Hey chaps, I have just loaded up the mission as if we were going to run week 2. I am pleased to report that the mission loaded, took a while but it loaded all ok. Alpha FOB is still showing blue as it Abu Talhur, the JTAC is showing as being located there as well (I moved him to the FOB right at the end of the mission). and... The planes that were ferried from Incirlik to Hatay are showing as in stock. I also kicked off the enemy AI and planes started spawning in So... Based on this quick test, I am prepared to say that I think we are now in business to run the Campaign as I had hoped, at last! Many thanks once again for all your trust and patience to get this working.4 points

Ok chaps, I am hoping I have resolved the AI spawn, so,....... I am going to have one last go tomorrow (Thursday) with the mission. (starting from fresh). The score module has been updated so I am afraid you will loose any score that is not banked if you are killed. I will save at the end of the night and then re-load it before the next session to see if it works, rather than save during the first session and then perhaps waster your time if it does not load. Fingers crossed. Hope to see you all in the next session. Friar3 points

Salute Chaps I am afraid I have had to do a bit of a "re-set" on the Campaign. Due to some issues I was having with the saved data being reloaded after I had made some changes to the mission file (adding planes and clearing the carrier decks). Last night (Monday) we started the mission again and re-saved after about a 2 hours of play. We can pick this up on Thursday. It does mean that the scores started again. Sorry about that. We still have captured Gazintep so that airfield could be used for rearm and refuel (no spawn). Some of the towns will need to be attacked again. On the plus side, it did give the opportunity to change the way the enemy AI is generated. Hopefully now the air to air element should be constant through out the duration of the mission.2 points

We have successfully hindered the enemy withdrawal by sea, the next objective are enemy airfields. Transport planes have landed there to ferry men and material to the mainland , we have an opportunity to catch them on the ground as they refuel. P-38s will attack at low level and bomb the stationary planes. Spitfires will provide cover. Expect heavy flak and air cover as the enemy try to protect their comrades . P-38s are limited to 2*500 for first sortie then any bombload they like for further sorties It will be an air start with ground bases available to land at if required Mission scheduled for Sunday 2nd February2 points

Hey I'm Squee7e (or Max irl), 29 years old, from Germany and i learned about this squadron when some of you on the WingWalkers PvE server invited me to your voice chat. I first played flight sims when i was a kid and the OG IL2 Sturmovik was on the CD in a computer magazine my father bought for me. Sadly back in the day i didn't have the friends that shared my passion so after some years i stopped playing and switched to other games. Last year i rediscovered my passion for flying and bought myself a new rig with proper peripherals (though only TrackIR and no pedals yet) and got a new module everytime there was a sale. I play mostly PvE because i am not a fighter ace and without a wingman it ends the usual way but if you need someone who watches your six you can rely on me in PvP as well. I also own some DCS modules but didn't want to invest too much money into it without some people to fly with and until the Razbam issue is being resolved. I am looking forward to flying with you guys2 points

@Friar @delta7 That sounds awesome! I should've looked more closely before making any assumptions about the time frames you're flying in I think I'll prepare the mappings for my current peripherals and practice the Tiger a bit since it is one of the easier planes to get used to and I still have to set up the controls for the new throttle I bought a month ago. Haven't played much DCS for a while so I don't want to come completely green 🌱 Tanks for the invite! Update: Everything set up and ready for tonight2 points
-
Thanks for your kind replies, guys! @Friar I looked up the DCS section of the forum here and got the impression that you guys exclusively fly WW2 planes. Sadly I don't have any of those but I'll let you know if I decide to buy one. I only have Flaming Cliffs 2024, the Saab Viggen and the Syria map (I bought it for the legendary cold war server of Enigma89) Which scenarios do you guys prefer? I think I'd choose a plane accordingly when there's a sale. @delta7 see you on Sunday then I might be there a bit later due to dinner time but I'll join you guys right after Edit: Just visited the IL2 page to update the squadron tag2 points

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.2 points

Gentlemen Despite our best efforts the enemy has succeeded in withdrawing significant amounts of men and material to the mainland. Our next task is to soften up the coastal batteries in preparation for a troop landing in Southern Italy The primary task is to eliminate the control and command HQ in a fortress and to eliminate the coastal guns guarding the entrance to the port of Boughrara The A20s will bomb , the spitfires will escort. Expect heavy air cover Mission is scheduled for 16th Feb 2100 uk time1 point

@FoolTrottel I did think of something sort of similar, I thought about a menu option for selection the current mission number, that would then be perhaps used against a flag so that number sequence AI would be used, early days on the thought process that one. @Everyone 1. Would it matter if AI flights were air started? Might be easier for me replicate the flights? 2. Do you want constant enemy AI in the air or should we be able to eliminate the air threat each mission?1 point

So, this is where I am at with the Campaign. It really is funny how the mind works. I have been asking questions of Cfrag (coder of DML) just recently about generated units being killed and then not re-spawned when the next mission is loaded using the rolling persistence saved data. My sole focus was making sure that any ground units we take out that are protecting towns and airfields would not come back when the next mission is loaded. Mind Blown this morning, out of no where came the realisation that I believe that this will apply to AI flights as well so if we take out the flights that are put up against us in one mission they will not reappear in the next nor for the rest of the campaign. At the moment I have a pulse that is set for every 5-10 minutes which goes to a randomizer that picks an airfield from one of six available. That airfield then picks a flight from maybe 5 or 6 flights. I am now faced with having to come up with a solution that will provide enough air interest to keep the air to air jockeys happy over what could be a 6-10 session campaign. I get there is the argument that a side needs to gain air superiority before a ground war can commence but for game-play I need stuff in the air each mission. Gulp! I now need to think up a way of being to provide continuous air activity so will have to pause the Campaign until I get a spark of inspiration. Happy to listen to any ideas / suggestions BTW.1 point

No time wasted Colin, it's all enjoyable, don't apologise! Appreciate all that you're trying to do, to pull together something more than the ordinary. I wish I had the time and knowledge to help. If you can't get it quite how you want it right now, are there further levels of complexity you can roll back on?1 point

I have this morning resolved the issue of AI spawning after another quiet night on the air to air front (still at least it gave Blubear time to play with his new toy )1 point

I missed this category & posted in another and wingfly replied. I used to fly Il2 and enjoyed it. Unfortunately I uninstalled it yrs ago. I remember it had several mods versions that got fairly complicated to install. Suprizingly, I still have Hyperlobby installed though it likely needs updating. I primarily fly the hornet and enjoy carrier ops the most. I live in the U.S. Mountain time zone so UK time is perfect for me as I have afternoons available to fly. I'm looking for a Discord link so to join up with you guys and see how things go. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Cheers!1 point

Hello, combat flt simmer for some time, particularly the hornet. Sounds like you chaps have a good 'ole time together flying various airframes. What time, GMT, do you officially get together on Mondays & Thrs.? What aircraft do you usually fly in your missions? Do you have various squadrons for different aircraft, ie, hornet, viper, etc.?1 point

Yes, thank you wingflyr for the reply. I'll look for a Discord link, stop by & see what you guys are up to.1 point

Oh Yes, I'm In. Yes I hear you Kev, I disco-ed out right at the beginning and could not come back, very very disappointing. I was so looking forward to it. Bloody workers working on the power line in the back laneway cut the power. I will recruit the boys Zukker, Sherriff, Niall, Perf, and Sqwak.1 point

@DD_Fenrir @Friar I think the mod installation was succesful (no bugs when spawning in the Hercules) but it took me a while because i was looking for a Saved Games folder... since my OS is in German this folder is called Gespeicherte Spiele on my PC Please don't ask how long it took me to realize that haha1 point

Hi mate, good talking to you last night and to see you here, I'm sure someone will sort out the full forum access for you. The il2 group you met will be back online Sunday around 20:15 UK time1 point

@Squee7e Welcome Sir, Thank you for coming to find the DangerDogz. We play both IL2 and DCS. We fly IL2 on Sundays and Tuesdays from around 20:00 UK time. We play a mix of dogfight maps, co-op maps and are currently running a special event with another group taking part. For Comms the group still use Teamspeak. We fly DCS on Monday and Thursdays from around 20:00 UK time as well. For comms we use Discord. If you would like to fly DCS with us, please let me know which modules and maps you have. We are a friendly bunch and make no demands on how much you fly with us, we all have Real Life V1.0 to contend with! We also do not expect you to attend training sessions before you can fly. We do have another member from Germany that flies with us, his name is @Mosquito or "Mossie"1 point

"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!!1 point

Whoop! And don't worry Colin, I won't need to run through any briefs, I prefer my own, ideally secured around my waist.1 point

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!1 point

A Wing Walkers server session. 4 Dogz show up to suppress an airbase. Random fight but you can see the elements of a typical intercept. Spot the target. Lead pursuit till the target is in range. Pull in behind with a touch of lag pursuit, steady sights and shoot. https://youtu.be/_W8jA5-ZU8k1 point
