Microsoft has moved us all over to the new zone, while there are some nice features, it's still buggy as hell. Personally I prefer the old one. I guess in the end all we'll have is a flash looking front page and little else. Wonder how much time and money has gone into the new one? Hope they fix it soon.

As you may have seen on our message board, Pappy is no longer a member of SW. There are new files in the download section, if you wish to fly a bomber game, you will need to download both the B24j and the B25. Both planes can be downloaded and extracted directly to your CFS/Aircraft folder. I have been told that we change over to the new beta zone within the next few days, we will see. Nav_Solo has been making an a#@ehole of himself on the zone as usual, flooding the chat with either Romeo and Juliet or typing in the date and time every minute. I guess small things amuse small minds, just put him on ignore.
Southern Warbirds welcomes new member, SW_Tipo.

The new website look is nearly complete. Lately I have been flying bomber runs with the B24j Liberator, this is available from the downloads page, I have set it to use P47 default sound and panel so that the download does not take all day. The original sound and panel are available on their respective download pages should you wish to use them. You've got to try a bomber run, it is a lot of fun.

Ooops! News editor has been slack. I see WA_Nautica and WA_fliboy are no longer WA's. You may have noticed this website has had major changes. Things were starting to get complicated with links going in 3-4 pages, now things are a lot tidier. Some of the members now have photo's on, you can see the faces behind the bullets on the flight crew page. Please bear with me, the changes are nearly done.

I was at AT's message board yesterday and replied to a message that MOB_flybaby had left, I checked again today and see that both messages as well as another reply have been deleted. A message from April says they changed servers and some messages were deleted. Hmmmmmm  I've been trying not take sides over Barbies zone police stance, but am finding that harder to do. AT had booted Flyer out  of their squad and I see that after Dreamsharer and Kaze had a few words in the main chat that he is now WA_Fliboy. I've gotta say it "Things just keep on getting more and more weird"

This site now has a photo album, so anyone who has taken a pic while shooting us down, feel free to send it to me and I'll put it up. Check out the pic of SC_Sideshowbill parking his plane. LOL.  I see MOB_flybaby is having a feild day after proclaiming MOB squad to be the zone police. I find it hard to believe that you combat hassling with hassling in the main chat. Oh well, that's her call. Gets pretty tedious though when people throw abuse at one another for hours at a time.

Sorry there hasn't been a lot of news lately, the zone is pretty quiet. The beta zone is online again, you can find the link down the page.

Southern Warbirds squadron now has 6 members, all ex SC. Southern Cross squadron is still going strong with 11 members.
Not a lot of zone news of late. Viper_571 got muted by a sysop yesterday for flooding the chat, calling AlanVonSwoop a cheat. Problem was a couple of hours later he was at it again, this time using the name Alan_sux. Just a cry baby.

Anybody noticed the change? I am now proud to be a part of a new squad, Southern Warbirds.  Thanks to all those who offered me positions in their squads and for the support in starting a new one.

Well announcement time. After some 7 months with Southern Cross Squadron, I have resigned. This website will remain open and the news will continue to be updated. So keep coming back, who knows what will happen.

Web address for the new zone is  http://beta.zone.com go and have a look, go and have a fly around.

I got to have a look at the "new" zone last night. I'm very inpressed , there are a lot more options viewing rooms, there is even a sysop button now, no more going through your list looking for a sysop lol. Only problem is, it's still in beta, so in came a sysop and booted me out. She says it will be operational soon.

The zone has been a little bit quiet. Southern Cross Squadron is now down to 17 members with the resignation of SC_Chainsaw. We are all sorry to see him leave, as our association with him goes back nearly 7 months to when we were RNZAF Squadron.
Apologies for the message board being down yet again, turns out I have to be above a certain percentage to keep it active. Grrrrrr! So will find yet another the that will work.

I have decided to change the news format. The page was getting a bit too big. Just click on the news archives to view older news.
