He was trying the E-1. But I'm curious what would happen with the E-4. Drucker, have you had any better luck?

I like them.

Moving out is a great song. I've always really liked Allentown, The Downeaster Alexa and of course Goodnight Saigon too. Speaking of Goodnight Saigon, and going off on a tangent, another song about the horrors of war that I've always really liked is Dire Straits' Brothers In Arms: The part that always gets me right in the feels is the second verse. I won't copy the lyrics here, as I think to read them lessens the impact slightly. It's best to feel it in the song.

I should mention to anyone who wasn't around last night, this is a CloD issue. I even gave Drucker my ini file with my controls in it, thinking that it might be some sort of conflict. But that didn't do anything.

And Ghost too:

Periphery reminds me a lot of harder-edged Coheed and Cambria. I like them a lot! I really like Animals as Leaders too. I've never heard of them, but the bass player is sick. I've also been listening to Ty Segall's album Manipulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnMCqI199pE And Baroness:

Hi Manu, I'm not sure what your timezone or schedule is like, but we're going to be trying to bring FIF back to Wednesdays this Fall. We'll keep you posted.

Thought I'd revive this thread. Here's what I'm listening to today:

Yeah TF 5.0 looks amazing. I can't wait for it. Personally, I think it's going to be game changing.

Insane! We need to direct Wurg to this thread.

Hi Daedallus, You're all set for the Blue Team. Make sure to look for their team-specific area on the FIF boards. Because we're in-between campaigns, there won't be very much there. But, it should have the TS information. And things will pick up after Jasta 5's Black September ends. Looking forward to flying with you! -Klaiber

That's a really good question.

Brit beat me to it.

Yes. The G-meter is on the upper left of the HUD. Just above the air speed carrot and vertical air speed scale. You can see at 19 seconds, he gets up to 8.2.

I wondered that too.

Hi All, Welcome to the International Flanders In Flames Online War! If you have not already signed up in the past, and are a new pilot to FIF, please post below with the following information: Your In-Game Name: [if applicable] Your Squadron affiliation (with squadron website if possible): Your preferred side (Central, Entente or Don't Care): Your timezone: Your post within this thread is very important, as it lets us know who to give forum access to. After posting within this thread, please be patient. It may take up to 24 hours before your request to join a group has been approved. Please note: the two teams in FIF are not affiliated with either in-game side! After a campaign phase, they will swap sides, allowing everyone to fly all aircraft. If you don't get assigned to your preferred side the first time, you'll eventually be rotated to it (usually within 4 to 6 weeks). Thanks and Salut! JG1_Klaiber

Thought this was interesting: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/watch-an-f-16-save-the-life-of-its-unconscious-pilot-1786574961 I wasn't aware that they had installed an Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System on the F-16. I'm sure Sully 2 is glad they did.

Drucker! Great to hear from you. It's been too long. Sorry that I'm only now responding. I'm just getting back from a vacation. I'll drop you an email tonight. Talk more soon!

I saw that. I'll still enjoy the hell out of the movie.

I've always loved this picture. It's just so surreal to see. If you're interested, here is some information regarding the facility: http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/germans-testing-messerschmitt-bf-109/ Supposedly, the facility remained so secret that the Allied air forces never bombed it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt There are a few other pictures online that you can find in google.

It looks good! I always love Russian WW2 movies. If anyone is curious, here is the historical information on the actual events that the movie is depicting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panfilov%27s_Twenty-Eight_Guardsmen I also noticed (@ 2:16) that the Russian Military Historical Society (RMHS) is involved somehow. This is the same group that funded Ilya Muromets.

It looks interesting. Definitely a bit chaotic. Perhaps too much for me as well.

It is sad. But we still have "cover your sixes", and quite possibly "break a leg" (through a Yiddish corruption).

I always used to hear that "the whole nine yards" originated from nine yards of belt fed ammunition on aircraft machine guns. But it pre-dates WWII, and first appears in print in 1907. That means that it was probably floating around in speech since at least the 1890s. And it also means that the second machine gun theory, a British Vickers, is out too. The Vickers went into service in 1912. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_whole_nine_yards The best explanation I've heard so far is that it's related to standard lengths of fabric, used in the garment industry, which were usually cut into lengths of 3, 6 or 9. Or, that it means nothing. And that it's just a turn of phrase, like "the whole shebang". Though, in the 1870s, I think "shebang" referred to a vehicle. http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-whole-shebang.html So who knows...
