We of the Danger Dogz are pretty much a "free Wheeling" bunch of deadbeats that have found ourselves pulled together by the enjoyment we get from playing this sim and chatting to mates via Teamspeak. Here are the guidelines we all go along with to ensure everyone has a good time, and maintain the core Danger Dogz ethic: to have lots of fun. Teamspeak We enjoy the company of members with varying levels of flying skill, from different age groups and from many different parts of the world. Please respect their nationalities, views and beliefs, well, at least until you get to know your fellow flyers and can consider them mates! The general atmosphere on Teamspeak is one of friendly banter, someone said once that it is like being in the pub or bar after work with your mates, we would appreciate it being kept that way. Also, please try and not talk over someone else; particularly if the host is giving out a game IP. If you are going to use voice activated commands for your microphone make sure the sensitivity is turned down so we can't hear your wife farting. Mapping a key and using 'Press To Talk' is preferred. Game Settings If you are new to the Dogz or a guest please make sure you have multi-engine starts mapped properly. Same applies to carrier take offs and landings. Wing fold/unfold, toggle chocks, toggle tailhook, mixture and supercharger (we use Complex Engine Management) should be pre-mapped. Co-Ops The settings are externals on, mini map and speed bar on, map icons off. If we get into competition e.g. Scorched Earth Campaigns, externals will be turned off and limited icons may apply. Although more and more of our pilots prefer to fly "in-cockpit" only, externals can be used if you are killed during a co-op so that you can "watch" the action via "view next friendly" and "view next enemy" (When doing so please do not act as a radar or warning system). Sometimes a player will have an issue at the start of a co-op, a crash on take off, he spawned and blew up etc. If the host is feeling generous (and I am pleased to say that here at the Dogz, they generally are!) you may hear them declare "20 Seconds Guys". This means that he is going to end the mission and re-start it so it is now every man for himself. Kill or be killed. Dogfights We generally start our evening with an hour or so of dogfights. Its is RED V BLUE. Kill or be killed. You are free to pick any plane from the available plane set. If you want to fly RED (allied) in a BF109, feel free to do so, likewise a BLUE (axis) Spitfire, its fine (although some members do take a light hearted exception to seeing one with German markings, "it's just not right"). When joining the dogfight map therefore, please think about keeping the numbers balanced as much as possible. Some members choose this time to practice. We generally say that if that is the case and you are not taking part in the actual dogfight, put your NAV Lights on and other flyers SHOULD leave you alone. However, they should not be used as protection when fighting. Anyone found doing this will be called “A Big Girls Blouse". People also use them when taking off and landing. Please respect this. Please check your connection speed settings, we have determined setting this to 'Modem 56K' has produced the best lag free results (some of our number are still on dial-up). Vulching This is always a contentious issue. We would suggest that you don't until you have settled yourself into our little pack. You may see others doing it, it's more likely to be a bit of pay back

S! £50 now buys you 300Gb storage and 3.5Gb bandwidth IIRC...so negotiate your renewal This site is hosted on Hostgator, so far been very good, more expensive but some nice bells and support has been 99% good. Had 3 hrs down on one server of mine, they deny all knowledge and blame my monitoring software...which is actually a 3rd party company..plus I couldn't access my site either...hmmmm. Pretty good.... I went with them 'cos they were cheap, offered all the bells and whistles I was likely to need and offered lots of space compared to the opposition at the time. Mind you, that was 2 years ago and my renewal is up soon, so it's time to look round again. Yes, uploads can be slow but downloads are very good, and uptime is more than good IMHO. Regards. Maarvin

~S~ Logos. Well written and from the heart.

Excellent, another one of life's mysteries solved

Hmmm. If the skins are uploaded with valid descriptions search should be easy, if they are also categorised it will be even easier. Our new site (to be) has a search function for downloads, if any one has a well organised skin collection we can host it here easily. We can also fine tune/augment our own repository to be a pretty good skin vault.

Bump

Err...sorry didn't you read the contract before you drank the scotch? Attendance is mandatory, you need permission to Not fly! ~S~ and welcome to the kennels

Would have thought that was a reason to welcome you with open arms BG to the UK, or is the truth that the Canadians recognised your expertise and paid a ransom for you to bring it there?

~S~ Maarvin. http://www.airmuseumsuk.org I see that is alive and well on box24.bluehost.com I have a site hosted there, on box24.bluehost.com How do you find them? I have only recently been using them, find they can be slow on uploads but downloads are fine.

~S~ some nice resources there thanks http://www.timezonecheck.com/ is neat!

Posted elsewhere by accident. Work in progress: http://www.dangerdogz.com/joomla/index. ... e&Itemid=1 Order needs to be sorted, but clocks working ok. This is the bare bone of the new K9 site btw...work to do (some).

Nice one again Frior. I had to save reading this for a quiet moment to properly savour it But it's a little short on pictures, is Brenda camera shy or what?

Ahh..now you see that is part of our pilot training routine, or is it a sobriety test? You won't know until you announce whether or not you managed to click it, and then you find out if you either passed training or were booted out for being too sober....

Very good and I liked this one:

That's what happens to the K9 rejects. Keeps the sheep happy knowing they will get revenge eventually.

Yay! I too like the sound of this

Click This Line Ray and all will be revealed

I see what you mean Bucky, at 800 x 600 they are just too wide if screen resolution is 1024 x 768 I'm spoiled 'cos I always run @ 1600 x 1200 and squint a lot on my 17" monitor

#1. Fancy putting this on at the zoo! tsk tsk, never mind.... It's here: Bucky's Story Board I will now recreate it here

Bugger. Just as it was getting nice and quiet.... ~S~ to two new guys then! Edit: See..I can spell after a while.

Judging from the emails I'm getting they seem to be as down and out as the rest of us BG... Bloody desperate if you ask me, wanting to join the dogz after reading the diatribe presented on these very pages.

Wish I hadn't opened this thread...pass the bucket and scrubbing brush JP, got a clean up job needed here too...
