    I had a good time at first taking out 2 ships on the same torpedo run. Hoorah. Then I got shot up and crashed into the sea. Then I took another trip ending up again in the sea. Then the 'actual' world intervened with local wind gusts over 90km/h and we lost power for 2 1/2 hrs. Was dying for a cuppa of course. That's resolved now. It was fun while it lasted, though others had continued launcher crashes spoiling their fun.

    It was great to have an Event again......and to see many 'old faithfuls' joining us on the TFS3 Server.

    Unfortunately, I was plagued with Launcher Crashes in the earlier part of the evening and so never found the enemy ships. I think Slot suffered some crashes as well. Strange, as I haven't had any crashes for a very long time.

    I had three crashes at least, which all struck around 10 to 15 minutes after 'creating.' I eventually managed to stay on the server without crashing, by changing the USB port used by my Microsoft 'Sidewinder' joystick. It may have been in a USB3 port and because the stick is 'old technology' may have been 'incompatible'....... or at least that's what Window's trouble Shooting suggested. I think it is now in a USB2 port.

    After making this change, I then flew with Slot and Jack Max for quite a time, with no crashes. Phew! Fingers crossed the problem is solved.

    Many thanks to the organisers of last night's event. Salute.

    I was in awe, Dazza. I was on the same torpedo run with you and MISSED with both my torpedoes on a larger target - the freighter! You got TWO smaller targets with just TWO torpedoes!

    I returned later to sink that freighter with a bomb-laden Hurri IIc, missed again, clipped its mast, splashed down in front of it - and it then ran me over! LOL

    I think I’ll stick to navigating…..

    It wasn’t the same without you, Stickz.

    For the next event we’ll do a better job of publicizing it. This time of year is difficult to dedicate the time needed to really get the word out there.

    It was wonderful to have you join us, Marlow, despite your launcher crashes.

    I recall having issues with an older Logitech webcam which kept crashing on me during a Zoom session. Turns out it was the USB 3.0 port it was plugged into.

    Re: Operation Compass - The Pursuit Sat Dec 11

    Many thanks to Oskar and Snapper for organising.

    Was late to the party again due to failure to learn how to tell time. I didn't realise Europe was UK+1 so advertised Rome time 8pm was UK 7pm!


    Great to catch up with everyone again despite two CTD for no apparent reason.

    Trying to find ships is so hard on your own so was glad to eventually to wing up with Snapper in IIb and find something to bomb.
    Noob mistake as forgot to fuse bombs longer than 0 second and attack was too shallow. Caught in own blast and bobbed around watching Snapper get "keelhauled" by freighter.
    That must be first for CLOD?

    After we went up in Spits the sky seemed to clear rapidly of potential targets so I put that down to JackMaxx and Marlows considerable skill and reputation.

    I figure Slot would get a chuckle out of this.

    Back story: I made 2 passes on a freighter in a Hurricane IIc and missed each time with a 500 lb bomb. I then decided to make a strafing run and...came a cropper. Booger!!!!!!

    Why do these swimming bathtubs have these annoying masts, if they don't have any sails?!?
    It's so unfair!



    Happened to me uncountable times ...

    Excellent video Snapper.
    One for the archives.

    Maybe the coders could make a sub come along in future and combine CLOD with Das boot.

    Can’t believe the ship propellers modelled in game and was half expecting you to be chunked up.
