That wouldn't really explain the market that there seems to be for this game, in general, since it's all about the Russian Front Air War. Something that "in the United States there is little interest or knowledge of." I'm a new pilot with Tangmere Pilots virtual squadron and I've only flown six official missions (we fly training and have fun on other weeknights) but one of our exceptional missions was flying nighttime defensive patrols over three airfields in Me-110's. It was a blast. Searchlights add a lot to the excitement.

Sorry about that. 42 minutes ago, TP_Sparky said: Searchlights add a lot to the excitement. I'm sure it's fun and challenging, too. CLiffs of Dover are adding a flyable Wellington in TF 5.0. So some, nightime, bomber vs nightfighter action will be possible there, too. I may see if I can survive at night in a Wellington when they release that.
[Reapers]-Bullshark Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 A little Question to the Developers: I´ve seen that the City Marburg (Lahn) will be a part of the new Bodenplatte map. Will Marburg look like the real Marburg at the time of the second World War? I ask, because I´am living in Marburg. When I had seen, that Marburg is a part of the Map I started dreaming of flying around the Marburg Casle with a BF 109 or something other. Marburg is a very beautiful city in the green heart of Mittelhessen. Pleeeeease. ? https://www.luftbildsuche.de/info/luftbilder/stadtansicht-innenstadt-marburg-hessen-220302.html

If the Castle is on the Hill, this would be better than good. :-) If you are living in the near of Marburg think about this: You are coming home from a long airfight in IL 2 BOB, your Base is "Schönstadt Airport" and on your way to the Airport you can see the Marburg Castle. I think that sounds very nice. :-) If you understand this: Des macht de Hesse gligglisch It's Hessischmundart and means: "That makes the Hessian lucky" ? Edited July 2, 2018 by RasendeWildsau

[Reapers]-Bullshark Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Ihr glaubt garnicht, wie sehr ich gelacht habe, als ich den Flughafen Schönstadt auf der IL2 Karte gefunden habe. Kennt den jemand? Das ist ein Acker mit 'ner Windhose. ? English: You don´t know how much i had to laugh when i had seen the "Schoenstadt Airport" at the IL2 map. Did somebody know that Airfield? That´s nothing more than a field with a vortex. ?
ER*Wumme Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Hi everybody, dear DEVS , Looking at the Bodenplatte-Map i miss a certain airfield ? ! It is called "Varrelbusch" in the North 20 km from Vechta (this town is on the map) and Cloppenburg. The JG III./ 54 was stationed there from Okt. 1944- April 1945 with multiple Focke-Wulf 190 D 9 ... The Group lost nearly 8-10 pilots at 1.January 1945 by Spitfires and flak Dear DEVs, i would appreciate when this airfield would be implemented if possible. THX
1CGS BlackSix Posted September 1, 2018 1CGS Posted September 1, 2018 Unfortunately, this airfield is outside the borders of the flight zone on our map. Vechta will be the most northerly Luftwaffe airfield.

Negative - III./JG 54 was renamed IV./JG 26 in February 1945. The reconstituted III./JG 54 (former II./ZG 76) was nowhere near Varrelbusch.
ER*Wumme Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 You are wrong Luke . read the book from Axel Urbanke The JG III./54 Mit FW 190 D 9 im Einsatz.. 450 sides stong By the way , i am from Cloppenburg , 10 km south of Varrelbusch.. I knew the Hotel Deeken in CLP where the Officers slept. Horrido

III./JG 54 became IV./JG 26 in February 1945. The reconstituted III./JG 54 was based at Grossenhain - far, far away.
Haza Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Well gents, this source mentions both, although I realise how much you hate this source Luke! https://www.asisbiz.com/Luftwaffe/jg54.html Nov 1944 - 29 Dec 1944 Varrelbusch Fw 190D 29 Dec 1944 - 5 Jan 1945 Handrup/Fürstenau Fw 190D 5 Jan 1945 - 25 Feb 1945 Varrelbusch Fw 190D 27 Feb 1945 - 5 Apr 1945 Grossenhain Bf 109G Regards
1CGS LukeFF Posted September 4, 2018 1CGS Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) It's really quite simple: The first iteration of III./JG 54 (equipped with Fw 190 D-9s) became IV./JG 26 on 25 February 1945 - and yes, they did remain at Varrelbusch. II./ZG 76 (equipped with Fw 190 As) became III./JG 54 on 27 February 1945, at Grossenhain. And yes, the various Asisbiz sites that reference Luftwaffe data (and apparently all owned/operated by one Matthew Acred) just rip off info from other sites without giving any due credit - and repeat many errors in the process. Just ask the admin of FalkeEins: http://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2011/08/stealing-pictures-and-text-by.html. Edited September 4, 2018 by LukeFF 1

Buederich (Meerbusch) or Buederich (Wesel)? If Buederich (Wesel), that indeed isn´t far away from my home (17 km). Funny thing is I never heard about Bönninghardt airfield and the general WW2 related history of the region (Rhine crossing at Rees, Battle for Hochwald gap near Uedemerbruch, etc.) before I started playing BoS and BoPl was announced. Then I started digging into it and read a book or two about Bodenplatte and my surroundings.

Reinhardt Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Man, this installment is going to be ground breaking, so if Market Garden is in the timeframe, are we going to see Douglas C-47 Skytrains?
