Klaiber

II./JG1 has it's own awards. http://forum.jg1.org/topic/2311-iijg-1-oesau-atag-campaign/ But those awards need an active tournament for them to be earned. Storm of War doesn't count, because it's not a dead-is-dead event. But Ghost Skies will when it restarts.

For anyone who's ever been curious about what exactly a "German Army Report" is supposed to be, it's basically our fictionalized "First World War" version of a Wehrmachtbericht. What's a Wehrmachtbericht? During the Second World War, the German military would send out daily radio reports called Wehrmachtberichte. And these would inform the public about the state of fighting on all fronts. Basically, it's a form of propaganda. So, to have your unit, or your personal name, mentioned in one of these radio reports was considered a high honor. Hence the merit award. Our WW1 "German Army Report" also takes some inspiration from the British MiDs (mentioned in dispatches), which is where your name would be published, and you would receive a small certificate for your gallant or meritorious action. Hence, the image above.

Haha, that's funny.

Great video Hotlead! Wish I could have been there.

Looks great Hardy! Can't wait to try a few of those missions!

What I heard... "The Red Team gets F-16s!" What they meant... "The Red Team gets S-16s!"

Hi Zerfass, that's too bad. But it sounds like you had an amazing trip to the Imperial War Museum, and to Wittmund.

Sure, I'll PM you on this board.

Hi Rifleman, Thanks for checking us out. I'll drop you an email later tonight. Talk more soon!

Haha. I love it because it's art deco, yet flyable. It reminds me of something out of a 1930s Flash Gordon serial. I do wonder about landing, though. Must be impossible to see where you're going before the nose comes down.

It is a thing of beauty though.

S! All, The following JG I pilots are being recognized for their actions during Session 4A of Flanders In Flames XXIIa (which took place on the 3 October 2015). Congratulations! . . .

Great write up, Hardy!

Hi REDMAN, phase 1 of FIF XXII has just ended. But phase 2 starts this Wednesday. You're assigned to the Red Team. Make sure to check their discussions area to get their TeamSpeak.

Hi Freden, The community skin packs can be found here: http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/45373-new-useful-materials-page-official-links/ If you have the time and the space, I'd download both the Historical and Fictional. Hope this helps!

Wags has already posted some updates to the changelog. Check the original link for details: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147601 The big ones for us appear to be: MiG-15bis Available load factor was reduced for some altitude bands, this has made closer to official documents Fixed logic of the ARC-5 NDB switches Fixed stick shake during takeoff View adjustment speed was increased Increased performance reduction with damaged stabilizer Added step throttle control Additionally, they won't be building 32-bit binaries anymore. The users of 32-bit systems will stop getting the updates. Steam users will have to switch to a special 'beta' to keep using 32-bit DCS (locked at 1.2.16).

Yeah, Overwolf is awful. It can cause significant frame rate drops, as well as just be a resource hog in general.
