Very clever Sir, some dam fine skills there.

Salute Mainz You have picked an interesting plane to start with, but at least a lot of the engine management is automated. At the DangerDogz we do fly with complex engine management enabled you you will need to have mapped all the controls such as radiators, cowl flaps, rpm and mixture etc. Our published flying schedule is based on UK times but we do have a great North American contingent that fly in their times as well so perhaps one of them will be along to provide some more details. The main times for IL2 are Tuesdays and Sundays from 19:30 UK time. We use TeamSpeak as our communication tool. We have many excellent pilots and many who can not hit a barn door from 50 paces (including me!) that I am sure will be willing to help you improve. We do not have mandatory training sessions or ranks, we are also laid back about attending, we understand real life gets in the way. The format of our sessions is that we start with a dogfight map which is an excellent opportunity to practice or get some tuition and then after about an hour we will go to co ops. These tend to be a mixed bag of planes so you will get experience on a wide range of rides. Do you have any interest in Tank Crew as we play that on a Saturday evening (UK time)

Its a LONG way off from being ready but this looks interesting, even if it kicks the Tank Crew team to release some information about their plans.. https://www.steelgearsimulator.com/ https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/52774-tank-crew-got-competition/

Salute Please find below a link to a document I have uploaded to our vault. It is an official manual from 1943 relating to armoured combat and includes an explanation of the Sherman gunsight.

Hmm...me to I have an old Ipad knocking around that could be pressed into use, only problem might be required version of IOS.

Hey Beagle - glad you have "gone public" Welcome "officially" to the pound.

Release Notes EMG-TC v8 -Added Lapino map, template created by DD_Friar - Many thanks! -Fixed the option to use custom skins for player platoons. Check spelling though, not all characters are allowed. -Added 'Skill' option for the player platoons -Added option to create the mission in a specific folder -Added logging. Warnings and exceptions will be written to mission_generator.log

Looks like a challenge has been laid down there chaps. I will get map building and see if we can not replicate a similar tunnel (with open hangers). I will make them non-destructible (or indestructible - take your pick ) Coming to a Dogfight server near you soon!

Disappointed that Tank Crew never gets any mentions in these updates.

Hi Reggie, Yes I had been reading that thread with interest and seeing how it develops. There are some included that I would probably not want to include so waiting to see how he breaks it down. Cheers Friar

Not unless you were piloting a P51 at Reno a few years back...

@Bob stay clear of people getting hit by planes...touchy subject...

Salute For those of you that were playing on Saturday evening you are aware of the issue that once the objective was achieved the mission rotated. I have been investigating this and can confirm that it is not a feature built into the mission. It is controlled by a server setting for mission end time out. Syn_Vander is using the Mission Objective trigger to show the objective on the map. When this is achieved a signal is sent to the server and the timer kicks in. We could get round this by setting this time to a silly long time, however I think the same time is used if we wanted to roll a mission due to re-start etc, so has to be thought about what we do in such a circumstance. Cheers Friar.

Default commands for the gunsight range are Right Alt + . (period or full stop) and Right Alt + ; (semi-colon) for increase and decrease (may be other way round) If it is very windy you can also adjust the horizontal by Right Alt + , (comma) and Right Alt + / You place the point of the triangle on the target.

The German tanks do, check this out...

I have just been watching the pre qualifying for GT3 races tomorrow at Brands Hatch (I am going ) and happened to turn closed caption on in YouTube and witnessed this gem... "I love if you have to watch the race a transsexual what you get"

@Sid The reason I am asking is I am finding that with the Syn_Vander tank missions the location of the enemy is not always obvious. When we played last week a couple of the guys had not put the icon set on and were playing with icons on both on the map and in game and we needed them to give us a heads up where the enemy were located. For these missions I think it would help but what I do not want is when you get eye ball on the enemy to still have the icons in game giving range etc. A blob on the map would be good but not through a gunsight. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Salute Anyone know if it is possible to make an icon set that has blocks on the map (to help locate units of both sides) but not in game? Asking for a friend...

Excellent news Jabo - now don't just stand there - get one up!

Oh do keep up 007. I know you are probably tired from all the Le Mans (good finish wasn't it? - that man with the flag needs to change, it may be tradition but he nearly got taken out!) Roger has had to disable some of the add-ins to help resolve some issues he is working on with support. There was a post for it.

A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do...

Hey Swep, hope all is all ok with you. We have missed you on a Saturday for Tanks.
