Perth in mid-July was warm when I was there. "Winter" is itself pretty slippery, with multiple definitions. Astronomical and meteorological are two, but other cultures use different dates. For all we know Heatblur has their own methods for determining seasons, and possibly even years. Let's not forget the Georgian calendar is just one of many... A little surprised the F-4 wasn't released last Monday since I tore the simpit down for an early D check over the weekend. Going to be a few more weeks before it's back in the air. So to speak. Figured with all the map updates and other assorted niceness in the pipe better now than later. 3

So 2 weeks is actually over 9 years. Which seems to fit well into the time stuff takes to happen in DCS. 8 1 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 5090 OC, 128Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

The rest of the time is spent on piddling things that on the forums takes seconds, but where the code hits the screen it takes longer than that to check out the file, and potentially days to track down why setting the strobes to 'FLASH' causes Clown to wet himself. If it helps, and it probably doesn't, it frustrates the developers as much as the customers. Here's something to tide you over. No idea why we don't get a 'CONV OFF NUCL ON' switch. We need one in our jet. Edited December 13, 2023 by Raisuli 5
