Bloody April event time

[Vonrd]

I think that I might have quoted the Bloody April times incorrectly. The Briefing starts at 19:00 UTC (which is actually one hour past the normal FIF time. For me in Pacific current time, it's Noon). There isn't a defined mission start time. It starts once the Briefing is finished.

I probably won't be able to participate in April because my parents will be out to visit last half.

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?

I think that, for NA anyway, It's Moxy (depending on his availability on the day of event), Maus, Gabby and myself. Some of us will be attending a DCS event on April 12 instead of BA. As of present, we've been assigned Entente.

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

@JGr2-J5_Baeumer is currently working on team balance but it still looks like JG1 / J30 assigned Entente.

@Gabi, I don't think that your registration went through since you're not showing on any of the country lists. Maybe we can help you Thurs night practice.

Thanks

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

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...

[Vonrd]

Sorry that you missed out! I think Entente was organized only a day or so before the event without much in the way of clear instructions. Entente did a pre event briefing on the Ad Astra discord but you had to contact Gardimus to get permissions for the channel. The actual event had comms on Flugpark but, again, I think you have to have specific permissions. You should contact Baeumer and Gardimus in DM. It would be more certain of a positive result than me trying to act as a go between.

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!
