  1. Reasonable expectations and honesty. Sit in a restaurant, handed a menu, and told by the waiter that they will be right back. "Two Weeks." Sure it's a joke, but hearing it every two weeks would be honest. Not liking what others think about it is a whole nother problem. Bowie
  2. Contrary opinions... are. And Administrative Threats - are a poor substitute for argument in the arena of ideas. Some of us have been looking forward to this PTO expansion since the abandonment and demise of CFS2/1%. Waiting patiently, and being jerked around, are discernible differences to one paying attention. Bowie
  3. My only complaint with this Fighter... the 30 mm mortar. Now F-4 or G-6/14 is the decision. Win/Win. EDIT: noticed that some of the values don't line up w/ the OEM MG 151/20, which is a concern. Bowie
  4. Troublemaker. Ha! Keep up the good work. Bowie

    ships

    TTBoMK - only: USS Block Island (CVE-106) VMF(CVS)-511/VMTB(CVS)-233 USS Gilbert Islands (CVE-107) VMF(CVS)-512/VMTB(CVS)-143 USS Cape Gloucester (CVE-109) VMF(CVS)-351/VMTB(CVS)-132 Made it into the theater before the end of the war, w/ USS Block Island and USS Gilbert Islands joining middle for ICEBERG, and then OBOE VI. Whereas almost every CTG from NOV44 onward had at least one CVL, and generally two. While the idea of operating the F4U from a CVE is exciting, it did not really mature until Korea. Bowie

    Corsair update

    Very nice. Will there be an F4U-1A version as well? Bowie

    VMF-511, embarked aboard the USS Block Island:
  9. Awesome strip map, from Banika, w/ details of the usual suspects. Great F4U contribution. Thanks for posting. Bowie
  10. Could also just as easily be a Ki-43 Hayabusa... Which were all over. Including the Honey-Hole Solomon Islands. Bowie
  11. https://www.jdsf4u.be/engine-f4u-corsair Bowie
  12. Out-standing. Bowie.
  13. W/ Antisotropic Filter at 16X... Instant Action P-51D V. FW-190D9 Up close, damage textures reflect damage. As range increases, damaged parts disappear. Bowie
  14. Computers - can render anything they want to. So why not RW? Bowie I use the default [Enter] setting. Bowie
  15. Do it once - do it Right. Can't wait. Merry Christmas. Bowie
  16. 8>) Merry Christmas. Bowie
  17. Can stand in the road in front of my office, and look down it to an elevated highway exactly 1.25 miles away. Can distinguish motorcycles, compact from full size automobiles, including color. Can almost read the writing on the side of a semi-tractor trailer. Could distinguish type and attitude of a War-Bird fighter easily as well. In DCS it's a speck. Bowie
  18. Mission Debrief - Hit/Round/Type/Number Info... ...was removed with the latest? update. This feature is sorely missed. In War Birds, It provides not only the quantity, but the quality of hits used/needed to knock down particular A/C. Hit counts in the 20's meant good shooting, hit counts in the 60's meant sloppy shooting. If possible, please bring it back. Thanks. Bowie

  19. Maybe a Skill Level selection as well. Thanks. Bowie
  20. That may be. But never had to zoom CFS2. 3-5 mi. was still a discernible A/C. A speck at a mile just isn't right. Have flown through furballs that were just a few thousand feet above or below me, and was not able to see them. Had to use the map/altitude cheat. Bowie
  21. I'm gettin' about 1.4 miles on a warbird w/ 4K. Should be 2-5 miles. Bowie
  22. Well... That would have to be the Bf 109 K-4. ... because they are tough to beat in the P-51D. Bowie
  23. Like the sound of that. See people zooming all the time on vids, like cyborgs. Call that cheating. But a visual range of 1.4 miles on a warbird isn't right, either. Bowie
  24. The inflight burning engine smoke is twice what the burning fuel is. Just make it more persistent, say 15 seconds instead of 5. Bowie
  25. Yes. Need somethin' to feed the F4U-1D Corsair. 8>) Bowie
