The 352nd Virtual Fighter Group has been flying together since 2000 and in IL-2 since 2002.  We fly organized campaigns and scenarios with friendly squadrons and enjoy comraderie humor while honoring the veterans who have gone before us.  We welcome guest pilots and prospective members.

 

We are currently flying 4.11.1 with HSFX 6.  For further information please contact me via PM.

As CO of the 352ndFG, at this time we are actively investigating a switch to BOS, BOK, BOM AND BOB when it is released. We would be switching from the old stand by, IL2, or possibly incorporating it into our regular flying schedule.

Looking from a good time?  Looking for some competition?  Looking for a family?  Come check us out!  Hard to believe, but come March 2020 we will be 20 years old as an online fighter squadron.  We’ve seen it all.  We welcome all homeless pilots......

We have a joint mission coming up with the 361st, VBF12, a group of pilots flying German planes and also possibly the 332nd. 

Now ive got to figure out how to make two briefs - one for the Allies and the other for the Axis pilots. Looks like two separate emails and just a general description in the briefing screen since this is a dogfight type of mission.

Nice video Ripper. We all had fun in this joint session. Looking forward to the next one. I'm making the mission and getting input from the CO's of both Allies and Axis as to what each would like or need.

Great Decan yes these missions certainly lots of fun.

I'm sure you will all enjoy the next one. Both sides are supplying me with their radar and AAA positions which will make things very interesting and very very realistic. Since both groups will now have to try and think like the enemy and try to counter each other's planning without knowing what or where the enemy will strike or how it will be prepared.

Did something a little different with my most recent video. I did not live stream it, not quite that handy yet, but I did record one of our 352nd VFG group sessions and I uploaded that recording later that night. Took just shy of 1 hour and 49 minutes to record the flight and then just a paltry 10 hours to upload it to YouTube...

 

The video includes our TeamSpeak chatter.

I know this is a fairly long video so here are what I consider the highlights.

  • 0:00 Engine Startup
  • 5:00 Outside View lining up to takeoff
  • 6:05 Takeoff Roll
  • 35:00 Loss of Engine Power / Disorientation in a Cloud (Minute: 35:00 - 40:30)
  • 55:00 Target Area (Minute: 55:00 - 64:00)
  • 1:04:30 Mission Results screen (Minute: 64:30)
  • 1:06:00 Egress Rendezvous Area (Minute: 66:00 - 73:00)
  • 1:42:00 Group Landing (Minute: 102:00 - Video end)

I watched the entire video and really enjoyed it.  Your web site appears to be down (from the link in the OP).  Has it moved or is it defunk?

The website and forums have been down for maintenance for quite some time. We hired a company to migrate the forums from vBulletin v4 to vBulletin v5 and they did a horrible job. When we tried to get them to fix the issues they just walked away and said, not our problem.

 

PM me if you are interested in flying with us as a guest pilot or even possibly joining the group @czech693. ?

Furball over Bonninghardt

Furball over Bonninghardt
Video Source: https://youtu.be/9TGpi6KOwSg

Video was taken from the 352ndVFG Group Session of January 14, 2024. The Mission was flown on the Rheinland map.
Rheinland map @ IL-2 Mission Planner (Revived): https://serverror.github.io/IL2-Mission-Planner/#rheinland

 

Several of us were engaged with Bf-109’s and Fw-190s over and near the city of Bonninghardt in Grid 1421. As for my success during the mission let me sum it up by saying “Sometimes you are the windshield other times you are the bug…" ?
