Happy thanksgiving to you who is celebrating this holiday

Any Thirdwire game and any campaign stock or mod is allowed and yes you can use the pilot as long he stays alive.

just a test shot

Just asked Dave what to do. He said. Just hit print screen, then open irfan view, and hit the paste button.

Some good old cheese. yum yum If the germs inside actually moved in the same direction the Cheese would crawl 1 mph. Facts you'll probably dont need. But man it taste great.... But the smell

Thanks Guys

Yeah I voted for the swivel heads trying to be a bit decent If anybody wants to join this outfit. Please join here. http://forum.combatace.com/topic/49956-being-inspirred-from-the-off-guys/ The rules is at page 5 at the moment

If you press Alt+N you'll jump to near target or the base when returning. I had some reports in OFF style in mind. But since not all are having english as their main language ( myself included) But bu I'll guess the report form will develop with time going by. Rome wasnt build in a day ( they are still building)

Irfan View. I'll see if I can find the link for it. http://www.irfanview.com/

Shall we say january 1.st 2010?? Now christmas is coming up

Okay guys having a little trouble with the poll. Can only poll about 5 questions. unless multiple answers is allowed. So I made a descission. If everybody can agree on the following rules. Then these are the rules for playing Dead is Dead for the CombatAce comunity. Remember these rule are only minimum settings all above is up to the indiviual player. Rule No.1 when a pilot dies he is gone for good. You will have to create a new one starting from square one again Rule No.2 You have to start at the runway manual and fly the whole mission without using Alt+N and land again manual. Landing at the nearest friendly airbase is allowed when low on fuel or damaged. No refly of a failed mission is allowed. Rule No.3 Time compression is allowed (Alt+T) Rule No.4 Settings in gameplay options on Hard except the following settings which can be set at normal: Enemy skill, Flight model, Visual targeting, HUD display and Landing. Rule No.5 A pilot ending a campaign as POW can be used again in a later war. Rule No.6 The player decides which campaign he/her wants to play. All games and mods are free game. Campaign settings on normal Rule No.7 At the end of each month every member of the Dead is Dead group has to describe the best pilot in the inventory. preferally with a screen shots of the pilot record. this is optional. If I have missed anything please correct me.

thanks my friend. Here have a virtual round on me

Okay guys I'm going to put up the poll tomorrow. Real life is intruding this evening

It's also possible to take screenshots of the debriefing screen with that program

Exactly. But we can post a screenshot of the pilot record once in a while. It just requirres a little free program to be installed. then every kill will be listed there. But again you can be shot down without dying so that will requirre honnestly from the player. But I'm not affraid of cheating since I think people who joins this outfit is joining because they like the challenge. In my mind any friendly base will do if you are low on fuel. Since air refueling isnt availlible.

I can accept Alt+T or it will takes forever if you are going on a strike mission in other end of the map I'll put it in the poll. Good point on the campaign settings. Personally I wouldnt ditch in enemy territory. Better eject and get as long distance to the wreck as possible. First place they will search

Do you want the non runway take offs and landings in the poll?? I think we should keep this open since a lot of prop airplanes can use any fields for take off and landing. you could be playing a WWII campaign. Or flying a SU-7bkl which could operate from unprepared runways... And I think it would be a nice option to have in case you'll need to ditch in case of an emergency since belly landings is out of the question.

Okay guys and gals, Last day to come up with suggestions for the rules poll. Tomorrow after work I whip up a poll.

Welcome back Dave

One of the problems playing the same campaign is also that it requirres every player to have the same game. It's a bit easier for the OFF guys since they are all flying in the same theater and same era.

How should we react if our DiD pilot is ending as a POW??? Can we reuse the same pilot in another later campaign not in the same war?? Or should we concider him as KIA?? It would be safe to assume that there is a exchange of POWs in the end of a war. Just asking to avoid some heated discussion later.. My pratice Campaign ended by getting shot down over enemy territory and becomming a POW. We were a flight of four CL-13B on CAP in the Bad Hertsfeld area. We jumped a flight of 8 Mig-17F's and downed every one of them. I got 2 and became a Ace. But as it showed up those were not the primary targets. So we went after a bunch of Beagles nearby. My wingie and me went after the same prey. And since the tailgunner didnt fire a single shot at my wingie and he used the rest of his ammo on him. I thougt it was safe to assume that the tailgunner was out of ammo. I went in close to finnish him of. Was about 200-300 yards from him and blasted him away. When I pulled up to avoiding a mid air I saw green tracers comming from the tail gunner. he ripped my port wing off by the root and I had to eject. Survived but got captured..
