    Ello

    Heya,

    New to CloD and ATAG. Just wanted to say Hi.

    I've been combat flight simming for a while. As a kid I fell in love with the genre with the likes of Red Baron, F/A-18, F-15 Strike Eagle, Gunship and Thunderhawk on the Amiga.

    Years later, I currently play War Thunder, IL-2: Battle of X, and now just recently CloD.

    I've tried to dip my toes into CloD before but was put off by the hot mess that is the UI/UX/user experience. With the 4.5 Blitz release I decided to give it another go. After a week of persevering, tweaking controls and consuming any videos or written guides I have to say I'm incredibly incredibly impressed. The level of sim fidelity is fantastic. I LOVE IT.

    But the thing I was most impressed by was the community. Lurking on TeamSpeak I found almost everyone to be helpful, encouraging and welcoming.

    This is fast becoming my favourite sim experience and I'll be sticking around for the long term.

    I also fly in a custom pit based around centrally mounted Warthog with extensions, Saitek Pro flight stuff and triple monitors. Any triple monitor tips/tweaks/recommend graphics prefs would be appreciated.

    I play red or blue, whichever side has the least online.

    See you in the skies.

    Welcome Mewt.

    Thanks for a great first post. A lot of us kicked off on sims in the mids 80's. There is a thread I started a year or so ago about what were peoples first sim. In the General Pilots section from memory.

    Looks like you have your sim pit sorted, which is great.

    Make sure you sing out if you need a hand.

    Cheers,

    Pattle

    Hey, Mewt.......great to have you here and another big welcome to the ATAG Forum and Servers. Your first post was 'music to our ears.' We are delighted that you love our flight sim! It is incredible isn't it? I can hardly believe how good it is and I've now been flying just about two years. But we are also thrilled to hear how impressed you are with our Community here. We work hard at encouraging others to enjoy the fun that we have together. The more people flying the better fun for everybody.....and it's all in the name of cooperation and history.......a love of history that brought us together in the first place. And it gives Team Fusion a bit of payback after all their painstaking work modding the sim.

    It's good to hear you've got your pit and Team Speak sorted. Now you're just ready for the next sortie so jump right in and say 'hello' when your ready and you'll gain a 'wing man' and new friends in no time! Good luck and 'see you up there!'

    Hi Mewt...

    You did the right thing jumping on TS..You'll get help sooner and learn more quickly on there than single player and even the forums...A lot of us will kindly give you a 1 to 1 on TS and get you in the air...

    By the way...If you are use to flight sims (especially WT) then you whould pick CLOD/BLITZ up pretty fast...We get a number of new wings coming from WT and they become a menace in the server real quick...

    Also that cockpit sounds pretty good...Post a pic if you have time...I for one love to see the setup you guys fly with...especially seeing as I fly on the kitchen monitor..

    so...

    Before I make my world famous welcome post to you (below)...I'd just like to ask that if you like CLOD and BLITZ then its a good idea to leave a positive review (in any language) in the STEAM forum...That way we will get to see more of what the TFS have to offer in the future...It helps keep THE DREAM ALIVE!...

    ...Lew...

    Welcome to the Community and Forums Mewt...~S~

    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 too...

    Beginners Guide

    Windows Management Guide

    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!


    Here are a few fun, helpful and interesting links amongst these forums you might want to bag for future reference...

    Contact spotting is massively important in any flight sim...Seeing that enemy before he sees you is a race you don't want to be second in...Check this link to see if you can tweak your rig any better...

    Don't forget to keep up with the latest on the TeamFusion new aircraft and patch news...You could well be AMAZED!

    A must read for all CLOD enthusiasts is the recent news that has the whole community buzzing very heavily...

    And finally...Please take the time to have a read of some of the stories of military family adventures by a few of the members of this forum...and maybe share yours with us...~S~

    Any questions then you've come to the right place....

    Good to have you with us buddy...and remember its all about the Fun!!!

    ===================================

    Any UK members please let us know where abouts in the UK you are...Just for reference...Its always good to know just incase there happen to be folks who can help you or you can help locally...buy a joystick from or even just a chat in a pub with someone who is likeminded...

    Thanks...~S~
