Gentlemen.
9-10.9   was the Paris Villaroche Air Legend airshow near Paris.
I got a ticket from my mother in law so I did visit it and Tomas decided also he would like to go too.
Was great event with rarely seen aircraft like Tante JU52 or MS 406.

Gentlemen I got an awesome gift last year from my wife.
A flight with the Zeppelin from Friedrichshafen, the birthplace of the Zeppelin over the Bodensee.
Due to weather we could not make the flight last year, but it worked this year.
I made some nice photos so take a look in my album.

Outside view from 352nd Pers's aircraft of our group takeoff on Friday's session. I didn't kill him during our Friday session but I certainly made up for it on Sunday...

I came across this pic I kept from years ago. Even more valid today with the new tech that keeps improving.

Mouse Pad:

Was going through some old files and had the covers of these clipped

Did something a little different with my most recent video. I did not live stream it, not quite that handy yet, but I did record one of our 352nd VFG group sessions and I uploaded that recording later that night. Took just shy of 1 hour and 49 minutes to record the flight and then just a paltry 10 hours to upload it to YouTube...
The video includes our TeamSpeak chatter.

Hey guys, 
 
Wanted to share this, pretty interesting how they apply the technic, specifically while going against F-16!

P.S.: This video is actually linked in the F-1 Chuck Guide

For those of you who did not see today's ED newsletter, Aerges, the compagny behind
the Mirage F-1 and Aviojet C-101, are working on the F-104
 

 
So the list of Luftwaffe aircraft just got one longer:
Typhoon F-4 Phantom Mig-29G Panavia Tornado Fiat G.91 Sabre Uh-1 Bo 105

Found a new program called EyeWare beam.  Also head and eye tracking using a webcam, with open track. At this point, haven't been able to get it to work, with a "playstation eye" as cam. 
 I just recently move'd my monitors, for correct FoV, and perspective, and pixel visibility...Its crazy, depending on monitor size, how uncomfortably close one has to be in order for the virtual world to be correct. DCS and IL2, both worlds function correctly at 90'ish degree FoV. On a 32" monitor, that's like 7" from your face!!!! VR wins!!!
 (With my set up, Im at 31" for 140 FoV. Feels good (real)...But have to Zoom to 90* FoV, for the games "math" and perspective to be correct)
 

S!
 

Hi, 
Friday last week we had again some great sorties together with SIA on Finnish Virtual, made a Vid out of the 1st mission I participated:
 
From JG1 @Heinrich, @Greif and me attented, from SIA Noken, @Stahl, Suren, Koss, Taipan and Mitts were flying 
...we did some more very nice sorties on that evening and I have also some recordings from them, but so far I did not even find the time to take a look at that material, so not sure if some other films of those sorties will follow (allthough I plan to do it)
Salute 
Etzel

Todays update will give you a 504 error, you will only be able to use the 2 free modules.
if you have updated its reported that if you revert to an earlier version you still get the 504 error

Focke-Wulf Fw-190A-4, W.Nr. 5533 of 6./JG1 as flown by Oblt. Wolfgang Leonhardt; Woensdrecht, Netherlands, October 1942. Leonhardt scored five kills over the course of the War, before meeting his demise on February 4, 1943 whilst engaging an Allied bomber. I played with the tire_D and the tire normal files to bring out the lettering. I hadn't realized that they were Continentals. Submitted to User Files. Here's the link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331242/

Here's the latest. Glass plates / platters along with a video of the process (his is a bit larger than mine but the same moves. The final spin is really exciting.
 

Salute all! I’ll be online on Sunday in Flugpark at 1:00pm (FiF start time) Central US time if anyone wants to join! Also, I’ll be live-streaming my flights on Twitch.
For comms, I’ll be on the Flugpark Discord, to better coordinate with the other German forces. As a backup, I will also have JG1 Teamspeak open for cross comms if needed.

All,
Just a quick heads up regarding the legacy Rise of Flight forums:
