The tipping point for me came at Afghanistan, whoops Amazon had to deliver a 2TB NVME to replace the 1TB DCS one and then a clean install

No smoke without fire

It's not just the range at H-H, between Leopoldsburg - Hechtel-Eksel there are the tank, artillery, and rifle ranges as well as the Sanicole airstrip. Leopoldsburg is where operation Market-Garden was planned and set out from. The dark line that runs from the north down and crosses the road at Molenheide is now a cycle path but during the time of the map it was a railway line, we use it frequently to visit our daughter in Zolder There are also many military bases and infrastructure dotted around the area, some still in use and some still there but derelict and some have been built over now. This was/is heavily militarised area. Eindhoven is not that far to the north from here.

And also no mention of Sanicole Airfield, the tank piste and shooting ranges there between Hechtel and Leopoldsburg, Sanicole was a training field associated with Kleine Brogel up to recently and the ranges are still in use, we hear them almost every day They still drop paratroopers over Sanicole. Then there are the training areas at Molenheide and Houthalen-Helechtren, the H-H range is used by aircraft to drop ordnance and while the A10s were here they used it for tank plinking I could hear the Brrrrt of the GAU8 in Eksel and while I was working in Zonhoven they regularly flew overhead.

Nice! Can't wait for phase 3 and our local airbase to be included KeeBee and some F16 to fly out from there, now if/when the F104 is released... Goetsenhoven is that not a small grass strip? I go there regularly as we have friends that live there, it is not even as big as Sanicole that is not included, and Sanicole has an annual big airshow which I have been going to every year since 2012. I live about half way between Kleine Brogel and Sanicole and am directly under the flight path where the F16s turn from downwind to base. Bitburg! Yahoo! drag raced there a number of years ago with some USAF friends

The NASA simulation, not an actual live test then with the AIM54? This AIM54 in DCS is a simulation of a simulation then?

Thanks for the info I will get to it when I get back home. No, not solved it, it will be November before I have the time to look at it. Such is the life of a pensioner I will be out the country until then so no PC- well one that is too old to run DCS so same thing

Well with this last update I have run out of space on the SSD, 40GB short to complete the update I did miss the last 2 or 3 updates so that might be it.

Sanicole Airshow is promoting the Lancaster for it's show later this month

That was back in the days when a flight was £21 per hour and I worked for an engineering company at the airport, had to give it up when my first kid came along, that and the prices in 1980 went through the roof, in a mater of months it went from the above to over £60/hour couldn't afford it!

yeah, thank goodness they removed the need for front number plates in the UK round about then, my Honda CD175 had the same arrangement for it's front plate, they got removed shortly after the pic was taken. I have another pic of the bike on the peri track of the local airport, have to dig it out. We were allowed to use the peri track for all sorts on Sundays back then, I also flew model aircraft there on a Sunday, Wednesdays were my day for Cessna 150/152 flights to Orkney for lunch fill the tanks up and fly back to Wick.

Never met my mother's father, he passed away the year before I was born, my father was the baby of the family and his father was old when I was born, he was over 90 when he passed and I was 4. My father was in the RAF at the end of WW2 and he took us to the airshows Our family history is more with the sea than the air though, and even now being a retired marine radar tech I still mess around on boats and have just got a new one

Thanks Always do, been going with my grandson since he was 2 he is now 16. I have been going to airshows for 60 years now, started when I was 8, got to see the Gnats, Lightnings, Mosquitos, F104, even a Beverly once

I hear she is coming to our local airshow at Sanicole this year too.

When first posted I could see the lower ID lights pictures, but now they are gone

Not sure either, wtf is a " Maneuver Rating 0.0." and what has that to do with the price of a Grand Slam on the common market?

It's now gone for me too, but it was there at lunchtime when I looked at it. Something wonky going on with this web site/forum Edit: Slippa's socks are still there though

Working at Waddington a few years ago - maybe 20ish - having a break from the duties and wandering down the flight line came across a stall for the the Belgian Virtual Tigers as I knew of them from Frugal's days I bought a few of their items including a BVT T-shirt, the lady on the stall was the mother of one of the young lads and she forced note pads and sticky notes into my hands, those I used up until fairly recently and I still have the BVT T-shirt though it has faded quite a bit now. I never knew back then that I would end up in Belgium living under the flight path of the KB airbase

Thanks for the reformat @Victory205 can read it well now Nice write up thanks for doing it.

@Super Grover I see a lot of black text on a dark background, can you please reformat that for those of us that use the dark version of the forums? Thanks

Well at least Nightwish got their single out today and tomorrow our training session with the boat has been cancelled until next Wednesday, so I may be able to fit in a download of the module

Have you tried Pathfinders? an ITV series about the Pathfinder Squadron of Lancasters during WW2 Can't find any other full episodes on U toob, I have the complete series of 12 episodes on DVD

For about 30 seconds, gave me severe disorientation as I could not get the lenses to line up with my eyes and could not get the images from the two lenses to merge into one image. I have had eye surgery 3 times and it is as close as they can get but still my eyesight is not perfectly aligned. ( this is one of the reasons I really dislike (only stronger) the F-14 cockpit and it's f-ked up graphics.) Track IR I have been using since the late 1990s and now on the Track IR 5 pro, it works well for me. Was walking through Glasgow last week with the wife and seen the Oculus 3 in a second hand shop (pawnshop) for a bargain price, teased the wife about getting it and got a definitive NO from her

Ye gads I can just see the Grim Reapers now with their canopies off and riding into battle with the M4

Seen it posted up on their facebook page this morning
