I have to admit, I am excited about the possibilities. I'll pre-order Bodenplatte and the two aircraft. And I'll start trying to get some stick time in BoX. It does suck that Flying Circus basically means RoF will be abandoned. But, from a development standpoint, it basically is already. I guess it's a de facto / de jure issue. Provided 1C / 777 can give us a clear way forward, I think WW1 can survive in the the Great Battles framework.

S! All, The following JG I pilots are being recognized for their actions during Session A3 of Flanders In Flames 2017 "Fall Campaign" (flown on 11 November 2017). Congratulations! . . .

For me, I've been listening to The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. For those who haven't heard of them, SAHB was an influential band from Scotland. They predate AC/DC by about a year or so, but you can definitely hear how they influenced Bon Scott. The mime guitarist is Zal Cleminson.

Hard to believe we're coming up on 2 years since both Bowie and Lemmy left us. Great cover.

That's a great medley! Some awesome tunes there. Anthem has always been a favorite of mine. As well as Bastille Day and A Passage to Bangkok.

Hi Wilhelm, That's a great photograph! There is a cropped version of it within Above the Lines, by Norman Franks, et al. The description is: It's also on page 103 of The Illustrated Red Baron, by Peter Kilduff. It's also cropped. But here is a photograph (as best as I can do):

Yes, thanks 4Speed!

Hi Wilhelm, It's great to hear from you again! I'm not sure if you remember me, but I flew under you in Jasta 6, circa 2000. I was also one of the people who moved on to create II./JG 1. As Butzzell says, you are more than welcome here. And you have nothing to apologize for. I'll drop you an email today, just to send you the current Dicta. But as Butzzell says, there isn't any need for a membership review. We'll get you squared away in no time! Welcome back!

Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I still have 1.5 through TrackIR. But with these new settings, 2.1 works really well with my Oculus. Had a blast flying around in the MiG-15 last night in an instant mission.

Got it set up in 2.1. Works really well. His settings actually solved a lot of the issues I was having.

Really good info. I'll give this a shot in 2.1.!

JG1's TS works again.

Or about to be.

Hi Oorpii, I'm sorry that I'm just seeing this now. I was AFK for the day. You're now registered to the Blue Team. When you log in to the JG1 forums again, you should see the Blue Team sections of the boards. The Blue Team uses J5's teamspeak. The information is posted in the Blue Team section. However, if you can't find it, just let me know and I'll PM it to you. It's recommended that you arrive to missions about 30 to 15 minutes early. This is so you can get your assignments, as well as the server password. Should you need anything, just let me know. Welcome!

Hi All, As many of you were aware, during the October 21st mission of FIF, we had significant lag issues which forced us to postpone the start of the "Fall Campaign." Butzzell is convinced that it was map related. We may have crossed a line with the total number of airbases and the types of planes available. On Thursday night, a new modified map was stress tested with about 20 people. They popped flares, dropped bombs and shot everything up. It went well. And while some people said they saw a jitter or two, there is nothing to indicate that there will be any issues with using this revised map. As a result, the "Fall Campaign" is going to restart this Saturday, October 28th at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC. We hope to see you there! If anyone has any concerns, just let us know. We're happy to help. See you in the skies over France! -Klaiber

That's extremely impressive. People who are able to create this type of stuff amaze me. Between the carpentry and mechanical knowledge and electronics.

We're a go for this Saturday. The new map was stress tested on Thursday with 20 people, and appears to have taken the load. People mentioned a few small hiccups, but nothing significant. See you this Saturday!

Wow, this is pretty amazing.
