That performance was awesome, Pragr, was a cool mission we had yesterday! I am also curious what Joystick the new one is and what you report about it then... My beloved X52 pro will sooner or later also reach the end of it's life cycle...

Gratulations! This Gold Class Wound Badge looks really pretty

real cool vid, Hotlead! Hopefully will attract new People to try it out :-)

Ok, thx for clarification

Hi Mates, I want to pick up this topic again: As esp. Butzzell might remember in the one session before the last one the rule "only Bombers can complete the primary bombing options" was questioned because both teams had violated this rule for one objective. The followig discussion came to the conclusion (that way agreed by every one) that this rule could be skipped easily, e.g. when you have plenty bombers available but only 2 rescue and 3 recons planes but you want to risk those special planes for a bombing target... so well, feel free... The rule that makes still sense is: Only 2-seaters can complete bombing targets while fighters may not carry any bombs! This rule can be easily controlled via server stats in that way: - If a fighter had carried bombs (e.g. by mistake as pilot forgot to change plane set up before take off) it is as long no problem, as long the stats show now ground kill (in that case the bombs mean only a disadvantage for the piliot). But if a fighter has a ground kill AND was also equipped with bombs it means 1 point of the result is deducted.... (Well: With the fighters we have in the current plane set that rule is anyhow obsolete... ...but in general I mean ) I am asking this, as current objective description still say that only dedicated "Bombers" are allowed to complete the primary targets.

Thanks also an this fast reply and the clarification regarding "Odd" vs "Even" maps... So far no open questions for me.... Salute / c u on saturday!

All clear on this, so after landing or ditching in frindly Zone I'll check my watch :-) ....only thing I am wondering is that you see in the chat window if you're captured, I did never notice such a message so far... Anyhow, question answered => thanks a lot!

....and last Question (a very short one this time *g*): I do not understand, what the "Odd" and the "Even" Maps are for => which of the maps is used when?

In most of the mission descriptions for the 2-seater primary objectives I found a statement like e.g.: Recon aircraft may carry ordinance and are allowed to bomb secondary objective targets, as well as supply trains and supply convoys. They may not bomb Icon targets. That role is strictly relegated to pure Bombers. ​​I am interpreting the "secondary objective Targets" as those targets that are activated after primary objectives are completed, now just to make it clear: Is (for example) the recon plane allowed to bomb any secondary target, even it was not activated with this specific plane and pilot, but from anyone else? Or is this rule specially dedicated to the situation: Only if you returned the photos of a recon flight successfully, you are allowed to direclty re-use the same (recon-)plane for the bombing of exactly this secondary target that you have activated? And regarding the "Targets of Opportunity" (like e.g. supply trains): Does it bring any advantage for the team to bomb such targets? ....hope Q's are clear and not (too) stupid... Thx / best Etzel

Hi, as newbie I did read the Information above and also the no-mans-land update , but nevertheless I did not find a clear answer, if the refly penalty of 5 minutes is implemented in the mission design (meaning: The game won't let me grab a plane) or if the Pilot needs to take the brake of 5 minutes "manually"? And esp. regarding http://forum.jg1.org/topic/4755-no-mans-land-update/it is also not completely clear for me how landing in enemy or frindly territory is handled technically: I strongly guess, that if I land in enemy territory (or in the enemy zone of no-mans-land) the system cannot decide that I am captured, so it's up to the Pilot to comply with the rule and either exit from server or only fly as gunner any more => correct? If yes, that brings me to the question: If I land anywhere in friendly territory, far away from the mud, but also far away from any active field: Is it requested to take a screenshot of my landing position also in such situations to proof that it was on the right side of the map or how will be controlled that a refly was allowed? Sorry if this Info is already written somewhere, but I was not able to find something that made it fully clear for me.... Thx / Best Etzel
