How do you get a CFI to go away? Pay him for the pizza. 

I’ll definitely be delivering paratroopers for an airfield seizure at 600’ after an NOE ingress.

Outstanding piece of work!

This month, JG1 officially turned 30 years old. 🥳🎉🎂 As you all know, JG1 has been actively involved in combat flight simulators since 1992...before I was even born! I joined JG1 in 2015 and can say that I found my home in the first try. JG1 is the first flight sim squadron I ever joined and, as far as I'm concerned, is the best flight sim squadron in existence. (Ok...maybe I'm a bit biased, but I feel it's true!) I appreciate the leadership of this group - past and present - who have kept us in active existence for 30 years and who have fostered a culture of levelheadedness, honor, and respect here. From day one, I've been floored not only by the professionalism of the group, but also the willingness to include new pilots (like I was once) and take them "under the wing" so to speak. I've appreciated the group's willingness to have discussions that help us all improve and I appreciate that we all work to believe the best about each other. It's the kind of organization whose tag I am proud to wear in public and the kind of squadmates that I am honored to be associated with. 
Here's to the next 30! 🍻

Looks like they're at least trying to distance themselves from the fact that they're a vassal state.

Every IRL army heli pilot on YouTube (thinking particularly of Casmo here and I'm sure Snaggle has said the same), says that the vortex ring state (settling with power) aka VRS as depicted in DCS is wildly overblown as to how easy it is to induce. Helicopters aren't anywhere near as bad as it seems. Hopefully ED is working on taming it. I personally think they have with the Hind, and they just need to back-engineer that into the previous models.
 

The Virpil collective is amazing. As a virtual helicopter pilot my flying (which was already fantastic) is now amazing. My skin has cleared up. I traded up to a hotter trophy wife. I have fat stacks of cash, and celebrities are asking me how I make life look so easy.

You're an incredible helicopter pilot. Yuge. Everybody says so.

Oh and yeah shout out to Tripp Lite UPS! Unfunded recommendation to any and all.

In Star CItizen I find myself struggling to find use for the collective and throttle axes in a way that makes sense for me, but the additional hats are indispensible when coupled with my Warthog stick and throttle.

The peer pressure is mostly applied by just me. Now I have company.

What size is applicable for 1-3 PCs?
