  1. OK I notice on all your sigs *3rd party developer*. I may have missed that previously, but better tha congratulations to come late than never heh? So a big CONGRATULATIONS (even tho it's a tad late). I hope this bird is parke don my private apron one day before too soon. She is beautiful!
  2. +1, well said. With reference to those of us who will only play if it's free, it all depends on our own personal preferences I guess. Some people will find value in the product (as I), and some people will see little value in paying for the product. Remember though, no pay don't play the addon. I'll be buying the VEAO product and probably also get the US version that I think Razbam are producing. This is such a niche market that I get palpitations every time a young starbuck lets his testosterone rule his keyboard :D, because it threatens that which I desire ... and yes you'd be right, desire is the source of all misery :doh:.
  3. Congrats! Well, if you're that adept at bending the laws of nature to your will, I'm not at all surprised you're a pilot. The only surprise is that it took you so darn long to do it! :D (... you lucky bugger :joystick:).
  4. Oh I think Timmy's got a cannon orrrright, prolly just cold ... but please be mindful that this is a family show.:chair:
  5. Too late ... or else I have the flu! :D
  6. Re the YF-23 Thanks be to Odin for that.
  7. Funny. I got FSX Gold Ed + Accelerator for $24 @ EB Games. Bought VRS Superbug from Avsim for $44 and haven't paid anything else. Could join the forum with no issues.
  8. Well, I'm looking at the debate another way now, so I seek to clarify my current thoughts on what can appear a rather turbulent issue. Initially when I raised the original topic on BMS, it was because I truly am impressed with the strides that the BMS crew have taken converting the original Falcon 4 to the jewel that is BMS F4.32. They have done a stellar job, there's no doubt about it. It's easy to see that with a work of such exquisite attention to detail, that the devs approached the task as a labour of love. I too would be defensive I guess that the sim that I pour my soul into should be assumed some way to be inferior ... and as a study sim of a fast mover (the F16), it is most certainly NOT inferior. Using the metaphor of the production of fine wines, they (BMS and DCS) share a common product base from my view. The flavour's though are subtley different, while being equally engaging. If you write off either BMS or DCS, you're missing out on some fantastic flavours ... as long as your perception isn't blinded by "oh it's dated graphics" or on the other side "oh it has no Dynamic Campaign" etc. When you burn through the barriers, each sim will entertain within the world of immersion that each creates. Invariably in debates like this type, the conversation gets somewhat bogged down in the DC or a lack of one. Personally DC was never my thing as I would often see something weird during the campaign and think to myself that that wasn't very realistic. However, my recent foray into DC on Subs suggestion is proving to be very immersive and far better than it ever was in the past. Let's face it, there probably always will be anomalies in BMS DC just as there are anomalies that we live with in DCS: World. My wish is simply that one day, DCS: World will attract the calibre of 3rd party devs that were driven to weave the magic of their imagination in BMS, when the time comes for the Viper to be crafted within DCS: World. A life without passion is a life poorly lived. On that score I tip my hat to the BMS team and want them to know that I truly enjoy and appreciate their labour and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. I hold the very same sentiment toward the DCS devs as well. All of you guys fuel my hobby and I want the very best outcome for all concerned .. especially for me :D. Cheers!
  9. from FlightGear Wiki. Does it work? No idea ...
  10. How come RAZBAM don't have a forum spot yet? Just curious :)
  11. Happy birthday Nate :o). At long last, we get a Tornado!
  12. Moi? Sorry mate and thanks for pulling me up, I can't remember doing it. Must have been overcome with emotion :D.
  13. Oooh! Looks good! Hope ED give you guys a contract.
  14. Well, if DCS or a 3rd party dev team starts to model WWII era fighters .. we'll get exactly that.
  15. Why is it that we worry obsessively about something that hasn't happened yet? The dire scenario's that play out in our minds are nothing ... no substance ... just a whole bunch of negative conjecture with no basis on reality :cry: Don't worry, be happy ...
  16. Are you SERIOUS?!? It's an 'orrible ornicopter! :D DCS ooozes fast jet, and the A10 was just DCS getting up to speed (which is why it's slow). I subliminally checked in the deepest recesses of my sub-conscious and DCS could also ooozefighters from WWII era. Would I lie to you Mustur? No way! :music_whistling:
  17. Same here :thumbup:
  18. This is interesting. I'm seriously intrigued now! Does Accufeel run with VRS or are they incompatible?
  19. Thanks! My life is officially on hold! :pilotfly:
  20. Quote taken from SIMHQ forum: A: Molly Wagstaff: Yes, our next DCS aircraft will indeed be a very popular U.K./Italian/German variable wing aircraft. It is too early to lift the curtain on it, but based on our customers feedback, we are confident there will be a lot of very happy flight simmers. Trust me! I't a fake. They're dead wrong ... the quote that I've got says something quite different (see above). I think it's just wishful thinking on the OP's part. :P Oh, and let me be the first to welcome Molly Wagstaff (whom I presume is helping out with DCS announcements), to the High Fidelity Digital Combat Flight Simulator Community (H.F.D.C.S.C). Welcome Molly! :D
  21. :lol: thanks mate, you just made my day!
  22. Shit-a-brick! I'm very envious. Mind you, a pit of that complexity and fidelity, surely deserves at least three monitors!
  23. Thanks for the tips Subs, I really appreciate it.
  24. Oh yesss! This is news is totally wunderbar! :D
  25. :lol: You're right ... now that one was in a class all of it's own!
