Hi Ice, We do play DCS. Right now, the majority of us are flying the MiG-21bis, Mirage 2000C, F-5E and the Gazelle. But we have everything and fly everything. A group of us have also been trying to get a WW2 thing going - especially with the Spit coming out. Definitely join us whenever you're interested! It would be great to fly with you. We normally meet on the JG1 TS around 10PM EST on Fridays. Let me know if you need the addy.

Hi All, Hotlead, Somnus and I are planning to get together tonight (around 10PM EST) to try our hand at ARMA III. If anyone is interested in joining, just meet us on TS.

Very Cool! What an awesome experience!

Hi Michael, welcome! Good luck on your installation and setup. Should you have any questions, we'd be happy to help.

No worries.

I should be around online tonight. Not sure when, but probably after 10:30PM EST. Will look for you.

That's a beautiful aircraft! I definitely have to take a trip to see the museum someday. The collection is amazing!

They have a lot of historically minded songs. For example, Banks of the Sweet Dundee: It's a 19th century ballad, collected off of a schooner in 1877. It's sometimes called Undaunted Mary. Basically, it's about sailor impressment and can be seen as an early form of a "Jody" tale. Except in this case, Mary fights back. The ending is amazing.

S! All, The following JG I pilots are being recognized for their actions during Session 6 of Flanders In Flames XXV (flown on 19 November 2016). Congratulations! . . . Honor Goblet for the Victor in Air Combat Lt. Snaggle Herziger, Jasta 4 (session #6, 19 November 2016), for the destruction of 1 enemy aircraft within one streak. [From his gunner streak]. Honor Goblet for Successful Attacks from the Air Hptm. Manfred Barton, Jasta 4 (session #6, 19 November 2016), for the destruction of 1 enemy ground target within one streak. German Army Report Hptm. Fritz Butzzell, Jasta 11, for gallantry in battle, but also extraordinary fidelity and essential service. [For a good streak]. Sgt. Wilhelm Madvlk, Jasta 6, for gallantry in battle, but also extraordinary fidelity and essential service. [For a good streak].

One of my favorite bands, that I often post videos from. However, this one seemed more pertinent to our boards, due to the subject matter. While the video doesn't give anything away, the song is about the female aviators of the Soviet 588th Night Bomber Regiment. http://fastnbulbous.com/wolf-people-ruins/ Here are the lyrics: I'd fly every night if I could On wings of paper and wood Delivering death wherever I go As graceful and quiet as snow As snow so heavy ceaselessly falls I will bury you all I am Night Witch Night Witch Night Witch Night Witch There's one for the brother I loved And one for the war I'm part of Another to turn this cold blackness to light So I may continue to fight With love and fury as my only spell You're already in hell I am Night Witch Night Witch Night Witch Night Witch

I'd be up for it. When do you normally play?

Hi Trupabow, This is a great idea! Thanks so much for starting it here! I'll pin this topic, so it's easily found. And I'll try and contribute when I can.

I know you guys are trying to sell me on a new HOTAS, but I've had no problems with CH at all. Star Citizen is the very first time. From DCS World to ROF to CLoD, and beyond. The CH stuff I have has always worked exactly as I needed it to. And I've always found the control manager to be robust. The only thing I've ever had to replace was the Pro Pedals. But, after 15 years of stepping on them, they lasted far longer than I expected them to. Maybe in 2017, I'll check out the Warthog stick, throttle and T.Flight Rudder Pedals.

Haha, I didn't want to do it, but you forced my hand:

Speaking of crazy videos, I found this the other day:

Indeed! That's awesome.

Which is really unfortunate, as I swear by mine.

I'm surprised that this is an issue. Especially considering how prevalent CH products are.

I also found this joystick mapper, which I installed. https://github.com/SCToolsfactory/SCJMapper-V2/releases It looks awesome, and is supposed to work. But still no dice yet. I'll try following the instructions that Morph gives. Combining the devices seems like the way to go. Crossing my fingers.

http://sploid.gizmodo.com/slomo-video-reveals-how-ww1-fighters-didnt-shoot-their-1789229609 Thought the slow footage was cool. Though the two hosts annoyed me.

Very nice sorties, Barton. That first fight was a doozy. Excellent job by everyone involved! I love this video series! Can't wait for the next installment.

Yes. Soon after the New Year.

There is an intensity there that tells me that Nutmeg is going to be an outstanding RIO.

That's what I think too. And Happy upcoming Birthday!

Hi All, Because of the observance of Thanksgiving within the United States, no official FIF mission will be run this weekend (Saturday, 26 November). Thanksgiving, within the United States, is a holiday filled with a lot of travelling and family time. So, the loss of our American pilots would really hurt us, and potentially skew the results of a very close and exciting tournament. The official FIF XXV missions will resume on Saturday, 3 December, with Mission #7. I have updated the FIF Team Calendar here: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/4320-fif-xxv-teams/ Should people be interested, we can always run an unofficial dogfight or test on the 26th. Post below if this sounds like a good idea. Additionally, I'd like to take this time to mention our new December schedule! Because of the FIF calendar shift, we're going to hit the December Holidays head-on (e.g. Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years Eve, etc.) As a result, no FIF missions will be flown on Saturday, December 24th or Saturday, December 31st. Should a Mission #10 be necessary, it will be flown on Saturday, 7 January 2017. If there are any concerns, please let me know. Thanks!
