II./JG 1 will have our monthly Gruppe Meeting on Thursday, October 27th at 8:30PM EDT.

No serious agenda, but we will discuss the website, the next campaign for Ghost Skies, Gruppe practices, and pilot training. We will also continue our discussion regarding Cliffs of Dover, and our upcoming Dogfight Night on "Das Adlernest".

Should anyone have any issues that they'd like to have discussed, please contact me. The meeting shouldn't go any longer than a half hour, so the regular 9PM EDT practice will not be affected.

Hope to see you there.

On Saturday, 29th October at 9:00 p.m. EDT, II./JG 1 will host a Dogfight Night for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover on our server, "II./JG 1: das Adlernest". The match will use the most recent version of the Cliffs of Dover game: v1.05.15950.

Current plans are to run a Battle of Dunkirk scenario, complete with all of the features that make Cliffs of Dover exciting! Users will be able to choose available planes, take off and intercept enemy NPC's or engage other players. The server will also rotate sub-missions regularly, about every 20 minutes, so there will always be planes in the air to engage.

Should anyone want more information regarding the event, please stop by our forums. All are welcome!

For those that haven't heard about it, IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover contains a feature that's called Anthropomorphic Controls. This feature ensures that the pilot can't do things in the cockpit that a real pilot couldn't do considering they only have two hands.

When your hardware is setup correctly, Anthropomorphic Controls will add a huge level of immersion on two sides. One, on your side as a pilot you will need to understand that you can't just start flipping switches, moving dials and pulling levers. You'll need to plan your moves and execute them in an efficient manner. On the other side, your opponent is limited in the same manner and if you are better at control management, then that will give you an edge.

II./JG 1 will have an important Gruppe Meeting on Thursday, August 25 at 8:00PM.

At the top of the list for discussion - the new website, the next campaign for Ghost Skies, Staffel practices, and pilot training. We will also talk briefly about Cliffs of Dover and our new II./JG 1 server, "Das Adlernest".

Should anyone have any issues that they'd like to have discussed, please contact me. The meeting shouldn't go any longer than an hour, so the regular Staffel practices will not be affected.

Hope to see you there.

II./JG 1 now has a dedicated server for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover called "II./JG 1: das Adlernest." The server is listed in the server list by going to Multiplayer | Client and viewing the servers. 

Currently we are running a mission modelled after the escape from Dunkirk, "Operation Dynamo," graciously provided to the community by TheEnlightenedFlorist on the 1C boards. It is a fairly simple mission, with various UK missions: Such as Hurricanes patrolling Dunkirk high and low. Defiants defending the ships. Various ground units are trying to move to the port. Trains are bringing troops into the city from the south. And of course, Anti-Aircraft is defending the city and airfields.
