This happened earlier this year, a/c took off from airport close to my hometown, and its engine quit shortly after take off. One of the occupants switched on his helmet-camera. One could title this one "too low to bail out" (17 skydivers and one pilot on board). Pilot did very good ...

Hi all, The OpenBeta server had been updated by FT to accommodate the Mosquito's at the WW2 airfield; I have gone further and tweaked it to allow some more as demand seems to be high for this airframe. A such there are now 12x Mossie slots in case there's a flood of Dogz keen to get stick time in the Wooden Wonder. Also, I have discovered that as long as the mission creator pre-loads the wing mounted bombs so that you spawn in with them already attached then they will drop from the aircraft. They only refuse to release when you use the rearm menu to put them on the aircraft. Because of this each Mossie will be pre-loaded with a full bomb load of 4 x 500lb bombs when you spawn in. If you don't want them then please use the re-arm menu to get them taken off your aircraft. Plus the Mossies have a new target! There's now a power station protected by flak in the valleys East of Batumi airfield (the WW2 Axis airfield) - had an interesting run against it last night testing the mission and managed to flatten a couple of buildings whilst only getting a nibble from the flak. Got involved in a dust up with the D-9s shortly after but that's another story.... Furthermore, after requests to make the mission a little less gloomy, I have also changed the weather pattern; previously it was set to 'Broken 5' which whilst very interesting and quite beautiful in the air was masking the sun appreciably. I have in it's stead trialled 'Scattered 3'; it seems less gloomy but still interesting visually but I am open to feedback from the various users if this was too far or not enough. Let me know.

Hi Everyone, Title of my New Topic sounds a bit misleading 😆 but I'm sure you all get the gist. I signed up with the Dangerdogz just last week and have already had some conversations with Friar, who said I should make a post to introduce myself. So here it is. I only started doing online multiplayer flying about 18 months ago and joined a group of young guys who have been very friendly and helpful in improving my skills. The group numbers have diminished however and there's only 4 of us who fly regularly now on the public servers like Finnish / Combat Box etc, and also dabble a bit in DCS. I had a look around some of the other online groups and thought the Dangerdogz easy going attitude (and average age - for me anyway 😃) of attending flying sessions "when you can" was pretty much inline with how it's been for the the past 18 months. I've spoken to the other 3 guys and I'm hoping they'll sign up with the Dangerdogz soon as well. Hope to talk to you all soon. Roy

Yep, got a ticket - shades of the old Breitling Fighter team there Chris!
