See you Saturday! -
Helpful information regarding Refly rules
Klaiber replied to Klaiber's topic in FIF Rules Questions Archive
They used to pop up. But maybe they don't anymore. It's been a while since I've been able to fly RoF. -
Q on "Secondary Targets" and "Targets of Opportunity"
Klaiber replied to Etzel's topic in FIF Rules Questions Archive
Hi Etzel, Exactly. Secondary Targets are those that are activated after Primaries have been completed. And in the case of "targets of opportunity" that any aircraft can bomb or strafe, we're talking specifically about stationary vehicles or stationary ships... http://forum.jg1.org/topic/5232-fif-2017-fall-campaign-objectives/?do=findComment&comment=32868 ...and moving targets of opportunity... http://forum.jg1.org/topic/5232-fif-2017-fall-campaign-objectives/?do=findComment&comment=32871 ...and anything that says it's open to all aircraft to attack, like the HQ attack: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/5232-fif-2017-fall-campaign-objectives/?do=findComment&comment=32870 Any aircraft can bomb or strafe these targets of opportunity. It doesn't have to be attacked by the same person who triggered it. Attacking these targets will give your team points. So you want to make sure to knock out as many as possible. I may have forgotten something here, but I'm running out the door. Let me know if I've missed something. -
Helpful information regarding Refly rules
Klaiber replied to Klaiber's topic in FIF Rules Questions Archive
Hi Etzel, The Rise of Flight game will not allow us to inforce an in-game refly penalty. As a result, pilots are asked to act in good faith and manually take 5 minutes. If you land or crash in Friendly territory, take 5. If you disco (regardless of where you were), take 5. I often fly with my iPhone near me, and use the stop watch to make sure I'm taking enough time. After each mission night, I'll go through the statistics in order to prepare the scores. When I do this, I'll always go through stats and check refly times. If I catch someone abusing the refly times, I'll contact them directly and ask them not to do this. FIF is based on trust and good will, so I take this type of rules violation seriously. Regarding your question on Friendly Territory or Enemy Territory, the server knows if you're captured. It will usually tell you in the Chat window. And in the in-game statistics. And it will show up on the server stats page. For example, Butzzell in this sortie is listed as "crashed captured". http://fif.jg1.org/sortie/15920/ If you land in Friendly Territory, and you're no where near No Man's Land, there is no reason to take a screenshot. You know you're okay. And if you land in Enemy Territory, and you're no where near No Man's Land, there is also no reason to take a screenshot. You know you're a POW. The game will not kick you, nor will it prevent you from reflying. You must manually remove yourself from the game. Or, become a tail-gunner. Again, I check the stats, and will catch anyone who reflies after death. Only take a screenshot of the in-game map if you land near or on No Man's Land. And again, only do this if you're not sure of your fate. Then tell your Flight Lead or Team Commander as soon as possible. And ask for instructions. Hope this helps! -
Hi Etzel, The Odd Map is flown during odd mission weeks (i.e. Week A1, Week A3, Week B1, and Week B3). And the Even Map is flown on even mission weeks (i.e. Week A2, Week A4, Week B2 and Week B4). You can see this progression in the Fall Campaign's schedule. Hope this helps!

Hi Bardamu, You're still registered on the Blue Team. Looking forward to seeing you in the air on Saturday. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help.

Hi Etzel, You're all set for the Red Team. When you refresh or login next, you should see the Red Team area. The Red Team uses JG1's TeamSpeak. Make sure to jump on around 15 minutes prior to mission start in order to get the server password, as well as get mission assignments and the like. Looking forward to flying with you!

Hi Nader, You should be set for the Blue Team. Let me know if you have any access problems.

Thanks Cuban! -
Hi Oliver_88, You're all set for the Blue Team. You should now have access to their area. When you log in next, you should see the Blue Team area on the forums. The Blue Team uses Jasta 5's TeamSpeak. Session passwords are passed out via TS (about 15 minutes before wheels-up), so make sure to get your connections squared away before next Saturday. Looking forward to flying with you! If you have any questions, just let me know!

Hi Raz, I'll drop you an email tonight. Welcome!

Looking forward to this!

One of my favorite all time artists, Mike Oldfield. These are during his pop phase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zzaZxOrpjc Five Miles Out (the second song) may be of interest to you guys, as it's about a near tragic airplane flight that Oldfield was a passenger on, in which an inexperienced pilot flew a small craft directly into a violent storm. Here is a link to the lyrics, as they're hard to make out in the song: https://tubular.net/lyrics/FiveMilesOut.shtml#4

Never heard of UnSun before. They're pretty good. Sad to see they broke up in 2016.

Those are awesome choices Vonrd! Superfreak by Scaggs and Hornsby is awesome. And I would have never thought that Haim would be a fan of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Honestly, Peter Green is one of my all time favorites, so it's great to see him get some love.

Hey Trev, This is for you: Someone in the audience requests Steve Vai, so he fakes it.
-
Nice! Great cover!

Back to Black is the song that I always associate with Amy Winehouse. It's easily my favorite from her. Such a talent. July Talk is great. Beck + Call is very cool song. I've never heard them before.

Very nice! I've never heard his music before. I really like it!

Very cool. Will have to check this out.
