Paradox

I love the way it looks like it's just not built quite right, like the wings were an afterthought and they couldn't quite work out where the CG was. It's a good looking aircraft and probably a lot of fun to use. However I think Leatherneck should do whatever they feel qualified to do the most.

I am excited about getting to use a fighter which is designed for turn capability rather than energy fighting. So that makes me interested in the Spitfire. I forsee most of my time being spent in the P-47 though, the complexity of its controls interests me. I don't think I can get behind the German design priority of having everything automated, I want levers to push and handles to spin. That's why I want a Russian fighter at some stage.

If the MiG-29 got an AFM and 6dof cockpit it might well be my favourite but for me right now it's the F-15 with AFM.

This is interesting actually, being able to get the contents of the DVD as a download would interest me more than the physical DVD if only to save distribution costs (which I know are not insignificant with international shipping).

Imagine having to guess which one of those returns is the C-130 you're hunting above the clouds. Not an easy job.

It's interesting, a lot of people seem to feel like this and I'm not sure I understand it. Can anyone elucidate to me the reasons that you feel that the Me 262 is such an interesting aircraft? I understand that being among the first operational jets using experimental technology and using design decisions that you don't necessarily see these days is cool but I know next to nothing specific about those aspects. Just curious.

What a brilliant combination of professions for members of a small company :D I don't think too many people can say they've worked in that kind of environment.

Community skins will exist in the first month anyway, it's not worth complaining about. Historical accuracy is great but you actually want simulators to sell in Germany, it's one of the biggest markets.

Might be good. I did finish Battlestar 2.0 eventually but I found it such a drag after the 2nd season.

LABS is mental. I hope we get one in Belsimtek's F-86 but I wouldn't count on it, as you say not many of them had it.

ohhhhh, you've done well today!

Nobody is going to be charged for extras beyond the aircraft itself. I really don't understand why people keep asking for new charges and wishing for unscrupulous business practices. Just think about the complexity of implementing paid skin packs into multiplayer that everyone can see.

I am very sorry that you felt you had to make that post Dolphin, I'm quite aghast at the behaviour of some people in this thread and I hope that the guys at Leatherneck trust that the vast majority of us are still very supportive of the project and of you guys personally. Just settle down some of you guys, really.

Time to crank the engines and get these birds flying I think. Quite an elegant feat of software engineering to get this little backer + forum permission system to work and it seems to work almost as intended. Puts me in a good mood for the future.

Too early for that. It's yet to be demonstrated that the communications problems have gone away just because now there's a new place for people to be ignored in.

Actually a very elegant little system going on here. This ought to be good.

Well there it is. I hope this system works. And I hope Ilya actually uses that backer section of the forum.

Personally I think the Eastern European front is more interesting but I agree that it ought to be one thing at a time. To tell the truth the reason I think the Eastern Front is so interesting is that I dream of one day flying a DCS quality YaK-3.

Oh hey I forgot to do this #17838 Location: Devon, UK

Estimation from watching a lot of Rudel's streams, there's quite a bit of work to be done on some aspects. I can't really speculate on any vague amount of time it'll take because I don't know what their development schedule is but it certainly won't be ready by the 30th.

Yeah, there's easily another couple of months work that needs to happen before we can start discussing revised release dates.

I'm glad you've got it, it's a cool ship and it's worth learning how to manage it. The better you learn the Mi-8 the better you'll learn the Mi-24!

I can't wait to see what you can do with it, you're an amazing pilot.

It's on the panel that sits between the pilots, the SAS channels are turned on with the green button and off with the red button. The heading hold is the one on the far left. My problem with the Mi-8 is weapons employment, I haven't found a good way of engaging with rockets or guns with the fixed sight.

I reckon a CBU on the deck would make them think twice. You'd never get that close of course.
