Black September IV - Flying Circus

[Talisman]

Many thanks to everyone involved in organising and enabling this campaign and thank you to all participants.  It was very enjoyable and a nice learning curve for me.

 

Happy landings,

Like to add my thanks to J5 and the campaign organisers too.

 

Got to fly with a variety of excellent pilots and had great fun.

 

On top of that, FC itself proved to be an excellent platform even at this early stage. Updating graphics and game engine does make a difference!

Unfortunately you not mention guys who eran the victory for them teams on twoseaters far behind the enemy line in the mud.

 

The fame always goes together with the A2A kill-count. ?

We mud movers are use to carrying the victory ? and getting no glory. Actually we prefer to sneak in and out!. ???

I suppose the bomber pilots do like the noice, but as recon pilot I'm not unhappy if no one sees me coming :D.

 

(Saw two of you guys blowing up a barge while under heavy attack yesterday, on the way to the village I was photographing. Great job, eearie watching it from above hoping no one will look up ). 

 

Adler, Larner is a fighter through and through, no wonder his newspapers include only air to air aspect.

 

Great job, J5. Can't wait to see what you'll do with Areas map. (Operation Michael next BA?)

Forget all that did not like. The tournament was held and I am pleased to congratulate the organizers on this.

Observing this and other FC events, it seems they account for practically all MP activity; a situation similar to but worse than that in RoF.  I'm not sure what could be done to change that, but I wonder if anyone can convince themselves that the answer may lie in a map covered in French place names, with an unpopulated strip of land dividing it.

I think you might be onto something Watson.

There was quite a lot of activity on test server that was running FC missions on weekdays. I hope the place stays up and evolves into proper day to day server.

People were practising on it quite a bit, but the mission itself needs to be less complex and smaller in scale for day-to-day dogfighting. Something closer to BERLOGA, with opposing airfields across the mud which have all planes available with unlocked loadouts, some ground attack around the trenches and maybe some recon/bombing objectives further back.

 

It's too bad we don't have an actual working radio/camera which you need to operate manually (or do we?), I always enjoyed those missions in RoF.

Good idea especially now when Arras map will be released.

Guilty as charged! 

 

I'll pay more attention to two-seaters in future papers. 

[JG1_Butzzell]

S! All

 

Great campaign!

 

Two things to take away from this experience.

 

Second thing is that this is just a simple effort at FC. For those that have seen Black September in previous years, you know that Mathius is going to make some spectacular missions.

 

First and most important, the community came together and worked together to make this a fun event.

[JG1_leeG]

Thanks for hosting J5.  Had a great time.  See you in the sky over Flanders!

 

S!

And less ingame, I expect.

 

(a clarification, for the benefit of the confused: fortunately last time we met you only had the chance to pay attention to my engines, and the Gotha is a great glider, although the factory ground staff may disagree)

Time for a closing song.

Not yet, as I am still working on it. One plane to repaint, some personal skins and we should be ready to go. And I am considering changing the naming convention to RoF-style (y_sc_xxx.dds and z_sc_xxx.dds, etc.)

[J37_GCF]

no worries, let me know if you ever do want them included.
