Hi there

My sister saw this film Joyeux Noël the other day on iTune and was thinking about renting it, don't know if she did or not but any way. She came to me and was asking me questions about how true the story was behind the film and other stuff about WW1.

So I told her basically how WW1 started and how the army's where lined up etc... and as far as I was aware, yes the story behind the film about an unofficial truce one Christmas and them playing a game of football in the middle of No Man's Land was true. But some questions I couldn't answer or didn't know how to explain because I wasn't shore.

So I thought I would ask on here as some people seem to know a lot about WW1.

The questions;

1. Did the Christmas unofficial truce happen again or was it a one off ?

2. Did unofficial truces or fighting stop in other places along the lines ? (I said I think so and that hey would send in sharpshooters to start the fighting back up again, but not shore)

3. Would people get themselves captured on purpose to get out of fighting ? (I said I think so, depends how desperate you was)

4. Why didn't they just go round, like invade Denmark from Britain across the North Sea or invade Austro-Hungarian Empire from Italy across the Adriatic Sea ?

Thanks in advance Big Grin

Welcome to SVietnam, Operation Yankee Team
Three days Over Laos.
First let me say Thank You to all the Modders who give there time and talent freely so that we may enjoy the fruits of there labors.

What you need to fly Yankee Team

Mario's awesome F-8 Crusader

Mario's TF-9J Panther
http://freeil2modding.free-forum.net/tf ... vt283.html

I have included a couple skins by US_Grant they were made while he was a member of the 51stfis, the USAF skin for the TF-9J Panther was made for the original Cougar although it has some warping on the Panther it still stands in for the VOODOO nicely.
The other skin is for the F-86F-40 to stand in for the F-100. As always much apprication for US_Grant and all the fine skins he has produced.Thank You my Freind.

This is designed to be run as a dogfight map to allow the pilot or Pilots to fly multiple sorties against multiple targets using UP3RC4 and utilizing the rearm, repair, & refuel feature. There was no enemy air oppisition historicaly so I did not include any in the mission.

A little side note, This and all my missions are designed to be flown in full real settings, if you dont like to navigate, if you only want to fly with perfect weather, if you cant fly without icons these missions may not be for you. If you do not challenge yourself each and everytime you fly how will you improve your skill and advance to the next level. As always once you download the mission it is easy to change the settings to your preference but you will remove all the immersion I have spent hours trying to build in. Re-gaurdless of how you fly I hope you enjoy the mission.
Sempfer FI!! Peace Baby!!

Instalation copy and paste the SVietnam folder into missions/net dogfight.

Historical info June 1964/The United States initiates low-altitude target reconnaissance flights over southern Laos by U.S. Navy and Air Force aircraft. Two days later, similar flights were commenced over northern Laos. These flights were code-named Yankee Team and were meant to assist the Royal Lao forces in their fight against the communist Pathet Lao and their North Vietnamese and Viet Cong allies.
Jun 6 A USN RF-8A Crusader is shot down over Laos by AAA. Although the pilot is captured by Pathet Lao forces, he escapes two weeks later.
Jun 7 A second USN RF-8A is shot down over Laos by AAA.
Jun 8 USAF F-100Ds conduct a strike against Pathet Lao AAA sites in Laos in retaliation for the downing of two USN RF-8As

I will certainly buy Il2 cliffs of dover next month and if someone have this game and a 1C forums account, can you write to Luthier and said that (reply me if he answer)

1. I watch some video and the gun sound are very like lazer gun from star wars. Will they fixe that?
2. Smoke need to be like in the movie. I'm sure Il2 cliffs of dover team can do that. They can add oil leak like Birds of prey/Wings of prey when you pass in smoke or just animated oil leak like 1946 mods.
3. Gun effect. They have to put a gun recoil like Il2 1946.
4. I want to know if the team can do "volumetric cloud" in a second next patch. Watch making of at 1:43

Right. I'm thinking of making the EE Canberra B.2 for 1946. What does everyone recommend I use? And if I can't do it (coz I'm hopeless), who volunteers to make it should I fail?

Forum: IL2 Technical Help

Howdy;
I'm running 4.101 with SAS Modact. I am trying to install the Western Front 44 map but am having difficulty. I can get it to show up in the FMB map list but it will not load and I get the generic [map 2D] error message. I shift-tab to check the loading log and it appears to be two files;
MLR_Script_Trajectories, and
MLR_Script_Statistics.
They are located in the main IL2 folder. If I delete the files, FMB says it can't find them. If I leave them in it seems to be stuck in a loop with the contents of these two files.
Anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be?
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,

Retextured stock Burma map using Whc/agracier/redko/tnk and new textures of mine
signed as Hgu_.

UP3/DBW compatible only, cause the textures storing order is the same of UP3.0

Install as usual putting Burma folder into the #UP#(or #DBW#)/MapMods/Maps/...

It's a beta cause I'm retouching yet some map's locations. CzechTexan_BurmaLower
will follows...and UpperBurma, perhaps.

Many thanks to the authors of used textures!!!

Enjoy!
