UPDATE: So as, it stands I have (through some devious deduction and defilement of the campaign generators file structure!) got a campaign generated flying P-38s with the 402nd Fighter Squadron (of the 370th Fighter Group) flying out of Florennes in October of 1944! Wh00t! Cold starts are enabled! Furthermore - if I have made the edits correctly, we should move to the base of Ophoven in February of 1945 and thence switch to Mustangs come March. (Disclaimer, I have not tested this as yet, figuring out how to, so it might go Pete tong but we will have to wait and see...) All those parties who signed up (shown in the first post of this list) as wishing to partake are currently assigned slots on the first mission, but if any further applicants wish to join they may - it does not take long to do the admin. I propose a test run on an upcoming GBS night. I will host just to see if the form is viable. This will allow those not wanting to join the campaign to do Dogz Server co-ops as normal (ish - might have to use the premade 'good' co-op repository in rotation as I assume Ft will be flying the campaign tests?) Missions may be quite long as Florennes is one of the more Westerly airfields so expect transit times to the Area of Operations to be in the 15-20 min range, similar on patrol/over target and then back again. Overall mission time could be in the range of 45min to 1hr for each mission.

Happy to lead a flight if required Skipper. Also happy to snuggle up nice and close in formation if required Skipper 😳

Just added my name - I could do 1 hour missions on a Sunday (providing we start at a reasonable time). Sounds like it will take our flying up a level.

I felt sort of left out, then realized this all started before I came back to the Dogz. I've added my name to the list and await any instructions. Thanks Fen, now to practice with the split tailed devil.

At it, or by it! Mustang is much easier to fly, take off and land, but the Spitfire is much more capable air to air as things currently are.

The I-16 is certainly the most unique of them all, with its game-changing experience of turning the landing gear crank 44 times while flying a trimless torque galore aircraft with a screwed up center of gravity. More often than not it's a ground breaking experience.

Mustang does fly 'better' as in easier. More pleasant to fly? Not sure, it handles easier on t/o and landing, but airborne it borders to becoming boring! Compared to the spit that is Greater range? How far do you want to fly? Or, long do you want to be in cockpit? A properly tuned Spitfire with a drop tank will last... well like over 90 minutes... I think? Fly from South English coast to Normandy, do some flying over there, get back home, no sweat. The 109 I am not familiar with ... (Tip: For real extra special fun in flying, get the I-16!)

Good work Fen, will we me mostly mud moving or patrol/intercept?
