1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted February 9, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hello chaps! As the post title announces, on Tuesday the 18th February it will be the 70th Anniversary of this remarkable - if controversial - mission. In commemoration I would like to host once again our DangerDogz Co-op that attempts to replicate this signature Operation. Ideally we need 12 Mosquito pilots to fly the raid, and up to 12 further pilots to fly as escorts in the Typhoons. I would be aiming for a 2030 GMT start but would consider pushing back a bit later as I realise it's a week night/afternoon and some may find it difficult to attend. Mission details and full briefing are here: http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/11106-operation-renovate/ This is a good chance for those that missed out on the last occasion and to fill some of the empty seats, or for those that enjoyed it so much previously to relive the ultra-low, high speed action! Please respond in this thread with your wish to attend and what you'd like to fly, If you are comfortable with the low level full switch nav settings that will be in place and feel confident(ish) of leading the first Mosquito group or any of the succeeding flights (slightly easier) then please do volunteer for those positions. The floor is yours gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted February 18, 2014 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hello chaps. We're still on for this tonight for those interested parties. Response has been a little less then expected so we're a little thin on numbers but this can be easily compensated for with some 11th hour Mission Editor shenanigans! Artie, if you could confirm which you would prefer to fly - Mossies need pilots but I can cut down the flight numbers as necessary. Be good to have Typhoon flights led by breathers but not crucial so it depends entirely on what you're in the mood for old bean. Here then is the roster as of 1200hours: Mosquito FB.VI 487 Sqn; Callsign: DYPEG Red Section 1. Fruitbat EG-R 2. Jabo EG-C 3. -- EG-H Yellow Section 1. Sid EG-Q 2. Crash EG-J 3. -- EG-T 464 Sqn; Callsign: CANON Red Section 1. Fenrir EG-F 2. -- SB-T 3. -- SB-U Yellow Section 1. BluBear SB-F 2. Artie SB-A 3. -- SB-V Mosquito B.IV 140 Wing PR Flight 1. FT 140 Wing B.IV -O Typhoon Mk.Ib (Late) 174 Sqn; Callsign: CAJOLE Red Section 1. Sweper Choose skin: "Typhoon-RAFpreoverlord-generic" with markings ON 2. -- As above 3. -- As above 4. -- As above Yellow Section 1. Tolwyn Choose skin: "Typhoon-RAFpreoverlord-generic" with markings ON 2. -- As above 3. -- As above 4. -- As above Green Section 1. Funflak Choose skin: "Typhoon-RAFpreoverlord-generic" with markings ON 2. -- As above 3. -- As above 4. -- As above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted February 18, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Sorry I couldn't make it, spent the morning shovelling snow from the roof, little more than a meter (4 feet) and its due to rain in a couple days. Had to get it off, the weight could collapse and crush my computer. Hope you all had a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 18, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Very good show.... Very cool mission. Thanks Fenrir !! Scores: (Can you send me the mission Fen, so I can do some testing and research on it? Compare it with the logfiles? My Log.lst file is over 500Mb's... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum DD_Fenrir Posted February 18, 2014 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks everyone for attending and giving it a go - for those who suffered bad luck early on, I can only commiserate and say we will run this again sometime this year so there will be another chance to fly it. FT I will upload the mission for your perusal; I can only assume that some - hopefully most - of the issues were due to the mis-matched HSFX versions. Good work Fruity for the nav and the bang on bombing by the Mossie boys - and thanks to the Tiffy chaps for their efforts in keeping the Hun off our backs.

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 18, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 MMAPRPI's: A blue dot marks where a bomb may have hit.. (Mid Mission Action Packed Recon Photoedited Images) (Recording track did not work out, once I pressed 'R' I got a massive pause of multiple seconds, then had to try and gain control/hading/whatnots back... Oh well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to get it off, the weight could collapse and crush my computer. Hope you all had a great time. Too bad Pooka, we did have a great time... apart from the one's who's computers were crushed under the heavy mission load, and / or some weird issues regarding some people were on 7.02 already, others weren't and some even had 7.015-ish versions... In the end... typical Dogz night... Half show up prepared and ready, the mission is fine, though it does not load fine, we need a restart, half of the ones who thought they were prepared now find they are not, the others find they are, and somehow the mission happens, gets done with, lots of things happening that no one ever thought could (Friar navigating succesfully to a Rendez vouz Waypoint!), and vice versa, (Sweper getting swept by the Luftwaffe without killin' half of them first..) I could go on and on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks for hosting Fen, I managed to hit the walls, strafe a train and nor crash into the ground this time.It was hard to see who was who as my icons showed only the distance and I didnt want to accidentally switch my engines off when flying low level as I know what happens On the flight home over the channel the game froze up which was a disappointment, I said goodbye on TS but I had turned off the Target software so although I pushed the button TS didnt know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, more tech problems last night but I swear I will get this sorted out if it kills me in the process. Thanks for the mission and hosting Tom, sorry I couldn't get closer to the target but next time... Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
