I would have probably opted for the Crystal Light if I had known about this. The battery has been an issue (battery life) with my Crystal Sim. The only downside for the Light version is the lack of eye tracking which makes quite a difference for me for clarity in the focus area while reducing GPU load using foveated rendering. The Super looks great but quite pricey. The Light looks to be the best replacement for the G2 and doesn't have Zuckerburg in your room. Waiting to see how it compares to Big Screen Beyond. 
The Light starts at about 8:00
 

I AM SO EXCITED!!!
Amazon just released a new series Fallout based on the game. Fallout 4 is one of my top games of all time, and in fact I've been playing through it again for the third time, this time on my PS5. Previously played on PC, PS4 and VR (though was disappointed in the vr version as controls are way too cumbersome so didn't finish). We just watched the first episode and they did a fantastic job with the atmosphere, props, etc. Even down to the first aid kits on the wall, the stim shot devices, tv's and even some of the classic Diamond City Radio music tunes (I have those songs on a playlist that drives my wife nuts if I play it)....all like you're in the game. It's a different story line and location but it's all there from power armor, Brotherhood of Steel, ghouls, and of course vault dwellers. I'm hoping next episode to see some bloat flies 😅

I'm not a drummer but I find this channel interesting at times.  They will have drummers on breaking down their songs. They have discussions on drummers but my favorite is this.  They bring drummers on and have them listen to a drum-less track and see what they will come up with.  It's interesting watching them break the song down before they attempt a play through.  I'm posting this one because he does a good job with Primus and I can't see Primus being an easy band to break down.
 

All,
We're proud to announce a new collaboration with the IRFC and Syndicate squadrons:

Let the dogfights begin!
. . .
Fellow sim pilots,
Today is the day that we've been looking forward to sharing with you all for several months. Admittedly, the Ad Astra camp has fallen silent in recent weeks. This silence is because we have been planning a major restructure that will fundamentally shift the composition and goal of the Ad Astra project.
Today, Ad Astra ceases to be produced by one squadron. It becomes a true sim collective comprised of the Imperial Royal Flying Corps (IRFC), Jagdgeschwader 1 (JG1), and Syndicate Squadron (SYN). These three squadrons all have rich histories in the sim flying community.
IRFC was founded in 2010 and provided "IRFC Bomber Nights" to the fledgling Rise of Flight community; after an 11-year hiatus from server hosting, they founded Ad Astra in mid-2023.  JG1 was founded in 1992 as part of the Red Baron online community; in the following decades, they have been pillars of the WWI flying community as producers of the Flanders in Flames campaign. The Syndicate was founded in 2006 and, as producers of the "Sunday Vintage Mission" series, nearly single-handedly kept the Rise of Flight multiplayer community alive for three years. These three squadrons will be teaming up to deliver you the first multi-era server in IL2 multiplayer history. Moreover, we hope to provide a WWI experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWII aviation community while delivering a WWII experience that is accessible and enjoyable to the WWI community.
We will focus our WWII experience on the first aerial battles of the Second World War. To start, we will deliver the Battle of Britain; the Battles of France and Belgium will follow this.
A typical week in the Ad Astra server rotation will look like this:
Mondays WWI Rotation Maps Tuesdays "Aces Rising" - WWI Community Event Wednesdays WWII Rotation Maps Thursdays "Aces Falling" - WWII Community Event Fridays "Bomber Nights" - WWI Community Event Saturdays Periodical, Organized Campaign Nights on Ad Astra Sundays "The Sunday Roast" - WWII Community Event Stay tuned for more updates! We appreciate your patience as we strive to deliver this new, exciting gameplay experience.

I just checked my Discord Cache_Data and my folder is 18 mb large, I have never looked at it before now, which makes me wonder why mine is so small, while Vonrd's is so large? 🙈

The magic between ships and sailors.
GOOD for you!  Always enjoy seeing others enjoy.

I didn't want to be biased but agreed, Mig-21 needs some help. The Gazelle could use help but I fly rotaries for fun so I don't care if its bugged.
The question about more content missions, campaigns etc. I don't know were to start. There are too many module I would like some campaigns for.

Spudknocker. Sorry I should have posted the whole thing. 
 
 

I was just about to point that out.  
Definitely looking forward to the MiG-17/23/29 that are all in development.
I wonder if RAZBAM will put a pilot model in the 19 when they do the 23?

Kinda went down a rabbit hole with the 23, saw a Enigma video explaining how the 23 is the "missing puzzle piece" for the cold war game loop and I have to say he made some good points with his presentation.

Oh yes.  We're very excited for the MiG-23.  And the MiG-17 as well: https://stormbirds.blog/2024/01/01/red-star-simulations-mig-17-update/

There are a few of us that are looking forward to the Mig-23 so I'm sure we will use these in some form of another.

Just saw it today.  Was amazing.

I saw it yesterday and I have also not read the book.  My only regret is I have to wait for part 3.

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
 
 

That explains it, felt bad smoking the engine, really dumb on my part just glad I survived and able to get a couple kills and 100% again...
 
Thanks
Yes sir Reverb2 and I'm recording using OBS from the monitor image, at 1920x1080 at 30fps (OBS some times de-syncs if I record at a high res). I then use my processing software (VideoPad) to upscale to 2K to keep file size reasonable.
