Re: BoB day

[JensenPark]

first of all, well done to Klinger and Friar for putting this together.

At one time we had 41 on TS...I think an all time record.

[Fireman]

The pea-shooters of the Spits/Hurries did better than I expected - and combined with the flak sure did alot of us in.

12 pea-shooters in total on the Hurri IIb

[Highlander]

I second that JP. Thanks to Klinger and Friar for all thier hard work, and congratz to the Reds

[Sid]

+1

Summed up perfectly Highlander - thanks very much gents

[Pooka]

High Fives or what ever you Brits do to each other...

[Rico]

It was absolutely brilliant.

[Strider]

One could not add to the above accolades, congratulations and thanks so eloquently said above except to say I had a great time and when do we do Part Deux? Most worthwhile endeavour!!!

Much Respect and Cheers!

[GreyKnight]

Nice one Friar & Klinger! Those missions were fantastic and thanks for all your hard work. How did it feel being in the hot seat last night Kling?

And well done to the Allies for securing the British Fish n' Chip industry for future generations, your efforts will not be forgotten!

[mctav]

Well that was my first event with you guys and I must admit it was the most fun I've had online for a very long time.

[Friar]

I would like to say well done to eveyone that took part last night (was there anyone in the dogz that was NOt there last night!)

I hope that eveyone that wanted to fly did so and that the "pool" system worked for both sides. If there is anyone who did not think it worked, please drop me PM so that I can think about what to do for the next one

[Klinger]

Thanks guys, that was pretty intense to watch. I saw some great fighting while I was trying to keep track of targets.

How close was it? In mission 2 Blue needed just one radar station to win the map, beaten by seconds.

Mission 3s para-drop didn't quite happen, but 2 Ju52s were intercepted halfway across the channel, just a few minutes from target, and victory.

Forgotten Hero award must go to the C47 pilot from mission 1 (I believe it was Shayd, correct me if I'm wrong), who made it all the way to Hawkinge,

but had no cargo to drop when he got there. ~S~

A close second would be the 110 pilots who loaded AB (airburst bomblets) to take out shipping.

I was unable to keep track of pilot deaths from the word go, and I want to thank the teams for organizing the rotation of their guys. I think everyone

got a few flights in.

Also thanks to Friar (original idea and support), Greyknight (skinpack), Painless (testing), DT (backup server), and BG (hosting) . Salute chaps.

Well fought DDz.

[Oldtimer]

the "pool" system worked for both sides.

I was in the pool/DF server for most of mission 1 and some of mission 2 - it seemed to work pretty well except that with the general mayhem on TS, I missed the first call up! (TOAD was very kind and reminded me with a burst of 20mm through the cockpit.....).

Don't know how that could be improved.

[gec]

there should be a log on the server about everything that happened.

[mctav]

If 'pool' pilots stick to the reserve DF server with their own TS channel, retiring pilot then has to contact them to call up a reserve fighter.

[Klinger]

I agree that the pool system was not ideal. But its the best we could come up with at short notice.

[Squawk]

Indeed.

[DoubleTap]

Indeed.

[GreyKnight]

I was fine with FPS, but I did hear JP complaining of low frame rates.

[JensenPark]

it may have been my machine...or just the base...once I restarted and spawned at a different spot it was better.

[Fireman]

Indeed.

[Blairgowrie]

Nope Andrew. Oleg has yet to do a 4.09 DF server change. He promised it but I don't see it happening until the 4.09m beta goes gold.

[Stingray]

Don't the skies~of~fire and skies~of~valor servers allow more than 32 players and they are running version 4.08?

[Rico]

I didn't notice any serious FPS problems, and I managed to careen through a couple fur-balls that would have been fairly likely to cause problems if anything did.
