I-Cipson Posted June 16, 2020 Author Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) COM 18ATTENTION GENTLEMEN !:Pilots and gentlemen, La grande famiglia delle Italianwing Missions sta crescendo ancora. Oltre 100 Pilots fanno parte di questa iniziativa di successo, e gli organizzatori di Wings of Italy ringraziano tutti gli Airmen per la preferenza accordata al loro lavoro. D'altra parte, quando si è tanti e la casa è stretta , dobbiamo stringerci un pò. Come sapete più di 84 player il Server attuale non può ospitare, pertanto dobbiamo chiedere ai Wing Commanders e agli Sqn Commanders di limitare le presenze alla Prima Partenza e considerare alcuni Piloti come "Rinforzi" (magari quelli incerti e che possono arrivare tardi) che potranno certamente partire con la Seconda Missione, dando il cambio ai Piloti della prima Missione che tornano esausti dal Combattimento. Pertanto, gli Squadron Leaders, in accordo con i Wing Commanders, dovranno quindi preparare due liste di Piloti per la Prima e seconda Missione, in base alle necessità Tattiche richieste. In questo modo otteniamo due risultati:1) Facciamo volare tutti i Piloti nella stessa Missione , anche se alternati2) Diamo maggior Vigore alla seconda Parte della Battaglia con Piloti "Freschi" e "Motivati". Certi della vosta comprensione, i Comandi si aspettano la migliore risposta ed organizzazione possibile. In questo modo, se l'organizzazione funzionasse a dovere, potremmo arrivare ad ospitare anche 168 Piloti! Non potremmo essere più soddisfatti.Grazie ancora per la vostra magnifica presenza. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pilots and gentlemen, the great Family of Italianwing Missions is still growing . Over 100 Pilots are part of this successful initiative, and the organizers of Wings of Italy thank all the Airmen for the preference given to their work. On the other hand, when there are many and the house is narrow, we have to shake a little. As you know, more than 84 players, the current Server cannot host, therefore we must ask Wing Commanders and Sqn Commanders to limit the attendance to the First Departure and consider some Pilots as "Reinforcements" (maybe those who are uncertain and who may arrive late) who will be able to certainly start with the Second Mission, taking over from the Pilots of the first Mission, who return exhausted from the Combat. The Squadron Leaders, in agreement with the Wing Commanders, will therefore have to prepare two lists of Pilots for the First and Second Mission, according to the Tactical needs required. In this way we obtain two results: 1) We make all the Pilots fly in the same Mission, even if alternated 2) We give greater vigor to the second Part of the Battle with "Fresh" and "Motivated" Pilots. Certain of your understanding, the Commands expect the best possible response and organization. In this way, if the organization worked properly, we could even host 168 pilots! We couldn't be happier.Thanks again for your wonderful presence.____________________________________Good Flight and Combat Gentlemen and .... Check your Six!

I-Cipson Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) GRAZIE A "I 144" La polvere sollevata dalle Eliche sulla pista non si è ancora depositata che è già tempo di saluti. Saranno solo temporanei perché ci giunge notizia che la Battaglia d'Inghilterra continua, dunque la Seconda Divisione Crociata dovrà levare ancora in aria i suoi Bombardieri e la Sottile Linea Azzurra Britannica dovrà ancora cercare di proteggere il suolo patrio. Questi ringraziamenti sono comunque dovuti perché molti Piloti partiranno presto per le loro meritate licenze. Dunque, innanzitutto GRAZIE A "I 144". 144 Piloti che si sono cimentati con questa Guerra Aerea, forse "nuova" per un simulatore che predilige azioni tattiche, ma in realtà "Vecchia", perché l'essenza del Potere Aereo è invece teorizzata da più di 100 anni ed è rappresentata proprio dalla capacità di portare l'Offensiva nella stessa casa del nemico. Era la Proiezione Strategica che poteva cambiare le sorti della Guerra, come insegnò l'offensiva della "Mighty Eighth" nel cuore della Germania, di cui devastò la sua capacità logistica ed arrestando inesorabilmente la potente macchina bellica Tedesca. Era la dimostrazione che le teorie di Douhet (e di Gianni Caproni) sul Potere Aereo non erano solo visioni, anche se espresse nel lontano 1921, con l' opera eccelsa " Il Dominio dell'Aria". Nella nostra intenzione era proprio quello che volevamo far provare ai nostri Piloti Virtuali. Dominare il cielo sopra la testa del nemico o provare ad opporsi all'odiato invasore, come fecero realmente con coraggio ed abnegazione, i loro giovani colleghi di entrambe le parti, scambiando tutto quello che avevano per quello in cui credevano. Come ricorda Yeats: "...Ne la legge ne il diritto mi spinsero a combattere, non fu la politica, ne l'applauso della folla. Un impulso di gioia fu, un impulso solitario che mi spinse un giorno a questo tumulto fra le nuvole; nella mia mente ho tutto calcolato, tutto considerato, e gli anni a venire mi sono sembrati uno spreco di fiato, uno spreco di fiato gli anni che ho passato in paragone a questa vita, a questa morte..." Corre in questi giorni l'80° anniversario della Battaglia d'Inghilterra in cui una generazione di Piloti-Ragazzi visse e morì realmente in questo incredibile e drammatico evento. Se siamo riusciti a farvi pensare a loro, alle emozioni che realmente provavano mentre salivano a bordo dei loro fragili aerei, mentre la paura stringeva lo stomaco fino alla nausea quando intravedevano le contrails nemiche, mentre sudavano nelle loro combinazioni di volo lottando contro la forza G ed il tremore delle loro mani, ebbene, se siamo riusciti anche solo per un attimo a farvi ricordare di loro, bene, avremo raggiunto il nostro scopo. Gli eventi di guerra sono ormai lontani ma restano le riflessioni e gli approfondimenti che si possono fare (come questo volo virtuale) e che si comprendono anche meglio, quando la polvere della battaglia si è depositata, come ricorda il pilota scrittore per eccellenza, scomparso anch'egli durante un volo di guerra:"Noi siamo oggetti dell'incoerenza generale... Noi siamo pezzi di una grande costruzione, ma per vederne l'insieme ci vuole più tempo. più silenzio ed un distacco maggiore. Antoine De Saint-Exupery (pilota di guerra)"... A Presto, ai 144 Piloti e agli altri che si aggiungeranno, nei cieli "virtuali ma reali" diWINGS OF ITALY _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THANKS TO "THE 144" The dust raised by the propellers on the track has not yet settled which is already time to say goodbye. They will only be temporary because news reaches us that the Battle of Britain continues, therefore the Second Crusade Division will still have to lift its bombers and the "Thin British Blue Line" will still have to try to protect the homeland. These thanks are however due because many Pilots will leave soon for their well-deserved licenses. So, first of all, THANKS TO "THE 144". 144 pilots who have ventured into this Air War, perhaps "new" for a simulator that prefers tactical actions, but in reality "old" because the essence of Air Power has been theorized for more than 100 years and is represented precisely by the ability to bring the Offensive to the same house as the enemy. It was the Strategic Projection that could change the tide of the War, as taught by the "Mighty Eighth" offensive in the heart of Germany, of which it devastated its logistical capacity and inexorably arresting the powerful German war machine. It was the demonstration that Douhet's (and Gianni Caproni's) theories about Air Power were not only visions, even if expressed in the far 1921, with the excellent work "The Dominion of Air". In our intention it was exactly what we wanted to try for our Virtual Pilots. Dominate the sky above the enemy's head or try to oppose the hated invader, as their young colleagues on both sides did with courage and self-denial, exchanging everything they had for what they believed in. As Yeats remember: "...Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death..." The 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain is taking place in these days in which a generation of Pilots-Boys really lived and died in this incredible and dramatic event. If we managed to make you think of them, of the emotions they really felt as they boarded their fragile planes, while fear tightened their stomachs to the nausea when they saw the enemy contrails, while they sweated in their flight combinations fighting against the G force and the tremor of their hands, well, if we managed to make you remember them for just a moment, well, we will have achieved our goal. The war events are long gone but the reflections and insights that can be done (like this virtual flight) remain and that are better understood, when the dust of the battle has settled, as recalls the pilot writer for excellence, who also disappeared during a war flight: "We are objects of general inconsistency ... We are pieces of a great construction of which more time, more silence and more perspective are needed to discover the assembly ... Antoine De Saint-Exupery ( war pilot) " Soon, to "the 144" Pilots and others who will join, in the "Virtual, but Real Skies" ofWINGS OF ITALY _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MERCI À "LES 144"" La poussière soulevée par les hélices sur la piste n'est pas encore retombée, il est déjà temps de se dire au revoir. Ils ne seront que temporaires car la nouvelle nous parvient que la Bataille d'Angleterre se poursuit, donc la Deuxième Division de Croisade devra encore lever ses bombardiers et la "Thin British Blue Line" devra encore essayer de protéger la patrie. Ces remerciements sont cependant au nombre de deux car de nombreux Pilotes partiront bientôt pour leurs licences, bien méritées. Alors tout d'abord MERCI À "LES 144". 144 pilotes qui se sont aventurés dans cette guerre aérienne, peut-être «nouveau» pour un simulateur qui préfère les actions tactiques, mais en réalité «ancien» car l'essence de la Puissance Aérienne est théorisée depuis plus de 100 ans et est représentée précisément par la capacité à amener l'offensive dans la même maison que l'ennemi. C'est la Projection Stratégique qui pourrait changer le cours de la Guerre, comme l'enseigne l'offensive du "Mighty Eighth" au cœur de l'Allemagne, dont elle dévaste sa capacité logistique et arrête inexorablement la puissante machine de guerre allemande. C'était la démonstration que les théories de Douhet (et de Gianni Caproni) sur la Puissance Aérienne n'étaient pas seulement des visions, même si elles étaient exprimées dans le loin 1921, avec l'excellent ouvrage "The Dominion of Air". Dans notre intention, c'était exactement ce que nous voulions faire experimenter à nos pilotes virtuels. Dominez le ciel au-dessus de la tête de l'ennemi ou essayez de vous opposer à l'envahisseur détesté, comme l'ont fait leurs jeunes collègues des deux deploiement, avec courage et abnégation, en échangeant tout ce qu'ils avaient contre ce en quoi ils croyaient. Comme Yeats s'en souvient: "...Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death..." Le 80e anniversaire de la Bataille d'Angleterre a lieu en ces jours où une génération de pilotes-garçons a vraiment vécu et est mort cet événement incroyable et dramatique. Si nous parvenions à vous faire penser à eux, aux émotions qu'ils ressentaient vraiment en montant à bord de leurs avions fragiles, tandis que la peur leur serrait le ventre à la nausée quand ils voyaient les traînées ennemies, alors qu'ils transpiraient dans leurs combinaisons de vol en combattant la force G et le tremblement de leurs mains, eh bien, si nous parvenions à vous faire vous souvenir d'eux juste un instant, alors, nous aurons atteint notre objectif. Les événements de guerre sont révolus depuis longtemps mais les réflexions et les aperçus qui peuvent être faits (comme ce vol virtuel) restent et qui sont mieux compris, lorsque la poussière de la bataille s'est retombée comme le rappelle le pilot écrivain par excellence, qui a également disparu pendant un vol de guerre: "Nous sommes des objets de l’incohérence générale... Nous sommes des morceaux d’une grande construction dont il faut plus de temps, plus de silence et plus de recul pour découvrir l’assemblage...Antoine De Saint-Exupery (pilote de guerre)" A bientôt, aux 144 Pilotes et autres qui se joindront, dans le ciel "virtuel, mais réel" de WINGS OF ITALY Edited July 24, 2020 by ITA_Cipson 3
