####### Important, Maps updated occasionally to show correct situation! #######.

The map here shows the primary goals we need to capture. Please note that the blue stars indicate the cities the FRY need to occupy in order to beat us! We will need to occupy the 8 main city objectives in order to complete the campaign using ground forces moving East from Slovenija & Croatia.

Goals are: Bijeljina City, Vlasencia, Novi Sad, Zrenjanin, Stepojevac, Sabac, Mionica & Beograd.

Please don't download the maps, it will slow down the server and they're low res anyhow!

This map shows the current theater assets. For NATO, the yellow stars designate air bases with support aircraft only while the blue stars designate ones with either attack/sweep aircraft only or attack/sweep/support units. The FRY airbases and assets are designated by red stars. Below that is a link to a break down of what asset is at each air base. Some bases are listed twice depending on whether they contain both support and attack units.

Something tells me I will be the Scott O'Grady of this campaign

Looking forward to it regardless

Looking forward to it

Doh... moved from Korea thread...


Hey guys,

So, we got our butts handed to us last night. No big deal, it will make the victory that much sweeter.

In the discussion following the flying, we were looking at the reasons why and we decided to take the discussion here.

Basically the problem is the R-77. Its the Russian version of the AMRAAM and when the enemy carries it, they have tactical parity (if not a slight advantage) over us depending on what version of the AMRAAM you are carrying.

Thankfully, only a few jets carry this weapon. The Mig-29A and SU-27, along with anything older, do not.

The Mig-29S and SU-27S or anything later DO. Those are the jets that will give us problems.

This missile has a longer range (80KM) then anything we can carry except the AIM-120C-5 (82KM). The AIM-120B is just short at 75KM. The AIM-120C-4 falls far short so, avoid it if you think you are going to fight R-77 carriers.

So, how do we defeat these guys? Tactics and teamwork.

I spent the morning reading through some books but did not find what I was looking for. I presume the book that I have that did explain good AMRAAM tactics is in storage. Thankfully, I am going there today and will look through my books for it. I might also go to Barnes and Noble to do some reading.

However, there are a lot of smart guys here so, if you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them.

Also, great background reading for the campaign...

hello,

drat, I could not catch the flight, some business taken care of...
but, will try next saturday,
so how went initial attack, targets hit, or wiped out by su's ?
that wouldn't happen if I were there , LMAO


btw, that campaign is reserved for saturdays only, or by, i don't know, random maybe...
(sorry to ask that stupid, I guess, million time asked question, but my weekends are mostly sold out in advance, so to speak, i prefer
sun through fri, when i am at "office" and I WOULD like to fly with You guys, I guess that's honest)

cheers
white_fang

Hey White_Fang,
You sure didn't miss much. We spent most of the evening setting up the campaign and tried to run a flight but had problems. We're new to the theater so just some initial growing pains for sure. Saturday is the only day I can run it. I tried to figure out a day that would work for a certain number of pilots. I won't be running it any other times unfortunately. The server is up from 6PM Pacific time to around 9:30. Just so you know we had a full house this last time. I can host 10 comfortably and that's the limit I'm afraid. If you want to fly, just try to be on early like maybe 10 to 15 minutes before 6. Some leave early so slots have been opening up after the first flight or two.

Hi guys. Been lurking for awhile here. I too would love to fly with you guys, but my Saturdays are also almost always spent working at a job I hate and am trying to get rid of for a better one, but thats another story. I guess I'll just have to be content with reading your debriefings for now. I just started flying 4.0AF after learning how to fly again on Superpak and Freefalcon recently. Had attempted to come back a few times but was intimidated by the dance of patches. Finally forced myself to dive in and glad I did.

Flying with Striker and the boys is the kind of fun that I think Gilman Louie had in mind oh so many years ago.

This is fun on a huge scale for me. I have had some memorable LAN meets with a buddy that lost his taste for simming but, this takes the cake. Flying with these guys is a really good time.

Its worth the Saturday night (for an old married guy w/ 2 kids)

And I might have to miss it this week. My birthday is Thursday and I think I might miss the flight

I'm going to miss this Saturday as well.
It's my 16th wedding anniversary and If I'm flying I may not make it to 17yrs.
Although I could possibly make a Sunday night session with it being Labor Day weekend and having Monday off.

Yeah, if it was moved to another night because of the weekend, I would make it.

No more "Generation Kill" on Sundays, so no conflict

UTR, that sounds like it's going to be one hell of a birthday party! Starts Thursday and ends???

Regarding the "Charge of the Light Brigade" beginning of the campaign last Saturday...

I might not have been clear when discussing the option to restart and go after air superiority, given the death toll due to MiGs. I was suggesting that as the aim of the FIRST mission, not as a campaign goal for the foreseeable future and many missions. Given the incredible high rate of loss we suffered, that seems not only wise according to doctrine, but also wise regarding loadouts. Difficult to be nimble and deal with the quite capable MiG 29s and their R-77 stingers -- when most of us are loaded down with strike weapons and no one is flying air superiority or TARCAP missions.

Exposing our limited number of human pilots to air attack without cover and without air superiority seems like an invitation to exactly the kind of losses we suffered both times Saturday.

On the otherhand, even in the poor configuration we used, both times we knocked down double-digit numbers of MiGs. Imagine the resulting balance of forces if we accomplished the same rate of kills but preserved our own stinking hides, perhaps losing only one or two airframes.

The impact on campaign time consumed is only a matter of a couple hours, but we would gain a measure of security to then move ahead with strike operations in support of the ground war.

And this from one perfectly willing to take on the suicide Hail Mary Beograd area strikes, any time!

Oddly, it is turning into quite a shindig!

The original plan was dinner with a few couples at my favorite hibachi joint on Saturday night. Mai-Tais!!!!

My one buddy was supposed to be getting married on that night. He broke up with his girl but, they had a 1/3rd non-refundable deposit on the banquet room. When my wife called to invite him, they were discussing his situation and he came up with the idea of using that place to have the party. The deposit is non-refundable and paid for 1/3rd (60/180) of the guests so, we might as well get something out of it... buffet food, top shelf hooch...

It's a weird situation, I don't know if I am gonna do it but, it has the potential to be a pretty memorable night.

Any of the Striker's crowd from Jersey?

Shaping up to be memorable!
Striker's in California. Recluse is our Jersey guy. Neph too, who has flown with us on occasion.

I know what you mean Eugene so it's all good. I think we're going to do fine so I'm not going to worry about anything. I knew that the first few weeks of this campaign would be very difficult. Actually, compared to how crappy we did at the start of the Korea campaign, we're actually doing much better. We're actually stopping and thinking more about the best course of action to take.

I'm going to spend a lot of time this week going over the assets at each air base and how we can use them effectively. I plan on setting up a bunch of CAS, Interdiction and Sweep flights before we fly this coming Saturday. We'll have plenty of help out there this time I can assure you of that. We're going to pound the crap out of their ground units while we hit them with a wall of A2A.

I will be posting the list of all airbase assets before this coming Saturday so keep an eye out for it!


I totally understand. I'll be here for anyone that wants to fly this Saturday and if anyone wants to fly on Sunday, let me know by PM and we'll run the campaign for awhile then too!

I will be here Saturday and Eugen for the love of god Check your PM's

Given the threat level re PM's...checking!

Thanks UTR!! Keep up the good work.

Striker,

I hope you can fit me into a minor role for the Balkans 2005 Saturday Night Campaign.
I was lurking on TS last Saturday Night. Sounded like a fun bunch.

I live in CA. What's your ETD? I have you on my ICQ contact list. I'll drop you a note.

You're welcome to join us. I just don't have any control on how many show up. Last week we had exactly 10 and that's my limit. As far as managing the campaign I don't think I could handle any more than that anyhow. This week should be lighter because of the holiday but I'll be here. Sunday too I'm thinking but not exactly sure what time.

All maps have been updated and should be complete now. Please let me know if you would like me to email them to you in high res.

My F4:AF installed version is 1.0.13.80119. I have it set to update on auto.
Is this a good thing for compatibility?
As I have been flying other sims + a new X52 control sys + a Win XP rebuild,,, I am weak in F4, but like your idea of a LAN party.
I hope to be lurking on TS around 6 PM Sat.

Your preparation and attention to detail with preflight is fascinating.
For me,, it's like starting to learn a new sim. You may know my fav is still TAW.
F4 is like flying blind v TAW's glass pit.
Pandion has helped me, in the past, to familiarize me with the F4 pit buttons.
All of witch is out of my memory except that I found it fun, but detailed.

As I seem to be starting from scratch again with my F4 practice, I just hope I can bring my bird back home alive.
TS & a hi-speed server (Comcast) makes it possible to fly with friends online.
That is my passion.

If there is a place for me, as one of the ten, I would be happy to play a minor roll. Otherwise, let the best join 1st.
I can be content to learn by just lurking on TS.
I will print the maps you have provided. God's speed.

i'll try to make it tonight

OK .... for anyone who wants it .... here is the link for the keybind file for the Falcon 4: Allied Force channel on the SimHQ TS server:

Cheers

P.S. Anyone who has already downloaded this file please re-download it again as I have just fine tuned it a little.

So, what did I miss?

I was a late joiner last night,my apologies; thanks Striker and all for the two missions I was able to participate in. I had a great time. Well done leading the first flight I was in Peppergomez; nice display not taking the bait and chasing those MiGs into hostile ADA. Same goes to Striker leading the last hop of the evening. A pleasure to fly with all of you.

Thanks Striker for the fun. Great job dealing with this newbe.
You did a great job pulling it all together.
Thanks for the help & fitting me in with all you pros.

One debrief.
This is the 2nd flight I was in;
Maj. Scott Hicks PILOT SLOT 1
LtC. Fanatik PILOT SLOT 2
Capt. Shadow PILOT SLOT 3
2Lt. Hawkx PILOT SLOT 4

Mission Type: BAI
Flight Callsign: Weasel1
4 Ship Flight
Ac type: F-16C-50 CCIP
Country: Slovenian



I tixied out to the active, launched & joined up.
I was no help but got my bird back home alive & landed without damage.

Actually, that's all the time I had to practice since I revived F4:AF
Take off, nav to the SPs, get back to base & land alive.
It's a long story,, but I have a lot going right now.

A fun group. Thanks all.

I never knew this good old F4 sim had all of that stuff in it.

Now I'm jazzed to practice, practice, practice.

Hawkx

Glad you guys had a good time. I think this is going to be a great campaign and I really appreciate you all wanting to contribute.

We're running the campaign again Sunday at 6 PST for anyone that missed Saturday. We'll be on till 9 probably.

An other fun flight set up by Striker.
Thanks for the fun guys.

For any of you that missed this weekend, you really missed a major FRY clobbering! We took out so many targets it's going to be hard to list them all. After starting out a little shaky last Saturday we were able to collect ourselves and go on the offensive. The situation for the campaign is now listed as "Excellent".

Air opposition was knocked out for the most part in the first three or four hours and the Southern coastal region of Montenegro has been almost completely cleared of enemy ground units. We're at 17:00 on the first day and things are looking very good indeed! Hopefully no other countries will decide to come in on the side of the Serbians....hmm....very doubtful but one can always hope.

Debriefing to follow......

The debriefs speak for themselves. Everyone did an awesome job taking out the ground units and supporting the strike flights.

Intel: Dubrovnik, Tivat and Podgorica are about to fall to the allies. FRY units have tried to regroup around Tivat to move to Podgorica but ended up getting pounded by allied A-10's and F-16's. F/A-18's from Lamezia were able to get into Beograd and take out both runways effectively taking their elite Mig-29SM squadrons out of action for the time being. A-10's and Harriers also pounded FRY ground forces near Bijalina City paving the way for our ground units to move East. The skies have been effectively keep clear by F-15 from Maribor and Mirage 2000C's from Grosseto.

Intel: Most of the remaining forces in Tivat gave up and fled North. Intelligence believes they intend to regroup near Cma Gora. There continue to be scattered FRY units around the city of Podgorica & Tivat. Allied air units continue to deal with these stragglers. NATO should be able to gain control of the Southern coastal region of Montenegro within the first 24 hours. FRY units to the North on the border of Boznia have begun pulling back towards Beograd and several of their major air bases have been put out of action. Although severely weakened and retreating, allied commanders believe this pull back mostly to be a ploy and the FRY forces are stronger than originally stated.

Looking Forward to tommorow Night

F4:AF Balkans 2005 LAN TS online 6PM PT 9/6/2008

I'll be there tonight

Guys sorry to miss a second weekend of the new campaign! Have a prior engagement. But if available before close of ops tonight, will see you then. Otherwise...Clear skies. See you next week.

Hi Guys. I'm available tonight for some flying.

Another GREAT night! Thanks again!

Some things from chat:

I need the campaign file from Korea to play out and get my pilot credit, please.

I need the pilot file reader to get the details about when my promo will come.

Evidently there is a better 3rd party 3-D pit I can use. I looked at aeyes site but, everything seems to be for 16x9 monitors. Anyone know of a better 3-D pit then AF ships with for 4:3 monitors?

Thanks!

Hi UTR,

I believe that the Ayes cockpits are compatible with all monitors. Someone can probably correct me on this but they add the support for the wide screen monitors but include most other resolutions.

Please PM me your email address and I'll send you the campaign file from Korea.

sorry i missed sat's flight- went on a surfing trip at 4:30am on sunday, so needed to go to bed early on sat.

Thanks Pepper. We'll catch you next time you can make it.

Mr. OC, Sir,

Could you pls give a little description of what this file does?

Thanks!

The file just presets some key sequences in Teamspeak to do things like change channels and to broadcast to all channels (this function should be primarily used by the person filling the Flight Lead seat for coord between flights) whilst in game.

Now while I have designed the key binds file to use specific keys and key sequences, that doesn't mean that the selected keys and sequences are set in stone :). If anyone wants to change any or all of them its a fairly easy procedure and if you need help doing this it can be discussed during planning online before we start flying.

Hope that helps ....

Cheers

you guys should request some flight channels.

Ok I imported the file, now I will take a shot at trying to modify my Cougar files to use these commands.

Thanks!

Looks like you guys have been having all the fun. Don't worry, I'll be back.

Another excellent night of flying. We made it through the entire evening without a single loss from our squadron. TARCAP did an excellent job even though they didn't see a lot of action. All ground attackers are doing a great job of target identification and scoring a significant number of kills.

Tivat and Podgorica have been cleared of enemy presence. There remain some scattered infantry platoons North of Tivat but they don't pose any threat to our ground units. All AAA and Air defense battalions have been cleared from the Southern region of Montenegro.

Our ground forces consisting of M1A1 tank battalions are withing striking distance of Tivat. After they move in they will be followed by Engineering and Supply battalions. Headquarters wants to take over Tivat as a forward air base so securing this region will be top priority. Most heavy concentrations of enemy armored units are too far North to pose any threat to our operations in this vicinity but local units should remain on high alert of any enemy counter-strikes.

A group of T-80's have been spotted moving SW from Ivangrad towards Podgorica. These units could be a significant threat to our ground forces moving to Tivat and Podgorica Air Bases. Ivangrad is believed to be semi-operational, enough to start launching Mig-29SM fighters again. These aircraft pose a MAJOR threat to our air operations! It is highly recommended to shut down this air base down for good if possible.

I just wanted to mention to everyone that we have probably lost a great pilot and friend from our campaign operations. TheShadow informed me that he's having technical problems because his ISP changed the components used for local connect to a wireless system that has poor speed. He's going to work on it to see if it can be improved on but he's not very confident at this time. I especially would like to thank him and honor him for his contributions in the areas of knowledge and flying skills. He's been with us since the beginning of the Korea campaign and it won't be the same without him. Thank you Shadow and hopefully you'll be back again at some point.

Say it isn't so! Shadow isn't only a fine pilot. He always brings something exra along that makes these evenings such a pleasure. Just come back soon,
Shadow!

Not the Shadow Damn hope he gets it all worked out

Thanks guys for all of those kind words. I really looked forward to the weekends missions over the past few months with everyone. I couldn't have found a better bunch of blokes to team up with.....gonna miss those sunday mornings campaign.

Hopefully they can do something or suggest something to make this connection work a lot better because it's just rubbish right now.

I'll keep reading the debriefs that Striker post's and maybe with a bit of luck I'll be back flying with everyone one day.


TheShadow

Shadow

Thanks for your help. Hurry back,, I bet you will find a way.

I hope I can fit in somewhere in the "Striker F4:AF Saturday Night Campaign" LAN Party.

Damn Shadow, that sucks.
I hope you can get it worked out.

Take care buddy.

DawgMan Out!

Good work again people. We continue to eliminate significant numbers of FRY ground forces as we gain ground in the Southern region of Montenegro. Stats as follows.

Enemy presence in the Southern region of Montenegro has been completely removed and is under control of the Allies. There remain a small number of infantry just North of Podgorica but appear to be on the run North. Podgorica Airbase has been taken over as well. Engineering units from Bosnia and Croatia are moving Southeast to occupy and repair the runways and facilities at Tivat and Podgorica, ETA 6 hours. Ivangrad Airbase continues to be a potential threat and it's imperative that the runways be kept out of action.

NEW DEVELOPMENT: Albania has decided to enter the conflict on the side of the Allies. The Albanian embassy in a final move to prevent involvement sent it's Ambassador to Beograd in to talk to the FRY leaders was unproductive and constant warnings of FRY Su-25 aircraft overflying Albanian airspace and enemy ground units crossing into Albanian territory went unheeded. Albanian special forces are in the process of extricating FRY units from border regions at this time. Allied leaders have assured the Albanian government that they will receive their full support.

Glad to have you back!

Striker,

The more I practice F4:AF, the more I appreciate this sim.
I enjoy & learn more about flying F4 with your Sat night LAN pilots online.
I would like to fit in & be more useful.

I'm taking it step by step.
1st, I needed to upgrade my box. Done.
2nd, I need to program my Saitek X52 Jstick controller. That's in progress.
3rd, Lots of practice on my own.

I could use some help,, when you have time.
Please pass on a few suggestions about the most important key presses you use.
My reference is the F4 keymap html ,,
C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations\docs

What controller do you use?
Maybe you could just pass on one of your most used F4 jstick profiles.
Email sent.

Thanks for the fun.

Basically I want my HOTAS to be as simple as possible so that it becomes muscle memory as soon as possible. I went with the philosophy of "things I would need in a fight" only.

I will be late tomorrow... a good friend is throwing a party but, we are bringing the kids so I have an excuse to get home and play I will almost certainly miss the first sortie but hope to be home and sober enough for the 2nd hop

Good Hunting!

This is what we need to drop after a runway strike... unfortunately it's not modeled in F4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBU-89_Gator

Can set timer for 15 days on the mines to deny access to an area!!!

We struck Ivangrad Airbase, a primary Serbian base for Mig-29SM front line fighter aircraft. The airbase had been hit several times before but engineering units were able to repair the runways and bring it back on line within a couple hours of each strike. Because the airbase presented a major threat to Allied air operations, the decision was made to remove as much enemy presence as possible.

Fighters from the 78th Squadron based at Brindisi staged a bold early evening strike and decimated the engineering units stationed there. 98% of the units were disabled or destroyed and subsequently surrendered to the allies. The 78th also staged another early evening raid on Sjenica airbase, a main front line base for the Mig-21Mbis front line fighters. Again they were able to shut the runway and remove the majority of the engineering and air defense units supporting the base.

U2 recon flights have detected major ground movements around Lepa Glava airbase. Serbian ground forces are moving towards this airbase in effort to protect this asset.

Albania has fully committed itself to the war effort at this time and are massing on the Northern border. They have started to move slowly towards the North taking bridges and towns that were sympathetic to the FRY forces. The Allies continue to control the Southern region of Montenegro and mass forces of the Western border of Serbia.

Looking forward hopefully to being back in the Air Sat

I'm going to miss this Sat.
Damn, I hate it when I miss two Saturday's in a row.
Try not to finish the campaign without me.

DawgMan Out!

Same here, guys. I think a lot of us have had RL matters that took us away lately. But I think a "groove" is set for some Falcon flying on line Saturdays, no matter what. Most of us who miss from time to time have no intention of dropping out - just can't make it every single Saturday.

This campaign is going to be running for quite awhile so don't bum out if you can't make it. The flights are getting longer now and just that alone will slow the progress down. We ran three missions last Saturday but I can see already it's not possible to do that from here on out. We're starting to get into 35-40 minute's one way per sortie.

I am happy to report I will not be missing 2 weeks in a row. REALLY looking forward to this weeks session!

I am happy to report,, the fun with this good old sim just keeps on giving.
Thanks to my new box, Striker, & all the helpful Saturday Campaign pro pilots.

The only way to learn how to fly F4:AF is with real sim nuts, online with TS voice comms.
Thanks for the fun.

Two deep strikes were scheduled to take out the SAM's located at Lepa Glava Airbase. The first flight was only able to succeed partially and a second flight was needed to finish the job. The SAM threats have been eliminated and a portion of the AAA have been removed as well. We lost a couple air frames during the operations but the escort flights were able to down several Mig's, keeping the air threats off of the strike group. The first strike group was also able to put the runway out of action for the time being.

Lepa Glava Airbase is still partially open and it's 5 squadrons of Mig-21's can still pose a threat to our air operations. The runway has been partially destroyed but the engineering squadrons are busy repairing the damage. We expect the base to be back up to operational status in a couple hours. It will be necessary to run several follow up strikes to eliminate the engineering battalions and remaining air defense units stationed there.

At least 8 FRY mechanized battalions are located West and Southwest of the Airbase. Also, there are several squadrons of J-22 and G-4's located at Kraljevo Airbase to the East. These units only pose a threat to our ground forces but there are also two AN-24 squadrons stationed there. These units are the primary resupply for the entire Serbian region. Command has flagged this airbase as a major target because of their resupply ability!

Gentlemen,
I forgot to mention last Saturday that I will be out of town this coming Halloween weekend. I will try to get the briefings up from the last two weekends before I travel. We will pick the campaign back up on the following Saturday, November 8th. Thanks for all your participation, support and hard work!
Striker

Oh well, the wife wanted to go see "Zack and Miri" anyway...

Well now what are we supposed to do????? J/K .... Well if anyone still wants to fly I would be happy to get something going .... maybe some TE's or something? Or I guess we could head over to Multivipers for some flying

Cheers

That's pretty funny UTR!
I'm back and we'll be back into the campaign this Saturday.
Anyone that wants to participate, I'll be on just before 6PM PST.

Glad I didn't miss anything. I had to do the haunted house thing Sat. and the place we went to had 3 haunted houses plus a mile long haunted trail. Needless to say, I was gone for the night. It was worth it though. Probably the best I'd experienced. They sunk a boatload of money into this place.

See ya'll Sat.

DawgMan Out!

I will be out of town this Saturday, but will be back for the next.

The primary goal of the first set of missions were to destroy the armored units in the vicinity East of Lepa Glava and West of Kraljevo. As the flights entered the kill box AWACS warned of flights of Mig-29 approaching. We were able to down several of the Mig's but were surprised that they were around in the first place. All air bases with 29's stationed had been shut down.

After returning to base and checking with Intel we found that all the fighter squadrons were transferred to Ohrid Airbase far to the Southeast. The next flight had to be tasked with shutting this new threat down. We were able to do a second pre-dawn surprise attack and shut down the base by destroying the runways.

Ohrid still remains a potential threat. Intel gathered on the last strike flight shows a surprising number of engineering units stationed there. Air defense levels remain high there as well. Intel strongly urges another pre-dawn strike to eliminate these units and prevent the base from becoming operational again. Ohrid Airbase must be shut down in order to ensure a safe operational level for our fighter and strike aircraft.

Intel from the previous flights had determined that Ohrid Airbase still posed a significant threat because of the high number of engineering units stationed there. The first two flights were tasked with wiping out any air defenses and engineering stationed there. Both flights were successful in destroying 99% of the remaining ground units and caused additional damage to the runway.

After successfully attacking Ohrid the final flight directed it's attention back to the area East of Lepa Glava and West of Kraljevo. We were able to take out a significant number of ground units although a very large number of them still remain in the area.

The remaining ground forces in the area between Lepa Glava, Kraljevo and Sjenica should be considered a major threat to our ground operations. It is imperative that all available air power be tasked with eliminating as many of these units as possible.

Guys I have some other RL commitments this weekend so I will have to miss this week's session. So I will wish you all good hunting and will cya's next week.

Cheers

Same here. I'll catch you all next week.

I'm looking forward to Striker's 11-14-08 Saturday Campaign.
See you on TS around 6PM PT.

Hi Gentlemen,

I'm really sorry to say that I have to move earlier than I originally thought. I'm actually moving this Saturday and my internet service gets cut on Wednesday. I don't have any realistic hope for any reliable connection where I'm moving to. I will have internet access but it's very poor quality satelite and the delay time is mind numbingly bad. I'll try to keep up with the boards from time to time. I'm thinking that some time near June or July I'll be able to get back into the pit again.

If anyone would like a copy of the campaign and try hosting it, I might be able to join and fly but I kind of doubt it. All I can do is try but I'm not too optimistic. Otherwise, if you guys don't mind a delay to the campaign, we can always pick it back up when I get back to a good connection again. If anyone wants to try hosting let me know and I'll send you the files.

See you soon hopefully,
Striker

Well that sucks Striker. Good luck with the move and everything else. Hopefully the guys will gather on TS on Saturdays and get some flights together.

Good luck & happy landing in Barstow Striker.

I join DawgMan in hoping we find another leader for our Saturday Campaign gathering on TS.

Striker,

Again, I can not thank you enough for the joy and entertainment you have provided. I have been simming for over 20 years and the past few months have been the highlight of that time. I never had as much fun or satisfaction as I had playing on your server with these guys. I can not tell you how much I will miss it.

I wish you nothing but the best in your travels. I look forward to the day when I can again not find the targets you are obliterating

Hope to see you guys at Multi-Viper or some other similar place.

Grrr... I still can't believe I missed the fight w/ the Kuznetsov!!!!!!!

Hey bummer dude... I've been gone most of the last week on the fires we've had here in Southern Califonia so I missed last saturdays event, but I'm really bummed to hear that its coming to an end... you've done a great job Striker and its been much appreciated by yours truely... I doubt anyone else would be willing to have the patience and do the work involved to make the event happen the way you did, so I guess we'll just have to get pick up flights when we can... I'll look for you all in the SimHQ TS guys...

P.S. ... I have a friend in Barstow that has Roadrunner cable service available to him there.. I don't know if the area you moving to doesn't have it, but I thought I'd mention it in case you missed them in your search for internet service... Good luck with the move and good fortune to you....

Hey guys!

Man, I really appreciate the good words from all of you. It means a lot to me. It's been a lot of work but I really looked forward to the Saturday flight nights. I'm not totally out yet. I need to check with Verizon because they're the local DSL here. Unfortunately I can't use Roadrunner because this is actually 20 miles East of Barstow and the only thing available is Hughesnet for internet service at this time.

Verizon ran the fiber optic for the post office down the street so I'm thinking it should be soon for the DSL service but don't know for sure when they'll make it available. I'll keep the campaign on hold until I can work out the connection issue. I may still be able to host it but we'll have to try it some night in just a test only. I'll let you all know when I get my office set up and we'll give it a shot.

Striker My friend Sorry I havent been around work is killing me I really appreciate all the hard work you have put into this campaign and I wish you well in your move see ya soon. Ill see you over Korea again my friend

Striker,

Now I get it,,,


You are moving to Barstow,,, Right?
Well not exactly,,, You are moving 20 miles East of Barstow ,,, Right.
NOW,,, come on,, This is a joke,,, right Striker?

Not only is Barstow in the middle of NO-where,,, 20 miles East of Barstow IS NO-WHERE.



You really had me going. I'l bite,,



Where are you really going??

No joke, it's a place called Newberry Springs. Right in the middle North and South between I40 and I15. It's almost exactly 20 miles East of Barstow.

Striker,

Just as I suspected.

Look it up.



If it's south of Harvard,, some one should tell "Google Maps"

It's south of Harvard.

I hope you guys know that I'm just being a wise ASS.
I'm sure Striker knows where he's going & why.
I wish Striker all the best & hope he can be back on online with a hi-speed connection sooner than later.
Last Saturday was dark on F4:AF TS.

I, for one, will miss you & your Saturday F4:AF Campaign.

Happy Thanksgiving, Friends.

I am at my parents house and will be traveling back home this weekend so, I will not be on again but next week I will be looking for a sortie or 3

Likewise, UTR. Would enjoy getting together for a group outing in lovely Balkans or Korea with the gang, perhaps next weekend. I believe any of us should be able to host; I'd be happy to try.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

I'm almost settled in and I'm going to be checking with Verizon this coming week on the DSL situation. I checked the up and down speed of our current one and it's 1.08MB/256 and 900ms so it's basically crap for gaming, at least hosting anyhow. Hopefully I'll only be staying here for the short term and I can relocate to a place with better service some time near April. Sooner if possible.

Hey Striker! Good to hear from you. At least you DO have internet service now, and that's a step in the right direction.

We've talked about this before, but it's worth repeating: you don't have to host the sim flight clients in order to continue managing a campaign (or any flight) on-line. Really. There is no need:

1. You can set up a campaign or a flight on your machine, offline and save it.

2. You send the saved files to one of us.

3. One of us hosts the sim in the normal way. You do your thing verbally. We all fly. He and you both save the mission after all have RTB.

4. You can review the results off-line, any time, as you always have done. Run the thing forward if you like, make adjustments such as setting up AI flights and so forth. Save.

5. Send the saved campaign files to the person who will host (the clients and campaign files) that next week. Or you can have that person join you online Saurday, presuming one of us can connect to you...no need even to fly - he just saves your campaign setup. We all join him, and fly as always.

6. You can either make last minute changes yourself online, or coordinate suggestions with the host who makes the changes. We fly. Then that person and you both save the campaign and we're all set.

7. Rinse and repeat.

Striker! Good to hear from you.
That's a step in the right direction.



Let's try Eugene's suggestion. 1 through 7

One of us can host.

Any volunteers?

Thanks Eugene. We talked about that idea back a few weeks ago so it's a viable solution if someone wants to try hosting. Problem is that they'd have to do so every week until I can get back up to snuff again. We're checking on another service but it's not looking very good right now. I still don't have my computers set up for gaming, been running on laptop only for the last few weeks. I've been itching to fly soon but I can't until my room is set up properly. Hopefully it won't be much longer.

I hosted my single player Balkans campaign last week. OzCougar and Kodiak joined me. I plan on doing it again this Saturday if anyone is interested. Just form up on SimHQ teamspeak as usual.

Striker Dude! Great to hear from you. You are missed. At least somebody said that they heard that someone who didn't know you said, theoretically, SOMEbody might miss you. But that's really just a rumor.

Seriously, we don't even have to have the same person host every Saturday. Just so long as someone saves the campaign, and can manage to send it to you, we're good to go. Technically, if you and anyone stay on after some flights, you could even do whatever updating of orders for the ground units and AI flight tasking you want...both of you save the campaign and then we're all set up for next time. Also, the campaign files are really tiny.

So stop making excuses about your stinking computer being in a box (you know it is possible to fly Falcon on just ONE computer?). Do you have electricity? Open the box, plug it in, and send me an ICQ. Remember ICQ? Oh, and remember TEAMSPEAK?!? Jeez, Striker, do I have to fly over there and draw you a diagram?!?! Let's get out the Magic Markers and the Big Chief Chartpak..."Earth is the third planet from the big bright yellow ball in sky."

OK, maybe you are missed.

I will be on at 9 PM EST this weekend, I am jonsing

Yeah, yeah, I know. I wish it were as simple as that. Right now I'm kind of in flux because my room isn't finished yet and I still have to renovate the storage building before I can work on my room. Unfortunately, living in the desert has some major drawbacks, like sand, getting into f**king everything!!! I should be able to start work on my room this coming week and maybe in a couple weeks I'll be able to get my computers back up and running.

I know the files are tiny. I'm happy to send them along as soon as I get my system back up and connected. I also have to run the LAN and TV wiring so that's part of the program in the next couple weeks along with sealing up my room from external leaks. I'm itching to get back into the cockpit ASAP so as soon as I can I'll send them to whoever can host for that evening.

Excuses, excuses. OK I understand all about sand & the desert.
You are in the middle of no where. Sand is not your only concern,,,
Let's just start a new campaign until you can get it together.

I may even have an old saved "Striker campaign file".



All we need is a volunteer CO. Any takers?
I'll be on TS around 6PM PT. Let's just fly F4:AF. Fun is #one.

I will be on tonight. We can fly my Balkans 2005 campaign if you like. It's in day 3 I believe. I'll be glad to host it like I did last week.

Stiker, good luck with that sand. We can pickup your campaign when you're ready to fly. Miss ya lots!

Hey, Dawg! I will try and make it tonight. The time is a little eary here - dinner-ish and associated futies. But I do plan on being online this evening. Be good to see you guys again. I think UTR is also planing to be around, besides Hawkx.

Very good to fly with Kodiak, Cougar, Hawx, Dawgman, and Under The Radar again. You guys are a pleasure to fly with. Thanks for hosting, Dawgman.

No problem Eugene, had good time guys. We'll do it again next week and keep the tradition alive until Striker can get back online.
DawgMan Out!

I just tried to re-install Janes F/A-18 and the setup would not run. I attempted to format the HD and re-install windows but, it would blue screen on setup. I am gonna try and fix it tonight but, there is a good chance I will need a new ND. If thats the case, I am not sure I can get up and running by the weekend. I will certainly try though, I will keep you posted.

I also got FSX Gold in the mail yesterday... wonderful time for the HD to go tits up

I need to get back u with you guys soon will see whats going on this weekend

Good luck, UTR. That's some major pain the posterior.

Raptor! Yes, come on back - the water's fine!!

So I slapped the drive in question into a working system, copied over what I wanted to save (I hope I got it all), whacked all of the partitions and made a new one. I then attempted to install on that and it appears to be working.

I really hope I can get F/A-18 up tonight. As much as I love Falcon, I really miss robust virtual carrier ops!!!

No Joy. I am RMAing the drive. Unless WD shipping is REALLY quick, I will not get to play this weekend

I'll be on SimHQ TeamSpeak server tonight at 9:00pm EST if anyone want's to fly the campaign.

DawgMan Out!

Hey guys. I'm finally finishing my room this week and hopefully will have all my stuff together by the weekend. Probably not till the end of the weekend though. I'm looking forward to trying out the campaign with someone else hosting. I want to do some test runs before we take a stab at it though. Let me know if one of you will be available after this Sunday the 28th.

Hi Striker,

Merry Christmas. Glad you are getting things settled. I'm on vacation until Jan 5 so I'll be available.

DawgMan Out!

Yup, I will be here, hosting if needed.

Merry Christmas, guys

Everyone losing interest? No one showed up this week except me and Oz.

Maybe things are a little to sterile? I think we need a little excitement?

Maybe some TEs with MiGs and SAMs?

The airbase runs are a little monotonous.

What do you guys think?

I am hoping for a better turn out. Don't make me become a full-time Warhammer player!!!

Everyone losing interest? No. Not me!
The holiday season has upset my attendance.
Keep up your good work UTR.
I bet we will see more MP F4:AF Saturday Campaign players in the new year.

Hey, guys! Happy Almost New Years!! On holiday here, so not as available - but as Hawkx says, things will change in the new year. I think many of the old crowd will filter bsck. UTR, I enjoy all the missions; the ones where we had two or more groups on different missions were especially interesting. I'm happy to fly most any strike, and airbases are still appealing targets for me.
