That's great!

Sorry I wasn't around last night.

Great news, @Vogel! Can't wait to fly with you again. You've definitely been missed.

Hi @Witzig, thanks for dropping by our boards! As Moxy says, we don't currently run a 24/7 server. But we're constantly organizing events, like the ACME: Aces Over Arras mentioned in the above post. Last month, we ran a WW2 event, which was a ton of fun. And we have another one of those being prepped right now. If you're interested in flying with us, even unofficially with no membership strings attached, you're more than welcome. Here is our squadron Discord: https://discord.gg/SM6Uk5XuJ2

Was curious when you'd get to the Battle of the Denmark Strait.

JG1 is proud to present: Air Combat Multiplayer Events (ACME)! ACME is a series of homegrown one-shot competitions that use the IL-2: Flying Circus, IL-2: Great Battles, and DCS World Open Beta simulators. Some ACME events have the most basic rules, concentrating on fun-fly matches for the open community. Other ACME events are flown as serious online contests using “dead-is-dead.” In those matches, each player only has one pilot per night. Details regarding ACME events are always posted well before the event date, with clear instructions on what registered pilots and guests should expect. Our second ACME offering is "Aces Over Arras," created by JG1_Butzzell! Aces Over Arras is a fun event for IL-2: Flying Circus, using the WW1 map and a 1917/1918 plane-set. Aces Over Arras is a semi-fictitious event with little historical precedent. The aircraft are selected to suggest the pitched air battles of World War One, not replicate an actual battle. Scout aircraft are unlimited in number. However, mission-specific aircraft are limited to six total per type. All scouts are stationed at non-mission aerodromes. Scout pilots need to rendezvous with the multicrew aircraft they will be escorting. Central Powers: Fokker Dr.1 - unlimited Pfalz D.IIIa - unlimited DFW C.V [arty bomber] – 6 total Gotha G.V [strategic bomber] – 6 total Halberstadt CL.II [recon] – 6 total Entente Powers: Sopwith Camel - unlimited Sopwith Triplane – unlimited Airco D.H.4 [arty bomber] – 6 total Airco D.H.4 [recon] – 6 total Handley Page O/400 [strategic bomber] – 6 total Date and Time: Saturday, 13 August 2022 at 6 PM UTC (1800 Zulu) / 2 PM EDT Place: JG1 IL-2 Server - http://stats.jg1.org:8000/en/ Comms: JG1 will provide TeamSpeak, Discord, and SRS To get involved and read the mission details, head over to the ACME Discord and register: Direct link: https://discord.gg/x9SZVCZyFN

It's a real shame what they did to that building. Way to take something with soul and make it soulless.

Always a big fan of CCR.

Looks great!

Um…

That's a really good looking aircraft. Can't wait to see it completed!

Very nice work @Vonrd! Did you have any other skins in the immediate pipeline? Or would it be okay to update the paint pack?

Very nice video. You and @Snaggle really did great down there. All set.

Can you play as the Cylons? Or just the Colonies?

Hi @Stahl, My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Unfortunately, this week has been relatively busy, so my time online has been short. I knew you were a member of SIA, so when I contacted you, I was going to ask about that. Honestly, you’re more than welcome to join us whenever you’d like. No JG1 membership is needed. So if you see us online, please join us. I’ve given you some more access to our Discord server (you’re now a Trusted Guest). And I’ll DM you on Discord with our TeamSpeak information. I know you said you don’t have that program, but the data can’t hurt. Also, if you don’t mind, let SIA know that JG1 is interested in joint practices/events. We have good ties to SCG and ACG as well. So we might be able to get something good going. Talk more soon!

Very nicely done, Shade. And very good use to the assessment window! I like how you stressed keeping energy up and working the control zone.

Thanks to everyone who was able to fly ACME: Aces Over the Rhine with us today! And a special thanks to @Kliegmann for building such a fun and enjoyable mission! The results were an Allied victory. RAF pilots (BLUFOR) were able to blind the German radar net, Himmelbett. And while the Luftwaffe (REDFOR ) put up a dogged defense, the RAF was able to exploit the gap and push through to damage two German industrial areas. However, these Allied successes came at a cost as German Flakkorps proved deadly for both low and high-flying RAF aircraft. Everyone at ACME is looking forward to flying with you all again soon!

Looks great, Vonrd!

@Butzzell and @Kliegmann might be able to help.

Hi Sancho Panzer, Welcome! I'll send you an email to the address you registered with. Looking forward to talking to you more soon.

@Vonrd - I've edited the above. Check again.

In older books, you'll see the emblem shown as a pink demon emerging from clouds against a blue background. However, this has been shown to be wrong. In Luftwaffe Gallery #4, by Erich Mombeek, page 27 reads: "It has long been assumed that the devil appeared against a blue sky background on these emblems, although a recently published colour photo indicates that the fires of hell have in fact turned the 'sky' a deep yellow red colour." @Vonrd, check this private link: https://forum.jg1.org/topic/3778-jg-1-oesau-emblems-and-markings/?do=findComment&comment=31579 There is a mock-up of that aircraft there. This is what it says: Focke-Wulf Fw 190 A-4 coded '<I' (WNr. 581) of Stab I./JG 1, flown by Lt. Eberhard Burath, Gruppenadjutant, Deelen, April 1941. "This Fw 190 A-4 displays the devil in the clouds emblem of IV./JG 1 that was retained by the unit after it was renamed I./JG 1. The Geschwader emblem, a Maltese cross overlaid with the sign of the hunter, appears beneath the cockpit. The black and white cowl stripes also indicate that this machine belonged to the Stab of I. Gruppe. The IV. Gruppe disc aft of the Balkenkreuz has recently been over-painted, most probably during early April when the unit was designated and Lt. Eberhard Burath was appointed Gruppenadjutant. As one of the few pilots of the former IV./JG 1 to survive the war, Burath willingly assisted several authors with research into his former unit."

These are great videos, Barton. Not only do they show how to deal with tough situations, but also that sometimes things just don't go your way.
