Fellow sim pilots,

 

Today is the day that we've been looking forward to sharing with you all for several months. Admittedly, the Ad Astra camp has fallen silent in recent weeks. This silence is because we have been planning a major restructure that will fundamentally shift the composition and goal of the Ad Astra project.

 

Today, Ad Astra ceases to be produced by one squadron. It becomes a true sim collective comprised of the Imperial Royal Flying Corps (IRFC), Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG1), and Syndicate Squadron (SYN). These three squadrons all have rich histories in the sim flying community.

 

  • IRFC was founded in 2010 and provided "IRFC Bomber Nights" to the fledgling Rise of Flight community; after an 11-year hiatus from server hosting, they founded Ad Astra in mid-2023. 
  • JG1 was founded in 1992 as part of the Red Baron online community; in the following decades, they have been pillars of the WWI flying community as producers of the Flanders in Flames campaign.
  • The Syndicate was founded in 2006 and, as producers of the "Sunday Vintage Mission" series, nearly single-handedly kept the Rise of Flight multiplayer community alive for three years.

 

These three squadrons will be teaming up to deliver you the first multi-era server in IL2 multiplayer history. Moreover, we hope to provide a WWI experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWII aviation community while delivering a WWII experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWI community.

 

We will focus our WWII experience on the first aerial battles of the Second World War. To start, we will deliver the Battle of Britain; the Battles of France and Belgium will follow this.

 

A typical week in the Ad Astra server rotation will look like this:

 

  • Mondays
    • WWI Rotation Maps
  • Tuesdays
    • "Aces Rising" - WWI Community Event
  • Wednesdays
    • WWII Rotation Maps
  • Thursdays
    • "Aces Falling" - WWII Community Event
  • Fridays
    • "Bomber Nights" - WWI Community Event
  • Saturdays
    • Periodical, Organized Campaign Nights on Ad Astra
  • Sundays
    • "The Sunday Roast" - WWII Community Event

 

Stay tuned for more updates! We appreciate your patience as we strive to deliver this new, exciting gameplay experience.

Will the "The Sunday Roast" event be always a Battle of Britain like scenario or will the mission's battlefields change from weekend to weekend ?

Will be Battle of Britain/France/Belgium for now! Regardless, our WWII offerings will primarily focus on the early months/years of WWII.

We are pleased to announce the continuation of Aces Over the Crimea, an ACME production presented by Ad Astra , this is a progressive, economy-based, semi-historical campaign involving combined arms operations.

This event is strictly player vs. player with the exceptions of AI supply columns, trains, ships, and the static defenses at the capture points.. The success of this event is highly dependent on player participation.  For maximin team play, tankers will be needed. Registration is encouraged, for team balance, but all are welcome and will be included.

 

Join either the Soviet or Axis air and ground forces in their battle for the Crimean peninsula beginning in Spring 1942. 

 

Please join the ACME Discord at https://discord.gg/QcQ2AcwZhz for further information, or if you have any questions for the organizers.

Details / Rules can be found  in the #event-rules channel located in the INFO section. Registration will be in the #registration channel located in the ROLES section.
