Public Discussion

Those of us running servers for IL2, @Moxy, @Kliegmann, @Wittmann. Be aware that there was an update for IL2 today and the servers will likely need updating as well.

This event is strictly player vs. player (with minor exceptions in AI supply columns, trains, ships and AI guns / tanks at capture points. The guns / tanks are not mobile). The success of this event is highly dependent on player participation. Last Saturday's dry run attendance was low, therefore for maximin team play, it will require your attendance. Especially tankers. Registration is encouraged, for team balance, but all are welcome and will be included. There have not been many events well attended recently in IL2 Great Battles (with the possible exception of JG5s Black September) and there are discussions in the community that online events are curre…

@Ludwig will enjoy this as Duke Cummingham is front and center.... FYI: LT Norm Walker (guy with mustache in the ready room), was the reason I choose the more laid back life of a helicopter pilot. Way too much ego. 😆

The Aces over Crimea dry run is tomorrow 10/21/23 at 2pm Eastern. Server goes live 1:45pm Eastern

I was at a supermarket for shopping today and noticed smoke trails over San Francisco. It was the Blue Angels performing for our local fleet week. Of course, I was mesmerized and watched from the balcony which had an excellent view. The performance box was about 12 miles away. What really struck me was the intensity of the canopy glints (it might also have been reflections on the gloss paint scheme that the Blues have). It was like high intensity strobelights going off. None of the sims that we fly reflect this as far as I know. Cliffs of Dover did to some extent. I've flown in RL for many years but never really pay'd attention to this phenomena and can't remember anythin…

In case anyone isn't aware I'm posting this here in our forum. This has also been posted numerous places. See it here at the IL2 Sturmovik Great Battles forum: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/85881-jg1-is-proud-to-present-the-next-acme-event-aces-over-crimea/ All JG1 members are highly encouraged to participate, if able and interested but participation is in no way mandatory.

Hello guy's just thought I would pop in and say sorry for losing the stats you earned over the past while. I had some serious issues with the server and ended up replacing it with a new much more power full unit. Everything is back up to snuff and hope you will enjoy some better quality practice time there. WWBiker_

Salute guys! J5 is starting this year's Black September campaign soon, so I thought I'd extend an invite to join the fun. We'll be running some unique planesets, including the new early-war birds from FC3. If anyone's interested, you can find out more here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/85434-black-september-viii-campaign-–-september-during-the-great-war/ On another note, how have you guys been? Haven't touched base in a bit and wanted to say hi. 🙂

A sensational title, but an interesting video. I'd be curious what people think:

I saw this in our Discord in Schmenkel #cw-notams. A Google search seems to have the consensus that it's perfectly fine to do this. I'm going to give it a shot. Enigma's Server #server-announcementsSERVER — Today at 11:46 AM Disclaimer: We aren't liable if this breaks your shit. So do this at your own risk. Someone on our discord posted this fix and a few of us tried it out and it greatly increased performance in DCS. I am just posting this out for visibility so people can see if this works. We are just one server and if this fix helps you then word will get out to help the other players across the game in all the other servers. Deleting the files loca…

Was going through some old files and had the covers of these clipped

Any JG1 or members of this board in this area ? Here for bus until Thu

I thought the group might be interested in a new Canadian $1 coin that's just been issued, honouring the world's first female aeronautical engineer: https://canadiancoinnews.com/queen-of-the-hurricanes-elsie-macgill-on-new-commemorative-1/ S! Maus

Just giving everyone a heads up that Google is planning on going on a purge of inactive accounts at the end of the year... Wheels

Saw this on Facebook, and thought it might amuse! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Pbq8BoYru9NX3JUiVFSRqm63Gq4gv7kmRmnvPTd1vobJ9r6aKtDhcYxPtsAF62wNl&id=100066554380124&mibextid=Nif5oz

Ok so I had to share this because it was super cute and fun. Our nonprofit did a special “Where’s Romeo?” event where we took our mini Romeo to Tractor Supply. The winner who found him first and said the code word Popsicle got a gift certificate from the manager.

Any clue about the DCS update? I actually thought I had a few spare minutes.... got torpedoed by an update
