    Hello from Canada

    Just joined your group and looking forward to sharing in the nostalgia and WW2 aviation immersion. I will try to get up to speed and get involved with ATAG.
    Thanks for allowing into the group.

    Hi Argo63

    Just great to see another new flyer getting involved .

    Hope to see you online soon and if you need any help just shout . Great community spirit here so someone will sort you out pretty quickly .


    If you're intending to fly online (that's where it's at my friend ) then TeamSpeak for comms is a must really . We all use it and it's free to download / install .


    Have fun

    Thanks to all for the kind and thoughtful salutations. I will certainly need to get up to speed so that I can get involved in some of the air battles with what looks like a great group here. Regards to all!

    I think Canada is over-represented in the flight sim community. Not saying that's a bad thing at all! Welcome fellow countrymen!

    Re: Hello from Canada

    Welcome to the Community and Forums argo63 ...~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!!!
