  1. I was under the impression that the "free map" would be released with MAC and was a chopped down version on the PG map?
  2. Yeah, Boyd's bio was a dry but super informative read. I loved it, some pretty funny anecdotes. I've been into aviation my whole life and I had never heard of him until I picked up that book at a thrift store.....I was pretty impressed with him, had no idea that he had pretty much steered USAF tactical aviation right to where it ended up by Gulf I, ensuring the USAF had the planes it needed to complete the mission sets presented after so many years of more or less planning for "the Big One" to come out of eastern Europe. An incredibly forward thinking individual. I think my favorite story in the book is not about aviation though. Stormin' Norman presented his battle plan to the White House and it was another large scale, mass frontal assault, what Boyd had always called "hey diddle diddle, straight up the middle". Well, Donald R was one of Boyd's cronies back in the year, took one peek at the plan and threw it back at the Gen, telling him "nah, figure out a way to go around it all, the come back with THAT in your new plan". The plan executed by coalition forces was more or less a product of Boyd's battlefield thinking. Pretty impressive that it came from an aviator's influence, correctly assessing history and what could be changed to make modern assaults less costly for the good guys!!
  3. I came across a bug, not sure if it had been posted yet, and please forgive me if it has, I just didn't feel like wading through 45 pages of bugs to see if it had. I hope everyone understands. I got jumped by an AI MiG-21 who got a heater into me close range. I turned the tables on him and pulled up Jester to get a lock onto him, but the menu popped up blank with a dead/leaned over Jester and it says "Jester incapacitated". Well, that's fine, but I could not get that menu off for the life of me!! I had to look at it while making a belly landing and defending myself!! Attached is a pick, and if a file of any sort is needed I will happily dig out whichever one you need. thank you for viewing, and again, my apologies is this is a dupe thread. If it is Moderators please delete!
  4. You musta got my package, I ordered 2 of them.....
  5. Actually...... Just today I had a real RIO in my Tomcat, and he was clicking knobs on my UHF radio that I was too ignorant and/or blind to find on my own, so..... Also, either one can flip the ejection seat arming for the pilot's seat. The Gazelle had it separated by side of cockpit/system. Some of it made sense, some of it did not. I'm also a layperson, ie not a Gazelle pilot, so maybe in real life they split it up per real life responsibilities.
  6. I read a post a while back regarding a flyable/study version of the B-17 and wholly agree with what was said. Basically it's a novel idea, but no one wants to sit in a Fort for hours on end in a realistic fashion of how it was used, not to mention that the Normandy map is actually quite small and wouldn't properly support strategic missions as they were flown. Personally, as neat as I think that plane is I feel like it be a big waste of time and money for very little reward to a dev. There are dozens of planes we'd all rather be flying!!
  7. I'd buy it. Always had a soft spot for the 'Vark, even if there isn't enough thrust in all of Christendom to make it a fighter ......
  8. Hi!! anyone know what I have to do to remove the camo paint from the "toilet bowl" when I load these skins up then add sand filter? Before adding sand filter: After adding sand filter:
  9. Was that Stephen King that said that? In my mind it was Morgan Freeman who had said that?
  10. Funny exchange, that. Enjoyed it quite a bit!!
  11. He's probably talking about how it wanders once you get going really fast, kinda like how the Sabre does.
  12. Or if you have Windows 10 you can pull it up in the "all apps" menu, click Eagle Dynamics, one of the .exe's there is an updater.
  13. I also got emails for the two different shirts I ordered. Woot!!
  14. Is the Corsair is still first out of the two though?
  15. And +1, I'm with Seph on this. As much as I love it sometimes the FM feels a little whacky
  16. "I don't care if your friend sleeps over, but we'll have to ask your father"
  17. Yes, but it may be a matter of "don't hold your breath...." and you never get to fly either of them! I personally like the Gazelle as a light strike, I think having the very capable 105 at some point would be awesome!!
  18. LABS is a toss bombing sysyssysystem for nuclear deliveries. The DCS Sabre can't put nukes aboard so skip it. And yes, I know it could be used for conventional bombing, but what a waste of a sortie eh? ~Rob
  19. "We need some US Navy Helo love too. Maybe an SH-60 or SH-2 Seasprite. CH-46 Sea Knight would be even better to go with the Harrier and Marines" Or a CH-53.....
  20. Flew again today on TigerMerc's server. I absolutely LOVE this little plane! ~Rob
  21. I get it, but seeing a Corsair rolling into the groove period gives me chicken skin lol...I want my Hog!!
