Here's a link that talks about some of the features and the testing process that went into the Auto-GCAS system. Regards, 4 <S!>

Yes, there is/was definitely some sort of issue with AK numbers in the J99 stats. I PM'd Hardy about it Monday (I had a sortie link where I shot down an SE5a) for him to review, so he should be aware that there's a problem. As to what that problem may be, and what the fix would be, that will have to be something for Hardy to figure out -- there are any number of possibilities, not least of which could be an out-of-date objects database, or some other sort of problem with their repaired server, or SQL. Hopefully, he'll figure it out and pass on an update. Regards, 4 <S!>

That's correct - you're allowed to fly again, if you safely land in "your" territory, or at one of your airports. It's only if you die, or if you land in enemy territory (ie. are captured) that you are relegated to gunner duty. Keep in mind there is a 5 minute delay before you can takeoff (as pilot) in another plane, even when you land successfully at your aerodrome, though. In fact, that should probably mentioned as a general reminder, as it seems that a number of folks seem to be forgetting that little wrinkle (assuming I'm reading the logs properly). Regards, 4 <S!>

Congrats to Red Team! Great job guys! Also, kudos to my fellow Blues for hanging in there -- Great Fighting Spirit! Cheers, 4 <S!> PS> Looking forward to Round 2

This sounds very strange to me -- does someone have documented proof of this? Not that I'm doubting anyone here, but I know on our Tuesday Night Fly-In sessions, several folks record many of the "events" and I've never noticed any performance issues, that I could trace to the recordings specifically. To be sure, there are usually only a dozen people in that mission, rather than the 40-50 we're seeing in FiF, but this is the first I've even heard about any recording issue. If someone has links to posts about this on 777's forum, I'd be interested on reading up on it. I agree with Klaiber and I'm very glad you're documenting the campaign, Hardy -- your AAR's have been very entertaining to read, and your English is excellent. If you wouldn't mind, I will offer two, very minor, corrections for your consideration. 1. Use "safe" instead of "save" --- "After my plane's engine failed, I managed to make a safe landing in a farmer's field". 2. The engine cutout switch is a blip switch, rather than a blib switch. That said, the meaning in your AAR was very clearly understood, and rest assured, your English is better than several "native speakers" I have encountered over the years. Please keep up the excellent work! Regards, 4 <S!>

I flew on the Blue Team in the prior FiF - so I'm not sure if I need to re-register or not? In any case, here's my info: Name: FourSpeed Squadron: New Wings - newwingstraining.com Preferred side: Either Timezone: MST (no daylight savings time) -- GMT - 7 Still only available for Saturday sessions... Cheers, 4 <S!>

Name: FourSpeed Squadron: New Wings - newwingstraining.com Preferred side: Either Timezone: MST (no daylight savings time) -- GMT - 7 My ability to attend will be limited unfortunately. I cannot participate on Wednesdays at all (other commitments), and only some Saturdays. I'll be happy to fill in on whichever side has a spot on those occasions when I can attend. Regards, 4 <S!>
