Guys - please make sure that you credit properly for skins , misions etc. I dont think most skinners will mind us hosting their skins as long as they get credited. I will supply you with list of a/c types today Rog. Great work guys - you should be proud of your hard work - the quality shows through

All- the votes have been cast so Im going to propose that we adopt DD_handle as the suffix. It is in keeping with most other squads and especially our HH_ brothers so I think it is the most appropriate and the one with the most votes. As I said in the last post I dont want to force this on anyone but if we can adopt this when flying on other servers or on UBIZOO etc then I feel it will add to our new squadrons identity. Thanks to all who voted

thanks for the report beebop - Im considering upgrading to a 19" tft and viewsonic get good reports.

I have an x850pro - you can see my other specs in the hardware rig thread- and get around 38 FPS on blackdeath on perfect.

Roger suddenly had a strange desire to go into cheese production after the war had finished here is a track of the normandy canadian beach mission- BIG download It doesnt play right away for me. I have to start it then esc and enable user controlled views and then play track and go to external F2 to get it to work. you can then go F1 to see inside pit and then have a choice. 1) esc then turn off user controls and return to track to see how I flew . 2)keep playing the track and Go external F2 then cycle thro blue by shift+F2 or red by ctrl+F2 to find yourself http://www.k9squadrons.com/files/tracks ... k0051.ntrk hope you enjoy these Dave

very good- like the theme with the book - well done

have sent 4 skins - you should have them by now mate

following my last post I think the fairest way to decide is a poll so here are the options- I dont think colon is allowed so Iv limited it to these - most seemed to prefer ddogz but might be too lengthy for some servers ?!?

Here is mine by a guy called compans- he doesnt do many but I think they are brilliant- the weathering and worn look feels right Paul ritchie was a pilot in No 1 Squadron and faught in the Battle of France- he wrote one of the definitive accounts of fighter combat- Fighter Pilot hope you like this

The skin is from The Last Days Add on. I have a few so I can upload them once we get a section sorted. I was lagging behind in the shot as I was ment to be in your squad Roger but wasnt very sure of where you were heading so got caught in the middle :wink:

Good Idea to post in joint ops so all Dogz and Hounds can find out when to fly. It is a real pity when one of the mates wants to fly or find out whats happening and cant get info. Dont want to discriminate against any members and we all should try to accomidate the time zones. I am extremly grateful to the guys who host and join in at times that suit the UK players We also need to get details of who can or is willing to host from all members so that we dont overburden or rely on those who are doing a sterling job just now. We could do with a HOST FAQ e.g. How do you host a game ? do you run dedicated server software or just through multiplayer in game ? how do you host teamspeak ? so that those willing to help would have a simple guide to help them. I am flying a lot just now but I dont think that I will continue at this level for much longer due to family and work comitments. SO taking all into consideration I really cant commit to anything further than the 2100 - 2400hrs GMT sessions I currently do on Thursday and Sunday nights. Although with my shift schedule I will look out for other oppertunities to fly with the mates.

Really enjoyed last night- here are 2 shots 1) SHOCK HORRER delta flies red http://www.k9squadrons.com/files/screens/desertspit.jpg 2) Squadron take off to gang bang Arsenel who was the only one daft enough or brave enough to try flying a fiat http://www.k9squadrons.com/files/screen ... akeoff.jpg

I just wish I could fly like I talk mate- :oops: I know what I SHOULD be doing but usually forget it all in the heat of the fight. :oops: Sorry I slipped into "LECTURE MODE " in last post - I get carried away sometimes- well the wife says I should be carried away I must add tho that two other things that make a difference are - how comfortable you feel in the aircraft- some planes just suit you and others dont- if you like the plane and have a lot of practice in it then you will be confident to push it to the edge. the other is stick settings - I have REALLY struggled to get comfortable with my stick input since 4.0xxx patches. I thought it was me or the stick had gone off- there seemed to be a lag in input- with the latest patch I think things have settled down - I have been able to take off all filters and have been able to increase my sensitivity and now feel I am closer to how I was flying before. hope this helps

Dave, How accurate do you find that thing? I have it, and I have tried some of the speeds listed and I never seem to get the same results, and I do trim out the aircrat. Some of the Japanese planes seem to go faster that he lists, and some other planes seem to go slower. I am not that good to get close to quoted figures so I only use it as rough comparison e.g. my plane can climb faster so I can use this to escape or my plane can turn quickly so its ok to try this as I usually find out when engaging- its the pilot that really counts and you shouldnt really get involved in hard turning fights as it blows your energy and leaves you vulnerable to the bandits mates. This utility will only give us a good idea of how best to use your plane against common enemies- but shouldnt make you forget the basics of SAS=SPEED -ALTITUDE-SURPRISE I read on the UBI ZOO of guys who keep it minimised so that when they go into dogfights or co-ops servers with rotating plane sets they can quickly reference this to help.

We were flying last night and the topic of turn circles came up - in particular how good the Bf 109 G2 turns - here is a good utility to use to study all aircraft in the game http://www.airwarfare.com/Sims/FB/fb_es ... es.htm#014 hope you all find this useful

Ill try to be there around 2100 hrs

Congratulations to Psycho- 33 secs his award Ill think up another mission soon

All - I fly on dogfight servers such as warclouds and A lot of squads include their squad name in their icons such as =335=name. CIA_name JG27name I use only delta7 so was wondering if we should all agree on a squad prefix for use on hyperlobby and other servers ? This would give us an identity outside the group . I think "dangerdogz_delta7" is a bit long - this tag above the aircraft will take up a lot of the screen so I would like to suggest we adopt either ddogz_name or dogz_name or dd_name I like ddogz_name I wouldnt want to make it a compulsory thing for squad members- but I think its a nice touch. Any thoughts ?

EDIT- oops thought ROg was referring to my post not doubletaps anyway nice edit doubletap mate

Dog Pack closing in .............. Me and Waldo from last night - make sure you view full size to get best effect http://www.k9squadrons.com/files/screens/DDmeform2.jpg From last sunday - isnt me in Me109 - think it was Waldo again http://www.k9squadrons.com/files/screens/DDMekill.jpg

here is a wee medal for the danger dogz BG is in line to get the first one for completeing the run rabbit mission unless someone beats his time- any of the new guys who wants a copy of the mission please e- mail me

There is a new patch out for IL2FB + ACES + PF 4.04m check out links on ubi forums http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums/a/ ... 4321049904

here is a link to another pic I was going to work on for the site- http://kalaniosullivan.com/KunsanAB/Oth ... nsanGN.jpg It shows a guy leaning against a notice board that I was going to photoshop a bit and thought it would be a good background to put information links onto the board -however I think Arsenal would do a much better job - so if Rog and Arsenal could work some majic on this I think it would be a nice tie in. If you guys are too busy and want me to give it a go then let me know and I will see what I can come up with

excellent work- well done both a fantastic contribution :!: :!: :!: :!:
