Hope everyone is doing well and flying lots of great missions. I'm still trolling the forums from time to time wishing I had time (and the hardware) to fly. A friend gave me ROF months ago, but alas my 6 year old PC would not even load the splash screen. Best wishes to all of you. Yes, even Labrosse.

Hey all, this is JG1_Kind from the Red Baron 3D days. I flew with KG1 under Kroll. Is that old salt still around? It's good to see you guys are still active and doing things! Best of luck to you, I had a blast with ya back in the day!

This could be me!

One of the instructors over at the school I attend posted this little tidbit for the speedbar on Il-2: 1946. It would be especially helpful with bombing solutions. I posted it here because I think it should be common knowledge.

I know some of you don't like the prank caller once you go over 3,000 meters and I stumbled upon this at the 242 Squadron Forums. Personally, I like it because it reminds me that I'm in control of a "living" pilot, not just me at the computer. http://www.242sqn.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3457

I found this over on the 242 Sqd site. http://www.242sqn.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3423&sid=eaffcabc5e76131884b3452ce5fa19a3 It doesn't give you differential braking, but you can use both toes to activate the brakes. This excerpt is from post #6. It's a good option for those who don't have programmable rudder pedals.

Saw this over on the No. 42 Squadron forums: Very cool video of a Fokker D.VII.

This was posted over at Ghost Skies:

A Fokker D.VIII replica in the colors of 31 victory ace Gotthard Sachsenberg. And an Albatros D.Va replica, in the colors of Hans von Hippel, Jasta 5. S!

This makes Cliff of Dover look like the 12 year old game.

S! This is a really great video. Think quality of Tora, Tora, Tora or Midway. Click here S!

S! All Merry Christmass. New update for RoF is out. Please read the update notes at http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=34468 Be sure to go to the useful materials section and download Skinpack for 1.029 Fictional skinpack vol 13 Hystorical skinpack vol 13 When you start the game after the update you will need to log in. You do not need to register. You will also need to review your graphics settings. Some settings have been deleted. The channel map is listed as quick mission only at this time. Sounds a little strange. Likewise, this map puts a strain on low end computers. It is probably due to the 3D water and waves calculat…

S! All The JG1 server has a practice area set up. It is not a real mission with objectives and winners. This is not a scenery map. It is the north most part of the front. It was made just so you can check your system running this map and practice bombing missions. You can practice water take offs and landings. Each side has a land base and a seaplane base. Just off shore each side has 3 enemy cruisers attacking 3 friendly Submarines. They chase eachother in circles as they attack. Most of the land based bombers are there. HPs and Gothas are air start at 2km. With the big bomb load on the Breuget and DFWCV you can kill a sub. Bigger planes can …

From No.42 Sqn Aerodrome to yours: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The Christmas cease-fire is still in effect, yes?

I'm curious to pick up one of the versions of Silent Hunter; which one is the best in your opinion? I've heard that there was some decline in quality but without any additional guidance, I'll probably just buy the latest one. Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks.

http://il2sturmovik.net/ Q. Will BOS be based on the Digital Nature engine (777 Studios Technology)? A. Yes, the Digital Nature engine and associated technologies will be the basis for BOS, but of course work will be done to make it ready for WWII aircraft and other changes to the code will no doubt occur over time. The engine is an ever evolving piece of software. Q. Why was the Digital Nature engine chosen instead of the CLOD engine? A. The Digital Nature engine is an advanced game engine that has been developed over several years and powers ROF with great results. Besides being relatively bug free and well-functioning, it has advanced physics, realistic…
