Hello,

Seafirelover organise une campagne Online ayant pour thème l'opération Torch, Oran 42, et cherche des pilotes ...

http://patrulla-azul.com/FreeIL2modding ... 9629#p9620

EDIT:

Je suis allé trop vite, il ne s'agit pas d'une campagne, mais en fait d'une mission, durée environ 3 heures ...

Je suis intéressé, mais ca serait quand ? (tres indisponible dans les 2 mois qui suivent)
(et pour quelle version ? )

Salut,

d'après ce que je vois sur le lien indiqué par micksaf, ce serait sur HSFX7.0.3 avec un modpack spécifique pour la mission.

Hallo guys

Nice to be here on this legendary sim forum. As Mick wrote, I am seafirelover. This meant that I love carrier operations. But it is my nick for Free modding forum where I joined for specific reason some time ago. I wanted become Seafire 47 betatester, when I saw this plane as WIP. It was succesfull. Now we can fly this elegant machine in il2 world. My real name is Lubo and nick I use in online play is Letka_13/Kukulo. I am part of slovak virtual squadron Letka 13 (Flight 13). Our guys are authors of famous Il2 Slovakia map, and authors of many czechoslovak objects added to official game. Our old forum was Team Daidalos base, but after our squad leader and site admin Boose paased away, forum crashed. after few years we are back with new forum on same adress. We made many interesting online missions/events with 10-60 players, but for first time we can make online event on our forum, where is our home.


Atention!!!
We made changes in dufficulty. There will be no hud notes about throttle %, flaps, gear down/up, engine or ailerons or whatever damage. You need read you gauges to recognise that you are damaged like in real life. We remained some notes like radiator open/close because not all planes has needed gauges/istruments. Locked tail wheel uses symbol [Y] and unlocked tailwheel -Y-. Oveheating gets new symbol ~ ~ ~. Cocks and tailhook needs to be dispayed too. If your pilot is hurt, you get no warning with message, you need judge it - if you are bleeding or not. You will get no message about shot down enemy plane or damaging its controls etc. You need remember it as real pilot. You can make notes about it and after action you may write report. At this stage these difficulty oprions are nit implemented in modpack. Give us few days/hours to update it (there will be cz and eng version too).


In Oran event are some rulezzz
- every pilot has 3 lives
- you lost your life if you are killed. You lost your life if you are captured too
- planes on airfields and carriers are limited. Every unit has on game start 3 planes for every pilot (lets say unit FAA 807. sq has 4 pilots so they have 12 Seafires IIc on Furious)
- blue side has all planes on airfields on mission start and pilots will respawn into them
- if airfield or carrier lost all planes (due to enemy activity or crashes), pilot use supply airfield or carrier and gets his new plane. He set 100% fuel and than he is cleared for take of from supply airfield/carrier. He can join battle afte take of. Bomber may load bombs and fly to action from supply airfield too. After action they land on their homebases. Game mechanism count their planes into airfield/carrier as new. Than pilot can fly from his homebase. It is possible that pilot after landing on his homebase will not get his plane back, because onother pilot uses it. This we cannot change, it is game mechanism. Pilot without plane needs take of from supply airfield/carrier again
- supply airfield/carrier IS NOT TARGET!!! You will be informed about supply airfield/carrier position to prevent attack it. Supply airfield/carrier will be guarded by strong AAA to prevent attack it
- other airfields and carriers are normal targets, so you need guard them
- strafing or vulching planes on airfields/carriers is ok for this mission (not for supply airfield/carrier of course)

For planeset take a look on our new forum: http://www.letka13.sk/forum/viewtopic.p ... 6d96f60e65
There will be hidden topics for blues and reds too. There pilots may discuss tactits and will get some more info about mission. If there will be more english speaking players signed into mission, we will make english speaking topics for them. Trening server will be ready too. So you will have enaught time to learn fly your plane and know your its instruments. Or you can discuss tactics on TS (adress is upper)

We need blue pilots. This mission is not designed for pilots who love Bf-109 or Fw-190 (which is not problem in lets say classic planesets), but using D-520 as primary fighter for missions means that most Bf-109 or Fw-190 pilots are not interested. So according to my opinion the best option for our mission is ask original french pilots to join. I suppose it will be pleasure for them fly D-520. I suppose that this pleasure is simalar to our pilots when we fly Avia B-534 which was build in pre war Czechoslovakia.

PS: I can not speak french. Only english, I am not englishman and my english is not perfect. But if you have anything unclear, ak me here in topic or via PM (personal message).

Guys, looks like Dewoitines are popular in our community. I am amazed. So at this time 10 Dewoitines left free for you and 9 bombers (5x LEO-451, 4xDB-7).

So if you want fly with us (we will be happy of course), let me know as fast as possible which plane.

I flew two great online campaigns with Histo guys. So great times we had together. So we have some experience with communication with french pilots (in english. But it was allway fun. For both sides I believe).

EDIT: outdated

Hi Kukulo,

I am identifying some french-speaking pilots wishing to participate to this mission. But for the moment, interested pilots would prefer to fly on SeaHurricane or Seafire from the Red side ... I have 3 to 5 pilots motivated, census in progress ... Maybe the french pilots of the JG13 and the JG27 squadrons will be interested to fly Dewoitines ...

Hi Tabarnak

There is one squadron with all 6 pilot slots free, namely 800. sq with Sea Hurricanes IIb/c. So if it is possible, let me know nicks I will add them. As soon as possible. It is good when all pilots in squadron speak same language. It is good if minimally one of them is speaking english to communicate with other squadrons via TS.

We found some bugs in modpack, so we are testing heavily to minimalize bugs. When modpack will be ready I wil inform you. I believe it will be ready tommorow or in few days.

Do not forget that difficulty in mission will be hard, this mean you need know your instrumments (no speedbar, no altitutte). For Flaps you will not get message (flaps take of etc), you need know instrument (all planes in mission have animated instruments for flaps) etc. In modpack you will see what is turned of in messages. Server for training will be set up in few days (we have delay caused by bugs in modpack).

Can you point pilots from JG13 and JG27 here, please? Or where I can contact them? We have still 8xD-520 free and 9 bombers too (at this time).

I place a message on the JG13 forum.
I'm have lot of work during the 2 next month. But maybe some pilot of our squadron will come

WE HAVE TRENING SERVER 24/7, IP + PASS IN POST NO.3


EDIT: edited to fit news

Thanks for the information, I send it to the interested french pilots

Guys, please check download link for modpack. I am sorry, but we found problem in Sea Hurricane IIb WEP settings (which is important for red pilots because we have no message WEP on screen, and pilots know that WEP is turned on according instruments - increase manifold pressure and increase RPM). Newest modpack is called SFS Operation Torch - Oran final en

Server is working and waiting for your visit guys. Hope meet you there soon

Je serais aussi éventuellement intéressé, à confirmer.

I'm also interested, i have to check my disponibility. I will confirm later.

For my side, the list of interested pilots is :

- 615sqn_Icare (SeaHurricane)
- 615sqn_Savoyard (Seafire)
- NNFFL=Zorba= (... pas de préférence ...)
- Tabarnak (... pas de préférence ...)
- Touco (... pas de préférence ...)

Hallo Tabarnak.

Great news from you! Wellcome onboard! I added you with 615sqn_Savoyard to fly Seafire. It is better fly as pair, not alone. Others are in Sea Hurricane sqaudron. Let me know that it is OK or not for you. Other option is all your pilots fly in Sea Hurricane squadron together. Will send you PM about your carriers.

I added red side planeset and pilot slots to post nm. 4. There is trening server adress and pass too. Please join to server and test you connection. Let me know if you have any problems in conection, or if you see bugs in modpack. Server is ready 24/7 for you. We will test event mission map so sometimes will be server closed for public. So try landing, take of, climbing, cruise speed, range of your aircraft, try dogtfights (on testing map are airfields where you can take of and test dogfighting), try how you can fly on lets say hardcore settings without notes about gear Up/down, without WEP message (you will sea increase in manifold preasure and RPM instruments) etc. Every pilot really needs training with his plane to prevent to be confused with hard difficulty settings. Carrier landing is always hard job, so pilots need practise. My way is find data sheets or pilots manual or notes for plane I fly in event and fly more or less according these manuals. You need check instruments what units they use - speedmeter is in mph or knots for example. Ingame Seafire IIc (which I will fly in event) uses knots but on speedmeter instrument is written "mph" for example (you can check it in QMB, compare speedmeter in cockpit with speed bar in left corner of your monitor screen. If speed on speedmeter in cockpit is 100 and speedbar in left corner of monitor screen shows 180kph it means that cockpit speedmeter uses knots. If speedbar in left corner shows 160kph it means that cockpit speedmeter is in mph. But I suppose you know how do it).

And we still have free slots on blue side too.

Thanks you for this precisions, for the takeoffs an landings, it is ok for me. But I think we have to get used to flying without any confirmation message.

Sadly Touco could not flying with us any more the 29 of december ...

Hi, I'll be here on the 29th but not for tonight

(615sqn_Savoyard)

No problem. See ya tommorow.

I confirm my participation Friday

Me too

Me too

Nice. See ya soon guys

Hi Kukulo,

thank you for organizing the event and for your hospitality. The scenario was well built and animations well present on the entire map for a good immersion during flights.

Do not hesitate to inform us for next events.

Some suggestions for improvements:
- We had some freeze during the mission, some of them resulted in pilot crashes
- Forced the communication in English during inter-channel conversations
- Better coordination of the different actions between groups
- Impossibility to defend the Binter during the 1st attack with only 3 to 4 Hurricanes, resulting in the loss of the aircraft carrier and all our aircrafts after only 15 minutes of mission ...

Everything else was very good !!!

Cheers

Tab

Hi all

Sorry for late reply. I was on holiday with familly.

First all the best to new Year 2018! Happy landings and good aim if is needed!


Well about freezing... not all was in our hands. If those freezes were not spoted on trainings they were maybe caused by some objects on event map. Not sure. Of course if crash is caused by freeze than this can not be counted as lost life. Not all players had freezing.

Forced communication - this need to be fixed on our side

Better coordination - I supposed this problem, so I tried find red leader. But no success. Maybe need better diplomacy on my side to find red/blue side leaders. Event was prepared for 52 pilots, but only half signed in. Not many poeple was interested in flying. For leader it is the best to not to be pilot in event. So find this man is bigger problem than find pilots. On some events we had leaders, other events were without leaders. But it was interesting to see how each side used improvisation.

According to reports, blues aimed for carriers in first event minutes. But tey had big problem find anything in that fog. Well when they found something. it was small escort carrier so for experienced bombers it was no problem destroy it. No other attacks were made on carriers in event. One was prepared, but Albacores met Bostons on their way to carriers and cancelleled their mission. All Albacores were lost, but Bostons did not reach their objective.


From my point of view, this event needed two things to get better level - each side generals/admirals and radar on red side to intercept raids against carriers and help own fighters/bombers find carriers.

I enjoyed event, because I am carrier fan. There were many reports about missions and pilots were happy to join us. So this is most important for us. Thank you for flying with us, it was pleasure hear you and see you fight over virtual hot sand of North Africa.


Well, looks like something is cooking for next event... See Lancasters, deep night and large La Chute map... Hope soon...
