Doh! Sorry, did not read this thread correctly. This is a bit like the story of how the Noon day gun in Edinburgh always gets the correct time. A tourist was interested to find out so asked at the gunnery station. One of the troop told him that he could see a clock makers in one of the streets below and used his time. Whilst wondering about the city he came across said clock makers and asked him how he knows his clock out side the shop was right, he was told by the owner that he sets it by the noon day gun.

Just found this over on the IL2 forums in a similar thread of someone looking for a manual... http://akvictoria.by/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/P-38-Lightning.pdf

@DD_Fenrir is the sort of guy that if you show him a picture of 9 rivets on a Spitfire he will tell you not only the mark but which day of the week it was made, which factory and if it was Gladys or Doris that was putting them in. He is our guru...

@Painless have you ever been cited in a divorce case before?

Sorry for my non-attendance. I was just not feeling up to it. Nothing to do with second jab, that was fine (had it on Sunday morning), may have been too much sun, may be down to generally feeling a bit apathetic about stuff and life at the moment.

I will be taking a break from mission building for a while so we will be running generated missions or stuff downloaded eg Advance and Secure missions for a few weeks. I am still thinking about the next series however. I am looking at the North Africa mod but that is still in beta and do not want to go with it until it can be completely trusted. So that brings me back to when I want to start mission building again, what sort of series would you like to have? Any thoughts or ideas welcome. Does not have to be historical, could be a made up scenario.

Ok So I will put my offer of attending my place for a get together on hold for now. Lets see what pans out

Will it be a push for you to make it P&P? - it would be a shame for you two to miss this one.

Salute Just to give you a heads up and to give you plenty of time to explain to your partner why you need to be on the Computer Saturday evening. We will be running the final phase of the "Battle of The Bulge" series this Saturday, 29th May. It will be a two scenario affair. The first is we must stop Bastogne being re-supplied and reinforced, and the second, the final push to try and make it into the town and take the Allied HQ, located in the central church. Start time will be 20:30 UK time Would be great to have everyone there and perhaps a few more Multi-crews? Cheers Friar.

Was the carrier called Tom as well?

281 Dear Pilots! Behold the mighty Typhoon Mk.Ib in action! Coming soon to Battle of Normandy! It is now in Beta and is scheduled for release in June. It's another beauty by our talented team. This beast is armed with 4 x 20 mm Hispano cannons and can carry multiple rockets like the RP-3 in HE and AP flavors or a pair of 250 lb. or 500 lb. bombs. The cockpit is another tubular framework popular with British designers of the period. It just looks angry with those rockets slung under the wings! The Typhoon Mk.Ib helped pave the way for the Allied invasion of Normandy and soldiered on throughout the war pounding German ground units at every opportunity. We will feature no less than 21 Typhoon squadrons in our Normandy career with 4 of them flyable initially. Jason has created another special poster. This time inspired by the beautiful emblems of Typhoon equipped squadrons. These emblems were created by our artwork partner (and newly minted rocket engine engineer) Isaac "SolidKreate" Chavira. Full Size Poster HERE. We hope you enjoy these screenshots. They were a blast to make. Also in the works for Normandy is the solid nose Junkers Ju 88 C-6 which will make for an interesting maritime patrol and ground attack aircraft. Is it as effective and versatile as the American A-20B has proven to be? We shall find out! And finally, we have built a big 380 mm gun that was known as the Todt Battery. In BON it will try, and in real life it really did try to pound the Allied invasion forces into oblivion. During the real invasion it stayed operational until late September 1944 when it was finally captured by Canadian troops. Check out this short video as we test its animations. In other important news - next week, we plan to make an announcement about some additional content we plan to add to the Great Battles series, we hope you will be happy. Stay tuned! See you in the sky and on the battlefield! The Sturmovik Team

Hey @Seagoon, I would be interested to talk to you about your Quest 2 and how it performs in IL2. I am thinking about getting one having recently sold by Rift original.

Hello Seagoon and welcome to the pound. Yes you have stumbled upon a great group of guys to fly with where our number one rule is to have fun. Our flying schedule for GBS is Tuesday and Sunday. We also play Tank Crew on a Saturday evening. Start times around 19:30 UK time. Where are you based? We have guys from the UK, Europe, North America, Canada and even Australia! Can I ask how you found out about the DangerDogz?

+1 to Friday night and Saturday at the show

I saw this and was going to post. using an AAA gun is a lot more complicated than I thought! Thanks for posting Crash

Although I downloaded it I don't think I have actually ever played it, so all good from me. Is there anyway to put a message up on the server when (and if) people join to notify them of the fact that it will be being taken down permanently from say 2 weeks from now? Also does this give us the potential / capacity to put up a public GBS server? We could switch between Tank Crew only and perhaps running flying co-ops like in the old 46' days? Might attract a few people our way? Salute FT for all your work in keeping Clod going all this time with very little support.

I have just got some in game recording sorted out, nothing up to BluBears standard but hopefully gives an idea of what goes on during Saturday Night...

We are flying GBS tonight if you have the details and want to join us. I should be on Teamspeak from about 7:15/7:30 Co-ops should start around 8:30 but there will be a dogfight map up before that so come on in when ever you can.
