It would be helpful, indeed.. BUT.. not an easy task.
A request to the CM's:
It would be extremely helpful in the planning cycle if the CM's could post a running spreadsheet or list of what squad flew what over the last 6 frames. This would be a rolling roster with the newest Frame posted dropping off the oldest. Posting the last 6 frames better set's up the Frame 01 rides.
I know I am asking for a ADMIN tool from the folks that are already over tasked and working for free here. But it would be very helpful and appreciated. Nothing fancy just the data.
Viper 61
Somebody would have to do the work inputting it. The couple times I had the chance to CIC I looked back 3 frames to see who flew what. Didnt take long,but having it done for us would be nice,as long as it wasnt too much work for the guy.
Very cool, oneway!
How about columns for each frame of each FSO for previous 6 ( 18 data columns )
Row would be squad.. With possiblity of 2 rows per frame ( for when squads get multiple rides , such as B25s/P40s )
So.. my squad's last 6 months would look like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1 - 5/20/2011
332nd Flying Mongrels: F F B F F F F F B B F F F F F B F B 18 - 12/3/2010
332nd Flying Mongrels: F F F F F F F
Screwy proportional fonts.. but I think you get the idea..
Give it a shot.. I look forward to seeing the results!
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to wait for CM permission to parse a published log file that anyone can see? :headscratch:
I see this as a very useful tool for any CiC to help them "share the love" with regards to flight assignments.
That's a good idea for the vast majority of FSo squads.
Except my squad the 132 DW Bomber Group. We prefer flying bombers 100% of the time.
With respect to the Viper's request and to your efforts so far Oneway, I ask the question why is this even needed? The AH Events sign up page has a category for preferred rides. All the Squad Co's have to do is fill in their requests for each frame before each event.
I fear what is being asked for is that those conscientious CiC's who makes the effort to look at these requests and grant them, will be asked to take up the slack of the Squad CO's who are less conscientious in filling out those requests.
Finally, a CiC will not make everyone happy with regard to plane assignments. Most everyone wants to fly the best fighters, few squads select bombers....even as an alternate. It's the nature of the game. His job is to put together a cohesive plan, but it would be easier with an updated request roster from the CO's.
:huh :headscratch: uh, what qualifies as a "bumb ride"?
:huh :headscratch: uh, what qualifies as a "bumb ride"?
i understand what you mean...guess it's a matter of perspective, just personally i look at it more as "bumb mission tasks"...which is what happens a lot. sometimes it's totally unavoidable, many times it's not.
Depends on the event and the people involved. IMHO, the P40b in just about anything it participates in. F4F, if the other aircraft are F4Us and F6Fs.. for fighters. B5Ns and D3As for bombers.. JU87s..
Sure, there are afficianados that love to fly these birds. I like any of them, but I would wager that doesn't describe the majority of FSO participants. BUT.. to follow the premise of FSO, there must be quantities of these aircraft and they must be flown by somebody.
If nothing was considered a bum ride, then this thread, ride requests, and others like it, wouldn't exist.
