Re: 21/09/21 Faux Fulda
Andrew,
Paul has asked me to lead this mission.
Here's the 97Sqn miz file. I've allowed for 2 flights of 4 aircraft. They have different WP's and loadouts. Take off at 0425hrs, and TOT's for both moving groups of 0445hrs, is good.
At present, we have 2 confirmed jockeys, with a possibility of 3. I'm hoping for 4.
I hope it melds with your master miz.

Andrew,
I've just tested the 97Sqn miz. The BMPs are far easier than the tank company to locate.
BMPs are fixed to the road. It's straight forward searching the road for BMPs.
The 6 platoons of tanks are spread over 46sqmiles, and moving forward. If you attack one platoon they scatter, and hold, for several minutes, before resuming their track. That then destroys the company pattern, making it a challenge to locate the enemy.
I would suggest closing the tank company pattern, reducing the 46sqmile area, so we spend less time trying to locate our targets. Our CDU would be full of WPs, if I had programmed each tank platoon. When you have one platoon locked up in the TGP, I could not see any other platoon.
If you do close the pattern, please keep the lead platoon as is. That has been used for our TOT and other timed waypoints.
I haven't discussed this request with other members' of 97Sqn

Thanks Andrew. That was quick. Could you also lift the cloud base by 5000ft, and stop the wind blowing.

And fix it for me to win the Lottery, please Andrew. No rush, but before Christmas if possible.

Andrew,
Apologies, but I would like to change the 97Sqn miz file that I returned to you earlier. I wish to change our aircraft loadout.
Is that possible?
If yes, it will be returned by close of business today.

Re: 21/09/21 Faux Fulda
Yes, no problem Geoff, do you really want those other changes?
I was planning on starting the server early and get your plane warmed up, I'll tuck a flask behind the seat and make sure there's a rug for your knees.
Always, I'm happy to help.

I would like the tank convoys moved closer together. However, I'll put a request on 97Sqn forum, and see if Paul, or Alan, will test out the tank locations. Leave it for the time being. If I haven't received an answer my 2300hrs today, then implement my request for closer tank formations, keeping position of lead platoon unchanged.
Here is my revised 97Sqn miz file, with loadout changes.

Re: 21/09/21 Faux Fulda
Happy to move the tanks closer, I was unsure if your comment about the ceiling and the wind was wish or a request.
I'm hoping next Saturday will have less cloud and only light winds, we've got family over.. I have put in a request, but to be honest I'm not expecting any favour from above. I wondered if yours was the same.
