[We can dream]

Funny thing is, flying an airplane IS multi-tasking, which women are better at then men.

[IL2 Update]

New update is out.  Seems they added crew and accessories to the free tanks.  They may have also fixed the invulnerability issue with the free T-34.

[Merry Christmas to All]

Beneath the tree of light and life, a blessing at this season of Yule!

To all that sit at my hearth, today we are brothers, we are family, and I drink to your health!

Today we do not fight, we bear no one ill will.

Today is a day to offer hospitality to all that cross my threshold.

May the Gods look favorably upon the path that you travel.

Merry Yule and Happy Holidays.

 

[Christmas Tree And Gifting Thread]

We dont have the tree up yet, but we've made progress on the house.  Wife still wants to put lights up around the lower windows, and in the dormers.

Congrats guys, well done.

That's an apt metaphor, with computer-driven design becoming de rigeur we will be seeing new designs coming out in no time at all. I wonder if the future of air combat will involve automated factories pumping out drone after drone, with incremental changes taking place on the production line rather than generational leaps being made. 

Anyone who has seen Terminator knows that could possibly end badly

[BoX update out !!!]

For any mission builders, the update screws up any missions you have.  You have to go to the "Tools" menu and resave all missions in folder.

S! Kliegmann,

No problem, can you send me or ask Vonrd for your WW2 emblem in .PNG or .SVG.

Thanks
GenMarkof

Von said he pulls the emblem directly off the roster.  Are you able to do that?  If not, 

[Unofficial JG1 'Tank Crew' Skins - New updates coming soon!]

If you could put one together for me, that would be awesome

[Microsoft Flight Simulator Back.]

The 172 is a VERY stable aircraft, and is actually very difficult to spin.  It isn't surprising that people are having problems spinning a 172.  When we did our incipient spin training in flight school, the first thing our instructors taught for 172 recovery is feet on the floor, hands in your lap, the 172 flies out of a spin.  Then we were taught the proper technique.  For CFI spin training we used a Citabria, not the 172.

I've been flying around the Bonanza and the Baron

[Unofficial JG1 'Tank Crew' Skin Pack Vol.1 & Vol.2!]

Yeah, think I counted 20

No, the rings around the barrels of the main gun, are kill rings.  They would paint one for each tank they would kill.  Both the tiger striped cammo 614 tiger and panther have kill rings.

[Unofficial JG1 'Tank Crew' Skin Pack Vol.1 & Vol.2!]

Are you going to leave the kill rings as they are, or are you going to update them each time someone kills a tank?

[Microsoft Flight Simulator Back.]

I just learned that if you buy anything greater than the standard, you will have to go into the options menu and DL the extra planes and airports manually.  I bought the deluxe so I would have the analog 172, and the Baron, and it was an additional 1.56GB DL.

[Microsoft Flight Simulator Back.]

Got it, took about 2 hours for the install and control set up.  Did a night flight from KMKE to KJVL in the Bonanza.  The visuals are stunning.  Very impressed overall

I do agree Vonrd... it's weird... in the hangar, the numbers standout pretty good... but with the light outside, it's a complete different thing.
I will try a thinner outline... and we will test it after that!

Gen

Is the inner number/letter solid red?  These are how the numbering/lettering was actually done.

 

[Unofficial JG1 'Tank Crew' skin package coming soon...]

For the numbering system, because Klaiber and Brit are head of the Geschwader, they would be Regiment commanders, Numbers R01, R02 respectively.  Moxy and Vonrd, being the head of 2nd Group, would be 2nd Battalion Commanders, II01, II02 (roman numeral 2).  Staffel Commanders are Kompanie Commanders, Lipfert and myself 500 and 600, our XOs 501, and 601.

[Unofficial JG1 'Tank Crew' skin package coming soon...]

I would suggest NOT using the "S" in the number.  The only reference I can find of Panzers using the "S" was a SS unit.  Use the "R", which is what they used for Regiment leaders, or a roman numeral I for 1st Battalion, II for 2nd Battalion.

[Microsoft Flight Simulator Back.]

Is there a 3rd party making a 210?  I'm really hoping my Carnado planes, and Ifly & PMDG 737s transfer.

 

[Microsoft Flight Simulator Back.]

I have not pre-ordered, but I'll be buying next week.  I have a new Air Hauler 2 Company set up, based out of KMKE, and ready for the new sim.  Bonanza to start, hauling cargo.  Then I'll reconfigure the Bonanza for passengers, pick up a Baron to go with it, and a Caravan for cargo.

[A taste of TC]

Regarding the Panzer M, you need to use the correct tactics.  If you try to slug it out face-to-face, you're going to lose against T-34s and KV-1s.  A platoon to PZIII-Is and PZIII-Ms can give an entire T-34 platoon a nightmare if you attack correctly.

 

[JG Juggernauts???]

Well that plane has seen better days.

Before I read the quote, I was going to say it looked like he taxied over a bomb or something

[Congrats Hotlead!]

Congrats Hotlead may your bachelorhood rest in piece.
