S! All, Tomorrow (Wednesday, August 6th) will be the dry-run for the FIF XIX tournament. As of this post, the dry-run will take place on the No.42 server, which should be locked. The server password will be distributed before the server launches. This will happen via TeamSpeak. If you're new to FIF, please make sure you get your team's TeamSpeak information! The server launch will be at 8:45PM EDT. However, the dry-run will not officially start until 9:00PM EDT. The dry-run will not be dead-is-dead, and captures will not be enforced. However, all other tournament rules should be followed! http://forum.jg1.org/index.php?showforum=73 This means no weapons mods, with the exception of the twin rear-guns for the two-seaters. It also means that no aircraft should take off until they see the "green flare" over their aerodrome at around 9:00PM EDT. Should anyone have any questions, post below. I'll be sending this message out as a bulk mail via the JG1 forums. Thanks!

Hi Mueller, You guys are all set.

Great job Lee! VO101_Tom is going to add the strakes because of your observation. http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12049&page=2&p=133137&viewfull=1#post133137

This is great information Lee! I wonder if Team Fusion is aware of the anti-spin strakes, as it relates to the bomb loads. I'll post over on their boards and mention it.

I'm so glad that Team Fusion has kept up with modding Cliffs.

All set Loopy.

All set guys. Welcome!

Welcome! All set.

S! All, Thanks for helping to make last Wednesday's test mission very successful. As of this post, we're still on track to start on Wednesday, August 13th. To all newly arriving pilots - once you get access to either the Central or Entente sections, make sure to find (or ask for) your team's TeamSpeak information. This will be very important! Should anyone have any questions, please post below.

Excellent! You're all set. You may need to hit refresh if you're still logged in. The Central TS is in the central area.

Hi Cuban, you're all set for the Entente. Welcome!

You're good.

That's awesome Greim! I saw her and the Liberty Belle once at Hartford-Brainard Airport. But that was a long time ago. Definitely take pictures so we can live vicariously.

All set, OttoBert. If you're still logged in, you may need to hit refresh. Welcome!

S! All, We'll be on the JG1 server tonight (July 30th) around 9PM EDT, testing out the map. Join us if you can! -Klaiber

Regarding the skin pack, just saw this from Jason Williams: http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?p=608467&f=2#p608467

I *think* the Hanriot HD.1 was just released. Or, it's about to be released. http://riseofflight.com/en/store/planes/Hanriot_HD1 I can't tell, as I'm at work. But after today's ROF maintenance, the store picture went from a silhouette to color. It's also got a weapon mod and a field mod. I guess we'll find out the future of Rise of Flight pretty soon.

They are. Japan declared war on Germany after Germany refused to give up it's Asian territories to China: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_I#Japan

100 years ago today, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, after rejecting Serbia's conditional acceptance of the July Ultimatum. This is often called the official start of the First World War, though Germany wouldn't declare war on Russia until 1 August. I thought I'd post these composite photos from London. 1914 and 2014: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2707568/First-World-War-photos-soldiers-marching-streets-superimposed-modern-day-images.html

I agree Pragr. Prior to the announcement of the Fw 190D-9 and DCS WW2, that was my major problem with the P-51D. Beautifully done, but nothing to do with it. After thinking about it, and hearing everyone else's plans, I think I'm going to wait and see.

S! All, As of this post, we're looking to have a dry run of FIF XIX on Wednesday, August 6th @ 8:45PM EDT. Our hope is to have a full start of the tournament on Wednesday, August 13th @ 8:45PM EDT. Just a reminder - in order to get Central or Entente access, you must officially sign up for Flanders In Flames in one of the two areas provided: Central Powers Entente Powers Not signing up means you cannot fly in the event.

I'm really thinking of picking the F-86 up. This, and the Dora and MiG-21bis.

Cool! Are you going to pick it up?
