To be the stick in the mud, but how would we execute that? DCS' lacks ranking, things to award, etc. This almost seems like it'd be something the community or communities within DCS would have to push. Which, frankly, I think would work. If done right, of course. The typical youtube click farming how-to crafters would not be a good fit for that.

Whoosh.

I'm tempted to fly out and get pictures of the section in Topeka.

I had flashbacks to the overly bloated adminmods on any Half-Life game server.

Oh, so like the MiG-19S they kept saying we'd get? Or the A/V-8B manual?

Well, then maybe they should consider changes.

That's what we're all hoping for. I'm very skeptical of RB and their intentions, but frankly? I've had a lot of fun in the MiG-19P and Mirage 2000. I want to see them in the DCS ecosystem. If and when the Mudhen returns? If major changes have happened at RB to improve their output, responses, and what not? I'll happily buy it.

I kind of wished that you didn't. That's so damn bizarre! I'm curious to know what was causing that.

Same, I'm seeing higher temps, as well. I also have a throttle limit set in my bios at about ~95C or so. I'm not too concerned, but I would like it to be looked at for sure.

Just watch any DCS youtube recommends you get; you'll get a neverending flood of crap with INTERMITTENT all CAPS to EMPHASIZE a FALLACIOUS POINT!? complete with someone with a dorky expression in the thumbnail.

Or a leg!

Considering that 30% goes into the support of Steamworks (which picked up the slack for many games when Gamespy went down years ago, free of charge), development of the software that makes it infinitely superior to any comparable service, expansion of features, the advent of new tech both in terms of software AND hardware, as well as excellent customer support and protections, and many other features? No. No, it is not 'scummy.' Not by a long shot. The only reason it became a talking point is because Tim Sweeney, noted scumbag, planted that line in an effort to gather support for Epic's own vastly inferior platform at a time when it was even more barebones than it is today. This is perfectly demonstrable when you compare the fates of the 1998 releases of Half-Life and Unreal. You can still purchase Half-Life without issue. It saw a switch from World Opponents Network to Steamworks fully in the mid 00's, has been updated to function with modern monitors, and STILL receives software updates from time to time to fix issues. Unreal has to be acquired through a fan site now as Epic has delisted them from sale. Any updates have to come from enthusiasts taking their time out from their days to develop them. EVERYTHING has to be done by the community. I guess it's cool Epic gave oldUnreal the blessing to distribute the ISOs, though?

A Pre-IOC Panther would be disastrous. If we're expecting a production F-35 and we get something like AF-01? That's like asking for a ribeye and then getting eye of round. Yeah, it's identifiable as a steak, but is it the steak you wanted?

If that were the case, one party would've just frolicked off by now. We would have seen otherwise. This situation benefits neither party in its current state. But, updates will not be forthcoming as there isn't a decent legal counsel out there who isn't going to tell anyone directly involved to keep quiet. It's satisfying to us to assume negligence or malice, but it isn't necessarily correct.

I hear you out and, frankly, good taste. If we had the recon versions, that'd lengthen the window of time even further. I wrote something about it not too long ago that put it all the way into the 80s for EU operators. That'd be awesome. But.. hear me out: https://www.fairchild.af.mil/News/Features/Display/Article/763107/the-lost-mission-fairchilds-bombers-and-the-ficon-project/ Yeah. For max insanity.
