Looking closer, I'm realizing this is the production that Butzzell mentioned back in May of last year: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/4987-french-documentary-ww-i-aces/?p=30469 Glad to see they finally released it!

Cool, I'll have to check this out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi Valkyrie, No worries. So, no tomorrow (March 22nd). But you'll be available Thursday, March 29th. I'll let Moxy, Vonrd and Klieg know.

Hi Todt, The TS password is the same. It could have been a service hiccup. If you have any further problems, just let us know.

Hey Goat, You're already signed up with the rest of JG1.

Etzel and Sturtz are correct. They're yelling Abschuss. Here is a list of other Luftwaffe slang that people have compiled, with a few links inside: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=26918

Yeah, I've found a lot of stuff in here that I've never heard of, but really like.

S! All, The following JG I pilots are being recognized for their actions during Session B4 of Flanders In Flames 2018 "Winter Campaign" (flown on 10 March 2018). Congratulations! . . .

That's awesome.

Hi Hund, It was great talking to you earlier today. I'll send you an email to the one you used to register. Looking forward to talking with you soon!

Found them: Both are really good! I'm to see if I can pick some stuff up by Luc Arbogast. Funny enough, I recognize Lieder der Freiheit! But not this version of it. It's "To France" by Mike Oldfield!

Unfortunately, the uploader hasn't made the videos available in the US. I'll see if I can find them in other videos.

I deleted the previous skins, and reinstalled. Not the best course of action, but it worked.

Just saw. Looks like I'm on the hunt for a cheap game.

Thanks Vonrd, all fixed.

Hi Shadepiece, thanks for formally filling this out! I'll send you an email today.

Thanks for sharing Hotlead! I think it's awesome that you wrote on the First World War pilots.

The Flanders In Flames “Winter Campaign” has now come to an end! We had some outstanding air battles and engagements. And we're extremely excited to see so many people having a good time while competing in this event! Normally, at this point, I’d be talking about celebrating the conclusion, and perhaps hinting at the FIF 2018 Spring Campaign. However, I want to use this moment to talk about something more serious. A pilot on the Red Team contacted Butzzell and I, admitting that he was in possession of and had tested a hack on the FIF server during an official FIF Winter Campaign session. This pilot said that his intent was not to cheat, but to test the hack on a closed tournament environment. The pilot then agreed to whatever punishment we felt he deserved. Using a hack in FIF is considered cheating, regardless of intent. So, in accordance with our rules regarding fair play, this pilot was dealt with. After his initial punishment, he was told that a second offense would result in a more severe punishment, which could include a permaban. It’s important to note that this incident happened before the March 4th joint server-host agreement, posted on the ROF forums by J5_Baeumer. And thus, this happened before any real sharing of information between server hosts had happened. Moving forward, I would like to state that FIF (and JG1) unequivocally and completely supports the March 4th agreement. We are committed to it and will do everything in our power to ensure that cheating in ROF is never tolerated. Had the offending pilot used the hack post-March 4th, at minimum he would face an 8 to 16 week ban from active tournament play, as well as a one month ban on all other participating servers. Looking at the scores from the last 8 weeks of tournament play, the Red Team would have won the Winter Campaign based on points. However, I cannot in good conscience award the win to the Red Team. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, using hacks or cheats is not tolerated, and I will not reward it, even if that means an entire team loses out because of the actions of an individual. And please note, that a hack of the game is not the same thing as a weapons mod violation or a second pilot life after a capture or death. Those are usually unintentional violations, whereas using a hack is decidedly intention and totally unacceptable. Secondly, JG1 (the host squadron of FIF) is on the Red Team, and I will not have my squadron profit off the back of a hack or cheat. Please help me congratulate the Blue Team on their victory! I wish this was a more joyous celebration, but bittersweet seems to be the overall tone right now within the ROF community. The Blue Team’s teamwork and coordination were great, and I can’t wait to compete against them in the next campaign. Here is the FIF campaign ribbon for the 2018 Winter Campaign: Large version: Small version: As always, thank you to every pilot who flew in this event. Without your continued support, this tournament would not be able to function. The scores for Session B4 are shown below: . . .

Once Bloody April has ended, I'll send out messages regarding the timetable.

Fantastic news!

Thanks Vonrd!

Hi Hells Angel, The last mission for this current Phase of FIF has just ended. We're going to take a few months off. But! We should be back after the Bloody April event, hosted by Jasta 5. I'll sign you up to the Red Team. You should now have access to the Red Team's area on these boards. The Red Team meets on JG1's TeamSpeak. You'll find this address in the Red Team area. On mission days, we recommend that everyone arrive about 15 to 20 minutes early. The server password is passed out via TeamSpeak. Before the next Phase begins, there may be a few test missions flown. This will be an excellent opportunity to test the waters before everything goes live. Look for us in mid-May! In the meantime, keep checking back.

Thanks Cuban!

Cool! So, my monitor isn't too bad. But still pretty bad.

BoX is: Battle of Stalingrad / Moscow / Kuban / Bodenplatte, etc. https://il2sturmovik.com/ People also tend to call it IL-2: Battles.
