congrats Lee. Usually win 10 will just ask for your pw or pin and say OK. You should be good with VR. Elite Dangerous should be fantastic.

S! Almost finished building FiF in FC. I am using IL2 buildings, vehicles and other objects as place holders. Once the final game is out and we have the proper file structure I think the recons will be available within a few weeks.

S! Sorry no link. There is a new tv show The Mayans. Motorcycle gang thingie. The theme song is "Paint it black" sung in Spanish. I don't know why but I love it.

S! The truck route is very short. That is probably why they are not moving. They just sit at the end of the route. I have checked several times and they despawn when killed and after all four are dead a new group spawns, The interesting thing is that if a truck is damaged and stops it may get bumped into by the next truck in line. That second truck becomes two trucks. Kill either one of these two and they both blow up and then despawn. That won't happen in FiF. No need to respawn objects, so they will be alive from the start and in formation.

Hi, From the looks of the present FC, we will be using RoF for Black September and FiF 2018 fall. Not much new there. For the FC version of FiF. We have many options. The number of live or killable object is greatly increased. In the past we have randomly selected one of three targets. With FC we can have all three as live targets. So..... 3 real bridges not AAA trucks, 3 factories, 3 Trains, 3 Ships, 3 airfields and 3 on road convoys. I think the standard HQ recon is still a viable mission, Both Deciman and AnKor are looking into it but it will probably be after FC is released Trains will have MG cars for defense. Bridges will have a machine gun for defense. No flak gun. Maybe 2 MGs Factories will have one distant Flack gun and one close in MG instead of 2 flack guns. The other thing is the ingame repeating target list. Much of this can be replaced with icons on the map. The example is the factory. You start out with 3 icons on the map. As the targets are destroyed the icons are removed from the map. That way you know what still needs to be done. For pop up targets it is the same thing. When you complete the artyspot or a recon, rescue, general capture, spy mission etc. You will get a message that a new target is active. You will see a new icon on the map and if you mouse over, it will say if it is a ship or trucks or horses etc. This is just the beginning.

Whatever they do will soon be copied. competition will lower the price.

Pimax is working on 8k and 200 degree fov. Sounds nice if they get it to work.

S! ok, I have two missions in sequence on the JG1 server. The AI is performing as it is expected. It is the Kuban map for both. Clouds have been removed at this time. I honestly like the RoF clouds much better.

Well that sucks !!!!

S! The Kuban thing looks like it is working well. I made a second map on Kuban with bases on the Western side of the map. There is also a third map in the rotation. MOSCOW. yup. Right on the city. Also added a bunch of trains. There are many tracks all over the place. After one train is killed another will spawn in a different place on another track. The train Icon is a general location. You will have to search a bit to find the train.

S! like all new sims, there will be a learning period. Some controls are set by server, some are still left to the pilot. It depends on server settings. You may be able to map settings to joy stick but then the server has them on auto. With server set to auto your controls do not work. Sometimes it can be switched by pilot from auto to manual. JG1 server is using the Kuban map. Mountains, water, ships, trucks and green land. Best to check graphics settings. Super Sampling and some other high end HD features may be on by default. This could cause low frame rates.

S! Slowly working into this. We have been on shooting star server. 4 AI on each side which is ok for a few players. I see no need to re-invent the wheel. I took the program and loaded it onto the Kuban map at some bay. I added ships in the bay for eye candy and AAA. It looks spectacular. Will eventually add some truck convoys to shoot at. Server is JG1 server fc kuban test.

S! All This is early access. This is no where near the actual product. This is not even an alpha version. I think 777 is using this more as a huge public test. They are not interested in feedback on features. They want to know where the problems are. What locks up. What causes a crash. What graphics settings have problems. They also want to get as much money in as quick as possible. Works for me.

S! All Now I know how we lost last FiF. All these medals. They add too much weight to the planes and slow us down! Seriously, well done and a big CONGRATZ.

If you fly in RL I have just one thing to say- check list, check list, check list. gl

WoW This is awesome. Congratz guys. Uhmm is this the first Red Eagle? Either way it is a very special event. Again Congratz.

WoW Well done and congratz !

S! All For the next two weeks we swap sides. Blue team will be Entente and Red team will be Central. Attention Blue team. There are four Bristols at the 2 seater base. They can be used as fighters, bombers or both.

S! All If you review the scores, you can count the Entente completed missions. There are only 10. The totals page says 11. This is because the Entente were attempting the Wreath Drop and completed it after the displayed scores had finished. Unfortunately it was counted in the totals. That will not happen again. That counter will be turned off when you see the "Mission end. Here are the results" message. Sorry for the confusion.

S! Just awesome to get together and have fun. Congratz to Jasta 6 on ten years of fantastic adventures.

Snaggle's post says it all. This was a team effort. It would never have happened without Snag, Pragr, Weiss, Ettzel, Dudley, Kliegman, Loopy,Vonrd, the occasional escort and all the people that jump in as gunners. S! All and thanks.

S! All Congrats on Red team victory for Phase A. Many good fights. Phase B will increase the number of SE5 and D7f Reminder to everyone to check load outs before take off. Especially when flying Entente. It is easy to be flying on an open server with bombs or optional guns and then get into FiF and not realize that the load out carried over. S! And good luck to All

S! All Stats parsed OK. They are in Dec Inbetween tour. Just bring up your own name and select sorties. You will see the missions listed there.

S! All Big Congratz! Well deserved.

S! Hotlead Saying you will be missed is a gross understatement. I have already gone though three boxes of kleenex. I think Etzel said it best "thanks for everything you gave to the community" It is not just the online guide, the great videos, the streaming series, the personal help you have given to many but your very presence that has been an inspiration. You will always have a place at the table and be more than welcome. We are all wishing you good things as you move forward.
