Thought this was an interesting article on the A-2 and jacket art: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/wwii-war-paint-how-bomber-jacket-art-emboldened-our-boys/

Some of those photos are extremely intense. Speaking only for myself - It seems easy sometimes to look back at events 70+ years in the past, and marvel at the technology of war.... while at the same time, forgetting about the horrors and atrocities that that technology made possible. I think it's a pitfall that all historically minded people fall into sometimes. As a result, I'm very glad that photo collections like that exist. While they are hard to look at, it reminds us of the human cost of conflict

As long as you have a microphone, you should be all set.

At this point, it's just about squirreling away enough money to cover it. Plus, I want to see how Win10 does before committing to Win7.

Good luck on the new PC build! May be thinking of upgrading soon too.

Hi Bardamu, The big thing is making sure you have your team's TS information. This can be found in your team's discussion area. Server passwords are passed out via TS, about a half hour before mission times. Mission orders are also posted in your team's area, with the missions themselves run on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If you're interested in reading, all of the tournament information can be found here: http://forum.jg1.org/forum/73-fif-tournament-information/ Let me know if you had any specific questions. I'd be more than happy to help!

Also very cool news from Cobra at Leatherneck. The MiG-21bis will be updated for DCS World 1.5.0. This means the new cockpit and 3D model, and probably the DDR (East German) skins and BORT numbers! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145482 Very excited.

Nice fight!

Hi Bardamu, welcome! You're all set for the Blue Team.

Very nice Kempf! Really enjoyed it.

Hi Kaiser, For the Saturday missions, you can check the J99 server: http://46.4.81.81/ Wednesday missions have been temporarily flown on the JG1 server, due to weird net problems. Unfortunately, the JG1 server doesn't have a stats page yet. We're working on it. Hope this helps!

Hi SteveF, you're all set for the Blue Team. Welcome!

I took the leap, and pre-purchased. Looking forward to learning it!

I noticed the shoot / stalling too.

The L-39 Albatros has just been made available for pre-purchase. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/l-39_pre-purchase/ http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=145372 And when it's released in September (as an open Beta), DCS World 1.5.0 will also be released: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2438151&postcount=40 DCS World 1.5.0 will use the new rendering engine they've been developing. So, we're getting tantalizingly closer to DCS World 2.
