For your amusement: Yes, AI is scary.

It sometimes works for me. Sometimes doesn't.

Hi @Vongrube, Welcome! My apologies for the delayed response. Thanks for checking out our squadron. I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking to you more soon.

I'm excited to check this out. I'm also wondering if they fixed the Switch Condition in the Mission Editor. It was half working / half not working for me.

Based on information I had seen from @Vonrd, I don't think there will be a dry-run. I believe it just starts on 11 May. However, Vonrd, @Kliegmann or @Moxy would be the best to ask.

All, If you're interested in the upcoming ACME: Aces Over the Crimea campaign, stop by the ACME Discord and make sure to register! https://discord.gg/xz2fG8Uy The ACME: ACES OVER CRIMEA event will be run on Saturday, 11 May 2024 / Saturday, 18 May 2024 / Saturday 25 May 2024 / Saturday, 1 June 2024. Combat starts at 1800 UTC. This IL-2 WW2 event is strictly player vs. player with the exceptions of AI supply columns, trains, ships, and the static defenses at the capture points. Event comms will be on the Ad Astra Discord server: https://discord.gg/Swce7jD2Kp Post below with any questions.

I would love to make it our main training map, as it's closer to home for the historical JG-1 Fritz Schmenkel.

On their Discord, Razbam is still saying that they want a quick resolution. They also said they don't want to hurt ED or DCS, as they're Razbam's primary business partner. So, I'm still hopeful they'll figure things out. But of course, it's hard to know what is actually going on.

Thanks, just downloaded it.

Great pictures, @Jaus!

Thanks for the heads up!

A new DCS update dropped - DCS 2.9.4.53549. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.9.4.53549/ Within the patch notes: CTD with new Oculus/Meta Quest 2/3 v63 software - fixed.

I'll double check my own version.

That's wild. Now I have to practice it.

I'm still on v62. Not sure if I should allow the update.

All, We're proud to announce a new collaboration with the IRFC and Syndicate squadrons: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/88061-ad-astra-server/ Let the dogfights begin! . . . Fellow sim pilots, Today is the day that we've been looking forward to sharing with you all for several months. Admittedly, the Ad Astra camp has fallen silent in recent weeks. This silence is because we have been planning a major restructure that will fundamentally shift the composition and goal of the Ad Astra project. Today, Ad Astra ceases to be produced by one squadron. It becomes a true sim collective comprised of the Imperial Royal Flying Corps (IRFC), Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG1), and Syndicate Squadron (SYN). These three squadrons all have rich histories in the sim flying community. IRFC was founded in 2010 and provided "IRFC Bomber Nights" to the fledgling Rise of Flight community; after an 11-year hiatus from server hosting, they founded Ad Astra in mid-2023. JG1 was founded in 1992 as part of the Red Baron online community; in the following decades, they have been pillars of the WWI flying community as producers of the Flanders in Flames campaign. The Syndicate was founded in 2006 and, as producers of the "Sunday Vintage Mission" series, nearly single-handedly kept the Rise of Flight multiplayer community alive for three years. These three squadrons will be teaming up to deliver you the first multi-era server in IL2 multiplayer history. Moreover, we hope to provide a WWI experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWII aviation community while delivering a WWII experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWI community. We will focus our WWII experience on the first aerial battles of the Second World War. To start, we will deliver the Battle of Britain; the Battles of France and Belgium will follow this. A typical week in the Ad Astra server rotation will look like this: Mondays WWI Rotation Maps Tuesdays "Aces Rising" - WWI Community Event Wednesdays WWII Rotation Maps Thursdays "Aces Falling" - WWII Community Event Fridays "Bomber Nights" - WWI Community Event Saturdays Periodical, Organized Campaign Nights on Ad Astra Sundays "The Sunday Roast" - WWII Community Event Stay tuned for more updates! We appreciate your patience as we strive to deliver this new, exciting gameplay experience. ~The Ad Astra Team https://discord.gg/Swce7jD2Kp

That's an incredible amount of skill! Now I want to fly some helos.

I think RAZBAM was hoping for leverage over ED in their contract dispute, which is why RAZBAM aired the dirty laundry in public. If the consumers (us) got angry enough at ED on RAZBAM's behalf, we could collectively apply the pressure needed to finalize things in RAZBAM's favor. But of course, once you bring stuff to the court of public opinion, it gets hard to control the narrative. Just head to Reddit or more open forums to see how out of control the discussions have gotten in the last few days. As a result, RAZBAM has already posted messages on their Discord trying to reign the message back. In case the twitter link is removed at some point, razbam_prowler (Ron Zambrano) says: As I've mentioned to @Britchot and @Karl Spackler (Trev), trying not to escalate after taking the nuclear option is kind of like screaming "won't someone think of the children!" while simultaneously throwing them on the freeway.

Agreed

Can't wait to read it!

@Snaggle - how long did it take you, btw?

That looks like it was a ton of fun to put together! Now you have to work on the rest of the Task Force.

Where is this survey from?
