135 euros or hit Q 3 times? I think I will pass on this one....

Nope.

You going to make one FT?

Our DCS Server:

Well, what can one say... I dunno really.

on a Friday, early in the evening... 🙃

"what should I do first Friar?" My debrief: only one thing to mention: at the end, the captured base at Giantizep, I deployed the NASAM cargo, but it did not show up. Menu was changed correctly, as the option to deploy was removed, but the three vehicles did not show up as they did earlier on base in BA52. Good show Colin, good fun. Thanks!!

Briefing update for Sunday Primary target is shipping Planes available are P-38s for anti shipping and Spit Vc for air cover P-38s are limited to 2*500 for first sortie then any bombload they like for further sorties First sortie is ground start , further sorties you can use either of the 2 airstart bases provided Look forward to seeing you there on Sunday at 21:00 uk time

Whoop! And don't worry Colin, I won't need to run through any briefs, I prefer my own, ideally secured around my waist.

Okay chaps, who's up for a 2025 replay of Tom's superb mission? The closest Sunday to the anniversary is 16th February. @DD_Fenrir are you happy to do the full discord brief etc again? I suspect we'd need to open up to the community again for the sake of numbers. You can tell I'm reading about the Mosquito at the moment, I'm chomping at the bit for some low-level wooden wonder action!

Looking forward to this Colin, thanks for all your hard work on this👍

So following a last little test last night of mission saving and restoring, thanks @fruitbat Syria Mission Control, we are confirming go-live at 20:15 on Thursday. It will start with a small scenario and game play brief. The actual mission will then start at 20:30 for this first mission. Following missions will start probably around the same time, maybe 20:00 but obviously it will live action from the start. I will not be running through the brief again if people join later, which there is absolutely no problem with you doing so. If you need to leave before the end, no problem, just bank your scores. I will NOT be doing the brief multiple times as people join. Happy to answer the odd question when applicable, but that should not be a problem as there will have been lots of people attend the brief so we all know what is going on. I will NOT be acting as a General for this campaign so will not be making tactical decisions. I will advise on potential next objectives but that is all. So please do not ask me "what should I do next Friar?" I have built quite a bit of randomisation into the campaign so even I know may not know what is going to happen next. The mission will also be run with "FOG OF WAR" settings. Icons in game but limited information on the F10 map.

"Somebody call General Custer, the Apaches are commin'..." (Myself and two from Fruitbat, Wingflyr and Zukker) A potential load-out of 48 hellfire missiles and 3900 rounds of 30 mike mike!

Some multi crew Kiowa action with Fruit Bat. Before a series of unfortunate events.

My new favourite D.E.A.D platform, took 3 sorties and some actual planning, but completely cleaned out all the caucuses SAM sites up to Sukhumi, SA-2, SA-6, couple of SA-8's, SA-15 and a SA-19 plus all the AAA guns. Got my reward to strafe Sukhumi Babushara aircraft landing and parked up!

Operation Husky Gentlemen We have been reassigned to Malta and the conversion onto spitfires is proceeding apace. We must hurry , High Command are planning to invade Sicily and there are rumours that an enemy convoy is en route to help evacuate their troops, we must get ready to provide cover for our attack planes as they try to intercept the fleet. The next mission will take place on Sunday the 19th.

I don't dee that as a problem. Sundays have always ben where we traditionally hold event nights (for the very reason of getting people from both sides of the pond involved) Any Sunday you want to host your missions you get to host. What about all the other Sundays? Even if it was an every other week swap between the two, that would at least allow the DCS fliers from both sides of the pond to fly together or is that somehow unfair??? And besides, If your using the server, I can always host for the people who don't do Il2 anymore and want to fly DCS that night instead, which doesn't affect your missions with the 352nd.

Always thought the Super Sabre is one of, if not the best looking jet of that era, be a great addition. Put me down for one!

Not looking to dismiss anyone Delta, just trying to make the most of what we have. With the majority of us playing DCS, and it being a mix of EU and NA timezone players, we in the EU rarely see the NA contingent unless they're retirees or their shifts happen to work out. It would be nice to have an event scheduled where the majority of the DCS users can actually have a higher probability of interfacing. I in no way wish to bump your nights with the 352nd, by the way; we have managed to schedule infrequent but regular events before and I see it that when you wish to host a Hurricane campaign evening, then you give fair warning, put up the relevant event in the calendar and that Sunday is yours, no argument.

I feel the Box group are being dismissed. Yes it is a minority but Jim set up this squad to be fair and equal to all members. The last 2 recruits, mossie and petrol only fly BOX so are we going to say that they are not as valuable as those who only fly DCS ? We are not recruiting either in Box or Dcs and the 16 members Fen mentioned are practically the squad now, I cant see how changing nights would improve anything for the squad as a whole but impact BOX more. One other issue regarding Sundays is that we host the missions with the 352nd , where we get 12 to 16 flyers, something that I have put a lot of time and effort into and that I would not be happy if it was removed. I have always supported other members missions and would like to think that the same curtesy would be applied to my own. I realise that I am in a minority and that the more influential members will get the change they desire but I would ask that they respect the Sunday nights we fly with the 352nd, its the only time that the Box flyers use the server to host.

I would still like to see a list of who would fly when, and more people contributing to this thread (the Bears,Petrol,Wingflyer, Mossie, Perf, everyone really). I would also like 1 night for GBS

Our hosting service has completed their work on the servers and our security certificate has been updated. All should be working as expected now. Please continue to report any unexpected difficulties using the site and we will do what we can to get them resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience during this maintenance period. 😎 Wheels
