@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.

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

Its 6 months since Amber died and we have now got another rescue Retriever called Rosie

@BluBear @Friar @Zukker @wingflyr @DD_Sheriff @fruitbat @Ben griffiths @Perfesser Unfortunately, due to issues with the recent bug ED introduced with vast swathes of scenery going up in flames with even a single 500lb bomb hit, I am obliged to postpone this event until there is a fix; the prison is getting nuked with even just one Mosquito-load of bombs. I am as disappointed as you, but we are ready to go live as soon as the issue is fixed.

@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

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?

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

Nowt rong we Yorkshire. A proper brew.

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

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.

@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.

I might be able to dust off a tank if that is ok? What time do you muster?
