Red-Dog 3 Posted December 27, 2009 Your country needs you. Join Vasco's campaign and you could be the pilot with this in your trophy cabinet. This is a actual RAF tankard from No 8 Sqd based at R.A.F Scampton which was aquired from the officers mess in the 1970's if you would like this for your collection then join up for the Sunday MP campaign. If you are thinking of joining up for a 3 month campaign then please post here so we get a rough idea of the numbers. Campaign date will be 1916, flying for the RFC. Start date 10.1.10 / time 1900 GMT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're a lot of fun to fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted December 29, 2009 I will definitely be joining the next campaign, though I may miss the the 3rd Sunday of each month depending on the local weather. Those are the days my black powder club shoot. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RCAF_Dudley 0 Posted December 29, 2009 I'll sign-up for some aerial abuse! I've just upgraded my CPU from Intel E6400 (2.13GHz) to an E8600 (3.33 GHz). I'll perhaps look into OverClocking; the E8600 is supposed to take 4.0 GHz fairly easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von Baur 54 Posted January 1, 2010 You can count me in, Vasco. Can we get an official post about the mission aircraft? I believe what was discussed was FE2's bombing and DH2's flying cover, correct? If so, what will the scoring be for the FE's; how many points for bombs on target and will there be bonus points for downing an enemy craft from one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vasco 3 Posted January 1, 2010 You can count me in, Vasco. Can we get an official post about the mission aircraft? I believe what was discussed was FE2's bombing and DH2's flying cover, correct? If so, what will the scoring be for the FE's; how many points for bombs on target and will there be bonus points for downing an enemy craft from one? von Baur, Because of the way the campaign generates mission I cannot guarantee they'll be bombing opportunities on every mission. I'm considering making the squadron consist of 12 DH2s with 3 FE2Bs available for bombing/fighter ops but this will only work if we get 6 people who want to crew the Fees. With regard to the points system, it will remain the same except any points achieved by the Fee crews will be granted to both pilot and gunner as theirs is a team effort e.g. bombs on target = 2 points for each member of the crew. The same for any air-to-air kills achieved by the gunner. I think this is an equitable method of scoring which doesn't penalise the seperate duties of the pilot and gunner in these craft but I'm open to alternative suggestions.

themightysrc 5 Posted January 1, 2010 I'm in if I can get my new router sorted out for next weekend, and assuming that it's wireless link is powerful enough (though I'm assured it will be...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted January 1, 2010 src....if you think your going to need assistance,,let me know,,but problems with routers generally only concern those who want to host. Joining a game should not need any router adjustments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von Baur 54 Posted January 1, 2010 I'll back up what duck said, Simon. My connetion problems are with the outside wireless internet, not the inside wireless router. Just try to keep the line between your computer and the router free of things like cordless phones and microwave ovens. Those can cause interference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themightysrc 5 Posted January 2, 2010 Hi, Thanks for the offers gents, but I'm pretty sure that my wireless woes are down to having an old Belkin that is fairly poor at projecting a signal to where I need it. The new one I've bought (Belkin N) should give a more powerful signal, or so I've been told. I'll get it configured today - by hand, as my Ubuntu box naturally won't entertain the setup exe - and see what the signal's like upstairs (gaming PC).
