Hello everyone! As you all know, WW1 aviation has long fascinated me. I believe the story of WW1 (and even more specifically, WW1 aviators) tends to be overshadowed by WW2 and doesn't get as much press as it deserves. I also enjoy reading/writing and now that I no longer have to write college papers (woo hoo! 😁), I occasionally get the itch to research something and write about it. That being the case, I present to you, "Climbing Higher" - my personal blog on all things WW1 aviation! Every so often, when I have the inclination and free time, I'll be posting articles about WW1 aviation to my personal blog (linked below): https://rookieace.wixsite.com/climbi…

Augmented reality Working on cutting the cable, (Oculus app and Meta) I found this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpTEwMso-IE DCS kneeboard, pinkish file, Virtual Desk Top, works out of the box My keyboard, desktop capture, sorry, but my keyboard and hands are in the pink

Worth sharing your input. At the end I suggested the module most needing a refresh is the Mig-21 https://forms.gle/RD1xBvNNDYuYVgrw7

If I didn't already have PointCtrl I would consider this.

I just got curious this morning on if the MIG 23 would be ever coming to DCS and low and behold, I saw this article https://stormbirds.blog/2024/01/24/dcs-mig-23mla-status-update-from-razbam/ If this gets released this year, would we start implementing these? I dont know that much on the 23 but it looks like a really cool aircraft!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing very well. I just noticed that IL2 is on sale and I was wondering, which version do you guys usually fly on practice days?

BB-35 back on the waves again. That was pretty fast I thought. Sure nice to see something such as this and good news for a change

S! guys!

I can't say that I'm totally convinced but I like the attitude of saying, "We know it's going to fail but we want to see just how it fails". It's all important data. They KNOW it's going to fail but their test vehicles are not so exorbitantly expensive that they can't absorb that failure, learn from it and progress to the next stage. EDIT: The fact that there are no human lives involved is a significant factor. It seems that there are always individuals willing to put their lives on the line to further knowledge of the currently unknown... Chuck Yeager, Scott Crossfield, two who survived and/but, unfortunately Geoffrey de Havilland, Mel Apt and numerous others who …

Yeah, this is my jam... Hoping for this in DCS or IL2.

IMO, this is the best part of the update: you search for an assigned command by pressing a button on your control device

Watching several videos on IL-2 this evening to prep me getting back in the cockpit and I was thinking, has 1C ever dropped any hints to a possible pacific expansion? The pacific theatre is easily my favourite in WWII, I just adore the naval aircraft of the IJN and USN. Leatherneck studios dropped a massive news update for their utterly gorgeous looking Vought F4U Corsair and its left me wishing that we could see a pacific expansion for IL-2. I'd be reliving my Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 days in F4F Wildcats and Zero's or the B6N2's etc. A man can dream... right?

Looks interesting and fresh / different: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/87265-battle-of-the-channel-1918-special-fc-multiplayer-event/

There's also one on the Me-262 and the Okha.

Pre-release view

Starts in one week. I have high hopes... Please don't screw it up Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman!

Looks like the era is filling out nicely....

😭 I'm glad that I was able to experience it at least... back in the 90s. https://airrace.org/news/2023-to-mark-final-year-for-national-championship-air-races-at-reno-stead-airport/

I thought some people here might appreciate this: https://amnesia-restored.com/ This is a restored version of the text adventure game Amnesia, originally released in 1986. It was written by sci-fi writer Thomas M. Disch and programmed by Kevin Bentley.

Gentlemen, I just saw this video I found quite interesting regarding what's upcoming for IL2. Some interesting things they mentioned: Karelia map to be added Odessa map to be added Ta-152 plane Yak-3 plane New graphics (I hope performance will keep up) New damage model ... and new trees (finally! 😄)

Wishing the Jagdgeschwader 1 community the world over a healthy, prosperous and a VERY Happy New Year in 2024 !!! Wheels
