http://www.jg1.org/tabid/117/g/posts/t/76/JG-1-TeamSpeak.aspx S! Stachl, Let me know if you can't access this thread.

I can't get my avatar to work either. I "think" you need to go to your profile on the website (on the main menu, not in the forums). Then to "edit profile". If I see you on TS tonight, I'll see if I can lend you a hand.

Our TS had it's address change. If you had the old one, it will no longer work. I'll PM you our current TS address. This should help in getting a hold of Butzzell.

The TS server address changed. I made an announcement in the member section, and ask that people pass on the message. I'll PM you the new information, as well as give you member access.

That's great!

S! All, If you're looking for someone to fly with, regardless of whether you're a member of JG 1 or not, post here and pick up a group together! II./JG 1 officially flies IL-2 1946 and Cliffs of Dover. But we also fly Rise of Flight, A-10C and Black Shark. We're always up for some online fun. ~Salut!~ Alfred Klaiber Maj.u.Gruppenkommandeur II.Gruppe Jagdgeschwader 1

That makes much more sense to me.

I saw this. So far, I'm not really impressed. However, I do appreciate Luthier attempting to keep the people engaged with Cliffs of Dover's and Battle of Moscow's development. I still have hope that the next patch for Cliffs of Dover will fix things, but who knows...

Here is some new CoD news from 1C: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3501468/New_news.html#Post3501468

New announcement: DCS: P-51D Mustang Coming in 2012 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84480 Now all we need is a Bf 109G or K.

Thanks Doc, we'll definitely stop by. There are about 5 or 6 of us who actively fly it.

4.11m was released yesterday: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29039 Wasn't sure if you guys knew. Don't overwrite your UltraPack install IL-2! You'll need that to stay at 4.101m for Ghost Skies. But you can create a second "clean" install of IL-2 and then patch it with 4.11m.

I had a much longer response to this, but the website ate it. It's probably for the better, as it was long. Either way, the 5 second version: I think you're 100% right. It's a deliberate obfuscation of strength designed to trick the French and the British during the interwar period into thinking the Luftwaffe is bigger than it actually was. The Luftwaffe circa 1935 had 20 front line squadrons. However, they weren't anywhere near fighting strength. When the Germans retook the Rhineland in 1936, for example, He 51's were flying over German troops in order to protect them. However, they had no ammunition! The whole thing was an elaborate gamble, with the Germans betting that the French would avoid a war at all cost. Regarding naming convensions of squadrons: The first squadrons in the Luftwaffe (circa 1934 through 1935) were called Fliegerstaffeln within the German military, with a "J" used to denote a fighter squadron. For example: Fliegerstaffel (J) 1. Often, however, these Fleigerstaffeln would have public names to make them sound innocuous. Remember, prior to 1935, the Luftwaffe was a clandestine organization. So, for example, the squadron which would eventually become JG2 was officially called DVL Reklame-Staffel Mitteldeutschland in 1934/5. It means: Central Germany Publicity Squadron. Either way: These Fligerstaffel, in 1935, started to adopted the naming syntax that we recognize from the Second World War. For example: Fliegerstaffel (J) 1 (my example from before) became 1./JG136. However, all of the Jagdgeschwaders had triple numbers at this point. JG134, JG135, JG232, etc. This is probably to make the uninformed think that there were lower numbered Jagdgeschwaders out there too, even though at this point they didn't exist. This triple number style of designation lasted right up until the Spring of 1939. Specifically, they lasted until May of 1939. In May 1939, all squadrons shifted in unison to the more simpler number system we recognize from the Second World War. Why? Probably because Fall Weiss (the Invasion of Poland) was about 3 months away. And at this point, obfuscation became less important than command and control. For example: I./JG130 becomes I./JG1, I./JG131 becomes I./JG2, II./JG231 becomes I./JG3, etc. Overall, it's an extremely interesting subject.

Almost all of the Jagdgeschwaders of the Second World War have a very convoluted and confusing history. As the Luftwaffe was establishing itself organizationally during the inter-war years (from 1933 to 1939), many fighter wings and squadrons were created, disbanded, merged and renamed to conform with the new directives from the OKL (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe). As a result, there is no easy explanation for why certain units received certain numbers. The WW2 version of JG1 thus has no ties to the WW1 version of JG1, just as the East German version of JG-1 has no ties to either Oesau or Richthofen. For example, II./JG1's history goes something like this: 1 July 1938 : II./JG 137 created as a new unit at Zerbst, Germany. 1 November 1938 : II./JG 137 re-designated II./JG 231 at Zerbst, Germany. 1 May 1939 : II./JG 231 re-designated I./JG 3 at Zerbst, Germany. 15 January 1942 : I./JG 3 re-designated II./JG 1 at Katwijk, Netherlands. 30 April 1945 : I./JG 1 and II./JG 1 merged to form I. (Einsatz)/JG 1 and II. (Sammel)/JG 1 at Leck, Germany. 4 May 1945 : I. (Einsatz)/JG 1 and II. (Sammel)/JG 1 merged again to form special consolidated Intervention groups (Einsatzgruppen) 5 May 1945 : ETO ends, all Einsatzgruppen disbanded. Not sure if that helps.

I can't wait for this patch. Should be awesome. Btw: does anyone know what happened to the Bf 110 radar system they were talking about a long time ago? It was supposed to be included in 4.10 and then 4.101, but don't think it ever was.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

That's amazing!

Hi Lo, Just wanted to bring you attention here: http://www.jg1.org/tabid/116/g/posts/t/436/How-do-I-------add-a-custom-flyable-squad-to-DCG.aspx Posted in the Oesau » General section. Thanks!

Yes, that's 4 gigabytes.

LOL! That's great.

I'll ask Raven.
