Many thanks guys for the help. The prize for the correct answer and wins 2 nights with Sisters Ruth and Susan goes to......... Rattler! taking out the /files/maps/_tex/trees/alteredbush9a seems to have the job! Salute

any advice of these blocks graphics issue.bmp

thanks TOAD, I have just done a bit of housekeeping and deleted the 1581 messages I had in my box..... Perhaps everyone else ought to have a look at what dead messages they still have... Thanks for the pics anyway...

oh get a room....

I like the idea, to get it actually printed would be cool with dates on. The dogz logo must be on each page (leaving off the bit about pussies though!) for a dogz calendar I think it should be representative of what we fly, so perhaps shots of.. Spit 109 190 110 p38 p51 wildcat/hellcat zero il2 gladiator stuka b25 la5 Not much time left so lets get cracking... Friar

Ok, I am booked for Friday and Saturday nights. I have booked a twin so am willing to share. I will require .mp3 of your snoring to judge quality and volume before committing LOL!

Many congratulations Nick. Well deserved.. Cheers Friar

Hi Guys, Just wanted to sorry for not being around much lately. My isp (BT) has got some problems as my connection is down to a download speed of of 0.13 mps! Needles to say I am on their case and hope to be back to better than normal soon!

Salute Sir, I have only just caught up with this news. I am not really a religious man, so can not offer any prayers. All I can say is let us hope the combined good wishes from all those that hold you in the highest regard somehow find their way through the ether to give you the strength to fight this son-of-a-bitch. Colin and Janet

Just downloaded all the parts. Great job Dino. Many thanks.

@Jedi - LOL! Excellent post from the home of all knowledge on the net - jedipedia!.

No worries for the no shows guys, sometime life conspires against us

Dino is currently working on something that will make Spielberg wince I believe!

You were Gec, (and a fine display it was too) but due to a technical oversight on my part I forgot to put something together for you and Swep. You are such nice guys I probably could not have thought of anything anyway (have I filled in the hole I dug yet?) Cheers Friar

Many thanks for all your kind words chaps. A great air show is only as good as the pilots displaying.......... For those of you who might have missed what I was saying, here are my notes for the event...(I have removed the stuff about the planes) Dogsford Flying Schedule and notes All exhibits subject to availability.. Spitfire Scramble by all those who want to take part. - Mass take off, do a couple of figure 8 circuits and then land. Someone to lead please? Jabo? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fenrir - P38 Fenrir, in terms of trees, if BG is a solid old oak, Fenrir is but a mere sapling. The son of a life insurance salesman decided very early on that the wanted to learn to fly. His mother tells stories of him in his pram being pushed along and him lying on his back looking up at the contrails and calling "bogie high six" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staying with the twin engine theme…… Bear (Mate of Fenrir's) - Mossie Bear is flying with us here today at Dogsford under a guest badge. Brought along by Fenrir, early suspicions that he was just an imaginary friend of Fenrir’s were dispelled when he did actually appear at Duxford last year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FT / Kimo – BF110 AND BF109 This next display features the highly rated skills of Fool Throttle and Kimosabi. FT will be showing us one of his favorite rides the BF110. Born to parents who served within the Royal Dutch Family Private Air Transport Service, he was introduced to flying soon after leaving his private school. He signed up with a Dutch Flying Circus and started by being one of the famous “Orange-e-boom Wing Walkers” His display may take a bit longer than the others if thinks he is on long final for Caan. KIMOSABI – BF109 One of our ever growing Scandinavian contingent, although due to his desires to actually become a better pilot he has decided to become a part time dog and sneak off to some other, yes, I was surprised as well that there are other squadrons planning this game as well, squad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sulkey - ME 323 The Dangerdogz are proud to have one of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces fly with us. Sulkey, attached to the SAS, “Spuds and Sausages” he has served meals on several fronts. On one of his last tours of duty his left over mash was loaded into catapults and fired at the enemy. They surrendered almost immediately. He is seen here today flying the strange ME323. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jediteo - P40 Jedi, another one of our Scandinavian members. Although he is a bit more special than the others. Born into the Sweedish Royal Family and sent to England to get a proper education before returning home to take over the country. Taking this task to heart he has been seen studying the moves used by other European powers in their efforts to take over countries. Jedi’s story can soon be seen when his life is being told in a new Hollywood blockbuster which will tell the story of how he came to start “Jedipedia”, the first place any one goes to find something out on the world wide web. Brad Pitt was cast to play him in the film bust was turned down for the role as he was considered to be not good looking enough to do Jedi justice. He presents here the P40. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Badaim Ki-43 (subject to availability) Badaim, or more commonly called BA, is not only a long standing dangerdog but also president of the GunClub. His arsenal is said to be huge, although comms was a bit flakey that night and I think I heard right. He is a multi skilled locksmith. He did his early training at a local medieval theme park removing chastity belts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Guests - "Wings Of Glory" (Close Formation Spitfires) - No further information available at time of going to press. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Painless/Fruitbat (replaced at last minute by Jedi) - P51 2 of our most popular dogz next in what I am hoping to be an excellent display. Lead by Painless, a joint ops instructor, previous winner of Top Gun and rumour has it that Tom Cruise was modeled on him for the film with Dustin Hoffman “The RainMan”. Fruitbat I believe joined us from Joint ops. I am not quite sure what his day job is, it is either something to do with trees or he is a gigolo, as he is often talking about getting wood. Both are excellent pilots and are seen here with their world famous routine in the P51 “tankbuster”. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Joker" Sid has come forward in a Yak9T '43 version, Replaced at last minute by Jabo in a Sea Fury ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balbo - Anyone who wants to join in, even spectators who have not exhibited.

The map for any last minute testing / practice is attached Duxford.mis Duxford_ru.properties

PILOTS BRIEFING Please arrange to fly in and land your plane from 18:00 dogz time. Select the northern most airbase. This is an Air start. Turn 180 and Duxford should be on your nose. Land on runway heading 24. There are 2 available runways. At the end of the runway follow the double red markers to your right and park up along the flight line. You will be instructed to make your way to the take off area at the suitable time. For pilots wishing to start their display via an air start, at the appropriate time, pick your plane from the same northern airbase and make your way to either the northern or southern holding area as per instructions. There will be NO ICONS to facilitate anyone who wants to record the event. I have had a request to leave them on, so they will be on but you may turn them off on your settings if you wish (its in the control settings screen) (Map icons will be on for your plane only) COMMS Main Lobby for all general talk Allied Room for ATC when landing and taking off and holding. Also Solo displays. Axis Room (if you wish) when doing your display if in a pair so that you can concentrate. VISITORS BRIEFING Please pick a plane from the southern base. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFF. Via the static camera switch to the view set up at Duxford to watch the show. MORE PILOTS STILL NEEDED - ANY TAKERS FOR AN OPENING SPITFIRE SCRAMBLE? THOSE THAT ARE FLYING PLEASE PM ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN PUT A RUNNING ORDER TOGETHER

Ok chaps, "Dogsford" is this Sunday (for those that dont know, and where HAVE you been?, its our attempt at Flying Legends) I need to know who will be flying, in what and whether you require an air start or not. Also any special requirements I am proposing to run the map with NO ZUTI and NO ICONS. Please add your details here....

Yes, I have canceled FT so we are now Bedless... I plan on staying Friday and Saturday nights......already booked Friday off work........

Ok, I have just canceled my room (at no cost to me) and am therefore Bedless.... I would prefer to have a hotel rather than under canvas as I think it would be better for the socializing. I think JP's offer is a very generous one and one which we should go with. I propose, we keep this open till Tuesday of next week to get the names and then we book it. It will mean an early start on saturday morning to avoid the traffic but that is a small price to pay for good company. Tell any dog you know that does not come by the boards much that they need to put their name forward NOW...... Salute Friar
