Beirut

Yep. And even I made a few contributions. Many threads here have several thousand views. A few have 100K+. That thread has over 4 million views. It's obviously very popular and it's in everyone's interests to have it remain active no matter who handles the content.

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.)

I just figured it was the price of success. As in getting the game to turn on.

Lacks emphasis. Needs more "oomph!" Better to say it as... VoiceAttack! I never fly without it. Best $15 I ever spent on DCS. I haven't bought version 2 yet. Maybe today.

I'm sorry to hear that. I really enjoy the map. Top 3 for sure. I find the west of the map great for scenic flights. Looking forward to flying the C-130 on this map in rough winter weather. Hopefully the map will grow on you and you'll get some enjoyment out of it.

I'll read about it on my phone at work.

What he said.

When one door opens in life, another closes.

I was waiting for a big reveal at the end. "Coming soon to DCS... " That was cool.

That was a quick sale. Just a few days. But I bought the NS 430 for my wonderful L-39. Good fun and love how it sits in the dash. Cost $4. You may thank me for financing the next big module.

Bought the L-39 during the last sale and I keep finding myself loading it up. The C version, no gunsight or weapons. Just flying for the sake of flying and navigating and takeoffs and landings. Really enjoying it.
