I'll changed the description in the tournament information section.

Hi Bandy, The plane-set is something that is still being worked on. What is currently posted may not be what we finally use. This was one of the reasons why we wanted a server test and a dry-run. Since the main focus of FIF XXIV has been to both use the float planes and do something new, we're attempting to stay true to that within the current limitations of the game. Something that should be considered in all FIF plane-set discussions is that there is no longer an Entente team or a Central team. As Blue and Red, both teams will need to fly both sets of aircraft. As a result, we're attempting to approach this issue as bias-free as possible. If the current Entente scout aircraft were maintained just the way they are (Nieuport 28 / HD1 / HD2 / Spad 7 180 hp), what Central planes do you feel offer the best competition? Another question for you - if we removed the Entente scout weapon mod restrictions, but left the Central weapon mods restrictions in place, would that do anything to address your concerns? Thanks for your thoughts!

Nice video!

Hi Flashy, You're all set for the Blue Team. As I mentioned to Ivan, make sure to get the TS information from the Blue section of the boards. Looking forward to flying with you!

Hi Ivan, You're all set for the Blue Team. Make sure to get the TS information in the Blue section, after you log in to the forums. Welcome!

Hi Sherman, You're all set for the Red Team. Welcome!

Great to hear!

The test should be at 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC. Both teams will be meeting on their TS servers before launch.

Cool, thanks Kojack! Much appreciated. Btw: I removed your email address so you don't get spam. I'll drop you an email soon.

I've been attempting to record JG1's history. Specifically, who was in command at what time. It's a project that I began years ago. But as time has passed, the available records have become harder to come by. Do you mind if I send you the Excel file? If you had any additional information or dates, I'd be very appreciative. I have the broad strokes, but there are of course gaps. Let me know.

That was the Jasta you were in, right? Jasta 6, I mean. When I first joined JG1 in 2001, that was the Jasta that I was assigned to as well. Have a lot of good memories of flying with Moritz, Wolfgang von Welhausen and Graser. Btw: I just thought of something - when you mentioned Wolfgang earlier, did you mean von Jager?

Welcome to the airfield of Jagdgeschwader 1! JG1 a serious-minded online cyber squadron. We are an international group with a solid North American and European contingent. JG1 has a long and distinguished history online and can trace its origins to March 1992 and Red Baron Online. Currently JG1 is focused on the following flight simulation games: Flying Circus and Rise of Flight (as Jagdgeschwader Nr. I "Richthofen", which includes Jasta 11, Jasta 10, Jasta 6 and Jasta 4) IL-2: Great Battles and IL-2: Cliffs of Dover (as Jadgeschwader 1 "Oesau", which includes I./JG 1, II./JG 1 and III./JG 1) DCS World (as Jagdfliegergeschwader 1 "Fritz Schmenkel") If you are interested in joining JG1, please login to our forums, and start a new thread within the JG1 Recruitment section. Your new thread should have the following information: What is your Timezone? Do you have a joystick or HOTAS? Do you have TeamSpeak and Discord installed, as well as a working microphone? Do you have VR, TrackIR, or a FreeTrack system for view control? What sims are you currently flying? How did you hear about JG1? Is there anything else that you'd like us to know? Thanks in advance for the interest! Looking forward to talking with you soon.

Crossing my fingers for you.

Hi Kojack, The sims have changed, but we are the same JG1 from Red Baron II. Moritz retired in the early 2000s, as did Kroll and Wolfgang. vonLeep came back active for a while, before eventually retiring circa 2007. However, there are still a few of the old guard around. Butzzell, Wurger and Lowengrin are still active in the community. And RivRat and Degelow float through every once in a while. JG1 is actually 24 this year! Old enough to still get in trouble, but perhaps wise enough to regret it the next morning. If you fly Rise of Flight, IL-2: Cliffs of Dover, IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad, or DCS World, you should join us online sometime. You're more than welcome. Let me know, and I'll send you our TS information.

Hi Jocassee, You're all set for the Red Team. Make sure to check out the Red Team area when you log in again. The TS information should be there. Let me know if you have any problems. Welcome!

Yup, you're already signed up for the Blue Team. Welcome back!

Hi Wynand, You're all set for the Blue Team. Make sure to check the Blue section for the TeamSpeak information used during the event. More information regarding the tests and dry-runs should be posted soon. Welcome!

I think so.

Wow, a WW1-themed Battlefield game? Count me in!

What type of stick do you have?

Great pictures Somnus! I would love to check out a MiG-21 cockpit, now that I'm familiar with the one in DCS. I've seen them before in the past, but that was way before I knew what I was looking at. Love the picture of the Me 262 and the MiG-15's machine-guns and cannon! I see what you mean about Snoopy. If you're going to have him in the cockpit, at least get a better stuffed animal.

Hi Raker, You're all set for the Blue Team. Welcome!

Hi Zajcek, Thanks! He's all set. If he registers to the forums, just let me know and I'll give him access to the Red Team.
