Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

Discord may be the thing eventually, but for today I suggest just meeting as normal on FI teamspeak. Not sure Aaron has/uses Discord either.

Off for a bike ride; plan to join you guys right after my post-ride shower.

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

Hi Frank, thanks. No, no impact in my area except for 'refugees' staying in shelters in our area as well as many other cities in the state. I do have a number of friends & family that Harvey affected though. Some lost most or all posesssions, but living through it is the main thing. Those losses...

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

OK, I've registered boys. Please add me Vin. Will fly a sortie or 2 tonight if I find time; plan to do more tomorrow (evening your time) unless plans change. Hope to fly with any others who can join. I have downloaded Discord. Have either of you used it? TAW admins recommend it; apparently they have...

Re: Random Expert Server

Apparently the Random Expert server is down right now. It's not in the server list, and saw some conversation about that in the server's forum. When I flew it this week, the Germans were across the Volga & had pushed the Reds to the edge of the map, so my guess is they won and we're just waiting...

Re: Random Expert Server

Sounds good Vin. I'll hunt for you. Any idea what time? FNBF starts at 1900 UTC and still has room for more people. I signed up for 'reserve' (i.e. 'maybe'). So, I can skip that altogether & just fly Random Expert, or fly FNBF a little first if you're going to be later than 1900. Or of course, y...

Re: Random Expert Server

Good to know how to level bomb once in a while, but you don't need the bomb sight to dive bomb. Just start high (>2500m recommended, clouds allowing), keep your speed up, and drop 'em all in a single pass, then head home. Over highly defended targets you'll need to do some weaving around before &...

Re: Random Expert Server

Haven't viewed the movies, but I will - thanks for posting Vin! Yeah, we need to do a nice group effort together next time we can work it out. Ideally we will communicate with the team & all concentrate on 1-2 targets at a time, using local air superiority to wipe them out one by one. Meanwhile ...

Re: Random Expert Server

Thanks Vin, I managed to join so there are 3 of us there now. For any interested, most of the 'how it works' for this server is found under the 'Info' tab on the same site Vin's links take you to, and only take 5-10 minutes to read. One important thing: if you go >7 days without flying a sortie on t...

Re: Still alive

Didn't realize you'd moved, Vin. Congrats on the new place! Hope to see you online again before long, but we all know getting settled is a handful, and it sounds like there could be quite a few 'honey do's' in your immediate future! :lol: Hope it all goes smoothly, mate.

Re: Piper on a roundabout?

Missed this earlier. Very creative idea! Would certainly create the need for HUGE changes in takeoff and approach designs for airspace. Lots of plusses and minuses to be considered. Will be interesting to see if it goes anywhere. Thanks for the post Adam!

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

I've added you Neil!

Haven't managed any more sorties there yet, but will probably get in 1 or 2 this week. We missed you this afternoon / evening!

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

Gents, I've only managed one sortie on this new war so far. AA blew a wing off my Stuka while I was in a ~80% dive bombing attack over an airfield! Those gunners are pretty amazing, I must admit. :roll: Neil, Glad you're making a try at it... but, which side did you sign up under, Red or Blue? I hav...

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

Feeling a little lonely on this thread... is anybody still alive out there?? :wink: Anyway, a brand new TAW session launched yesterday. I just signed up. However I'm flying Blue Side this time, just to enjoy some time on the other side's planes for a change. Some rules have been changed for this rou...

Re: Old days

Odessa / Dundas, It was a pleasure meeting & talking with you! Glad to see Genosse has already responded. Hopefully others will also drop in to say hello in time, but as you can see our forums aren't very active anymore these days. :( Anyway I'll keep an eye out for you in BOS. Always good to se...

Re: Tactical Air War (for IL-2 BOS/BOM)

Gents, I have registered our squad once again for the new session, which started on Sunday after numerous updates by the creators. They're already on map 2 - Red won the first one before I even had a chance to fly. Based on tank kills I think from what I read in forum the other day. Let me know when...
