Stallion Requesting To Join
Salute Everyone !
I am a new pilot to the world of DCS but have flown virtually since 1999 online within the world of IL-2 Sturmovik up to and including IL-2 Battle Of Stalingrad. Currently, I own a few modules to include the Huey and so far, I really enjoy flying the Huey overall.
I was happy to find a dedicated Huey unit as I browsed the forums and decided to apply to the 1st Cav.
I live in California, USA.

Re: Stallion Requesting To Join
Welcome. The unit has become stagnate. Members have not been coming on to fly and there has been little to no training. I am not sure we are in a place to accept new members at this time. I am confident that once EDGE comes out participation will increase and this unit will once again be worth peoples time. You are more than welcome to join the group, I just wanted you to understand the current state of the unit so that you would not be disappointed.

Thanks for the reply GunfighterSix ! I can always check back in the near future if that is the case. I will keep tabs on the forums to see if things change for the better. Please advise thanks.

Re: Stallion Requesting To Join
Stallion, your more than welcome to join the 229th. We may be "stagnate" currently but there are a lot of individuals that still come on the site to chat and just mingle with like minded folks. There are still pilots who fly occasionally and we are a brotherhood of Huey enthusiast who appreciate each others company. Don't let anyone keep you from joining, if for no other reason than to be around others who like what you like...your welcome to join and if you weren't scared off by Six, I will send you a Welcome letter to get you set up and ready to fly when missions are scheduled. I look forward to flying with you in the future.

Hi Flyer ! Ok....sounds good then. If there is an empty bunk in the hootch, then I will claim it. Does the squad have a server active on DCS ?? If so, what is the password ? Would love to fly in there.

Re: Stallion Requesting To Join
I will send you a welcome letter that explains it all...welcome to the battalion. Just keep what Six said in mind, we do some heavy flying at times and then it slows down to a trickle but we still communicate and shuck and jive with each other as my old drill sergeant use to say. We all want this to be more than just a flight organization (although that's a large part of it), we also want to create lasting friends that appreciate each others love of helicopter flight simulation and simming in general. You have to be in it for the long haul and deal with the ups and downs. Look for your letter in your PM...I look forward to flying with you...

Hi Stallion and welcome.
I'm guilty to contributing to the 'slow' period the unit is going through atm, and blame ED for constantly pushing the release of EDGE back. Its plain deflating. I share Six's view that with the release of EDGE the unit will come back to life.
There's some great friendships to be had here and the knowledge that some of these guys have is outstanding.
So grab that bunk and we'll see you in the virtual skies.

Re: Stallion Requesting To Join
Welcome sir!
Great bunch of guys, superb flying.
Like has been mentioned, a bit slow right now, but rest assured, it'll pick back up.
Realize one thing though, DCS may be the "main squeeze" girlfriend at the party, but we do indeed fly other sims. I've been online with these crazy buggers in "Cliffs of Dover", "ARMAIII", "Battle of Stalingrad" and a host of others. This is a "Huey" site, but more than that, it's a bunch of blokes that LOVE aviation (hell, some crazy bastards even post up pieces about R/L flying experiences...lol), love flight simulations and really like spending "virtual" time together.
Oh, and when you get a chance....check out just how UGLY we all are in R/L (feel free to throw something in here):

Again, WELCOME!
