Is the night time format the future for scenarios?  The late nights (at least by my standards) is the main reason I no longer fly FSO's now.....   

[Hajo]

M Jug sounds about right for me

Not the new normal, just going to change it up for this one. For what it is worth, the start time is 2 hours earlier than FSO start time.

Thanks perd.  Wrote this in the AM before coffee had a chance to take.     Was getting ready to go dig for sapphires, and it hit me that it is EST; I live in MST, so 1900 for me and an acceptable time, so now I'm excited again!   

Works for me      regardless, either way I appreciate that you and others put in the effort to make these events happen.

Hate to hear that, Turt. I hope you can make it for an initial sortie or two before it gets too late.

No no, don't be sorry. I am sorry, too. I do not foresee it as becoming a regularity, but we are trying to cater to as many as we can. For this event, we will reach a slightly different crowd and see how it goes. As always, we appreciate your dedication to Special Events and hope we can see you in the next one down the road.

Curious as to why the P47Ms? No 9th Jug units had them.  Is it just to give folks the extra performance to maybe get more folks to play?  Lots of 9th AF skins for the D40s I believe.  Not going to find any for the M   Unless you are sending the 56th FG to the 9th AF as they had the Ms.  Your call obviously, just curious.

[Brooke]

Yep, playability.

If we had 150 people per frame, plane sets could be more expansive.

As Brooke said, mainly playability. D40s were in the original write-up and I was going to have Greebo do a 48th FG skin as that is who I tracked down to be closest to our area of ops.

While I think the D40 would be able to hold its own, the M will have a better time versus the Dora, K4, 152 and easier to fill. The other alternative was to have only Ponies, but I found that difficult to justify considering the sheer number of Jug squads (14) as opposed to Ponies (2). It is very well known that the 56th is the only unit to operate Ms, but we definitely wanted the Jug to be represented.
