frustrated because I simply don't understand where this sh*tstorm came from and why I am now in the middle of it.

The ACG's objective is to "provide an unpressurised, non-competitive and friendly environment in which to enjoy combat operations, whichever side a pilot prefers, and all standards are welcome regardless of experience."

I suggest you folks live up to these standards you set yourself.

Regards,

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

If you would like to setup a Teamspeak meeting with myself and some other parties within ACG I would be glad to do so. I would love it if we could figure out a compromise that leaves all parties at least partially satisfied (thats what she said). I think we can all agree that we should be building bridges within this community instead of burning them so lets try and lay a foundation that everyone finds palatable. Please feel free to PM me with some times that work for you.

Thanks,

A little story from our last campaign mission...

Peete of 5./JG26 was damaged over England whilst on a fighter sweep and had to crash land his aircraft, not one to take capture lying down he came up with a novel way of returning home, here is Peete telling the story



To day I flew a mission with the 5th JG26 in 3th swarm. We flew to England to do a sweep over Biggin Hill..
When we goth there we angaged a few spits and after the 3th attack as a wingman I goth hit by friendly fire. My governor gave up so my proppitch was gone to 12 o clock and my engine blew up very soon. I glided whole the way to the english coast.
I asked for a boat but when I run to the coast i found a deserted airfield. There was a Hurricane and i stole it right under the Tommys there noses.. haha.. I took of.. what a easy plane to fly is this ,, nicht normaal... ach soo... I found the radio and after a bit turning on the knobs I managed to contakt my Leader Villiers ans Capt Boyesee. I jelled I goth a Hurricane...
You What Peete Capt Boyesee said. He laught it away.. Villiers was more a believer and I called out I am at Englishpoint now.
Then Mid channel .. They took it for granted ,, but I began to swet (no joke) What will happen when i am in france .. there are my german tricker happy friends and I am in a BLoody Hurricane..

I called Boyesee Villiers I am at france point now,, Ok peete was the answer.. I asked my captain if he wanted the Hurricane intact or should I bail out. He wanted intact,, Suddenly i heared .. Flak at Balonge,, Flak at Bolange .. Yes, i jelled.. its me dont Shoot..
You really in a Hurrican Peete ,,, Yes i am ,, Boyesee plaese man,, I try to make it home.. to Hydroquent!!!

Ok, then Capt Boyesee did what he do best, he gave orders to not shoot the Hurricane !! Its Peete he jelled .. Grazy guy just stole a Hurricane ... don`t shoot..

Well the pilots did not shoot on me, but the Flak did ,,, wooww... all bullets with flak flew over my nose and wings ..
I coming in ,,Peete lands the Hurricane,, hold fire, I jelled to the radio...

i was a bit dark and I just pulled up over a few 109s and then landed the hawker.. But were are the Brakes on this thing... My feet pusht the rudders hard but nothing happends !!! My Goth ,, I quickly opened the canopy and jumped out.. The damn thing crasht in to a camouflaged hanger.. Well I am back at my friends at least ,, sorry for the heavenly damaged hurricane.. investigation team has now almost nothing to investigate on it...

Hope the next Mission is going better in my own plane,, because this was not a easy one for me.

Greet 5th JG26 Peete

And here is footage from my POV when I realised what he had done :) , also Falcon of the 6th Staffel got some good footage of it as well

I asked for a boat but when I run to the coast i found a deserted airfield. There was a Hurricane and i stole it right under the Tommys there noses.. haha.. I took of.. what a easy plane to fly is this ,, nicht normaal... ach soo... I found the radio and after a bit turning on the knobs I managed to contakt my Leader Villiers ans Capt Boyesee. I jelled I goth a Hurricane...
You What Peete Capt Boyesee said. He laught it away.. Villiers was more a believer and I called out I am at Englishpoint now.
Then Mid channel .. They took it for granted ,, but I began to swet (no joke) What will happen when i am in france .. there are my german tricker happy friends and I am in a BLoody Hurricane..

I called Boyesee Villiers I am at france point now,, Ok peete was the answer.. I asked my captain if he wanted the Hurricane intact or should I bail out. He wanted intact,, Suddenly i heared .. Flak at Balonge,, Flak at Bolange .. Yes, i jelled.. its me dont Shoot..
You really in a Hurrican Peete ,,, Yes i am ,, Boyesee plaese man,, I try to make it home.. to Hydroquent!!!

Ok, then Capt Boyesee did what he do best, he gave orders to not shoot the Hurricane !! Its Peete he jelled .. Grazy guy just stole a Hurricane ... don`t shoot..

Well the pilots did not shoot on me, but the Flak did ,,, wooww... all bullets with flak flew over my nose and wings ..
I coming in ,,Peete lands the Hurricane,, hold fire, I jelled to the radio...

i was a bit dark and I just pulled up over a few 109s and then landed the hawker.. But were are the Brakes on this thing... My feet pusht the rudders hard but nothing happends !!! My Goth ,, I quickly opened the canopy and jumped out.. The damn thing crasht in to a camouflaged hanger.. Well I am back at my friends at least ,, sorry for the heavenly damaged hurricane.. investigation team has now almost nothing to investigate on it...

Hope the next Mission is going better in my own plane,, because this was not a easy one for me.

Greet 5th JG26 Peete

After months of being deliberately ignored by the ACG's "inner council" since my last plea for an explanation/trial, it appears that the apparent desire to negociate (or at least try to find a solution to clear my name) was nothing more than a facade to preserve appearances.

Well-played, guys. Well-played.

Never argue with an idiot. They will always bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Chuck, if most ACG members and ATAG members are like me, they don't want to see continued friction between the groups, nor with individuals over or about a game (call it a simulation, if you wish). I don't know the particulars which cause your latest "well-played" post. But just by the post being here suggests something went wrong somewhere. I would have liked to ask the parties what each wants from the other, or out of a discussion over some dividing issue. It's been my experience in life this is the question that makes people pause to think about a truthful answer. I suspect the question never came up.

DRock, your posted reply quoting Carlin may be appropriate, but I can't discern to whom it is directed, if at anyone at all. Perhaps that is best. Let people wonder who it's meant for, and no one could ever know for sure, and therefore not take it as a personal insult. I don't know you, so I can't assume an answer. Perfect!:thumbsup:

I am an ACG member, and a forum member here on ATAG, so I'd like nothing better than peaceful relations and interactions. As a fan of Cliffs, the idea of cross-group fly-ins has held an ongoing appeal. Frictions of one sort or another seem always to jeopardize that from happening. Too bad. Just too bad. Yet, maybe one day the air will clear.

One final observation. Like-minded people, on issues of conflict, will typically congregate to one side or another. A side will find sympathy within itself, typically throwing the "offending" side under the bus. Doing so can strengthen the bonds of the one side (all sides do it), but only sympathy is gained; not progress in resolving issues. It seems to me to be taking satisfaction in coming up short of the goal (?). I hope neither side accepts coming up short.

Flyby, you are a valued member of this forum and we at ATAG are proud that you fly on our server and regularly make positive contributions to this forum. We try not to make blanket assessments on any particular group, and you are proof of that policy's wisdom.

ATAG would like nothing more than peaceful and mutually-contributing relationships with other sim-related groups. Unfortunately, there are those in other groups, including 5./JG26, that do not share this desire and have needlessly caused us a great deal of trouble. We have had to spend considerable resources in identifying, rooting out, and dealing with these disruptive elements that otherwise could have been better spent on more constructive projects such as mission-scripting and/or Netstats enhancements. I note you have not read this thread to illustrate:

Unfortunately this thread has veered OT from its original intent of recruitment to recriminations and countering. This does not serve the best interests of the Cliffs of Dover community so this thread is closed.

Salute to all,

Snapper
