Thumbs on the design! An original and very pleasing to the eye.

M8s, I can start hosting as early as 3PM EST on Thursday, if there is enough people interested. I could go until 8pm EST, and then perhaps someone else will take over in interested. If we get at least two players (other than myself) I have no problem hosting that early. Let me know...

Or suddenly takes to flying a TB3 in Hyperlobby...

Welcome to the Danger Dogz. Me and BG are discussin thursday night. There will be coops hosted, but we are working on times. What time, EST, are you available?

Because the Mosquito has always been a favorite of mine, its easy to comply... I am working on a series of 5-6 missions based on the early history of Mozzie's deployment. Its actually pretty interesting stuff, as apparently the early teething problems and unusual design made command unsure what to do with it. Over time, however, the plane began to find its own and became a hot commodity. I am sure many of yoy guys are aware of it, but its news to me. Missions will entail the variety of roles it was put in, including Recon, Night fighter, strike fighter and Nazi party crasher (these are going to be my favorite I think). One mission I could use help with. Apparently at some point the RAF began to use Mozzie's to try and collapse railway tunnels by lobbing bombsinto them. The program apparently met with mixed results, but I thought it would be a unique mission type. Does anyone know of a map where there are train tunnels? I do not think there are, but am not positive. I also looked to see if it was a placeable FMB and it is not. I may be able to jury-rig something, but thought I would ask first.

By this logic, doesn't MS owe me money whenever I throw out an older PC because I am no longer using their software? Shouldn't I get some sort of deposit back? Look, I understand companies have to protect their intellectual property, even MS. Fair enough. I understand the problem when someone buys 1 copy of XP and then proceeds to installinstall it on 5, 10, 20 PC's. That is unfair. But if I am replacing a motherboard, its still essentially the same PC unit. To put it even more accurately, I am still only utilizing one license which I bought when I bought the OS. Just because I am upgrading the hardware that the OS runs on does not make it a new, or second license. This is like having to pay the sales tax again on a old car when you replace the engine. I think MS gets beat up a little too often just for being a big company, but then they do something like this and you realize why the flak pours in.

Being someone who likes to muck around with the mission builder, I'd like some ideas about what kind of missions people would like to see. If you have some specific ideas, let me know, and I will work on it. Put those ideas here, and I, or maybe someone else, can put it together. I think its obvious that everyone has their own preferences, and because of that, mission types vary greatly. Some people only like historically correct scenarios; some don't care as long as it involves shooting people down. Some like missions which are very realistic, which might entail hours of flight time; other prefers ones where action is fast coming. There is no correct answer as to what is the best type of mission, but put down what you would like to see done and we'll see if we can do it...

One thing we could add would be tracks of missions we run together. That way those who don't make it one night can see what happened, and visitors can get an idea of what we do.

Just wanted to say thanks and job well done to Roger and whoever else lent a hand in getting the forum up. It looks great and seems very easy to use. Kudos!
