• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

    The Staff of SOH

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

So, who owns this place, anyway?

Yup, I remember when cable was first starting up. Playing CFS on the Zone, and trying to get an open slot on anyone with the tag "cable host" on their room info. Finally one of the guys in our squadron got cable, and man did our rooms get popular all of a sudden, lol!
 
Yep Zeke I remember you too from back in the day. I have only been a regular forum member since 2002.
 
IL2 ..... Olig was Russian and money was hard to come up with and nobody would help him get this off the ground.
Canelo and myself talked this over and bought a server and put them into it for the first year, I think the website was called IL2 Central. We both got a free CD before it came out.
They got in contact with us through a girl we all knew as Diamond Debbie, she had many names and faces, lol. She was part of the original IL2 crew.
 
This is quite a trip down Memory Lane. I remember so many folks from back when I first got into flight sim and found CFS2 Online and then the Outhouse. Tekworm, Hawkeye and Moparmike were among the first guys to answer my questions and help me out. I remember Jeff "Ranger" Hendricks' very helpful list of websites for downloads and info. Great bunch of people, then and now.
 
WOW I remember all of this,

Yea Ickie, I remember your super mods for CFS, LOL...

And CombatFS, and the begining of SOH..
I seems like a lifetime ago, I do miss the online dogfights, and the fun it all was..

And I remember Teks outhouse also..Netwings and combatfs were big in CFS days and as CFS2 came out..
Then CFS3 which if I remember some were Not impressed with in the begining.

I had a account here at SOH from the begining, but lost the internet for a few years and had to re-register..
Boy.. this has been a walk down menory lane..
Thanks all for this great information..

To the crew..:salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:
