  1. I'm getting together ideas for my next build, which is a dual system in the new Phanteks Luxe 2 but having a hard time commiting to a $1500 GPU. The build is going to be water cooled no matter what, so here are my ideas so far. My current system is below and does ok in VR with the Rift S but I'm looking to improve it. Anyone with experience with the 5700XT or 2080 Super? Idea 1 MSI MEG Z390 ACE $250 i9-9900 $440 64GB Corsair 3200 $330 MSI RTX 2080 Ti Sea Hawk $1,500 Total= $2,520 MSI MPG Z390M Gaming Edge$187 i7-9700K $350 32GB Corsair 3200 $165 MSI RTX 2080 $690 Total= $1,392 Idea 2 ASUS ROG Z390 Maximus XI Hero $282 i9-9900 $440 64GB Corsair 3200 $330 ASUS ROG RTX 2080 Ti $1,242 Total= $2,294 ASUS ROG B360-I Gaming $126 i7-9700K $350 32GB Corsair 3200 $165 ASUS ROG RTX 2080 08G $800 Total= $1,441 Idea 3 MSI Prestige X570 Creation $500 Ryzen 7 3800X $400 64GB Corsair 3200 $356 MSI 5700 XT $410 Total= $1,666 MSI Arsenal Gaming B450M $80 Ryzen 5 2600 $133 32GB Corsair 3200 $178 MSI 5700 XT $410 Total= $801
  2. 24 March 1999 – During Allied Force, Dutch F-16AM J-063 flown by Major Peter Tankink shot down one Yugoslavian MiG-29, flown by Lt. Colonel Milutinovic, with an AMRAAM missile. This marked the first air-to-air kill made by a Dutch fighter since WW2. http://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article607.html
  3. Then why bring it up? :huh:
  4. Possible U.S. source? https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Cylinder-Piston-Black-Rubber/dp/B008BXZ9X6
  5. Updated the list, thanks to mvsgas for the information.
  6. So the 100th FS is a CUPID F-16C Block 30 it seems, as if trying to visually ID the blocks wasn't hard enough lol I'm also trying to stay along the 2007 time frame as well. I know there were some post 2007 deactivations.
  7. I'm just hoping for an updated AI F-16C model to cover the other blocks. Although, I do think flyable versions of the F-16 should be released as 50/52 covering both engine variants but that is just my opinion.
  8. PACAF 35th FW 13th FS 14th FS USAFE 480th & 23rd FS 22nd FS 23rd FS 480th FS
  9. ACC 55th FS 77th FS 79th FS 522nd FS 85th TES
  10. Below is a list of the USAF/ANG Block 50 CCIP Squadrons, if you know of any I missed let me know and I'll amend the list. I will post pics from each squadron for reference as well. Command Squadron/Base/Tail-code ACC 55th FS Shaw AFB SW 77th FS Shaw AFB SW 79th FS Shaw AFB SW 522d FS Cannon AFB CC (Deactivated 2007) 85th TES Eglin AFB OT ANG 179th FS Duluth IAP MN AFMC 416th FLTS Edwards AFB ED 445th FLTS Edwards AFB ED (Deactivated 2015) 514th FLTS Hill AFB HL 40th FLTS Eglin AFB ET PACAF 13th FS Misawa AB WW 14th FS Misawa AB WW USAFE 22nd FS Spangdahlem AB SP (Deactivated 2010) 23rd FS Spangdahlem AB SP (Deactivated 2010) 480th FS Spangdahlem AB SP
  11. Is auto trim enabled? I tried it out and experienced the same issue.
  12. Viper AMU @ Nellis will always be one of my favorite units to have been involved with.
  13. One thing is for sure, Crew Chiefs and Weapons were definitely involved with the aircraft on a day to day basis, I did more electrical work on A-10s & B-52s compared to F-16 which always had more dedicated electricians for those jobs. Some pics from my 1st Korea trip, good ol Kunsan.
  14. Sparkchaser comes from my first job at Lockheed as an electrician on the F-22, I was a weapons guy on F-16s along with A-10s and B-52s.
  15. Some of my photos during my time working them, really enjoyed being apart of the Aggressors. If I can find the larger versions I'll post them up.
  16. The Gardena PN 39035 is no longer available, anyone know of an alternative?
  17. I see 80 in the menu and 40 in game with ASW off which usually drops to 27 during heavy missions. I'm running 1.5 PD and 2x MSAA and it's usable.
  18. I just switch over from the Rift to Rift S and the difference is amazing. I love the fact no external sensors are needed and the pass-through is also very helpful. It is also more comfortable and I was fortunate enough not to have an issue with the IPD.
