It is a great looking map Delta. I am sure it will come to give us many hours of missions

Monday 2nd June Last night for a change of scenery, myself Fenriir and Max kicked off a new Foothold campaign based on the Syria map. The scenario opens with us flying from Akrotiri or from the Carrier. These are the only Blue operational bases. The first phase objective is for us to secure Cyprus before we can attack the mainland. This campaign is the latest version and has new features such as naming pilots that they are going to hunted down in response to actions they have carried out. For example Max attacked an airbase and then received a message to say that "Squeeze has been targeted and a flight of two have been scrambled" Fen also got a similar message for one of his war atrocities... This will not replace the Caucuses Campaign which is still on going, but gives us the option for a change if we feel like it.

A Foothold campaign on the Germany map is being tested at the moment. Needs everyone to have the map of course....

@wingflyr - Can we run two campaigns at the same time? I mean alternate weeks (to change the map and mix up the flying experience)?

Thanks FT - beat me to it

Update 29th May Many thanks to all those that attended. More ground was made up the coast from Sochi with the taking of the Bravo FARP. After the session I downloaded the latest version of the mission which has added some new performance improvements and in mission features. For example It is now possible to call up EWACS and get bogey information. The Red carrier fleet zone has also moved more off the coast at Sochi. We briefly tested this new version and it does not effect our progress.

Nah, you were just playing at Top Gun - Maverick

Date: 22nd May 2025 Following good teamwork from myself, Blubear, Delta, Max and Fenrir we were able to take out Bravo SAM site and then subsequently capture Sochi airfield, despite the Red forces taking it back after we had initially made it neutral. So we have now moved a little further up the coast. The campaign continues to throw up different challenges each week and I would once again like to thank @wingflyr for the suggestion.

Thanks FT - that was going to be my first job this morning

Hello Roger. Although I am an admin it seems that only the site owner can add admins. I believe this to be @Jabo so I have reached out to him to either transfer ownership to me or get you added. Any news on the financial state of the Dogz server costs please?

Salute Following a request from @Squee7e last night regarding his permissions and non-ability to post pictures onto Discord I reviewed who has "DangerDogz" permissions and found a large number of you did not have the correct permission set. I have now corrected this so the next time you sign onto Discord you may see new threads and options. Enjoy and apologies for the oversight when creating this. Regards Friar

Salute, I have found a skin I will be using for the CH47. Please may I ask, if you have the capacity (or can be bothered) please download and install so that you will be able to see it in game. Many thanks.

Wingflyr said last night they have released a new driver to correct this

Hi Guys, I too had good fun last night flying my Hook' about. Did the icon settings make it too easy last night? What did we think of the rain showers? Would you like to run a night session? Thoughts please?

I have to say the detail in the towns is fantastic. Nice countryside as well. Ramstein airbase is huge with tons of hard shelters hidden in the woods.

I have just installed the Cold War Germany map to the server. So it can be used if/when people start picking up this map.

How many of us will be buying this map? either right away / soon, how many are not fussed and will either skip or wait a lot longer? Also something that is starting to bug me is that are these launch videos getting close to false advertising and just using the disclaimer below as a cop-out for features never going to be included but make the map look extra exciting...

I have tweaked the icon settings and uploaded the mission ready for the next time. I have turned on the usual icon detail level but also put on fog-of-war, so its hopefully middle ground difficulty wise.

@wingflyr - Sorry to have kept bombing questions at you last night, thanks for your assistance in getting this off the ground. It certainly does look like it is going to keep us out of trouble for a while! Performance from my end, I saw no issues at all. I know @PapaBear reported some stutters but I think that may have been a local issue? I will look into the icon settings for the next session.
