bartbert Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 We know that at least of few of you guys out there have formed "squadrons" with your online pilots. We would like to encourage such activities, because we think it helps build community and generally adds fun to the game play. So, to help the process along, we are adding "official" support for squadrons. Briefly, here's how it works: </font>Players who have pilots with at least a Rank Level of 4 [Major (US), Squadron Leader (UK), Major (Germany), Shosa (Japan)], may request to be a squadron leader.</font>If your application to be a squadron leader is approved, we will setup a page for you on this web site where you can manage your squadron, and others can visit.</font>It's the squadron leader's job to recruit other player's pilots into his squadron, and to keep his web page content up to date. Players may request to join a squadron, but a squadron can contain a maximum of 12 elements, so space is limited.</font>Players will receive e-mail notification whenever one of their pilots has been added to or removed from a squadron. We expect squadron commanders to abide by a strict code of conduct with regard to managing their squadron. Failure to do so will result in the dissolution of the squadron.</font> We have added a Squadron Home page here: Squadron Home Page that has more information, and you can view a sample squadron page here: VMF-214: Black Sheep Squadron Do you have what it takes to be a squadron leader?

Guest Mike Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 How do you get promoted? My leading chaps aren't quite as good as Skude's, but I have a couple on the leader board and there's nary a medal nor a promotion for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Verssen Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Your pilots build up promotion points by getting successful results in missions. In general, you get medals for shooting down enemy aircraft, flying a mission with a VP disadvantage, or in some cases flying when fatigued and still doing well.

Skuderian Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi! Would it be possible to add squadrons logo to the leader board for squadrons pilots? Maybe above the national sign? I think there is enough place for doing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbert Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Good idea! I think we could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartbert Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 The second squadron has been formed. Check it out at http://downinflamesonline.com/DiFPortal/Default.aspx?tabid=67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbert Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I have updated the Leader Board so that it now shows the squadron logo image for those pilots that are in a squadron. Also note that if you are logged onto the web site, you can go to the Leader Board and check the "My Pilots" check box and click Refresh to display only the pilots that you own.

Skuderian Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Hi! I cant add german pilots to JV44 cause Pluto (also leading japanese clan) is commanding JV44. Please change this back to Markus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbert Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm not sure what happened there, but I have switched it back so that Markus is the squadron leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Verssen Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Sounds like Pluto wasn't happy commanding just one squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
