The fights will be timed with GMT cause its simple that way.

Colicab, why don't you buy CFS2? Its only about £15 now that CFS3 is about and is great for Multiplayer.

Count me in gents.

CFS2 is, as you largely agree the king for online. I'm UK and Sunday evening is just perfect (for what it's worth).

Name the date and I'll be there, as a slowly moving target for all you pilots, of course.

I'll be the guy you see swimming in the Pacific every 30 seconds, I think there are sharks out there you know!

Don't shoot me!!

We end up crashing into each other all the time, so we've developed a parhana repelent... as for the sharks... make sure you dont forget your GI side-arm Grin

I would host CFS3, but so many people dont have the system to run it... and i definatly dont have the system to host a session. Roll Eyes

ADSL, 1.5 Ghz, 64Mb Geforce4 and 1Gb of RAM isnt really enough, next on the list is a GeForce4 FX5600 with 256Mb RAM Grin

I'll try and be on MSN for the next few days if i can to organise a date.

Don't worry about being shot down, I'm the king of "hitting the silk!"
If I remember right, my best ever night on the old dogfigth I got 5 kills and 29 deaths! However, I have some awsome new Spitfires to play with now!

Just beware of Andrew and come in a plane capable of dodging a Spitfire MkIX.

I personally have a tigermoth, Spitfire MkI and a Bf109E as my ultra-manuverable fleet. Grin

I know we've been thru this before Woody, but I think the Hurricane (with its' sharp turn, without bleed-off) is the best for out manoeuvring anything.
But then maybe it's just my style of flying. Grin

Guess it won't be stock only then Wink

Best get myself to the download section and get me something other than flying boats and twin engine soarers then.

My P40 from the 'Defence of Australia' will be well out of its depth as well!! Cry

Well, it's almost as good looking as me so it is about time I got me a Spit to burn the English countryside with Grin

I'm getting all excited now. Set the date!!

Well I experimented with a large amound ot aircraft in the dogfights and I found a Hurricane to be ineffective at getting behind someone. And in a turning match nothing beats a tigermoth! Grin

I use "Schuftie" as often as I'm in the Sim. I love the P40. In terms of the look, it's IMO, the best looking fighter to at least start the War. (I even like it over the Spit - for looks). It also turns sharper too, IMO. Just that lack of power.
I've often said that someone really should have spent more time in the early war, trying to get another engine, or a super charger into it.
I've read that the only reason it couldn't have one as standard fit, was the fact that every single one was needed for the P38's (2 per plane, of course) and there just weren't enough.
We have a P40 in the Australian War Memorial. And I keep one in the top left corner of all my posts......... Grin

P.S. As far as I know, there aren't any mods allowed in the SimV Dogfight, are there?? ???

I keep forgetting that CFS1 planes count as stock. I never had the game but I have downloaded the converted stock CFS1 planes for CFS2.

I'm fairly new to this FS thang (bought the game for myself last xmas) so I guess I'm playing catchup on most of the good stuff out there.

I'm about half way through 'Defense of Australia'. It's a wonderful compaign, I just made a horrible attempt at the two bomber intercept missions. I can bag 6 zero's but I get walloped but the bombers every time. I've generally emptied all my ammo into one and it's nothing more than smoking and spitting lead back.

I don't know how those real pilots did it against real lead that hurt and killed!

Brensec, where you from in Aus. I did a very quick 3 week trip around the main tourist route last year. Australia is a fantastic country and the best kept secret in the world.

Don't shoot me!!

Kevieb, you do not need to use stock aircraft in the dogfight. As far as I know (Woody will correct me) the only rules on planes are no mods and no jets.
There are some fantastic CFS2 Warbirds here at SimV. Download a few and try them out.

I assume then that by mods it is meant planes with 'bad' dp's etc so they can climb forever, turn on the spot and generally do unrealistic things rather then simply not stock?

As I said, fairly new to this so I guess I haven't got all the terminoligy right yet!!

I have downloaded several of the very good planes from here.
I have just got the excellent Mosquito's that went up in the last few days. My favourite plane as a kid and I wasn't disappointed. It looks amazing and sounds like heaven. This is the first plane I have seen with realistic glass, with reflection and everything. the vc looks fantstic but as the maker said it is a bugger to get of the runway. Took me 3 attempts and even then the runway was a thin line way out of the right window.

Not much use in a dogfight of course (no guns at all) but nothing will catch me. So 0 kills and 0 deaths.
I rarely break even in online ffa so for me that would be a result!!!

As long as an aircraft is realistic it's usually accepted.

The 1% aircraft are a good example Wink
