Heli Shed Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Hi all, It's been one year since we folded the 74th vfs 'The Flying Tigers' and during that time some have faded into obscurity, some a clandestine pose waiting to pounce when DCS Nirvana arrives (aka EDGE, dedi server, new net code, yadda yadda), and some have maintained there DCS 'hit' by flying with our friends from the community. Tonight Javelin and I had a little play around on the VA server. For me one year out has been one year out - zero flying basically and I have to say what a wonderful surprise I had!! I had downloaded the latest DCS World iteration and the 100's of £'s worth of various modules I own and then began to marvel at the graphical improvements made in a year. It was always beautifully crafted, always, but taking a year out, you really notice things. Building textures, Oil platforms, fences, the 'noise' level of the grass, the SU27 skin (wow!), the AFM of the F-15, the reviewed KA-50 Vortex ring state inducement (hint) - cockpit rattle and many more. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank ED, the testers and the modding community (i saw a fair few) for what I personally know, has been a tireless drive for the good and benefit of the community and the product we all know and love as DCS. I enjoyed going out with my DCS 'girlfriend' tonight (metaphorically speaking of course - I'm married, happily for 25 years with 3 kids to prove that (sortof) and get 'it' regularly!), it was a genuine joy and somewhat of a fond reminiscence. I'll visit her again every now n then and see how she's shaping up - nicely it seems! Wishing you all well.

Chonker Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Ey oop Tyger, funny, I've just been playing around with DCS again the last week or two and I was thinking the same thing "I don't remember this game looking this good" :D Especially from the (low and slow) viewpoint of the Huey, looks pretty great now!
chris_lancaster Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 TYGER! How have you been and how have I not seen this post before? But to be honest I don't come on here much as it tends to grind my gears. Glad your back on DCS, and I am glad you enjoyed your foray back in to the world too! Things have improved (slowly but in terms of DCS standards its actually quite rapid!) I think on the back of more revenue from coining out WW2 stuff to catch people coming over from warthunder wanting something a bit more realistic. I still fly occasionally on the VA server mostly, but I took a bit of a laid back casual attitude towards DCS as of late. Although I have not been clandestine, I am definitely waiting to pounce when DCS Nirvana arrives! Catch you around T, Regards Gryphon. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I go by 'Gryphon' on MP.
