[....hey Ya'll, just wanted to get back on here and {re} introduce myself. Have seen some of Ya'll on Facebook and there are many new faces I am not familiar with. I am know here as TX-Cuda..."Galveston FPScheats" on FB, and just plain old Rocky to those that know me. Have been around here since dirt...haven't flown any sims since forever, and really need to blow the dust off the joystick here on the desk and get back into it. Used to work for GTE/Verizon and retired after 33yrs. Just couldn't take it any more when the operations were being run from New Jersey and not Texas when Verizon took over GTE. The money was right so now live the life of fishing whenever I want to...wherever I want to...and chasing tail. My son Eric that some of you met back years ago when we hit the CAF Airshow at Ellington in Houston is now 20yrs old! Sadly, he is a "console kiddie"....but may come around one of these days. Heck, that was when it was still called "The Confederate Airforce"!!.....at any rate, glad to hook back up with the group, and am looking forward to doing some flying again. The box here ought to handle any of the new sims I hope. i7 975 Extreme with twin Nvidea GTX 680's. Built it a few years ago, but is holding up well with the new vid cards added recently.Glad to be back!TX-Cuda Black 8]

[I am currently on a couple of very popular websites that are all gaming oriented and on one of them they are getting pretty burned out with the COD4/5 game genre. I have mentioned to some of my fellow members via TS that IL2 has to be the best combat flight sim bar none that is set tin the WW2 Era. So here is what I need to gather asap....I need some of the the current websites that discuss the game...skins...etc...so that I can show these other players what IL2 has to offer. Sadly, most of the links I had are now dead as it has been so long since I have been active. I would especially like to have someone shoot me a link to a sight that hosts videos of gameplay showing these guys/gals what they have to look forward to.Thanks in advance!]
