SOH A2A P-51D Flight Update

***Kiwikat*** · June 13th, 2009, 15:03

Hi Guys,

It looks like our flight is going to be Sunday, June 28th at 1900 Zulu. That's 3 PM eastern and 2 PM central. Everyone should report an hour early so we can start the flight on time and fix any problems if people have them.

Here's the link to Teamspeak. http://teamspeak.netfire.com/release...t_rc2_2032.exe

We will be using it for communication. It is NECESSARY for the flight. The TS server IP we will be using is 64.46.38.86:8767. Between now and the time of the flight, please connect to the server just to make sure you can connect without any problems. It is unlikely anyone will be around, but there could be someone if you try in the evening.

As far as a gamespy server is concerned, I emailed a few server owners and asked if they were interested in hosting our event. However, I've not got a response from any of the servers I have tried at. I'm not exactly sure what server we can use. If any of you guys know of a server we can use, PLEASE contact me via PM ASAP.

I've finished the flight plan. It is a D-Day memorial flight. Though it may not be historically accurate, it is a good approximation of where some real P-51's flew. It should be around 2 hours or slightly more with a bigger group. If you've got Ultimate Terrain Europe and some sort of terrain mesh, you will see quite a few unique things.

Could a moderator please sticky this thread? This is where all future information regarding the flight will be, so please watch this space.

Thanks everyone!!! This will be a blast!

Oh, one last thing. Could everyone PLEASE post the paint they plan on using? A link to the download at SOH would be great as well as the name. I'd like to keep the number of Snooks to a minimum.

Detroit Miss

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.ph...&ammm=25&pap=2

This repaint is for the A2A Simulations Inc. World War II Fighters P-51D Mustang for FSX. The textures will not work in FS9. It represents the P-51D flown by Lt. Urban L. 'Ben' Drew when he was assigned to the 375th Fighter Squadron, 361st Fighter Group at Little Walden, Essex, UK in 1944. On October 7th, 1944 Lt. Urban shot down two German Me 262's jets while flying Detroit Miss. His gun camera was jammed during the incident but his commanding officer gave him credit for the kills. 40 Years later a former German Me 262 pilot confirmed the incident. Repaint by Barry Vandenakker based on the new high resolution paintkit and textures by A2A Simulations Inc.

Lt. Urban shot down two German Me 262's jets in one day!!!! That is the kind of thing that wins a war.

I will be flying the Wee Willy II paint that Jankees is either working on or done with. I'm sure it will be uploaded soon.

LOL I wish I could actually host it. My DSL would fail after 5 people joined my server. We still need to find somewhere to host our multiplayer event.

I'm happy to have been able to get it together though. It is going to be a LOT of fun. Hopefully this won't be a one time thing.

If anyone has any ideas for a server, PLEASEEE contact me ASAP.

I'd probably fly "Upupa Epops" done by John Terrell. It is somewhere here in the library.

kind regards,

Meso

Are there any other repaints from this squadron like Double trouble two or something else with that orange/black checker nose
That's where I'm looking for

There is "dove of Peace" although from a different squadron it was from the same fighter group.

kind regards,

Meso

If anyone else is planning on joining us, please let us know what plane you will be flying.

Thanks

We are still looking for a server too...

MAJOR BUMP!

The event is this sunday at 2 PM central time (start showing up at 1PM...). If anyone else plans on attending it would be nice if you could list the plane you are flying.

Thanks!

Where are we taking off from? I'm asking so as to be sure I have the right scenery installed.

And....what re-paint are you flying KiwiKat?

Many thanks

Andrew

I'll be flying my Swedish paint since I've not got the time to finish my dutch one.

Details on the flight plan will be posted on saturday evening sometime. Everyone interested, please keep posted. As for addons, I highly recommend UTX Europe and some addon terrain mesh for the UK.
