Unlikely to attend this one gents. Have a good mission

The mission didn't 'take' chaps. Last night was nothing but a yuletide dream.

I'll be there

Cool vid Rox, I must remember to record TS as well to splice it in. Although, there's rarely any singing in the 402nd! Tracks + Fraps + Premiere. That is my method. Tracks do seem to be quite stable in GBS, more so than the old ntrks of '46 that seemed to deteriorate after time elapsed; although there is I believe a file size limit for a single track in GBS. I don't have any experience of DCS tracks so can't comment. I try to remember to hit record whenever there is action, then replay at a later date for screen and audio capture in Fraps. Here you can of course hide the UI / icons etc and 'Direct' your movie how you see fit. The FPS style free-roam camera is fantastic for getting some unusual angles.

I may be missing something, but can these not be added on to the next AAR? Or do EA actually have to be destroyed in a mission in order to make a claim against it?

Created in Photoshop using the two official PSDs (rgb and alpha) and exported using the appropriate DDS plugin that GBS uses. Sidly took care of the 485th skins though, so you may want to tap him up old chap.

Usually, FT is kind enough to add to the skault for those using chkskins. I think that's how it works. I believe, with the exception of my new one and T-bones, I uploaded everybody's 402 skins to the skins area and also in this thread. With regards to T-bone, not sure he actually officially released his skin, I have it because I created it to begin with but passed over the working files for him to finish.

Another crazy Irish-American reporting for duty in the 402nd, introducing: Patrick Last Updated skin for download attached here chaps. 402nd__E6_B_BluBear.dds

Some aircraft attendee news, could make for the rare sight of T-bolt old and new! Can't remember the last time I saw an A-10.

I'll be there, so I will

Some further gun-cam footage of the last mission flown to whet your appetites for tomorrow gentlemen. Illustrating perfectly just how terrible my gunnery can be against such a huge lumbering easy target!

Doesn't Santa know there's a war on?! 😆

Nailed by quadruple A? That must have been awful, triple A is bad enough. 🙈

Reporting for duty, will be on just before 9

Could be worth a look: https://www.microprose.com/games/the-mighty-eighth# Although, a multi-crew DCS B-17 would be preferable...

To whet everyone's appetite once again for tomorrow's instalment, here's another little movie of a close call a couple of missions ago.

Keep: Everything as it is Remove: Fenrir's ammunition

Thanks Col, that was a great deal of fun! The ground/air coordination added a challenging element and I think the capture the flag objective worked just right. You evidently put a lot of effort into this and it paid off, kudos to you sir. I look forward to the next one. I just wish I'd recorded the moment I flew under the bridge in a 110 as a Sherman crossed overhead. 😄

Looks like I missed an action packed mission. Did it 'take'? If so, RIP 1Lt Fesser and 2Lt Zook 😔

I'll be giving this one a miss gents, it's the young man's birthday weekend and we're working our way through the last four James Bond films in the absence of being able to do much else in lockdown! Best of luck to you all, give'm hell.

Great Scott, that is beautiful

Blimey. I do feel for the TFS guys, it obviously took dedication and a great deal of hard work, but in the end it took so long to release that most have moved on. I wonder how many fly campaign/single player? I may still try it, sometime...
