    Welcome to the forums Speedbird! If you haven't already I would recommend getting Teamspeak to communicate with other fliers on the server, it greatly helps with coordinating attacks and information that might take hours of forum trawling to find can be told in 30 seconds.

    No doubt Lewis will be along shortly with his extensive welcome post with a bunch of useful links that will help you get up and running.

    See you in the skies

    Welcome to the Community and Forums Speedbird48 ...~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...

    Most Watched CLOD Videos

    Easy Allied CEM for New Players

    Joystick and Hardware Thread

    ATAG Forum Age Poll Results

    Nvidea Control Panel Settings

    Downloads

    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...

    Contact Spotting Test

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

    TeamFusion Facebook Updates

    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~

    A Tribute to Those Who Served

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

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

    ...Lew...

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

    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~

    Couldn't have put it any better myself . TeamSpeak is an absolute must ( it's free by the way )

    Great to see you've joined the party .....

    Hi Speedbird and Gravity....welcome to the ATAG Servers and Forum.

    Yes, the learning curve with CLoD is very high but that's why it appeals...that and the historical aspect and the fantastic community behind the sim. Get stuck in and fill your boots! The rewards are very high and in a month you will be a professional. As the chaps have already mentioned Team Speak is really a must.

    If you would like to 'wing up' for a question and answer session or a 'will you show me the Spitfire 1A 100, Hurricane, Blennie, Ju 88 or 109 and how to get them off the ground session'....drop me a post either here or on the Forum and we can arrange a time that works for us. Good luck! Salute!
