Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

The time period from September 1943 through August 1944 should be extended somewhat.  Right now there is only a day available for some of the most historical bomber mission timeframe.

I agree with Fencer...let the BoB happen..quickly, and then let the 8th AF time frame last a bit longer.

I agree as well.  The time period is correct in the context of our current setup's time line, but it might be fun to stretch time during this period.  Much will depend on our ability to redraft the MOTD (which isn't really hard, of course, but it's a chore).

In the meantime, enjoy the early war, many of us think it's the best of all AH plane sets.

We have extended the summer of 1943 by an additional two days, which also fall over the weekend.  There should be plenty of time to simulate 8th AF operations thereafter.

Please extend 1942 a few more days as well since the much beloved 109G2 is not yet available and it is Sunday and has been Sunday for eight hours and fourty minutes currently.

Sorry, wife let me sleep late this morning.  It's enabled now.

Based on my observations when I was in the arena, you weren't missing a lot of competition.

New tour started today, the arena was reset. I reloaded the settings and enabled some planes - hopefully the correct ones for this date. If something went wrong, please post here.

The spit9 should be enabled at rear bases I think.
