Heads up boys. I asked about settings on their server and this is what Bishop sent: "The settings we would prefer to keep the action fast and fun would be - Fog Of War- on HUD Icons- on Cockpit Always On- on (no wonder woman view) No Player's Own View - on (can't look outside your own plane except when on the ground) --------------------------------------------- Padlocks are completely up to you guys Same with bomb fuses I personally would prefer fragile torpedoes but we'll leave that up to you as well -------------------------------------------- Realistic Gunnery Realistic Engine Management Misc Options full switch We normally turn on friendly views just so eliminated players who can no longer spawn can watch the action, but this is not necessary. With a few exceptions, fun takes precedence over realism so we're pretty open to whatever achieves that. If you don't want to mess with bomb fuses, then no fuses, if you prefer to padlock on to target, cool (just examples). We prefer HUD icons and speed bar, cockpit lock and no personal externals." We will be using vanilla 4.12.2 and our TS. Fun starts at 22:00 GMT but expect our guests to arrive earlier in order to set things up. I'll pass on our TS details and get their server address. I have a map and will put it in the vault. Link here http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/771-base-raid-spartan/ It's a standard small online islands dogfight map with only 2 of the 4 available airfields in use, in a corner diagonally opposite eachother. There are ships as spotters and flak that opens up on you when you have flown half way across the map. It is thick and reasonably accurate. Perhaps we could have a go on it Sunday night before the match? Cheerzen

Re. Scrimmage. Plan is to meet this Sunday 31 May. Base Raid on Spartan server with 4.12.2 vanilla and using our Teamspeak, meeting in the lobby and then using separate rooms for the flying, meeting back in the lobby afterwards. Just need to sort a time as they are 4 hours behind us so could mean a 22:00 GMT start for us. Watcha think?

I've been in touch with Spartans re. the scrimmage, they are asking if our first encounter could be vanilla 4.12.2 as they are sorting out HSFX. Sunday may still be on. I've said we will be using TS.

I'm up for 31st. I'll be the point of contact if you like, I'll apply and see if they'll have me on their forums.....

Hi Bishop, nice to hear from you Great offer, and it's the sort of thing we like. I imagine there will be interest and enough Dogz straining at their leashes wanting to get involved....me for one. Cheerzen Sid

Happy Birthday Gents Hope it's a good 'un!

Cheers Gec, much appreciated

~S~ chaps Do we have a map running on the Dangerdogz server? There are times when we are short of hosts on a Sunday and would like to fly around.....I know there is an answer, get hosting yourself but not always possible. Any maintenance required?

The advert was on the London Underground and was taken down the same day, hopefully before too much upset.

As you have done AP, starting point is 4.12.2, however you get to it. Then apply Modact 5.3 only. Then it has to be module 1, which is the maps that all the other 3 flight eras use. Then module 2, module 3 and module 4. It doesn't matter which of the flight era modules goes first, they are all optional and totally separate from eachother. Just make sure the separate module parts go in order and yes, you overwrite any files that the installation asks to be overwritten.

It's my other IL2 install Intended for single player use, it's the product of months and months of trial and error, install and testing to give the most stable and interesting mod pack out there. Three scenarios are covered...WW1 (with Gothas and Zeppelins) 30's to WW2 and after including Korea, Vietnam, F4 Phantoms, Tu Bears and F18s. Still moddable, enables me to fly stuff we Dogz don't

+1 Blubear!

Could be Pook, I guess it adds to the story by giving it an uncertain end, just like it was on ops.

Well worth a look http://the-man-shed.com/lancaster-movie-review/ A tribute to bomber crews everywhere, but thinking of my Uncle Phil, lost over Germany in a Stirling, April 1942. Salute to them all.

Good luck, and thanks for what you do at M4T

very good
