All Activity

I used the original map and broke it into 2 sections, enlarged the headings and added elapsed times, one from takeoff and another timer from the French coast. England transit is at 2450rpm and around 6 boost. France times, 2600rpm and 8 boost. NOTE: When I flew it a couple of headings didn't work well. Originals are there with a line through with the corrected (suggested) heading having a question mark. If you can use a map they are here. Wingflyer is trying to convert them for use on the DCS kneeboard but we aren't sure they'll be ready in time.

We did the .lua file and the 4 of us (Wing, Zukker, Sherrif and myself) have been practicing together hoping to fly as a flight. Dress rehearsal tonight for the big show tomorrow. Curious about loadout (external bombs?) fuel load and F10 map settings(own plane visible?)

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser @APHill As promised, the modded The modded Weapons.lua most brilliantly researched and provided by No.19 MJDixon will also be required to partake in the event. To install: Find your original Weapons.lua file in the core DCS folders: Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CoreMods\WWII Units\Weapons Copy this file and save it in a separate part of your computer Now drop the Weapons.lua attached to this post in the Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\CoreMods\WWII Units\Weapons folder. Voila! Note: we recommend that if you like to play on other public Multiplayer servers that you do not make this change until just before the event as it will likely fail integrity checks and prevent you from joining those other servers. When the event is complete you can either run a repair or (much quicker) just replace the original you copied out back into the aforementioned folder and overwrite the mod. Weapons.lua

Provisional Order of Battle for the 1st March 2026 Event: @BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser @APHill

Thanks folks, The Yorkshire tastes fine, 2 bags in a 16oz cup (500ml) is my usual brew (leave the bags in till the cup is empty... of course). It came out a bit weaker than I'm used to but the bag contents seem a bit lighter than my usual brand of Red Rose, however the taste was similar. As above B3 or maybe a C2 is what I see but my oat milk doesn't play as nice as the real stuff, passable taste but it doesn't stay mixed as well as the real stuff.

If you are going to be making proper "builders tea", boil the kettle, pour on the tea bag (do I need to say in a mug?), I use a spoon to waggle it about to get the tea flowing, with the odd press against the side of the mug to assist. 2 minutes and your done. THEN ADD THE MILK (if required). I would say a B3 for me

You've got to admire Jason Williams. He's got a flyable demo up and running before his ex-friends at 1CGS have even released in game video.... ....and all without a corporate backer or dodgy government money.

For even more context; the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour has it's roots in Britain's addiction to tea...

For context Perf, Crash is located North of the Watford Gap, so he's in prime Yorkshire Tea catchment area. 😆

Nowt rong we Yorkshire. A proper brew.

Well, people drink it. But I prefer PG Tips personally, as a softy Southerner.

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser @APHill With no hotfix patch drop today, we're going to assume that there won't be one this week. As such I will provide a modded weapons.lua file on Friday evening, with instructions as to where you will need to install it. PLEASE NOTE: I have a dedicated Discord server for hosting the briefing and any additional skins/resources required for the mission; if you are not already a member please join here: https://discord.gg/CXK79Cff Please ensure you have joined prior to the event.

Demo came out Feb 24. Anyone try it? I tried the Wildcat that didn't impress but felt as it should. The Zero flew just how I would have thought it should. Reminded me of how great the planes flew in Blitz. Incomplete as hell, graphics horrible but it flies right....

A serious question here but I don't want to start a war as I'm going to guess that to invite the opinion of many of you this topic is as dangerous as politics or religion. I got a sample box of Yorkshire Tea dropped at my door (I'm guessing some promotion). It's not something I've ever seen before in stores here so the question is : Is it the legendary brew Youtube suggests or (much like our own Tim Horton's) straight to the compost bin?

I was able to get this problem resolved using Discord support. You need to create a Discord support account since Discord & Discord Support are separate from one another. Not sure why they felt it was necessary to separate them but that is how they chose to do it? Considering the absolute horror stories I read online about their support, or lack thereof, I was resigned to the fact that I had likely lost my Discord account forever. Even so I created a Support account and I gave them a shot at resolving my problem. It took a few emails with them but their response time was quite quick and it only took a couple of days to resolve the problem and I was quite happy with the outcome. The first support tech did have to bump it up to a higher level though. The problem was being caused on their side because for some reason their system kept bouncing anything sent to the email account I used to register. Once Support removed the block from my email address their system had put on it I was able to login to my account normally. After I logged into my account I changed the email address associated to it as a precaution against the same issue happening again with that email address. Wheels

Well fought evening Dogz. ~S~ Your tactics kept us on our heels the entire night and earned yourselves a most glorious victory!!! Now @Squee7e, one of these sessions you are going to be on the receiving end of my guns, and most assuredly quite by accident, in one of our encounters. 😁 Lol, But it sure wasn't during our last session. I went straight in at full speed. 😵 See y'all next session. Wheels

Works for me, hopefully the fix will be out by then!

Only just seen the messages on Discord, shame it's a no-go for tonight but totally understand. I should however still be able to make it for the 1st.

Works for me.

I am so happy the date has changed ... was peeved I wouldnt make it ... all good now ... cheers .

Hi wingflyr, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks DangerDogz Forum

Nice! I will make the date change Sunday March1st because of the advance notice Thanks Fen. Ross will be pleased because of disappointment missing this Sunday, hopeful Perf will attend and possibly Squawk ( Derick) I think he's back by then.

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser Would you all be available next Sunday the 1st of March to have a retry? We are hoping ED might post a hotfix this coming week, and even if they don't, Dixon at no.19 Sqn has developed a work around he is prepared to distribute to any would be participants; it would require replacing a weapons lua in your Core DCS directory but as long as you backup the original and replace it as soon as the event is over, it should not compromise your wider DCS multiplayer accessibilty.
