  1. I recall watching a demonstration of a Mortar platoon, we were stood well back,(being RAF we were not trusted with things that go bang, or are sharp) while a lot of Army guys were shouting instructions and confirming understanding, then ,BBBBOOMMMM, off they all went, and bracketed this target on a slope some way off. We were impresed. So one of us asked how do they work out, how to hit the target. The SNCO replied it would be difficult in battle to be absolutly accrate, so they used SITFA. So another asked what that meant, and with a straight face the said "Somewhere in that flamin area...or words to that effect. LONG before we had GPS.
  2. After the update to AH-64 on 24 Jul 25, the changelog says manual updated, but it still says last updated in 2024, can anyone confirm if it has been updated. Thank you
  3. We had these at Thornhill, Rhodesia, really wierd sound as the came in, because they were subsonic,. I didn't realise they were made of wood, until I saw one in the hanger that was being patched up from damage after some ground attack engagement with Terrorists, prior to our arrival. The majority of the aircraft at Thronhill were Hunters. Looking forward to this.
  4. Small point, but the water towers become repetative, yes they are similar to the ones near us in Monchengladbach,(1983-86) but they didn't show up every 5-miles, perhaps take out 2 of every 3.
  5. An A-7, Brilliant, good luck and best wishes, will really look forward to that.
  6. Same here, I raised a ticket with ED, but then found the link that says 'change payment method' used the same card and it worked fine. The end of paypal on this site, and only on this site. If you cancel your order, and go back to your profile, open the cancelled one and it says, change payment method. I filled that in, and started again. Sorted.
  7. Hi BIGNEWY, THANK YOU, making a list of what I've tried so far, Thanks for the assist.
  8. Been at this all day, same problem, payment processing. Tried to use another browser, got my passwords out, all gettting rejected. Paypal works fine elsewhere.
  9. Cold War Germany map, PayPal just circles. Other payment option does not offer way to add credit card, so stuck with paypal 2
  10. Just tried after restart, after the UPDATE, yep still stuck, reckon we've overloaded the server. Note the German Map is now on sale, but will not try to buy as it is no doubt too busy to take the transaction easily. Will look in again tomorrow. Good luck everyone
  11. Got past the 502 error, and now got 504, you do not have the following modules.....all that I have bought. Reckon the system is maxed out. Will try once more, after a restart & come back tommorrow if not resolved. Give it time to settle down
  12. If I'd known that, I'd have asked for as seat up there in the nacelle. They did a high speend run, one evening out of St Mawgan (Cornwall). There was a short briefing, and we asked if it could go through the sound barrier. It was pointed out, that with 4 Olympus engines, same as the Vulcan, it would in theory be no problem, but the wing panels might get a bit bent, so that was not going to get demonstrated. A while later, In the middle of this, I had to go to the loo, no problem, unplugged headset...got in the loo, replugged after I was sat down to hear,"Hi speed right turn, HANG ON, GO!".......Not the best position to be in on a high speed turn, I can vouch for that, MAN did I HANG ON! I sort of fell out of the loo after the turn and the Nav spotted me, They all got very concerned that I was ok,,,,I was. They had forgotten about us passengers, and they knew never to be there.....lesson learned. lol.
  13. Magic, I had some trips in these out of St Mawgan & RAF Akrotiri...shows my age, even had a right hand seat for about 20 minutes. All trips were bumpy, horrendous down the back, but much easier up front...keep up the good work and THANK YOU
  14. Hi, I'm being thick, because I'm old ok. Can I confirm this only works as an AI aircraft. It shows up in ME like I should be able to fly it, but I have no cockpit. I have turned on & off the Clock icon in ME, no change, it is like an AI aircraft in my game. My UH-60L works fine and I can fly that alongside. Any advice appreciated, I does look nice though Thank you
  15. Got the download from the link above, not the first page. Looking forward to this thank you
