Kameraden, Was lucky enough to spend better part of a day exploring a stunning dig. This site: Akrotiri (Greek: Ακρωτήρι, pronounced Greek: [akroˈtiri]) was a Cycladic Bronze Age settlement on the volcanic Greek island of Santorini (Thera). The settlement was destroyed in the Theran eruption sometime in the 16th century BC and buried in volcanic ash, which preserved the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks. The settlement has been suggested as a possible inspiration for Plato's story of Atlantis. Akrotiri has been excavated since 1967. History The earliest evidence for human habitation of Akrotiri can be traced back as early…

I have a good track regarding the MiG-15 gunsight that I'd like to make a video of. I think it would be helpful. I am totally ignorant on how to do so. I just did a Google search and got frustrated. It's late and I thought it best to ask the community for recommendations. I have Shadowplay, OBS Studio and Fraps. I'd like to add voice commentary. Please direct me to good tutorials. Thanks.

Thought you'd like this one:

Just testing to see that the site is not down. It's been very quiet today.

I would like to make this a sort of discussion thread here because I find it very interesting how claims worked throughout history. As a good example the way German pilots in WWII were expected to actually see the pilot bailout or watch the plane impact the ground and they needed a wingman to confirm it is pretty much as strict as it gets. That's a far cry from how claims were handled in the RAF which seem to not need any witness and its pretty loose as to what gets claimed as damaged, probable, or destroyed. I am curious if we have specific ways we are supposed to claim in Richthofen vs Oesau vs Schmenkel. I did read the "kill policy", and I am wondering if that is …

we have finally begun work on improvements to our controller assignment system. In Rise of Flight, we had a great system for assigning key maps, joystick curves to custom input profiles which could be assigned to individual planes or set as default. The system worked well and was popular. We are now taking the time to add a similar system to Sturmovik and we think you’re going to be very happy with it. I hesitate to show you such early, early draft images, but they demonstrate where we are headed. Also, we are adding the ability to virtually adjust the pitch like we had in ROF, which for WWI crates makes them much more comfortable to fly and increases the fun fac…

S! all JG1 server will be down for a little over 24 hours for power supply upgrades. Should be back up by noon on 12, August.

Kameraden, Enjoy !

I just installed and it looks really good. I didn't see any issues with increased GPU load. Took a bit of time (30 secs?) on the initial load. Here's the link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3319690/

New update out with new planes and other stuff but be warned: Everyone, We are preparing 4.703 for release, but BE WARNED changes in this update affect track recordings, so if you have TRACKS you want or need to view still, please don't update yet (when it's ready) or back up your 4.702 install so you can access them later. Jason Most likely. Always make a backup of course. Jason

Since 1900 CET we (Dutch users) have a massive disco with Discord, also Spotify seams to be affected.

Greetings fellow pilots! I recently migrates from War Birds to IL*2 and now find myself spending my time in the FC server. Found this site looking up stuff on flying the Camel. Saw you wanted to hear from od Red Baron pilots so here I am. Handles in RB in order FTStoner, BummerNB, BKInferno, SkyfuryWM.

Hey guys, It's been a while, but I wanted to check back in with you guys. I have been really getting back into flight sims on a regular basis, and although I still fly WWII with ACG, I really miss having a group for canvas and wood wings and afterburners. I was wondering if you guys have a discord that you coordinate for flying because I know you have the Racing one. Also, I have been running some training sessions recently for ACG, and I have really been enjoying that. I find myself pulling a lot of information from the basic course you guys ran me through, and I was thinking a lot about that as well. Klaiber, I really appreciate how you run this g…

So, do we still call it Texaco? Maybe Duracell? Carpe Diem by Niklas Eriksson

Hey guys! been a while I'm posting this since I figured one or two of you wondered where I have been. I have been gone for almost a full year now. As usual school has been kicking me in the butt so I haven't had much time to commit to online flying😕. I intend on joining back up in the fun promptly! Happy hunting guys, BernTeas o7

Since this is the beginning of a new year and everyone is making predictions and resolutions I thought i would call on the collective talent here since you guys pay attention to this so much more than I do.... what do you think the future (say 1 year) is going to have on TVs and computer Monitors??? I am wondering about both.... one of those MONSTER 83"+ TVs so I can see the puck during the hockey game all the way from the couch and new computer monitors... is anything new coming down the path? I see the prices going all over on the BIG screen tvs... seems they come out and the prices go down without too much time going by... but that is just a general observa…
