Klaiber

I didn't know he died. Awful news.

Really amazing work, Geezer. I love the fold-out photograph, and the newspaper title clippings. It really makes it feel like a real journal. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Very cool! Definitely awesome.

You should check out the English cockpit mod. Made all the difference for me, as my Swedish is zilch. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2400126/

Congrats!

Very cool vid Sturtz!

Very cool! This is a great chance for people to pick up the Normandy map, the WW2 assets pack, the Mirage and the MiG-21. *nudge nudge*

That's really cool! I hadn't see that before.

I've seen this! I actually think they make some very good points. Everything thing he says here is a completely believable in-universe answer to the nature of space combat in Star Wars. So definite thumbs up. However, I still hate The Last Jedi. I could write a diatribe on the reasons, but they're all story related, and stem from the movie's misuse of Luke, Chewie, R2 and Rey. I also think that the First Order is bumbling and incompetent. And that because they are, they really aren't a believable threat like the Empire was. Why is Hux still in command?! The only competent officer they seemed to have was Captain Moden Canady, who commanded the Fulminatrix. And they made sure to kill him off. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Fulminatrix

Great video!

This looks like a fantastic exhibit, Maus! You and your family must be thrilled. I'm not sure when I'll be in Montreal. But I'd love to see this.

Hey Lip, hope things calm down for you. Hope to see you when you get back!

I hope you both don't mind, but I've moved this to Rules Questions. Vonrd, that's an excellent overview. I think other, on both teams, will get a lot out of this!
