Nice aircraft, used to see a civi version come in to Wick quite regularly. On a side note are you going to Sanicole this year? http://www.sanicole.com/index.php/en/

I'm with you there too, the Chippy was the first aircraft I flew with the ATC back in the early 1970s. I like VEAO's idea of having the full course of flight training modelled from Grob to Typhoon :) http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2122426&postcount=1 I thought I had seen a Chipmunk in their BBMF section of the road map, Ah well.

Adblock plus works extremely well with Twitch if you are finding "interuptions" to your stream ;) Works for most well known browsers :) https://adblockplus.org/

If you seen the live stream from Matt, at the start on his splash screen there was an icon for the Mig 28 ;):music_whistling:

The robots are taking over...

I got that as payment for spending a day demoing business software at an exhibition :) One I have just remembered that I used to play a lot was Flight of the old dog/Megafortress based on the story by Dale Brown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megafortress

As a kid I seen an aerobatic aircraft spinning down until close to the ground at the end of a runway then flattening out and in to land on the runway, for long enough I thought that was how ALL aircraft came in to land :joystick:

Would love another bottle too, tho, getting it over to Belgium here cost as much as the bottle did:cry:

Off to the Reno air races with your P51 or Mosquito Racer :pilotfly:

Mmmmm my favourite! Kasteel Donker They do make others too... Scotland does some strong beers too... Tactical Nuclear Penguin by Brew Dog 32% ABV stout

It works just fine on my kindle app on the laptop and on my iPhone, it just doesn't work on my old Kindle (keyboard version) wasn't until I went to bed last night that I got a chance to download it to my laptop, which is my preferred version to read on.

"Not compatible with your version of Kindle" :( have to see if it works on my laptop kindle app

You are lucky you didn't turn up for the BBQ... my youngest decided to do the cooking and give me a rest :thumbup: He has still got his learner plates on :music_whistling:

But not for long... :joystick:

Happy birthday Nicholas, the birthday BBQ starts at 18:00cet this evening and you are welcome to attend :) ps. it's my wife's birthday today too :D

Thanks for that, Mum was a bit of a petrol head herself, only thing she didn't like was motorbikes and that was because she promised her father not to go on one, she kept that promise. That was just the beginning, started the cinema project in the early 80s, now after moving home a few times I have my own cinema and can game in it too, :) Not got any pics of DCS running in the cinema tho, but it does give a great feeling flying in there, the screen is 3.5m wide :D

1. Started with LOMAC at the International Flight Sim Show at the Hilton in Birmingham in 2003. I had been looking after my mother who was dying of cancer and my brother had come home on leave to give me a break, so off I went met up with a good few flight sim online friends from Frugals Forums and sat drinking with Frugal and friends through the night, got about an hours sleep before having to go attend a lecture on LOMAC by Oleg. Picked up a demo disk of LOMAC and awaitied it's release, I have one of the original numbered hard bound manuals for LOMAC, I followed through with Flaming Cliffs etc. and then with the release of DCS Blackshark it was an instant buy for me, so been here from the start :) My mother passed away about a week after the flight Sim show, I still miss her. 2. On the news, one had crashed and they were trying to recover it from the sea, I was still more fixated on the EE Lightning and the Vulcan at that time ;) 3. It's got wings, it has got two BIG engines and it shoots missiles what's not to like??? :D First sim I had with the F14 in it was Birds of Prey, it was my go to aircraft in that sim, later Fleet Defender got hours of "simming" 4. Our cinema had long closed and the nearest one was over 100 miles away in Inverness, I was starting to put together a home cinema so my first viewing of Top Gun was at home with some friends and a good supply of Woods Navy Rum. The friends that were with me that night were the same ones that I went off to the airshows with, sadly most of them have slipped off their mortal coil now. 5. Never even seen a F14 up close never mind getting in one :(

What screen? :D Is the Edge coming with Edge too?

Not utilised in the North Atlantic? requote: I remember the exercise quite well as they used our local beach at Sinclair Bay for some of the landing exercises, and seeing the aircraft carrier parked on the horizon it looked huge from the shore.

It was this anecdote I was remembering from Tomcat Bye Bye Baby
