Congrats all! I echo Luft's thoughts. We are getting better! However, I try to remind myself: There is always room to improve. That's one aspect of FiF I like. Good streaks all! But here's to bigger and better ones in the future!

Hey guys! We flew again this afternoon! Cloaked Careful found an extra joystick, so he was back in business! We had a blast, but the highlight for me was a 15 minute dogfight with a very competent N.17 pilot. You can find both halves of our May 28 stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/147892592 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/147900347 Here also is the highlight of the dogfight I had: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/147937900 We will be flying again on June 11th!

Horrido! Nice work and great photos J6!

Congrats gentlemen!

Thought you guys might find this interesting: http://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/first-world-war-replica-bi-plane-squadron-to-fly-coast-to-coast-1.3424580 Maybe some of our Canadian members will actually see these guys!

+1!

Lol!

Beautiful planes Lee! Thanks for sharing!

Salute guys! As some of you know, my brothers and I are working on a short film set during the American Civil War. We just started a Facebook page for our film company where we will be posting monthly video updates (plus other content) as we progress on our film. If you'd be interested in following us and seeing what we're up to, you can find our page here: https://www.facebook.com/RookieAceProductions/ - Hotlead

Hey guys! We flew again last Sunday. Unfortunately, Cloaked Careful's joystick conked out and he was unable to fly. We hope to have him airborne once more by our next streaming date. Anyway, you can see our May 14th stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/143649567 We will be flying again on May 28th!

Welcome Mardock! Our command staff should be along soon to issue a formal welcome and get in touch with you. Of the sims you mentioned, JG1 is currently active in Rise of Flight. Our European group has been active in Battle of Stalingrad for some time now. Our North American groups are also working to become more involved with Battle of Stalingrad, although some of us (read: me ) are still relatively new to it.

Lol funny! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Barton!

Lol thanks Luft!

Hey guys! We flew again this evening. You can see the video archived here. Although we did our customary foolin' around, Cloaked Careful and myself had some more "professional" flights where we sought to improve our communication and utilize team tactics. Flea however, really could care less I think. His main focus is about is bringing the most damage to the enemy - the more outlandish the weapon used, the better! Survival is, ah...secondary. We're still working on him lol. I also worked to up the game volume so it would be easier to hear their voices. We should be flying again on May 14th!

Indeed! Well deserved!

Wow! This might be the look of the future.

I've been liking these 2 songs by Switchfoot a lot lately:

Thanks for the kind words guys! We did our first live stream this evening. You can see it here as an archived video. What are your guys' thoughts on it as far as production goes? I could tell I needed to fiddle with a few settings as my microphone would sometimes cut off the beginning of my words. Also, I think the loading screen might have lasted a little too long before the stream actually started. Would you guys also like to see a webcam on me in my streams or would you prefer not to? Anyway, we had a blast today. We should be flying again on April 30th.

Thanks guys! Regarding our schedule, I forgot that next Sunday is Easter Sunday. We won't be able to stream then. Therefore, we are going to try for tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 7pm. I've also updated the original post and will update my Twitch page when I get home.

Salute gents! In recent discussions on the ROF forums, a few people have suggested that live streaming would be a good way to promote ROF...so I am now pleased to present "JG1_Hotlead's Three-Ring Circus!" Every other Sunday evening, I take my younger brother (Furious Flea) and younger cousin (Cloaked Careful) onto NFF for 45-60 minutes and we almost always end up having a blast. We've talked, and we've decided to start streaming our fortnightly adventures on Twitch! I've been working at test streaming and getting my Twitch channel set up the way I want it. You can see it here: https://www.twitch.tv/jg1_hotlead The astute observer will observe that I "borrowed" certain concepts from JG1_Britchot's professional-looking channel, like the topic cards in my bio. Why try to improve on something that looks great already? BTW, his channel is really worth a look if you are interested in Elite Dangerous. You can see it here: https://www.twitch.tv/britchot We will officially start streaming tomorrow at 7pm Central. (We usually fly on alternate Sundays around 5pm, but since this upcoming Sunday is Easter Sunday, our schedule will be a little off. ) If you can't make it, no worries! Our broadcasts are archived for 14 days in our "videos" tab. If you would like to be alerted when we go live on Twitch, feel free to give us a "follow" there! Salute! - HotleadColdfeet PS: While we are on the subject of Twitch streaming for ROF, here are two streamers (past and present) who have some really good content: 1) Hellbender. Although he's been inactive for a while now, his highlights are a riot to watch! Thanks for putting these out there, Bender! https://www.twitch.tv/hbndr/videos/all 2) Warhawk1947. For a while now, he's been livestreaming a permadeath singleplayer campaign in PWCG. His current pilot serves in the Eastern Front and has 47 missions flown with 20 air victories. Worth a watch when he's online! https://www.twitch.tv/warhawk1947

Holy smokes! That certainly was a lucky break! Like Klai said...terrifying! I don't know how many times I've been in a similar situation in ROF and wished I could bail out...I've tried flapping my arms really fast but it hasn't worked yet.

Awesome flying! When was this Fly In?

Congrats all! Well done!

Same to you Barton! Here's to good luck on your next streak!
