Crete:- Rhodes + 3 new airfields + Seaplane base added (mrz & Cat) Rhodes was an important Axis base during the invasion of Crete. This addition is to the East of the map so existing missions should still work Ok on the map (but its worth running a few quick checks). Players and server do need to be on the same version. Palau Online moved back into the standard map availability.

A very creative idea FT, you are to be congratulated, I suspect you like me are always thinking of more and different ways to enjoy this beloved game of ours. Me, my ideas often come whilst sitting in the smallest room.....

I have downloaded it and will try and include it in this afternoons event

Hi Chaps, Just back from a short trip to Bavaria. Any thing been happening whilst I've been away, I had a nice quiet break.

well done JP, it will be great to have you back on comms adding a bit of gravitas to the preceedings

(Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I was not sure where to post it) Salute, Over at the Dangerdogz (www.dangerdogz.com) we are about to make HSFX our "Official" version. We would like to challenge another squad to a match to celebrate. We were thinking of 2 x 45-60 min dog fights with defined plane sets and ground targets, take the scores at the end of a session, then after a quick "comfort break" swap sides and do it again. We are made up of mainly UK with a healthy smattering of North American, Canadian and Europeans. We fly Tuesdays, Thursdays , Saturday (via Hyperlobby to keep the event started by Blairgowrie for the Ubizoo) and on Sundays (being our main "event" night) We tend to start at 19:30 with open dog fights then move to co-ops. If a fun filled night sounds up your squads strasse, drop me a line or visit us over at our forum. Once again, sorry to 242 Squad if this is in the wrong place. Regards DD_Friar

should'nt that be a micoscope? I checked on jedipedia and telescopes are for making phone calls.....

Salute mate hope you have a good one.

Had a blast last night chaps, pleasure to host. Jim would have loved the TB3 fight, I NEARLY made the perfect mission but ended it the only way the dogz know... Salute.

So Arthur, the die was cast all those years ago....

Update - I have now added the "Armour" items.

Happy Birthday chaps. If a large parcel arrives which looks like it could be moving, please open with care, it will be one of the Sisters on a special birthday treat mission. If she does not arrive blame UPS........... Friar

I have now added the 7 smoke and 4 fire objects

Security tip for those that still need to use a "crooklock" I had one on my MKII Cortina, my Dad told me to drill through the shaft and put a padlock through it once in the locked position, that way they can not be sprung by a hefty foot. I know this to have foiled at least 1 attempt to still the car from out side my house by a known little sh1t who went on to take another car that night and attempted to run the owner over.

Yey! Salute Gentlemen (I use the term loosely). many happy returns

just came across it after following one of the threads and then clicking through to another site, you know how it happens....

Hi Chaps I have taken my utility a bit further and put together a web site that sorts all the objects out in to categories. Enjoy! http://www.hsfx-objects.net76.net Friar

I have added the file to a new location so hopefully this should now work.

I have now completed my project I have been working on to produce an up to date catalogue for all the static objects that can be added to a map. I have placed a zip file in the HSFX 6 section of the vault and would welcome someone to download it and check that my instructions work. http://dangerdogz.co...tic-objectszip/ The zip file contains a folder containing all 1748 objects, an excel spreadsheet where I have put each object into a category and the code to make a web page that will display the chosen category.

3rd time indeed JP, I think the only county to have done that. I think the Olympics are great, watching lots when I can get the remote. Really enjoyed the Opening Ceremony. It seems to be bringing the country together in a jingoistick frenzy........to the tune of Queens we will rock you Clap Clap bang, Clap clap bang ...Team GB Team GB

Welcome Stryker. UP3 is the corrent sudo Official version however we are on the cusp of moving to Hsfx V6.01 as the "Official" dogz version. We are now playing more and more in this new version. You will not have to have Hyperlobby to fly with us. Generally the host will give you a DNS address to enter in the "Multiplay" screen to correct you directly. Regards Friar

My next door neighbour works for a company that is doing the x-ray scanners for the stadiums and they had a couple of runners in the torch relay. He was allowed to bring one home for the night.
