Its an international cyber mystery. Such intrigue. Seriously somebody here must have seen it right? right?!

Video has indeed been removed it looks like.

If anyone cares, it looks like that Youtube video that is missing is more screenshots of the new Stalingrad map. I can't find a functional archive of it but using Yandex to search the URL I saw an archived frame for the video that looked like the new Stalingrad and this was the description: "New screenshots. New screenshots - YouTube. Gaming. New BoX maps - Stalingrad revamped - Air Combat Group."

We have a map of Great Onions?

Didn't you know?... it's an add on for the Boiled Beef and Carrots campaign!

Actually I think I remember now. It wasn't video footage just the same screenshots from the DD made into a side by side comparison video.

It is Veliky Luki, or however that is actually spelled in English. The two translations I know for that name are Great Onions and Great Bows - the kind that shoot arrows. Those are just literal translations, I'm sure a native speaker would be able to provide a better translation, if there is one. The map itself looks a lot like the Moscow map, lots of trees and such. It was part of the big push back to Berlin, on the southern front but a little north of Kuban, after the Stalingrad break out.

Do you have Team Speak?  If I do decide to figure it out we could do it on my TS3 server, no phone charges that way.

 

I am up for a TS session if needed as well. I did couple of them when the editor was open to everyone and will gladly do it again.

Ah yes, indeed. Now I remember.  :thank_you:

It was a slideshow with a transition like a curtain going from right to left showing the difference between old to new Stalingrad.

It gave a good impression of the big difference.

They tend to be either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Although 2.001 was on Wednesday (rather rare).

What benefit do you have from knowing the day of the week, as long as you don't know the week? :P

So I don't need to check the news on irrelevant days.

OK, I understand, you want to save your F5 key. :)

Why don't you just subscribe to the DD and Announcement forums?

Posted (edited)

Just subscribe to the DD thread or the announcements and you'll get an email. You dont need to come every day to know if it was released. You just have to come for the masochistic habit of checking even when you know there is nothing new.

 

Edit: I see gambit just said the same thing

You mean you're not here every day! (or even several times a day...)

Agreed. This is the Interweb, there is no room for logic. :angry:

I wonder if you could even take off from that mountain side???? Taxi off edge... hope for the best?

Looks like you’ll get at most 50m of take off run over very rough terrain, meaning acceleration during the run is going to suck, even if you manage to avoid breaking your landing gear. After that it looks like at most a 60 degree slope. I very much doubt that you’ll be able to gain enough speed on those 50m to allow for a slow enough rate of descend after you jump the ledge to avoid crashing into the slope.

 

A Po-2 might be able to do it.

Cliff high enough with good angle and you don't need runway ;)

Landing; carrier system

Can you put a runway there somehow? :biggrin:

P39 cockpit pictures? U-2 aerobatic video? Flying Circus models flying around Kuban? The excitement and wonder of another DD-Day.

P39 cockpit pictures?

Those have been suspiciously absent.
