RAF Pilots Unite! Syndicate Server

[klem]

There should be 4 or 5 of 56 Sqdn on tonight (Wednesday) but we could do with a dozen or so guys all together.

Sign up! Well, turn up. We can't let the Blues have it all their own way

Syndicate Ventrilo at 7:30pm or shortly after. Hoping to 'go' at 8pm.

[SEE]

Tried and tried but no luck getting in . Might have more luck on Sunday.

Thanks Klem for teaching me about Whisper on Ventrilo this eve, very informative. I only wish I could spot the enemy better - must eat more carrots! Will try to make Sunday eve but it'll have to be after 9 as my son needs his evening bedtime fix of Harry Potter.

You weren't alone SEE - unless you were on line as Angelo, he couldn't get in either even though he had been on the server earlier. There were about 41 of 128 on when he tried.

np McFeckit, it was good flying with you. By the way when it comes to setting compass you need the additional(?) controls info window. If it helps I posted here:

my [ChatWindow] settings, how to do it and what it gives you. You may find it interesting.

There were an encouraging number on Syndicate Ventrilo last night although several may have just been listening. Hope we didn't hog the channel, Sunday will call for some comms discipline I also hope they were there in response to this 'call to arms' and will be there again on Sunday

Guys, I can't make Sunday myself due to long-standing Family stuff but some of the other 56'ers will be there. This is not a '56' event, we just jumped onto it when the SYN guys suggested it, you don't need to belong to a Squad to join in. It will at least be a good first try.

I don't know how much the Blues will tell you of their intentions but it may come down to watching the spawn messages carefully around the time they launch (you should be co-ordinating that with the Blues - JG52Krupi is your man on the Blue side) and the occasional RDF messages. I would suggest you form at least pairs, maybe sections of four, some of you will know all about that and can help those that don't. Recce the channel along four or five patrol lines if you have no idea where they are coming from. Try to maximise forces before engaging, if there's time. Rest of you converge on the fight.

Kick-off time isn't confirmed but I would suggest 8pm UK/9pm Euro time and to get there about half an hour earlier to get organised, sort out pairs and comms, etc.

Hope this works out ok. I strongly recommend you let one person organise you on the night, perhaps one of the other 56'ers (56RAF_Talisman, 56RAF_phoenix, 56RAF_Dutch or our C.O. 56RAF_witch, if he can make it, all know this stuff).

Step up Guys and have a good time!

Good fun on Syndicate last night, shot down 6 109s across 2 sorties with my wingman, ~S~ Krupi, Jamz et all

That was me....very gutted too! I didn't think having SEE as a ventrillo call sign when flying with a squad was a good idea . Tried today and no problems getting on to the server so going to try again tonight and join the Syn guys. Hope to catch you and the the other forum members the weekend. Still, I enjoyed just listening you all why I vainly attempted to solve why I couldn't log in.

[SYN_Per]

I'm joining tonight as soon as my son is off to bed!

[Redroach]

hey, I'll try to be on tonight, too. Though I could use some general intelligence beforehand... I'm still trying to be the bomber guy who interrupts LW operations in my blenheim, and therefore... which LW airfield is, generally speaking, the most active one? So that I can concentrate my efforts on that one first.
Maybe I should even do some recce flights in advance

Anyway, the most direct route to the LW's nests seem to be very dangerous - I get spotted and intercepted just about every time, even by AI BF109's on occasion. Maybe I should change my approach and/or get an escort fighter or three
If anyone is into airfield bombing operations in the blenheim, too, feel free to join my Gold squadron (consisting of myself as Gold One as of now ).

P.S.: Can we make somewhat 'advanced' use of the chain home radar system? I know that new enemy formations are regularly reported via radio, but is it possible to squeeze out even more use of the radars? I'd guess that we are currently limited to just that because of technical reasons (missing AI communication and the like), but maybe someone has found some secret

So, you'll be cratering runways in the Blennie?

The magic words are "long delay fuse": there's some crazy stuff in some of the detonators, you can set 6 hours of more or delay, enabling you to technically get kills in the event of a lucky blast when you're not even logged into the server

For practical purposes of airfield denial during a couple of hours event though, you might want to go with something more practical like half an hour or so
