Congrats guys! o7

I have been listening to this one lately: Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

Thanks @Etzel for posting these. It was great fun to do some additional missions after FiF last Saturday and it is such a pleasure to be able to see some screenshots of our joint online efforts!

@Britchot As Heinrich said, I did install the damper mod for the MFG Crosswinds and I'm quite happy with it. As it... well dampens, it smooths my small scale rudder movements, mainly those that one may use to adjust the alignment of the aircraft's sight with the intended target. As such, the sight sways less making aiming ever so slightly easier at least that's what I tell myself Besides that, I quite like the feeling

JG1_Greif JG1 CEST until 31st Oct (UTC+2) CET (UTC+1)

I concur with Hotlead, better than many of my landings! You must be a proud father

We had a very good evening, it was great fun with some satisfying team work!

Very nice! Thanks for making this and sharing the video

Congrats guys, well deserved

Well war is nice and all, but no need to be uncivilised about it

@Hess, thanks for recording our sortie and posting the video on YT, very enjoyable to watch it back! @Hess and @Heinrich, FYI, the boxes that I strafed in my last attack and that apparently was the last item of the depot were the boxes on the left of Hess's REVI sight ar 21:50, which I shot coming from the East. At 24:43 the technochat mentions that I destroyed the hangar so either the boxes were part of the hangar object or the my rounds that hit the hangar behind the boxes were the straw that broke the hangar's back. It does look like (cannon) rounds do damage structures and can even finish them.

It was a great evening, flying with @loopy, @=GenMarkof007= and @Etzel, very nice team work (thanks guys) and also amazing visuals: in the bombing mission we took off before sunrise in the dark and the sun came up on our way to the depot as you can see on Etzel's screenshots. Also, we had great results and even better: everybody did well, without losing anyone! This was the best. After hearing Etzel on coms about his predicament (out of bullets, 109 on his six) I went asap looking for him. As I approached Etzel with the 109 (K4) on his tail, I sprayed some bullets mainly to get the 109's attention, making him realise that his prey had a buddy that was now on his tail... only to run out with that very last burst! Even though the 109 persisted in his attack on Etzel, I figured that the best I could do is to concentrate on taking a menacing position, which wasn't too hard with the 2 to 1 situation in our advantage. I (like to) imagine that the 109 must have been intimidated with that Tempest on his tail, clearly in a good shooting position, (somewhat) leisurely following his manoeuvres without shooting, like a cat playing with his food . In any case, in sofar as he considered the possibility that his pursuer just ran out of bullets, he clearly didn't feel like gambling as he broke off to the West to my(our) relief. Followed him a bit for good measure to let him know he messed with the wrong Tempests with 0 bullets, after which we could return safely to our airfield and keep the evening with no losses on our side. Thanks again @Etzel for taking the time to making the screenshots (look good) and share the visuals and the narrative of our adventures on the forum, great fun to see!

Amazing. I would wish I were able to give it a go to experience what it feels like. Thanks for quenching my curiosity with your explanations You wouldn't happen to visit the Netherlands while taking your equipment with you anytime soon, would you?

Again, spectacular screenshots of our endeavours!

Impressive, and is that with DCS, IL2 or both? Also: is that in VR? One added complexity in VR seems to me that VR headsets use the environment as reference to determine how the user moves his head. When the seat moves IRL, the VR headset moves in relation to its environment, which communicates to the VR headset that the user moves his head while in game the pilot's head relative to the cockpit does not.

These certainly look amazing and I admire they are able to make a 6 DOF motion simulator for these price points, really impressive. I do wonder how good the experience is and I always wonder if these try to simulate the forces tour virtual pilot experience or (merely) the relative position of the pilot in game. As an illustration: making a (tight) turn to the right in an aircraft would correspond to position change of the pilot's seat rolling to the right. In real life, an immobile chair rolling to the right corresponds to feeling the force of gravity rolling to the right, i.e. inclining seat position from _ to \ feels like my weight pressing straight on the seat shifting to my weight pressing on the right side of my seat. I think however that a tight turn to the right in the seat of a moving aircraft would (could) correspond to feeling your weight on the seat shifting to the left because of the (perceived) centrifugal force to the left when turning to the right, which would mean the seat IRL would actually have to roll to the left when the aircraft in game turns right in order to make the virtual pilot experience a shift of the forces to the left.

@Etzel, These posts are such fun to see, your screenshots give an almost cinematographic impression of how our missions went. You chose excellent viewpoints for the screenshots showing our online endeavours, they sure make for some pretty pictures! Thanks for taking the time to put these with the story behind it on the forum.

But, that's the best part! (besides the visuals maybe) That is incredibly sweet

Finally! That left aileron control wire drove me crazy

Given that my wife and I are just the two of us, we decided to give Joyeux Noël a go after Christmas dinner. What a great movie, very touching without getting (too) cheap. @Snaggle, thanks for the tip! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Your Christmas tree looks amazing, nice form and great decorations. Also my compliments on the pickle, I can't help but experiencing a strange form of pickle envie... Here's our tree:

@Snaggle Good to hear that those horrible blocky crashes are a thing in the past for you and that you will now be able to crash in high resolution Seriously, your positive impressions seem consistent with what I have seen online so far: I don't recall seeing anyone who was unimpressed. I have a request, though: would you mind doing some IL2 test runs, preferably on some busy servers (i.e. having many concurrent planes)? I would be very curious to know how your CPU + GPU handle the G2, what FPS you typically see as well as what your lowest observed FPS is. Also, about your configuration: do you know what your memory speed is?
