My "Aircraft" folder just got a little bigger lol. Some gorgeous wallpapers in here!
My current wallpaper:

Have quite a thing for the Spitfire at the moment, been reading quite a bit of material about her as well as getting to grips with the LF Mk.IX in DCS.
Some other shots from my wallpaper folder are in order however!



 







Hope you like them :). By the way, @Firefly do you have any higher resolution shots of those pictures you listed? The E model 109 and the Spit look stunning!

Hi,
The title says it all.
What aircraft does JG1 fly in DCS - any emphasis on the warbirds or servers?

Salutations all - sorry for the inactivity lately and the weird question.

For those of you unaware, my basement - along with my basement room containing all my recording, driving and flying equipment - flooded last week, so I'm in the middle of a cleanup, teardown and insurance claim process.

My Obutto and Rift CV-1 were both on the floor when the carpet soaked through, so my mother is recommending I claim them both on my insurance claim.

Main CPU: i5-8600k 3.6 Ghz 6-core
main GPU: 1070 Ti FTW Edition boost clocked/8GB edition.

Looking at the way the insurance claim process works, if I get approved for a new VR It will most likely be another Oculus Model. Considering the fact they're practically the same other than the Wireless capability and the difference in display resolution.

Which would the squadron members recommend based on these specifications? 

I've been using my CV-1 as a dedicated racing sim VR due to the busted head tracking since I unboxed it; and the wireless functions on the Quest 2 Intrigue me because it would make swapping from Race/Flight sim sides of my desk easier, but I'm worried that it maybe has too much resolution for my current GPU? I could swing either way, so I don't really know what to do. I would absolutely love to be able to use VR in the flight sim squadron, though, finally. I believe it would be genuinely a great next step up from my little 20 inch HP 1600x900 monitor. 

Thanks in advance - hope you're all safe and healthy! 


 

Great idea for a thread, +1. 
This is what I'm reading right now. The effort that the author put into research is incredible. Can't recommend this enough.

Excellent choices, especially the Renault! 

Few more for you.

McLaren MP4/4, Jordan 191... You have fine taste in both cars and aircraft Lip.

Kameraden,
Nice shots above, here is my present setup.

Currently on my work laptop:

There's a great story in Gunther Rall's autobiography where he talks about testing the F-104 out of Edwards AFB.  They'd fly them low with the Balkenkreuz markings and confuse everyone in southern California. 

Here's a selection of some of my favourites.

Well, these guys are doing the MB-339, so they're in a good position to make other Italian Air Force aircraft after that's done. If rumours are to be believed, their next project will be the Fiat G.91, but don't quote me on that. Some of their team members have already done some Starfighter stuff for other sims. I'd love to try out the F-104 ASA/M in DCS.

I imagine most of y'all are like me in that you have a very cool/inspiring/beautiful wallpaper on your PC. I find one I like allot & it stays there until I find something I like better. Always being in the market for my next best wallpaper, Show me your wallpaper!
My own is a lovely scene of a pair of F-14s. 

Working on a mission & was watching the AI. It got my blood up, MAN do I want a flyable, full fidelity F-104 in DCS!!
