Its just a map of all the airports in the Dover area. And if your like me, and starting to treat this game more like a flight sim, then it will be very useful for journeys!:)

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 06:48 PM

you on the 360?

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 06:49 PM

dumb question on my part!! just seen your sig!!

Drop me a FR (STAR FOZ83) i will happily just do some "free flight" with you in my good old hawker hurricane.

ThatYoungGameGuy 09-25-2009 06:51 PM

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 06:51 PM

smart ass :P ;) hehe

ThatYoungGameGuy, feel free to drop an FR and ill fly with you sometimes too.

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 07:15 PM

Wasn't being smart lol, was just posting historical, not game map. Though his is pretty much the same if you look closely. 3 main ones are their, not so sure about the radar sites though as i've not checked.

Get some friends requests sent out, a "hop" (free flight etc) sounds good to me!!

PantherAttack2 09-25-2009 07:52 PM

I'd love to do some free flying and introduce you to fly-by's if you haven't done that yet. ;)

GT- Deathbringer135

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 08:04 PM

Just got your message on live mate, im up for free flight anytime. Just generally get in the plane..... and fly :P

Get to enjoy the surroundings without the hassle of someone trying to blow me out if the sky :D

PantherAttack2 09-25-2009 08:05 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I still have yet to fly over the English Channel though, I should do that sometime... :grin:

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 08:07 PM

hmmm, sounds like a plan!!

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 08:08 PM

baldwin8 09-25-2009 08:17 PM

The reception upon landing may depend on the markings on your tail!!!

PantherAttack2 09-25-2009 08:17 PM

No cold beers, no warm beers either. No bars. :(

i save the absinthe for when im in a head on pass with a 109.... (i need it to block out the sight of all them heavy guns) :P

ThatYoungGameGuy 09-25-2009 08:32 PM

just to let you guys know, i have just flown from Kent Int'l to Hawkinge at night on sim. So will be putting a video up of that :D God I love this game, just for a tip, when on training mode, make sure you put the enemy skill down to rookie, and then choose a really bulky bomber for them to fly, this way they wont interrupt your flight :D

House MD 221B 09-25-2009 08:33 PM

careful landing on France, you can land there, and you can land ON the beach, BUT there's NO shadows, so be careful judging your height, come down slow and smooth.

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 08:44 PM

no bar.... so no france for me lol.

I might fly over and drop a few empty bottles....let them know what their missing out on. Im quite happy "hopping" from A to B.

Bit of formation flying in their to perhaps!!

good times.

then while you two practice your formation skills, I'll come in with my Yak-1 or Yak-3? Blast you out of your little formation. LOL:cool: Though I have yet to buy my 360 edition.

your little paper airplane wouldn't see the 3rd plane of our ;) come screaming onto your 6 all guns blazing....


good times LOL! :D


though i would be concerned as to how a YAK.....

a) got all the way over to england and fly over the english countryside...un noticed!!

b) would shoot down allies lol.

c) recovered from a dive with no wings and looking like swiss cheese after meeting twelve .303 guns :D


lol, had to get the last one in.

When do Soviets need a reason to fly anywhere?

b) would shoot down allies lol.
Who said I was the British Ally?

c) recovered from a dive with no wings and looking like swiss cheese after meeting twelve .303 guns :D
I think my 20mm ShVAK Cannon would make quick work of your Hurricanes. Seeing how I could out turn you and such. LOL :D

lol, had to get the last one in.

Answers are in bold :D

FOZ_1983 09-25-2009 09:35 PM

When flying over the glorious English countryside..... you need a reason, and a very good one..especially if your flying some Ruski crate haha.

Your flying a crate with ruski markings... your our ally ;)

You might get a kill on the plane you jumped, but before you have time to flee or go for the second....the third would of pounced and ripped your toy plane to shreds :D




Check mate

:P

all in good humour of course.

Ah, but what you fail to realize, is that even though the Lone Wolf may look like there is no friends. That's when your "third" Hurricane will get a surprise. Of course this is if, the Lone Wolf has a problem. But seeing how it's a Soviet Ace! :P I think a Yak-1 could handle 3 little Hurricanes.

(And of course it's all in good humor.)

Dirty ruski's always trying to cheat and bend the rules hahaha.


So.......


two hurries, flying together, get bounced by a yak, BUT just as the yak pounces on the first, a third hurricane comes tearing down on the yaks 6.

In the last 5 seconds we've had 1 hurricane torn to shreds, but the yak has been jumped by the third hurrie and shot up rather badly.

Seeing the above happen (well not so much seeing but hearing over comms) the FIRST hurricane breaks off.

YOUR "lone wolfs friend" then jumps my third hurricane, and in typical ruski fashion, cracks open a bottle of smirnoff to gloat and enjoy his dirty little trick, it appears the ruskis win this fight........


OH WAIT,


THE THIRD HURRICANE, that the rather intoxicated yak pilot forgot about, has since come tearing down on the tail of the yak and absolutely peppered it with mg fire. All this happens because the yak didnt peel off after his kill, he reduced throttle and was cruising at a rather low speed while he enjoyed his moment.


Your turn :D

Soviet Ace 09-25-2009 10:27 PM

And though it seemed like the Yak's were taken care of, yet another surprise arrives when the realization comes that this is an Invasion, and actually. There are five whole squadrons of Yak's coming across the channel. The third Hurricane is quickly subdued after being lured into a web of Yak "spiders", and it taken care of. And the other two, limp off home after seeing they have no chance against the superior Yak numbers. LOL

Wissam24 09-25-2009 10:42 PM

Then suddenly EUROFIGHTER

Realsing whats going on and that the situation look bleak at best, the fuhrer see's this as an oppurtunity to deal a harsh blow to stalin and the red army. He sends up every squadron that the luftwaffe can muster and sends them across the channel........

TO ASSIST THE RAF!!!

prior to this he sends a message to winston churchill telling him of his plans to assist. In return we (UK) must stay away from mainland europe.......until at least 1944.

The 5 squadrons of yaks that a free roaming over southern england are soon met by a mixed force of RAF spitfires and hurricanes, and also their temp ally the Luftwaffe and their 109's.

Let the most epic air battle in history commence. lol

LOL Then suddenly an untested an unready B29 comes flying over, and drops the first Atomic bomb. Destroying all the planes that were dogfighting at low altitudes. LOL No side wins, all is lost and forgotten. America! becomes the new target of the UK, USSR, and Nazi Germany. LOL

ontheborderland 09-26-2009 04:18 AM

Just sent a friend request, would definitely be up for some sim free flying sometime.

XBL: ontheborderland

FOZ_1983 09-26-2009 04:45 PM

seems a few of us wouldnt mind just having a good old free flight!! think we should get it done ;) get my hurricane formed up on someones wing. Good times.

GabeFan 10-05-2009 03:19 AM

Is there any list of the airports? Looks like there is 3 in Dover.
What about the other areas/locations????

JOED70 02-25-2010 08:58 PM

Thanks great idea on the maps . Not sure if this has ever been mentioned before, but it would be great if the ingame knee board map allowed you to set waypoints. But I guess a printed map and and a piece of string is more period .
