Post by: daddog on August 17, 2010, 08:30:13 AM: Posted up on the Events FSO page.

Registration is open for new squads.

Registered squads can now update their squad information, change their pilot commitment, squad contacts, and move to inactive status is need be.

Dates are:
Frame 1, September 3rd
Frame 2, September 10th
Frame 3, September 17th

*Please note that the squads that are assigned Allied will be using air starts exclusively in the new Germany terrain. I strongly suggest everyone practices this before Frame 1.

Any questions or errors spotted, please post them up in here.

Post by: WxMan on August 18, 2010, 04:18:25 AM: What will be the altitude of the air starts? I didn't see it mentioned.

Post by: Stoney on August 18, 2010, 06:54:45 AM: Why can't the Germans use air starts? There are some if I'm not mistaken...

Post by: 68falcon on August 18, 2010, 09:28:18 AM: Air starts are all allied (Bishops) getting bombers to altitude and formed up also the distances they would have to fly led to the Allied air starts.

Post by: Krusty on August 18, 2010, 07:36:10 PM: Because G2s were long past by the time this setup is taking place.

On the surface it looks like an allied landslide with all US planes coming in at 35-40K and all spits and temps chasing down anything that tries to drop below 20. Been done before in FSO (different setup, same planes) and it's never pretty.

But the G2's were still in use right to the end, and even though the G6 is a later model the G2 is a better perform imho.

Post by: Krusty on August 19, 2010, 08:29:48 PM: At the end of the war you wouldn't find any G2s flying with the Luftwaffe outside of flight schools, as far as I recall.

I thought the same thing until our Finish friends taught me otherwise. Leave the gondolas in the hanger if you have a choice.

Stoney this is going to sound as dumb as it should. There are both allied and axis air spawns. Next time before I post I will talk to the guy who built the terrain.

Oh wait that was me :rolleyes: :o :bolt:

That's ok. Even though I've never made a mistake on this board, I have a high tolerance for the mistakes of others...Everyone knows that...

I thought I made a mistake once, but then I was mistaken.
