Hi fellas,

There's a new mission on the 2nd server if anyone would like to help me test. Yes, it's in the same battle area. Not much I can do about that until we have the CTD's sorted (unless you don't want any fun). But it should be a whole different atmosphere with the new objectives and time of day (there's runway lights :) )

Please let me know of any problems you find.

And there's a few planeset changes in this one as well :)

Flight Lieutenant 'Shorty' Longbottom from the Heston Flight, shortly after dawn this morning reconnoitred the target areas in occupied France, providing aerial photographs of both these targets, and a new potential objective for the Luftwaffe in England. 477 These aerial photographs are attached to this report.

He reports a high concentration of target objects at the German Supply Depot in grid reference L5.3, 475 indicating approximately 4 Blenheim sorties to be required for target destruction. Our 'old friends' the 88s based at Oye-Plage appear to be as previously encountered, 476 however as they remain undercover this is not guaranteed.

He reports relatively light ack-ack over the target areas, however owing to their location predicts intense fighter activity. Unescorted bomber flights may be inadvisable.

I am also pleased to report the return of some of the new Spitfires to front line service.

Message ends.

URGENT UPDATE: Several Blenheim Crews have failed to return from missions to the Supply Depot in L5.3. RDF showed no enemy aircraft activity at the time of these raids. We can only conclude that the intensity of anti-aircraft fire has been increased since this earlier report. Beware of Flak!!

Haha Dutch - Good stuff :Grin:

This is still very much WIP. But I think Zee Germanzzes are going to have fun trying to take out the entire British Fleet. I'm predicting huge furballs above ships that have lots of flak :)

So there i was, on the way to the supply depot for the umpteenth time to see just how many bombs it would take to destroy the target, when yet again the flak shot me down.

I pressed Alt/F2 to have a look, and saw this.

Lots of boats out there. Flack is very nasty. This looks like a job for the stuka.

It's good to have the ships back as targets and I enjoyed the dusk when I logged on. The flak destroyed my 110 over the ships but it was an in-cautious solo effort.

It's even better though to have you back Bliss!!

TTFN Chaps.

Since the Red Recon team has been busy, here's a little reconnaissance photo to enable the Blues to find the new ground target.

Looking forward to this when I get home next week. I really enjoy hunting out new targets and finding the best approach.

Are we suppose to take off against white lights? I saw red and white on the airfield. Someone is going to get ran over I just know it.

ATAG_Bliss

Yeah,

The white lights mark the runways and the reds mark the end of em :Grin:

In other words, if you are seeing red, I hope you're pulling up.

Without any sort of working external lights on the planes, using the runway lights is about the only way you could see where you are going at the start of the mission. And those 2 colored lights are about the only lit up objects that you can drive through without collision. I was wanting to use nav beacons, but I could see many a plane explosion with those :Grin:

Hi Knuckles,

I've been working on the 2nd server testing scripts for the server rotation. I noticed you just joined now and left before I got a chance to chat to you.

I should be all down with the rotation scripts in about 20 minutes. Then there will be 3 maps rotating on the 2nd server. If all goes well with testing, the same setup and rotation will be put on the 1st server.

So.., I'm almost done. Bare with me :Grin:

Ok done!

There's 3 missions on there right now. If you can't connect or the server is down please report it.

If all the servers are down then don't worry about it. Just looking for errors specific to the new setup.

Thanks!

Me to my wife tomorrow: "Look, I realize it's your birthday but you know the obligations that sometimes have to be made for the good of the squad. I figure 12 hours -- tops -- to test and evaluate the 3 missions on Server 2. Plenty of time for you to bake your best birthday cake ever! I'll give you a heads up when I'm final approach at the end of the very last sortie so you can start slicing it!"

On second thought, I better hide all the kitchen knives tomorrow. Women have no sense of humour........

but the Creator of the Universe, well lets just say "I aint messing with that!''

That would be either Lemmy or Jimmy Page, wouldn't it? :laugh1

Oh, Mr. Hendrix deserves a very big 'hello!' too! :salute:

But then again, maybe I've had far too much to drink. :no

ATAG_Knuckles
Feb-25-2012, 19:54

Not half Knucks!

Was flying over the channel at dawn when Bliss first put the new mission up. Absolutely beautiful. Couldn't find the target at all, but didn't mind a bit, simply because the game looked so gorgeous.

Look forward to it! :dthumb:
