Friar

oops...!

Looks more like a baby dragon to me....

Home from a really great day at the museum. Thanks to Jabo for picking up and delivering me to the station. Nice to meet Mr Fenrir Snr, also great to see Fenrir Jnr and Blubear. For those that do not know - in the picture in front of the mossie its Right to Left: Fenrir, Friar, Blubear, Jabo

Blowing instead of sucking?

Update: 20/07/2022 AAA group removed.

@Sid and @Painless - no worries chaps, we will tell you all about it.

@Jabo - thanks for the offer but I can get a bus or a cab quite easily from the station. Looking forward to catching up with those going. I guess meet in the car park?

What time are we thinking of arriving. Opens at 10:30. Shall we say 11:30? Does that suit those that are driving?

Are we still on for this Saturday - Who is confirmed as going? Do we call it off if numbers are low? Friar

Update: 18/07/2022 Ground Attack: Added: P47 both types, Typhoon, Pe2 both types, HS129 Bombers: Added: Ju87 (stuka) also added to Air Start WWI: changed direction of take off into slight wind Bomb Targets: Removed AAA from all bridges, also slightly increased delays in repair loop to 3 minutes per bridge when killed. Created new stand alone AAA battery. Repair time per gun set to 5 minutes when killed.

Excellent Jabo - would be good to have you join us again. Next session against 352nd is penciled in for 31st July. Pilots welcome as well as tankers.

Update: Added tank (group of M4A1 and group of panzer IV) and artillery platoons as extra ground targets. All will repair after 1 minute when killed.

Salute chaps Deacon from 352nd has suggested Sunday 31st July?

Salute sir, I am sure you realise that all our thoughts and best wishes are with you at these difficult times. Flying is not and never has been compulsory with the Dogz and even if you wanted just to sit in Teamspeak and just listen to the chaos (yes, we have not got any better while you have been away!) or chat to people outside of your "inner circle" you know we are always here. All the best Friar

Update: Wind added at 3m/s at all altitudes up to 5000m.

@Sid - you can not randomise weather in Box. But I will look to add 3m/s at 2500m I might add the same at ground and add the wind sock just for effect. I need to put some clouds in as well.

I have updated the map to now include an air start at 2500m for bombers plus two factory complex as targets. All of the elements of the factories will fully repair after 1 minute after being killed. Is this too high, not high enough? I have also added more targets to the tank range.

Its coming on...

Salute, I have decided to create a DangerDogz Training base. This will consist of a airfield with decent sized concrete runways and feature spawn points for Jets, Ground Attack, Fighters, Bombers. I am also going to add a tank range. I could do with some help adding the different plane types to the associated span points. If a plane has a multi role it could be added to more than one spawn point. All the starts are currently set to be "parked". I am planning then to add all sorts of targets and objectives around the map (it is Rhineland and the airfield is Volkel). If anyone would like to help I can send them the mission files and talk you through how to add a plane to a spawn point, it is very simple, honest. Many thanks in advance. Friar

I guess we could drop the tank server during the week and use it for training and practice. I will have a look at building a new map that could be run on the server that has both elements, a tank range, a bombing / ground attack range for aircraft as well as a nice big concrete runway for testing take offs and taxiing. How would that sound?

Perhaps we need to watch for increased traffic to the site? Use it to try and do a bit more recruiting perhaps? I can do a bulk email to people who have visited the site recently and ask if they are looking for a squad perhaps?

Wow! that is some sim-pit if you have!

That is very kind of you from someone who has not even flown with us yet.

It is just Tank Crew tonight (Saturday) no flying and probably on a public server as well.
