Salute all! Was a lot of fun this evening on Wargrounds! Here is the archived stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/234229608 See you all next week!

Cool video! I liked the music choice. You both got some pretty sweet kills there. I must confess I was shocked the first time your plane blew up. Being a Vickers and Spandau guy myself I had totally forgotten about the possibility of missiles lol!!!

For capturing footage, I use FRAPS or NVIDIA’s in-game video capture (used to be called ShadowPlay...not sure what it’s called now). For creating simple ROF videos, I use Windows Movie Maker. It’s great if you want to do something quick and/or don’t want to get bogged down in lots of options. For videos where I want a lot more control over editing, I’ll use PowerDirector 15 or Hitfilm 3 Pro. Hitfilm is a bit on the pricey side, so I’d recommend PowerDirector is you’re looking into getting a good editing program. Both these programs give you a lot of editing options, plus the ability to layer multiple video and audio tracks over one another. However, the learning curve is steeper than Movie Maker. IMHO, it’s worth it, as the extra control I get in video editing is so useful for what I do. However, if you’re just looking to create a quick tutorial, all that might not be necessary for your purpose. Hope this helps a bit!

Congrats gents!

Had one or two. A bullet-filled DH.2 does not fall to earth like a snowflake. It's honestly a fun change of pace from "super-serious" flying - although I really like that too. Flea and Careful make it a hoot, especially with their dialogue: Flea: "We are fighting an E3!" Careful: "No, you're fighting an E3."

Salute all! The 3 Ring Circus took the craziness to NFF today! Here is the archived livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/232842450

Good luck Von! I'll try to cover for training this Monday.

They had black or light grey as options. I chose light grey. Maybe they are the same as the old white ones? I’m not sure. We’ll see when I unbox them!

Just got an invoice for the pedals and sent the payment. They should ship within 7 days now.

Salute all! Had a lot of action on Cuban's server tonight! Here is the archived livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/231836712

Got an email from Milan saying that my order was ready. In 48 hours, I should get the invoice so I can make my payment. Then, he should have them shipped a few days after that.

Butzzell would be the man to talk to. I’m busy tonight and Wednesday, but I should be online Thursday evening with the rest of the squad. I’d love to fly with you then!

Here’s are some songs I really like right now:

Hey guys! Had a good time as always on Wargrounds this evening! Here is the archived livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/229477594 Had a near-death experience with a certain Dolphin pilot near the end of the stream. Salute to the pilot - he demonstrated amazing proficiency in the ensuing fracas!

Great to see ya here Sturtz!

Hey all! Here is the archived livestream from today's shenanigans with Furious Flea and CloakedCareful: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/228126701 We started out on the Syndicate server and then moved over to New Fliers and Friends at about the 33 minute mark. From navigation and balloon busting on a full-real server, to killing SPADs in E.IIIs in the furball-frenzy of NFF, this stream has it all lol!

Haha! Milan's website said that the delivery date for new orders would be February 20 when I ordered. I have yet to receive a notification that the pedals are ready and awaiting payment however. Also considering that they come from Croatia, I assume I'll be unpacking them around early March. I'll keep you posted!

Lots of action on Cuban's server this evening! Here is the archived livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/227128859

Flight sim blogger ShamrockOneFive wrote a really nice article promoting our event. Check it out! https://stormbirds.blog/2018/02/07/join-jg1-and-103d-aero-in-thursday-night-rise-of-flight-battles/

Congrats guys! It's not the getting shot you should be proud of; it's the staying alive and coming back again each time that you should be proud of.

Haha, I had the same thing!

That could very well be it. Granted, when I first hooked up the spare pedals Raz sent me, I still got occasional disconnects. Also, the 2 USB 3.0 ports in the back of the PC appeared to be dead. However, when I went into the Device Manager, right clicked on my PC, and selected "Scan for hardware changes," the ports went back online again. An online article I read suggested that if some devices were suddenly disconnected from a USB port, it could cause the port to act "dead" when it only needed to be reconfigured. Everything seems to work fine now. Since I scanned for hardware changes, I have not had a single disconnect. We'll see if my luck holds. I am very hopeful!

Hey guys! Had a great time flying this evening at the Thursday night fly-in! Here is the archived livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/224793087 PS: No controller issues this evening!

Thanks guys! I am glad you enjoyed it! Actually, Jason Williams personally commented on the ROF Facebook group. O_O Here’s what he said: “Cole Austin - excellent video! The team thanks you for your effort. Flying Circus will be even better. Salute!†I couldn’t believe it! I think he was impressed by the dedication and vitality the community still shows, even 9 years after ROF’s release. You guys are the reason for that. Salute!
