Your In-Game Name: JG1_Etzel EIF Discord Name: JG1_Etzel [if applicable] Squadron affiliation: JG 1 If you have a particular Squadron or person that you prefer to fly with: III./JG 1 Your time zone: CET = UTC +1 Will you primarily be?: Pilot Your certainty of attending: Week A1 (Saturday, 1 November 2025) Yes, 2nd half of Mission Week A2 (Saturday, 8 November 2025) Yes, 2nd half of Mission Flip sides Week B1 (Saturday, 15 November 2025) No Week B2 (Saturday, 22 November 2025) Yes, 2nd half of Mission Starting Time is too early for me, so I try to join at least for the 2nd Half or last 3rd of every mission beside the one Nov 15th, where I probably cannot attend at all. As I know that such "partially" participations are pain in the a** for commanders I fully accept any (flying) task to do that is needed by the team at the moment when I join and it is also clear that it might be the case that there is simply no task available at all, because more reliable comitments are preferred in the planning.... But looking forward to the event as there are not so many chances for trans-atlantic flying action any more in recent months....

Thx 4 the impressions

Well, when u look at the cessna after it stand still it definitly fullfills clearly the "good-landing-criteria" according to "any landing the pilot (and passengers) can step away on their own feet is a good landing" Amazing Job by the pilot!!

Wow, some of those artworks look quite impressive... thx for sharing

Thanks for the Info, Vonrd! Sorry, don't want to cause any inconvenience, but really had no clue where to catch the info about comms, thought I will find anyone at J5 discord as I understood they want to control the max communication rules in their channels... Not sure by naw which other sessions of this BA I would be able to catch, but in case I will try to contact Gardimus via Ad Astra Discord; at least I have that server already added S!

Well, sorry for not showing up, but I looked on several Discord Servers and Channels to see where are the Entente Pilots and I was not able to find them (German Team was on the Jasta5 Discord I saw), so finally I was simply not able to join...

As the switch to Daylight Time in central europe happens tonight (after BA session) I would be definitely late for todays mission again (I would be able to join around 2000 UTC)! But what is more a problem for me: I have no clue where I should report in when I am ready? I am simply not managing that comunications via Discord, I have no clue if there is specific meeting channel for Entente side and I did not see any sign-up sheet to let the team know about my availability... So to summarize it: I have no clue how this years BA is organized ... !? Edit: Some days ago I did find that message where I joined the entente side via a specific reaction, meanwhile I don't even find that message again ... I am affraid simply too old for all that discord logic Update 2: After klicking through J5-Discord I finally found the invite to the Entente G.H.Q Server and joined it; hope to find you there when I finally arrive

Thanks for the Info, I registered now as well for Entente. Not sure how my availability looks like every Saturday, but I try to join you as often and as soon as possible

Well, that could mean at least some of the missions I could participate nearly fully... who else of JG1 is going to fly BA this year?

Very cool Vids!! I like esp. the 1st one with the take off where it's good to see how you push the left rudder just after the tail went up...

Hi Gwen, thanks for sharing all your experience, thats very, very interesting 4 me. Well, for me the D.VIII is already now one of the most challenging german planes in FC (as it was in RoF too), I rarely manage to land it without breaking the wing... And also sharp turns in dogfights are leading to uncotrolled many times, so u see me very impressed that you fly that bird IRL Hope to fly with u soon in FC. Best Etzel

That controller seems to take his job quite relaxed...

Well, that sounds at least very easy to learn in the trainings....

As Requirements Engineer I like that approach... Why invest any ressources of for 1st providing (engineers and materials) 2nd processing (pilots) an information that does not bring you any added info? For all that stuff on "MASTER ALERT" is enough, that tells the pilot "somthing is wrong, land asap"

Sorry, plans changed, so I am probably not available this saturday: Your certainty of attending: Week A3 (Saturday, 2 November 2024): probably no Week A4 (Saturday, 9 November 2024): Yes (for the 2nd half of the mission)

Tomorrow plans changed and seems I can join the Dry Run during the session!

In-Game Name: JG1_Etzel FIF Discord Name: JG1_Etzel [if applicable] Squadron affiliation: JG1 Your time zone: CEST until A2, CET for A3 and A4. Your certainty of attending: Dry Run Test (Saturday, 12 October 2024): No Week A1 (Saturday, 19 October 2024): Yes (at least 2nd Half) Week A2 (Saturday, 26 October 2024): No Week A3 (Saturday, 2 November 2024): Yes (at least 2nd Half) Week A4 (Saturday, 9 November 2024): Yes (at least 2nd Half) Will join the sessions I plan to attend with a delay due to familiy life and as already mentioned above: Any change of plan is because of real life sometimes does not run as planned...

Very accurate summary!

Of course.... Would be interested, how much "input" this top gun trailer needed. Only "give me a trailer for a WW2 version of Top Gun" or what amount of info else was entered....? I mean content wise, not with respect to the optical style....

Will there be a test run tomorrow?

Worked fine for me just minutes ago.. When u are in the key mappings on default you are in the gui for text search; there u need to klick on the upper right tab, then press any button and it listed the assigned command for the button or control (well: I did not test axis assignments...)

So, it seems that we are on central side... who's participating in the test event tomorrow? I hope I can join but cannot say for sure by now...

No, I mean if we (as JG1) have chance to register with the option "put me (us) in where you need us for balance"
