Hi, everyone!

Newbie here. I'm glad to have found this great online ATAG community. I'm hoping to learn more from the other members here. Cheers!

Hi Neil...... thanks for 'coming on board' and introducing yourself. We're all delighted you found us! The more people who discover and enjoy CLoD the better for all of us!

You are quite right, this is a fantastic community and it thrives on helping other members out, so if you have any questions or problems post here and somebody will sort you out! I would urge you to download Team Speak (if you haven't already) because it will enable you to speak to us all whilst flying and its the best way to shorten the learning curve involved in flying this sim. Not only that but you'll get to meet some of the fantastic characters we have in our community which only increases the fun tenfold.

I'm sure our good friend Lewis will be along with your own version of his owrld famous 'Welcome Post' which will contain all the gen you need to get airborn. Enjoy setting up and do say 'hello' when you get on Team Speak. Salute!

Hi Neil, and welcome to Cliffs of Dover and our community here at ATAG.

Hope that you are getting on ok with the sim. Any problems let us know and we will be only too happy to help you get up and running.

As the others have said, getting yourself on Teamspeak, although not essential, will greatly increase your enjoyment of Cliffs, enable you to talk directly to your team mates / wingman and also it's the best way to obtain any help that you might need directly one to one.

Have fun buddy, and I hope to see you in the virtual skies soon

Hi NeilEvans...

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!...

Welcome to the Community and Forums NeilEvans...~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...
