Update: The HP 400 is an air spawn at 3000 m. Maximum fuel load is 20%. More fuel than that and the plane is unstable. The Gotha is an air spawn at 3000 m. Maximum fuel load is 30%. More fuel than that and the plane is unstable.

S! All Ready to start Phase B. Plane set has been updated. A minor change from the original set. The S-22 has been dropped and replaced by the HP-400. Blue team is Central and Red team is Entente. Please remember that NO weapons mods are allowed. Plane mods such as wing cut outs are allowed. Many thanks to 1PL-Husar_1Esk for the suggestion that changing the forest distance from "Maximum" to "Very Far" to eliminate the forest from flashing in and out.

S! I was surprised to see people flying the S-22 and the Gotha. The videos and streams were very exciting. The S-22 was included because it is the Russian map and it can survive against the early planes if escorted. My judgement may be clouded by my personal experience. I find all the large bombers very easy to shoot down. While I like flying the big bombers, many of our targets are very small and some are moving. Not ideal for high altitude bombing. That is why the largest number of bombers available was 10 FE 2B for Entente and only 8 Roland Cl2 for Central. The Roland is faster and a bit OP for the plane set. Lower numbers combined with a lower bomb load was an attempt to even things out. I would suggest however that the replacement for the S-22 would be the HP- 400

S! Yes the very early plane set is a bit unbalanced. The Roland is a little OP compared to the other planes. We really need an early Rumpler or Albatross 2 seater. The S-22 and Gotha are optional planes. The real bombers are RE 8 and Hlab Cl 2 for phase B.

S! All Congrats to Blue Team for their Phase A Victory! Well done. For Phase B We advance the plane set and swap back to Blue team Central, Red team Entente.

Looks like RB3D

OK, what's the deal? I need to download DCS and then download the mod?

S! All Update today has a lot for planes and tanks. Info here

S! All Getting ready for session three. We will be switching sides. Blue team will fly Entente and Red team will fly Central. Good luck !

Rhinebeck

S! All Saturday is session two. Blue is still Central and Red is Entente. Good luck to All.

S! All I was worried that the Winter textures would make navigating too difficult. Well, It looks like people had no problem. The winter textures looked nice. Next year we will use winter textures as well. I was impressed with winter textures on the prison.

S! All Some folks have suggested a Winter map for the Winter Campaign. The practice server is up in Winter Season. Please try and do some missions to see how well you can navigate. Will this be OK?

S! All Just a reminder. We only have two active air basses on each side. People that spawn in first will need to move a few plane lengths forward to let others spawn in. Other wise you could loose planes if people try to spawn and there is no room in the lineup. The Gotha and S-22 are air start. Please do not spawn in until someone on coms lets you know the flare has fired.

S! All Dry Run is this Saturday at 2:00 pm Eastern North American time. Server comes up 15 minutes earlier so people can load in. This will not be Dead is Dead. We want people to experience and explore as much as possible. If you are going to do special 2 seater missions, please review the requirements for the mission. You must have a plane with the proper name. Arty spot has altitude restrictions - above 750 m and below 1250 meters. If you do photo recon, be sure you have the photo load out and you see the camera icon when you spawn in.

I said I wanted to feel stoned. They beat me to it. Actually I think I used to hang out with them. Also I have the big drum in my back yard but mine is green. Or at least I think it is green. It might be orange. Yes, a big juicy orange with paisley leaves.

S! Vonrd. Really nice. Great musicians. Awesome production. Just seams to lack energy. I don't know. I just don't feel stoned after listening to it.

S! All found this on Adler legion and had to share.

Hummmm. Mountains above the clouds. very interesting.

Well if you are not going to fly it, Dang! You will just have to be the Commander.

S! All The war continues! For this FiF we will stay with RoF. This FiF will be on the Tarnopol map and have a full 16 objectives. It will use the very early plane set. Yes, the S-16, S-22and Russian N-17 will be included. The order of secondary objectives has changed from the last FiF. Because the map is covered in trees and mountains, there is a special consideration for the Entente. For the General Capture mission, you do not need to land to capture the General. You just fly over him and you will get the capture message. A few seconds later you will get the area to search message that leads to the secondary objective "Tanks at a Factory". There are only 2 bases for each team. If you have a lot of players at a base, please have the first ten players pull forward a couple plane lengths so others can spawn in. Otherwise you might loose planes as people try to spawn in but the spawn in slots are full. New feature: In the past there has been only one Front Line Recon area. You will now see two areas on the map. They are both active. You can do either one to complete the mission. You do not need to do both. This will help create a little more fog of war. The enemy will not know which one you are doing. If you get interrupted on one you can go do the other one instead. Or you can do both at the same time and the one that gets back first completes the mission. The practice mission is running on the JG1 Server. Mission start time is 11:00 am and runs for two hours. If you get on and there is not enough time to do a mission, you can kill the balloon at the two seater base to restart the mission. Each team has an Air start base in enemy territory. This is to save time while practicing. It is highly recommended that if you are going to do the special 2 seater missions that you practice them a few times. There will be a dry run 23 January at the usual time- 2:pm Eastern North American. Remember the server comes up 15 minutes early so people can get in and make sure they have the proper load out. Hostilities begin on 30, January. At this point, the teams remain the same. People that have registered are still registered. We will be looking at the number pf players and new sign-ups to make sure the teams stay balanced. We are still in the process of finalizing a few things and will post more details as they become available. For info please visit the JG1 forums. There you will find a registration section and a tournament info section. The info section will have maps, plane sets and objectives. Please review the objectives as there are more than last time and the order of secondary objectives have changed.

So, a hot fix for the hot fix for the broken update that did not fix the DM. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

They did it again. MG do not cause damage. Only cannons cause damage. Prepare for a hot fix.

Merry Christmas to all. Share the joy and love.

That is just crazy. Install problem?
