Not much to say except "I want this".

Hey guys not sure when I’ll be back. The wind storm took out our power in the area. Left 45% of the town dark. Give ‘‘em hell!! And tell the ground crew to polish and clean my machines for upon my return. SALUTE Angry Goat

As the title says

@Erhardt mentioned this video to me. Got a chance to watch it after he took off for the evening (morning). Definitely really interesting.

Hey everybody! I managed to cobble together some footage from working corners at Brainered International Raceway a few weeks ago! I hope it can potentially be enjoyable so you guys can get a bit of a "Behind the scenes" from real life racing things. I was only working flags on this one, but I may be doing more events both volunteering and driving as we come into the Fall! https://youtu.be/LMs8F1UJl4Q

Just heard Hotlead announce on his stream that he got engaged. Big congrats to you both! What a wonderful journey you have ahead. Really happy for you

Here's a Mod that automatically re-starts recording when it' reached the max size and shuts off. I don't think it needs Mods on and I also think it will still do an acmi file for Tacview: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/51226-il-2-great-battles-recorder/

Posted by Glowing Anraam on the forums, here is a quick clip of the new damage model. 😀 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4321821&postcount=1082

Seems 1C is having another sale. 10%-75% off of collector and battle of modules.

Three years ago today I landed in Duxford for Flying Legends 2017. I actually arrived a day early to check out the museum, which has an incredible collection of WW2 birds. I even got to sit in the cockpit section of a Bristol Blenheim - was that a tight fit (I am not a big lad by any stretch of the imagination)! I took some pictures along the way, thought I'd share them here for your viewing enjoyment. Please excuse the subpar quality, I'm not a very good photographer... I resized them to 50% of the original size so the upload time is manageable, the internet here is a stinking pile of horse manure. Anyway, enjoy! Day 1:

Goes without saying we're all simulator fans here, but do many of you enjoy RTS games? I picked up SDII for cheap in the Steam summer sale for just £12.99 or so. It has a LOT of depth to the combat and division building with a pretty interesting campaign mode on top of the expansive skirmish modes offline and online with others and/or AI. It's set in 1944, specifically around the time of Operation Bagration, the code name for the Soviet offensive to ensnare and destroy army group centre and send the German defences into disarray. Literally hundreds of units to choose from both Axis and Allied sides. In the base game the Allies are primarily the USSR, with US, Ca…

A quick look showed they've added SRS radio... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/12826-game-updates/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-969527

Posted by BlackSix: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/63323-important-changes-for-the-battle-of-moscow-maps/?tab=comments#comment-968945 In the upcoming version 4.008, we'll fix the incorrect value of the height for the entire BoM maps surface. It will be brought to real values and increase by exactly 50 m. It really needed to be fixed. In this regard, we'd like to provide you with the fastest and easiest algorithm for adapting your missions and campaigns for BoM to this change. So, after the update 4.008 release, you will need to take the following steps: 1) Back up all your BoM missions and campaigns. 2) Load your mission and check that all c…

Not much to say except that I'm VERY excited for this weekend. Can't wait to see how the boys in orange do in the race, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Carlos. I also wonder if the pink Mercedes is going to live up to the hype. Ze Germans picked up right where they left off in 2019, dominating free practice. I was hoping the Red Bulls would be nipping at their heels, but the RB16 appears skittish and tricky to drive. The Italian teams are nowhere - looks like the pandemic affected them worst. Renault's pace seems promising, but I'm not holding my breath - their response to Danny Ric's departure to McLaren for 2021 has been anything but professional. Looking forward to …

S! guys! Happy July 4th my US friends!

Kameraden, Much better with NVIDIA GTX 1080 ti FTW3 (running fans full blast), NVIDIA Profile Inspector set to default. Thanks to Sheriff for sharing his settings. And I did this..... S!

I was clearing out my inboxes and came upon my certificate. I spent a lot of time in their courses, finishing all but the last bomber course, I believe. It was a wonderful flight school based on IL-2:1946. I met a ton of fine pilots and instructors and I hope they are all doing well. I only know of a few that are no longer with us, such as Lily. I wish I had all the material they had, it was all great theory.

Please, Please, Please ! My Birthday is August. https://www.trade-a-plane.com/search?category_level1=Jets&make=MIKOYAN&model=MIG+17&listing_id=2382482&s-type=aircraft I like the fact the guy selling it is named Vlad and since it's built in 1960 is close to being out of early access. S!

Kameraden, I know weird, but one of my customers purchased his Spiderman movie suite and has it in his office. S!

S! All good sized update today. Option available to restrict 3Dmigoto and reshade. Update says that 3D migoto zoom not needed anymore. Zoom in game has multiple options. Update list here: Update 4.007 Dear friends, We've decided to release the new update 4.007 relatively soon after the previous one, because the fixes and improvements it brings, while not being major, are nevertheless important for the project as a whole. We have heard your feedback on the view system improvements, added new options to the multiplayer functionality, which govern the usage of graphical mods, in addition, we did additional resea…

Been awhile but I thought this would interest all the rest of the Aviation nutters that hang out here too. MIT Private Pilot Ground School 2019, F-22 Flight Controls https://youtu.be/22u4qxm1YjY Hour long but it kept my attention that full hour. Wheels

Kameraden, Did a bit of streaming during our testing last night, this was a very impressive start. S!

This includes specific dates for free trials on specific modules so read carefully and plan.

I'm happy to be the first to congratulate our own Hotlead on completing all of the requirements for his college degree. This being an extremely unusual year, he will more than likely be deprived of the standard graduation ceremony that normally would take place at any American university. Regardless of this, he has his family who are undoubtedly and deservedly very proud of him. I want to add my own congratulations for a person who I am sure will be able to overcome any challenges ahead. S! and Well Done, Hotlead!! 👍
