S! All, The teams for FIF XXV have been finalized. This information can be found here, within the Tournament Information section. Additionally, I have posted the current registered pilots here. This document will be added to and corrected during the course of the event. Should there be any questions or concerns, just post below, or drop me a PM. Looking forward to flying with you all!

That's awful news Ice! Really sorry to hear this. I hope you're able to get everything repaired quickly.

Hi, you're all set for the Red Team.

Hi Guys, I'm going to assign you to the Blue Team. Blue is starting off as German first. I hope you don't mind. Check the Blue team area for information regarding your team. Blue Team uses the New Wings teamspeak, which you can find here: http://newwingstraining.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=87&sid=063221d74b03cdfbf2917233788c008d Welcome!

All set. Manu, you should now have access to the Blue area.

Hi Manu, My apologies if these are dumb questions. Are you using any form of TrackIR or FreeTrack? Also, are you using the Increase and Decrease Field of View (FOV) feature in the game? I believe Increase FOV is keypad - And Decrease FOV is keypad + If you already use both of these, then it could be a graphical setting. I could always tell you what I'm running ROF at, but it might be different for your set up. Either way, hope this helps!

Awesome! Thanks!

Very cool! I'll check the video out!

Thanks!

So, regarding the RAM, my friend referred me to this PC World article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2982965/components/quad-channel-ram-vs-dual-channel-ram-the-shocking-truth-about-their-performance.html The MB I'm currently thinking of going with is dual channel.

Hi Danudet, Welcome, thanks for checking out our boards! I'll drop you an email tonight. Talk more soon!

Thanks for your thoughts Luft! I'm a sucker for an Optical Drive. I still use discs. Good question about the RAM. I'll check up on that. I've been considering getting a bigger OS SSD. Let me think about that. Regarding a case, I was thinking about getting the MasterCase Maker 5 Mid-Tower Case: https://www.amazon.com/MasterCase-Mid-Tower-FreeForm-Upgraded-Supression/dp/B01ER4898Y/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475784787&sr=1-2&keywords=Master+Case

Hi Guys, With the help of a friend, I've started spec'ing out a new computer. I thought I'd post what we've figure out so far, and see what you all thought. Let me know if I've missed anything, keeping in mind that I'd also be picking up Win10, a new case, and eventually a 27 inch monitor. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! . . .

Some updates! Everyone is asked to meet first on the New Wings TeamSpeak at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC. JG1_Butzzell (with the help of squadron commanders) will briefly organize everyone, and preliminarily divide up teams. If the teams are good, these are the ones that we'll go with for the tournament. The mission will then launch around 2:30PM EDT / 6:30PM UTC. Immediately after the test / orientation mission, they'll be a very brief FIF Admin meeting to discuss last minute changes. Should anyone have any questions, just post below.

Hi Everyone, FIF XXV is almost here! All of the information regarding the new event has been posted on the JG1 forums. And the registrations have opened for anyone who hasn't flown before. Remember, if you have participated in the past, you are STILL registered and signed up. . . . This Saturday, October 8th will be a test / orientation mission. It will kick off at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC. The mission will be run on the JG1 FIF server. The server password (if there is one) will be handed out via teamspeak prior to mission launch. Also, please note that Teams have not yet been finalized! We will be using this upcoming orientation mission to help us determine a better team balance. As a result, please be patient as we figure out where to place everyone. And please try to attend this weekend if you can! The more people we have, the more accurate our team numbers will be! Here is the complete FIF XXV schedule: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/4320-fif-xxv-teams/ The event should officially kick off on Saturday, October 15th, and will run into December. . . . Regarding TeamSpeak: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/3955-fif-teamspeak-servers/ The Red Team is currently hosted by JG1. The Blue Team is currently hosted by New Wings. The Unofficial public ROF Teamspeak 3 Server is always used as a back up for both teams. . . . Hope to see you all there!

Hi Forest, Welcome! Thanks for checking us out. I'll drop you an email later today.

Amazing pictures Lee! Makes me wish Virginia was closer!

This is really awful news, Luft... I didn't know Osten very well, but I definitely remember talking with him on TeamSpeak. Both about FIF and ROF in general. He was a great guy, who I always enjoyed flying with. Please let me know if the Black Haze plan on doing anything to eulogize him. JG1 would be more than happy to help plan or coordinate any memorial event. A missing man formation, for example, would be a great tribute. And I hope that someone is in contact Osten's family. They should know how much he meant to all of us. My prayers and heartfelt condolences.

Hi Manu, You're still all set for the Red Team.

Awesome!

Velt! Great to hear from you man! How have you been? I'll drop you an email tonight. Looking forward to catching up.

Great news!

I'm glad you got it working Drucker! We should be online Tuesday and Thursday to fly some CloD.

That's pretty good. I've never heard of them before, but I like it.

Oh, good point!
