Slick Fork

A super easy one - the instant action free flight has about 10 minutes worth of fuel on-board. Probably want a little more gas in it than that!

I really enjoy helicopter hunting missions with the L-39Za. I had a great fast mission set up hunting helicopters with a solid ceiling at ~500ft AGL. You had to drop in, locate the helo's and smoke em before you ran out of terrain & had to climb above the layer again. One of the most enjoyable flights I've had in a while.

I tend to go through most of them in spurts. I'll fly the Ka50 for a week, get tired of it and switch to the a-10c for a bit. Those are probably the two that get the most stick time. I've been flying the L-39za a lot recently as well. It's maybe not the fastest or most maneuverable but for some reason I just really enjoy flying it. Maybe it's the simplicity, I don't have to (re) learn all the systems every time I get in, I can just get in and go. Additionally, it's a plane that a guy could actually buy and fly privately if he ever had a spare half million so I think that's part of the appeal for me as well. The other planes I have (F-86 & FW-190) don't seem to get as much stick time. With the -86 I get frustrated with the seeming ineffectiveness of the guns. I can sit there behind a Mig-15 and unload completely, scoring good hits according to the debrief and yet it still flies. Really fun to fly though. Maybe I'd like the Mig-15 better. The 190 I just don't think I've had enough time to try out so I'm not quite in love with it yet. I did have a great "fast mission" experience, set it up as a dog-fight 2 on 4 expecting that the computer would set me up against similar opponents, turns out it was 2 190's against 4 mig-29's... a very short engagement but I did get 1 mig on the merge with a lucky cannon burst. More and more I'm moving away from the flaming cliffs planes. Now that I'm used to the clickable cockpit I find having to remember keyboard commands for everything rather tedious. Really looking forward to the F/A-18, & the mirage showing up on steam. Hoping for some Vietnam war era aircraft as well. Cheers,

I did the upgrade path and found performance was about the same. Did a clean install of Win10 on a freshly formatted hard drive and everything is night and day better.

I agree, One of my favourite parts of Janes F/A-18E (My intro to flight simming) was the radio chatter you'd hear. Made it so much more immersive.

I took the plunge on the weekend and grabbed the X-55. So far I'm very happy with it. Definitely a big step up!

I'm also curious, My X-45 is starting to show its age and the price on the X-55 seems to be where my budget is.

Hi there, Just getting into DCS world, had a copy of the original black shark and loved it, now waiting to see if BS2 will have a steam sale soon. Anyways, in the meantime I'm learning the SU-25T and for some reason the pilot log screen is recording my total time, etc. but if I go into the tab for Su-25T, it's blank. No time, kills, etc. have been recorded as specific to that airplane. Is this a known bug or is there a setting I'm missing? Cheers,
