@Crash -yes, I had seen it. My AAA is my own and I have checked it can be destroyed. Thanks any way.

Morning Crash, Ok I will put the server back up now (time now 09:03) so it is there for you. Many thanks. Friar oops - just realised you have mission files. Do you want the server or will you do it on your machine?

I need to start gathering test results chaps; I have a list of the spawn points below. Please update it to confirm if you have checked any of the locations. You can spawn in safe and that there are no floating vehicles. Please add "Spawn Ok / No Floaters" for example. Thank you. Jorf - checked Al Ayati - checked Ben Slama - checked Boughrara - checked Boughrara East - checked Its A Khabab - checked Dirka Dirka - checked Gourine - checked El Grean - checked Bir Krenifis - checked Bungalow - checked Mtorrech - checked El Amal - checked Smar - checked Gabes - checked Bir El Hassei - checked Sanini An Nahal - checked Arram - checked Arram West - checked Sidi Makhlouf - checked El Fedje - checked Ejjfara - checked Ejjfara East - checked Tounine - checked Lazaiza - checked Mareth - checked Kettana - checked @26/10 - all checked - a few errors found which is great. many thanks to @Crash for his help.

Ok, so perhaps "Alarm" was a bit strong - was to raise awareness that IL2 might be changing hands

Add this bit of info to what we have absolutely no idea as to what's going on... it's all a waiting game. Team Fusion Posted 6 hours ago 1C Entertainment, a division of 1C, was sold to Tencent, a Hong Kong based software/gaming company. 1C Entertainment was re-named under its new ownership to Fulqrum Publishing. BLITZ and TOBRUK were 1C Entertainment titles, and are now owned by Fulqrum. (also a lot of other former 1C Entertainment titles) Fulqrum distributes its games through Steam and other 3rd Party sites. 1C/777 is a separate company, formed as a joint company by 777 Games and 1C. It publishes GREAT BATTLES.... their website used to sell BLITZ and TOBRUK too... but no longer. --- Development of TF titles is by the volunteer efforts of TF members... with sharing of any software licensing costs by 1C. TF then gets a percentage of revenue share from sales of these TF developed titles.

@Petrol Please see PM.

Salute Petrol, I will send you a PM with our Teamspeak details and some other stuff. Welcome to the pound (again) and I look forward to speaking soon. Regards Friar

Your mod folder should have this file and JSGME look like this...

As of Sunday 23/10 23 downloads so far! Looking good chaps. As of Friday 28/10 50 downloads !

Yep just extract the zip file into there and it should be able to be applied via JSGME. It will be great to have you with us this time Artie, both for your skill and "Bon Ami"

not yet no.

Salute Chaps, Please find below a link to the final version that will be used in the North Africa Campaign. This version now contains the skins provided by Sid (thank you sir). He has skillfully produced Allied desert tanker skins, the desert skin for the Sherman, AAA truck and also a German skin for the U2. The link is as follows https://www.mediafire.com/file/x1hvnnmocw758ri/NorthAfricaCampaign.zip/file This version is slightly smaller (3.4GB) than the previous one (5.4GB) as I have removed all the skins for planes we will not be using. Any problems, let me know. Friar

Salute, I have this morning (Saturday) uploaded onto the server a test map for the up coming North Africa Campaign. I was hoping some of you guys would be able to help me test the map for design issues. I have enabled ALL spawn points. There have been reports of floating vehicles so we need to spawn in at every location and check for a safe spawn in and that the parked convoy vehicles are not floating. I also need confirmation that Allied planes can not take and single bomb of more than 500lb and that Axis planes can not take any single bomb of more than 250kg (multiple load-outs allowed for both sides) I have left instructions about other features to test in the mission brief. It would really help if anyone has some time today to take a look for me please? Note: - The password is the usual dogfight / co-op one. Cheers Friar

Should we ask for it ? or do they generally get released a short time after or does someone have to crack it?

Great stuff Sid - I look forward to the North Africa Skin

Please see below answer to my question from the IL2 forum 1 and 2 for the driver activate first and second smoke generator, 1 and 2 for gunner or commander fires the mortar with smoke or HE mine respectively. It's all described in the Station Notes.

Update: 12/10/2022 Added Churchill to tank range and town skirmish Added more targets to tank range Added 2 hidden convoys on tank range that only come in when certain vehicles are killed (not telling which one) Added Ju52's (but only after you kill trigger vehicle )

Here are the final points and plan of captured towns

We LOST on points but over the 6 sessions it is a tiny margin really. Less than 20 points per round.

I am just clearing up a small discrepancy with Deacon but it looks like over the 6 sessions we were down by about 90 points so overall I think we can claim an overwhelming victory.

Salute, Well, what a night. A great turnout, so a big thank you to everyone that made the effort to attend and/or made changes to their schedule or call in favors with their partners to take part. It was much appreciated and I hope you all found it worth the effort! My objective for the final mission was to take Cambrai. I knew we were going to have issues with the bridges to get into the town and was hoping for a good turnout of pilots to give us a chance. Well you chaps certainly played your part in making it possible for us (well me, actually) to get over the bridge once it had repaired, Wingflyer was with me but they took it out again before he could cross. I don't think they knew I had made it and so was able to take the flag in Cambrai unopposed. That was the launch pad for us then to start rolling up their other towns. The tankers then played their part fighting and winning key engagements to both enable the advance and protecting the ground we had made. In the air above our pilots were certainly keeping the enemy on their toes scoring multiple victories. By the end of the evening we had not only taken Cambrai but also Iwuy, Noyelles and Esnes. If the campaign was to go on we were well on the way to rolling into the home HQ's. We ended up with 22 of the available 33 locations. I can not single anyone out last night for praise as everyone played their part, in the tanks, Mossie, Sid, Crash, Wingflyer, FT, Zukker and Ben, in the air, Fenrir, Beagle, Painless, Blubear, Delta7 (ably assisted by Soapy flying his first mission with the Dogz as a rear gunner), Funflack and Perfesser. I hope everyone that played in every mission or was just able to take part in the odd one found this concept of having the planes and tanks work together and pitting our skills against another squad (a task which I think we rose to admirably) challenging and exciting in equal measures, I know I certainly had a few "squeaky bum" moments! Mission building wise, I have learned a lot from this campaign, design features I will look to take on to other campaigns and improve. "North Africa" (using Off_Winters Kuban mod) is well on the way and I will be releasing a map for testing soon. Again, I thank all of you that took part and for making the many, many hours I have put into it all worth while.

Salute "soapy" Welcome to the pound... It gives me great pleasure to say "Welcome to the DangerDogz". We have reviewed your application and deemed you fit to join the Dogz so I will be PMing you details of our TeamSpeak channel and other details. We have a number of members across the US and also Canada so even if the UK flying times do not suit your schedule, hopefully you can fit in. Cheers Friar

Sorry Chaps - no go on 23rd from 352nd. How about 9th or 30th?
