There will be finite numbers of airframes at forward bases.
Both sides have (Airfield - NOT AIRSTART) resupply bases with an infinite supply.

NOTE : Luftwaffe Base 4 ( SPB ) is at Boulogne NOT Etaples.
I mislabelled it.

Looks like fun Kopf.
Shoot. I thought I sent this message earlier today but it did not go through.
Tonight is FNF_Unternehmen Zerberus - The Dash of the German Capital Ships Scharnhorst , Gneisenau , and Prinz Eugen through the English Channel.
Please download and install the Mission Pack via the link provided in the earlier post.
Please use the historical skins.
Forward bases will have limited aircraft of limited types.
Both sides have resupply bases - but these are a ways from the fornt - CONSERVE your airframes.
The major differences from normal FNFs are as follows :
1) There will be no Player Map Icon on your kneeboard map - you will have to navigate , or follow someone that can.
There are beacons for both sides , although not all aircraft have receivers.
2) Weather is nasty.
Feb 12 1942
1500 hours
7/10ths Cloud
Cloud Base 2800 ft / 850 m
Cloud Top 7200 ft / 2200 m
Wind is brisk from the NE with gusts and turbulence.
TAXI CAREFULLY - your airfield may be subject to crosswinds.
( The Mosquito is especially tricksy ( Gollum ) . Chocks in to start. Prop Pitch set at 60 % to Taxi.
Make sure engines are synchronized or you will be in the $h1t !
You will have to ride the toe brakes all the time until you are airbourne.
Do not attempt any aggressive climb until you are making about 140 mph )
3) Point accumulation is turned OFF - this mission is about the 3 Capital Ships.
The RAF must first find them , and then attack them repeatedly. The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau ( represented by the in-game
Bismarck ) are particularly tough.
The good news is that HSFX applies reduced speed penalties to heavily damaged ships , and the Victory Conditions are set up
for the ships to reach a certain Waypoint by the90 minute duration.
Heavy damage may be enough to prevent the ships reaching their destination Waypoints.

We'll take a few minutes to orient ourselves before the Mission Start , and I can answer any questions.
I hope you enjoy this different FNF tonight.
