I am getting old and giving advice.... heh heh... sorry. Just FWIW it seems to me that internet scammers are getting more common and more capable. I just tried to sell furniture on Craig's List in DFW and was instantly contacted by a scammer, they got nothing and I am assisting the people that work to bust this sort of thing. Next, I know some of you guys build models, I got pinched for about $70.00 by an outfit called INTERNETHOBBIES.com and you can google them and see all the other people that have been screwed as well. Bottomline is before you do business with a new place, regardless, take a moment and check them out online. We have been spoiled for a lo…

~~Salute!~~ Just wanted to take a minute of your time and brag about a group of friends who have been flying flight simulations since 1992: The Wing Walkers (virtual) Combat Squadron. It's been my distinct pleasure to be a member of the WW's for 99% of that time... While I wasn't one of the few who started the squadron, I was part of the first rounds of recruits to join a couple months later. I am also one of the few remaining from the 1992 era who is still actively part of the squadron. Earlier this month the WW's had their 20th Anniversary "Get Together" in San Diego, California. The center-piece of the WW Get Together was enjoying the MCAS Miramar Air Sho…

I'm checking it out.

For all you fellow rebellious colonials, stay safe out there!

S! to all our friends in Canada. Enjoy the holiday.

DCS SUMMER SALE Not be outdone.... DCS announced their "Summer Sale" today. That and along with the F4U getting closer... the funny thing about the Corsair is that it really doesn't have a cockpit deck. When we bought the P-51 we really wanted the F4U but there were fewer of them around. HP if you have seen that on the tail, was Howard Pardue a SWA captain and the history of him and that machine are kinda famous (make that infamous) in South Texas.... but I will spare those stories because I wasn't there. Still, we were talking with him and getting the load on the airplane in general... it is a hydraulic nightmare, I think 14 sequence valves. They told us e…

Good news everyone! Mi-24P is due for EA release TODAY! Please view the following post: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/272848-dcs-mi-24p-early-access-start-date-planned-16th-june-2021/page/4/?tab=comments#comment-4693573 I hadn't pre-ordered but the discount at time of this post is still live for anyone still on the fence.

I imagine most of y'all are like me in that you have a very cool/inspiring/beautiful wallpaper on your PC. I find one I like allot & it stays there until I find something I like better. Always being in the market for my next best wallpaper, Show me your wallpaper! My own is a lovely scene of a pair of F-14s.

I live 2hrs from the Wright Patterson AFB museum so make it a habit to go every year. Last year due to covid restrictions I didnt go. For years they have had a MiG-15 & 17, you can imagine my surprise & delight when I went today & saw they added a 19, 21, 23 & 29! (the latter they have had a few years but it was not on display as it was being restored). This was my 1st time seeing a MiG-29 in person so it kinda made my day!

I am SOOO looking forward to this! Release date · August 27, 2021 (United States)

Exciting news here! 😎

I didn't know that this was even possible: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/71401-additional-models-for-tacview-for-ww1-aircraft/ I haven't downloaded or installed yet.

Thought WE had problems... Starting at about 2:15... The pilot of Speedbird 116 showed some extreme patience... I would have started screaming at her. "Maam, I can't taxi without starting my other engines.. 🤣:
