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. I'm from BC. This is a great forum, lots of very helpful nice people.
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!
Canada here too..... trying to get back to IL 2 after being away from it for years. Tryin' to get on with Blitz,but.... Its gotten a little confusing these days with CoD Blitz/CoD/1946/StalinLeningrad/Moscow etc. Not sure which way is the best to go,but having fun anyways.
Hi Argo63, and welcome to the community.
Hope you are getting on ok with Blitz.
Any questions, then ask away, as you have done already in chat, we are always only too pleased to help out our new players.
Don't forget to check out the beginners guide. There is a lot of information there to help you get up and running.
Even those of us who have been at this for a while refer to the beginners guide from time to time.
Have fun buddy, and I hope you can join us in the multiplayer skies soon

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