Friar

wow you guys are quick. i thought that i would post early this morining (9:40) uk time and get in first, how wrong was I! I too endorse the congratulations to Doubletap, well done mate. At times the battle was intense. I could really imagine what it would of been like for real. Pilots screaming for help, confusing messages comming in and all without the benifit of an instant/easy grid reference. I would have lasted about 30 seconds, infact thats about how long I did last in contacts last night! Well done to every one on both the Red and Blue teams. Congratulations to Delta7 for handling his role not as Blue Leader but "Blue Team Battle Co-ordinator" so well, another great job. Awards: Best one man killing machine: Psycho Worst use of Luftwaffe equipment and resourses: frior-one Favourite quote of the night: "So tell me, why do they call you Psycho?" Where do I sign up for the next one please.........?

and you shoot RED

hey we've hit the big five oh (members). anyone notice that th forum seems to be getting busier leading up to friday 5 (members on line now)

Blue team - ignore last post - Axis mis-information campaign in full swing.

Red Team - are you aware of the european mid-summer time shift that has just been brought in? Western Europe clocks are to be put back an hour from 20:00 bst on thursday

sorry von toner, it must be heat of battle, you are signed up for the blue team, its the reds you want to wipe out....... :oops:

i made my post about vulching for fear of what you describe Glen, however, it was made with a lack of understanding as to how the map would work. If there are more than a few airfields we can fly from, and the method of changing airfield is quick, then fine. (once on our df server I wanted to change home base and to wait what seemed ages for the message "please wait for host to acknowledge change" or something like that. and in the end disconnected. if this is what ill happen on friday night then it will spoil it for me. ) I can understnad your point of view- it was a real war tactic, and Jim's - this is meant to be fun.

I had just posted something similar in the nail your colours post when Glen pointed me here. No vulching and no externals for guidance of other craft in combat are great ideas. please do not turn externals off completly though.

Yes, its was me, I dont know, you help a parishioner, and they pay you back by blowing away one of your wings. Sometimes the work of the holy order is tough. Well done top-ace

Arsenal I would say ravage only 3 of them, the fourth send by DHL to Frior-One, The Priory, High-On-A-Hill-Top, Lichtenstein.

I'd go for the no vulching rule as well, and perhaps a gentlemens agreemnet (as we are all gentelmen of our word...are we not?) that if you are killed or back at your own base we do not use extrenal view to offer advice to other pilots about whats around them. View for entertainment by all means, but no guidance. Go Blue !

glad to hear it VT, will be a pleasure knowing you are on my side

The Priory are currently selling Rafale tickets for the Fete, you can win 5lb of Mrs Thonlinsons Home made marmarlade...

There is nothing wrong in wanting to shoot down those little spitties, the dirty heathens will deserve it come friday night but say 3 tally-ho's for your sins, now go in peace, oh and Delta7 GIVE THEM HELL !!

I have just noticed that, following the posting of my prayer, my new status has been confirmed. If any of you would like to discuss any problems with me I can assure you that they will be treated with the utmost kindness. I have been known for being a good listner. I would also like to assure you all that any thing you confide in me will be kept secret, that is untill I have amassed my biggest points score and on my way back home when you get on my six, then I will only be doing the priorys work by telling anyone willing to listen! Parish Update Issue 1 Mrs Scriggins will be holding her usual cake sale on Sunday, all those pilots flying TB3's please note as they are useful when low on ammo. Last weeks whist drive raised £4.76 well done Mrs Scrimsure. The Virgin Young Wives Group I am affraid to say has been disbanded due to the laid back attitude of its members. Congratulations to the cricket team (for our friends across the pond-two sides one in one out the team thats out tries to get the team thats in out when the team thats out has got the team thats in out they go in and the team that was in then goes out and tries to get the team that was out and is now in out.-ok? Oh and done while wearing their best sunday whites with a stop during the afternoon for tea and nice creamy cakes, the ones with jam and cream that ooze out the side when you bite in) for a fine performance scoring 48 all out. Keep up the good work, more in the next issue.

i bumped into topace last night in teamspeak (i had just d/l teamspeak display and wanted to see how it worked). I spent a while with him teaching him how to use the mission builder to construct a mission for gunnery practice (c-47 flying in a big square) and told him about re-viewing what he had done but showing him how to record the mission. he seems to tink that it will help.

yes sged, both sides will be assigned a plane set (as near as possible to that as was around at the time)

hello big-boy, show you a good time...tell me about these liddle piddle plans then

I would like to open the bidding on the MERC's. Fly with blue and I will give you the use of the brown armchair on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your own car parkspace out side the billet, oh and the provision of a good woman every third Thursday in the month (i know some nuns with dirty habbits).* *In months that do not contain three Thursdays, one will be provided on the second Friday.

some are born to greatness, others have it thrust upon them. me, I'll go make the tea. Oberleutnant frior-one at your service sir!

many thanks dave, i think i can really only go to trackir3. that will give me left/right/up/down correct? just not backward and forward? what do you use for a reflector? spot on a cap/mike boom? does that work well? i thought about putting some sort of white led run by battery on a cap. would this give better results? do you know of any examples. my fingers are itching to push "buy" just wanted to be re-assured that v3 will be enough for me. if not then i will not buy it at all. also i will need to add usb ports. what does the panel reccommend, usb hub/powered hub/pci card ? many thanks for advice

I am thinking about getting trackir. can anyone point me to a uk seller as i am having trouble finding anyone. Cheers

Glen mentioned last night (thur 1/6) that he was not sure who was in so come on guys feel free to edit this post and put your name under the relevant heading. (use dots to format the position) if you have a preference number put it in a bracket. ..ALLIED..................................AXIS...............................EITHER Redeye(1).............................frior-one..............................B16ENK BG.......................................Redeye (2).........................Rattler guitarman68..........................VonTonar...............................sged jensenpark(2)........................jensenpark(1).........................Psycho delta7(2)...............................delta7(1)...........................waldo.pepper Cannon(1)..............................Cannon(2)...........................
