Tried to reply to a thread and forum wouldn't let me sign in within thread. Signed in outside of thread successfully but wasn't recognized as signed in within thread. Kept telling me I had the wrong authorization.

After I posted this things went back to normal. I'm guessing posting this forced something to behave properly.

It is my extreme displeasure to announce to everyone that I am a guilty man.

On or about Sunday morning, July 26, 2020, I mistook a Beaufighter flown by the esteemed pilot BlacKnight, for a hostile 110.  We were engaged with three of them, low over the water at St. Mary's Bay off of Littlestone.  The 110s were surely no match for BlacKnight's crack aim.  But with a single swift snapshot I disabled BlacKnight's left engine.  Too low to make it home, BlacKnight and his Beau sank into the water with dreadful finality.  In that shameful split second I lost us the fight, cost the allied forces an expensive machine, and cost BlacKnight his life.

My shame shall never fade.  People say to me in an effort to console that we all do it, that these things happen in battle.  Any consolation is short lived and undeserved.  People may jokingly mock me, rightfully so, but the laughs are forced and tinged with spite.  For I am a guilty man and forever hang my head.

S! BlacKnight. May the reset button be a better wingman than I.

Hurri into the Thames, not understanding why I had no control
until I saw this video:

Hi all, greetings from Australia, although I am originally from the UK before I left to live in the Middle East, followed by Africa and now Australia...(those InterPol folks certainly know how to keep tabs on you)... ;-)
Recently hung up my boots after 30 years of working, always loved flight sims (although they often lay dormant on a CD) including B17 Mighty Eighth (1st edition many moons ago), but never online until now with IL_2...Got into Cliffs of Dover via Steam, did the Campaign (easy mode with unlimited guns etc.) and then jumped online... To say I am a complete novice at online with true to life realism (+ Discord etc) is an understatement so please be gentle..lol.  My sum knowledge to date on IL-2 Cliffs of Dover has come from YouTube videos, hopefully TWC can offer me some training / handy tips in return for allegiance and watching your six... :-)

Hey Folks,

I got invited in while the site was down, so I thought I should at least introduce myself.

My name is Roberto, I'm 42 and still gaming every day. I've always had a passing interest in flight sims, buying some Jane's on the amiga as a 10 year old. Ofcourse I thought it would be like X-wing so when I saw the manual I gave it a try, but ultimately failed. 
Over the course of my life I've tried more sims, but not until I tried in VR did I get the drive to actually want to learn how to fly, as opposed to playing a game.

I've learned to fly the FW190 Dora in DCS and would love to continue that, but sadly the WW2 content is lacking and VR visibility is pretty bad. 

So here I am in IL-2, love the vibe, hate that I can't press buttons and crank levers.
I have weeks of experience under my belt and about 2 hours of PVP (or 2 minutes of actual encounters).

So it boils down to you now have an old dog trying to learn new tricks, but we'll have a laugh nonetheless!
