Operation server I think is the name. I tested a new server tonight with my wingman in Il2's bombing tanks. A dynamic moving front type of mp server. Almost as good as what we get in ROF but with more bomber/strike type of game play. This could be our type of play..better than wargrounds..oh and here was my wingman for the night..on TS with him the whole time too. Guess you know who that is. I didn't talk shop with him, we just played the game and tried not to die or hit the ground on our missions. ON TS he was just like one of us, bitched when he hit the ground or missed the tanks. We both did sort of ok. Unlocks or not it may turn out to be a good game. Its ROF in WW2 so far.

Yeah his name is Burnin Jason Williams. After I got through the unlocks for a few aircraft I got on line and its just like ROF..I went and took out the fuel dump, two trips in a IL2 and then saw the message that they were testing a new server so I logged in and spawned a Il2 for tank killing I looked to my left and Jason was there so I jumped on BOS TS with him and we went tank hunting. Mudcat was there too for a while. I sent him a message that we were on BOS TS but he might have had chat off. It was a fun night as much as ROF is.

Yeah, I did mention at one time, that amoung all of the other ground attack aircraft, 2 of those being the P47 and the A10, my favorite Russian AC, is the IL2 Sturmovik. Bringing the hurt to ground units was it's forte, as the Germans found out during the real life winter campaign at Stalingrad.
But the Sturmovik, dealt plenty of death and destruction. for the rest of the war as well.
BTW, do we have the bomblet canisters available on the IL2, if not, that is OK, but always loved doing convoys attacks with those. Everybody who flies the earlier versions of IL2, will recognize that weapon. And if they dont, just look at the "Black Death" trk file.
Anyway, as soon as I get back to flying, looks like a re-install, and then I get to do some single player campaign too. While I agreed with the sentiment that the BOS users got hosed, I do not have a problem with flying the SP misssions or campaigns, after all, that was all I flew for the first 12 years or so that I flew the original IL2 and 1946.

No bomblets yet but after a few SP missions you get all you need for killing fuel, ammo dumps and a white skin..its strange they wouldn't start you in a white skin but oh well. The Eagles nest is gone for good I think and Aborted man was banned from the forums. This new server is something Jason has taken on with another guy. In the same way the nest was going. Its better than the wargrounds missions with more going on. Anyway jump on when you feel like it. I got a three day pass from work so I'll be doing some flying in ROF,BOS and maybe Cliffs if I have time.

Did you buy it before November of last year? You should have the founders skins if you did. Its always the last skin listed. It may be different for steam users if you got it through them. I saw you pop online and I said Hey theres my squad mate Mudcat. Jason said cool tell him to join us here. But then you were gone.

I got it Dec 7th, of all days now that I think of it, I thought they had extended it to people who bought it after the orginal cut-off long ago, but apparently that was just the silly little founders tag in the forum only, not founders tag as in, everything else that went with it.
Yeah, i tried to join in but everything locked up and I had to restart, so I just said heck with it for the night and went to bed.

I'm getting freeze ups every second mission I run..not CTD but it just locks up and I have to Kill the process in task manager. Its almost like it will do it if I run it on auto pilot. I'm going to run the first on auto then fly the second to see if It will do it. Since the last update its been like that.
The cut off was September but they let it go until November if I remember right.

So is this an issue/ bug that has been identified at the forums, or does a bug report need posting ?
