Beirut

If every page has multiple contributors and the sole reason for the thread is to repost already publicly available information, then it's a "community project". Not to mention it's on ED's website. That's doesn't diminish the value of the thread, in this case it adds to it greatly. It's different than a content creator's independent podcast on his own YouTube channel.

And it's back again. Cool.

Apologies if I came off snarkier than intended.

It wasn't "his content". That thread contained posts by lots of people and was part of the ED forum ecosystem, for lack of a better term. It had well over a million views I think, and doubtlessly a large chunk of those views were for other peoples' contributions. It's a shame that one of the most informative and enjoyable threads that many contribute to comes and goes at a whim like this, as it has before. And it might be back in a week and then disappear again the next. Oh well.

You throwing shade on my L-39? Besides, everyone needs a good vacuum cleaner.

Same here. But I've still had many good flights on the Sinai map. And of the maps I use the least vs. the planes I use the least, I get much more enjoyment from the maps. There are a few planes I'd give away if I could, but I wouldn't give away any of the maps. In the end, I'll probably get it because I'm a sucker for new maps. At the very least I'll get my money's worth. And the map might surprise me. I bought the Iraq map not expecting very much, but I really enjoy it. Might be the same with the Balkans.

I'm a big fan of the L-39. The C-101 gets a lot of love on a regular basis and might be a better module, but I enjoy the L-39 more. Just threw in the NS430 and I like the way it sits in the instrument panel, as if it belongs right there. I have the MB-339 in the civvy sim and I really like it, but not so much in DCS, not sure why. For me: L-39 FTW!

Defintely room for all tastes and opinions. I really enjoy the Kola map. Top 3 for me.

I have no great interest in a Balkans map. But I hate to have to change my signature... We'll see.

Looking forward to my C-130...

Good point.

It's Friday again. Unless we're told no, it's a definite 100% mayyyybe.

Indeed it is. And ED has the source code, so even if the third-party developer of the splash screen stops supporting it, ED can still update it and it will continue to work. (Okay, that was almost funny.)
