Hello guys...been a long time.
So what's new in the world of EECH.
I've gone underwater, Starshoy's of to WWII and the Eastern Front, Platinum as well or maybe to F-18 land. Seems like only UFG, Davey Volker and PC are about...
Lots of new faces though.

So what is happening..Is DeStro still making new WUTs...any news from anyone...?

oh sure, show up after being gone for months and you're all 'hi howdys'. Sub THIS, Xabba

Actually, last I heard DeStro is indeed working on the WUT, which will, hopefully at least, also have a part that deals with ApHavoc. I am kind of psyched about that. God, if we could work out just a couple of the kinks in that bad boy, well I'd be pretty happy. But I won't get my hopes up too high.

So how's life being married underwater?

Hi Xabba,

how's your latest HTML project going?

It really is a bit quiet here - no sign of Starshoy, Lionpride, Enforcer, Reload and so on. Especially Reload has totally gone missing.

im working on a grenada map, but it will be a few months. I have yet to figure out TEG completely.

I miss spawnbob so... no one ever told me where he went.

he's around. He has made recent posts on the current events forum, if you want to track him down.

Hi Xabba

I've been a little diverted by a car game (they have people on their forums almost as helpful as you guys. They don't seem to be able to let their hair downa nd get O/T, or funny, or miserable though...it's all just modded cars/tracks/etc) and I have LB2 waiting for me.

I miss the banter and camaraderie we used to get going here, about 9-12 months ago, but never mind. I guess progress was always going to scatter us around the sim globe eventually.

I think it's a great shame that Comanche 4 wasn't engaging enough for us (well, me anyways) to start 'hovering around the same hive' again.

I miss the cameradarie of last year too, but I wouldn't have been a part of it if my wrist hadn't been plastered up, and then there might never have been an 'EECH Custom Shop' But for the moment I haven't quite finished laying the ghosts of the Kola Peninsula to rest. I actually re-installed and played EECH only last week. There may be hope for me yet!

On a positive note, I think what has been achieved with WUT, new campaigns, skirmishes and terrain editing recently have done more to broaden the appeal of this sim than any skin modifications ever could.

I expect the next revolution in sims will be LOMAC, so I'll see you all in my 'hog' when that possible gem sees daylight You never know, I might even have updated my website by then

Comanche see, Comanche do. You don't see him, but he kills you.

Yea that was cool,
Infact I like the friendlyness here and how you can say something and not get blasted for it.
Were talking about Whiskey and preferences and some guy mentioned Johny Walker and Chivas, I said ohh horrible, he got all offended and started slagging me off,
Oh well....
So Plat what have you been up to.
I'm going back to the UK in August with the wife, Daughter is due in May..

Commanche 4 was an insult, eh?

I still find ship-killing easy in EECH despite 151d.

Does anyone have an easy way to stay with a specific group through a campaign?

Dunno about 'easy', but you can either keep checking the "available gunships" as you watch the AI do stuff, or you can select them in the OOB (Order of battle) and wait for them to be available, either way you have to know the flight group's name. You can write it down if you have trouble memorizing it. Only problem is, when you loose a wingman after sticking with a group for so long, you get upset and loose the will to continue... I wonder if this is a realistic feeling? hehe.

I think Mr Volker Buschmann is in the UK in August - maybe we could arrange a meeting, with 6 months notice?!
