Friar

Update 11th September Just 4 of us on duty last night (myself, @BluBear, @PapaBear, @wingflyr) No progress was made due to difficulties with the terrain (FARPS in deep, high sided valleys) and protected by difficult SAMs. I am on holiday next week so if you guys want to fly the mission please remember that you must change the mission back to something else right afterwards.

One was taken on Blubears phone but I guess he has not had time to post it. I will ask tonight if he flys.

Mass fly past

Part 1 of the mass take off. I rotated my phone and am currently trying to work out how to rotate the rest of the footage.

@DD_Fenrir - is it just you or did I recall you saying you are bringing Joe and Olive as well?

I have just booked along with Mrs Friar. See you there chaps!

@fruitbat - I do remember that now. Thanks for the reminder. As you were chaps Datalink slots will start with 00200 for slot 1 and go up to 00207 for slot 8.

I am just doing what I should have done years ago and starting an exercise book with notes on how to do stuff. I am just writing up the F16 setting up the Datalink. I think it would make more sense if we all agreed to start with 00201 for slot 1 and so on 00202 for slot 2? Rather than starting at 00200 for slot 1 All those in favor say "Aye"

PPD UPDATE I have gone into the files and found the scores for all players that have taken part in the campaign to date and have arrived at the following PPD score (points / deaths) Wingflyr 109.42 Zukker 50.0 Squeeze 34.11 Delta 19.36 Blubear 244.33 PapaBear 151.25 Squawk 235.0 Fruitbat 441.07 Friar 129.41 Fenrir * 101.26 * Fen has flown with multiple id's and this score reflects all those added together. The compilers of this chart would like to ask Fen if he could please fly with the same id......

... Or to look at the points a different way, the "Danger Dogz PPD Rating" (that's Points Per Death) @BluBear = 244.33 @fruitbat = 441.07 @Friar = 129.41 @DD_Fenrir = 145.84 @wingflyr = 109.42 I will try and get the PPD's for everyone that has taken part so far.

UPDATE 7TH AUGUST 2025 More good ground achieved with thanks to @DD_Fenrir, @fruitbat and @BluBear. Fen kept the skies clear to enable Fruitbat and Blubear to go SAM hunting whilst I did the advance work on the next FARP. Capturing the airfield of Mineralnye proved challenging due to the protection of the Juliett SAM site. Please see the map below and also the current state of the scoring as of last night.

If I knew what that was I would get excited as well ! The chart is on the "kneeboard". A feature all planes in DCS have. They list all the airfield layouts and approaches / runways etc.

@wingflyr - If you buy this you also get the second version which WILL HAVE player flyable air-to-air refuelling. May be quite a way down the road though. In the interview they talk about the possibility of flying a mission escorted by an F18 to drop cargo and then re-fuelling him on the way home.

WOW !!! This is going to take some study time !!!

I have pre-purchased it - Not buying anything else though.
