Great basis. I'd say that my Personal branding marks are a bit too modern looking on a period aircraft, but the Right wing number and the Fuselage roundel can for sure stay! If we could make the primary color for the fuselage a primer gray or white (from the approved colors I think there's a white-ish-gray) instead of the Mustard/drab that would work really well. For details I would maybe add some checkering pattern on the leading edge of the stabilizer, red to the wing spars and a splash of the red on the lower wing TE or LE, - maybe in a scalloped or Arrow head repeating pattern if the tempate isn't crummy and that isn't too difficult - and a red or black back-strap on the top fuselage and empennage terminating before the stabilizer and that's pretty close to what I had imagined. Really quick gross nasty gimp edit for reference: Was great flying with you guys again tonight. I needed the rest. Thanks so much for being welcoming as always, excited to have a distinctive skin and attend my first tourney, even if in a limited role.

Thanks Vonrd, you're a rockstar!

Bit of a weird request - but I don't have any skins for FC yet and I'm finally able to come back to flying after real life flight school so is there any chance I could get a simplistic skin based on my Helmet/Racing car color scheme I've been running since I was young? We can probably mute the colors out and that wouldn't work too bad for camo if there are Grays/Reds/Black tones available. Could even just be a simple Black top wing, red bottom wing (or mid-wing for tri-planes) and gray/black fuselage with a roundel. on the empennage Car 1: Bandolero Car 2: 2012-2014 Legends car paint Brand Logo, vector files for helmet design and Roundel included in files.

Huh. No FC2? A bit disappointed . . . hopefully it'll go on the Christmas sale.

. . How did the Empennage not fall off?

Right out of University, lost my first good job, got an awful one, lost that one, now going to flight school. MASSIVE explosion in the amount of contract sim racing and race coaching work now slowly dying off again as things slowly open. Only been about 1.5 years, two in March or April, I believe? What a wild time. I'm glad everybody in the squadron is still here and able to be safe and healthy for the most part.

Lip you give me Rig envy, I want you to know.

I swear it happens every time I'm almost out of money (To be fair I'm 23 so I'm always out of money) or have something important coming up - this time my fee for the DADE for my Oral and practical test. Grrrrrrrrrr

Every time. Without fail. Ahhhhhhh

I just want a summer sale soon before I am forced to do something *drastic* and buy full price.

Well I guess I finally know the source for this . . . .

The race track I was at two weekends ago in Topeka is across the street from the National Guard air base and the aviation museum, and I really hate that I couldn't make any time to go with everything going on. I genuinely think the MiG-29 and 21 are some of my favorite aircraft ever, aesthetically. Man those look *mean*!

Gotcha' - thanks guys! I'll be on the lookout!

Interesting, thanks everybody. Sorry for the odd question. Seems strange they would distribute differently at different prices through two platforms. I guess I'll watch the forums like a Hawk for if the MiG-21 and/or F5-E go on sale at some point; I know snaggle was telling me the squadron primarily flies the 21.

Okay, so, lets say I wanted to get my first module for DCS after looking at all this tasty preview stuff. I'm very, very confused if the Steam versions of the modules are playable online, the DCS website says they are "Steam incompatible" - however the F5-E module (what I may like to start with) is so tempting to me at 50% off on steam sale currently. If I purchased it would I then not be able to fly it online due to purchasing the steam version? I know this might seem like a remedial question, but I would appreciate clarification on this.

Better gunnery than I could ever pull of, certainly. Good SA to pull the cut like that and force the overshoot, too.

I'll have to make sure I get this when the upgraded VR headset comes in . . .

I appreciate this; but I've gained a lot of weight and lost a lot of time getting back to this point! So. I humbly decline both of these compliments, hahaha.

Hey gang! My basement flood is still an ongoing issue (Insurance payment dispensed, waiting on the selected contractor to come in and actually repair the damage now - it's been 3-5 weeks since we selected him . . . .) In preparation for my first full racing season since "Retiring" after my 2016 pro campaign, I've acquired my first ever new truck as a lease that's well within my financial constraints and suits my needs. Grabbed it as an end of February special and did the paperwork for it on the last day of the month while the truck hadn't arrived at the dealership yet. It's a 2021 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Trim level, 1 up from base model with cloth seats and a crew cab and a backup camera for hitching up! It has the 7-pin connector for a car hauling trailer w/ brakes and the 3.5L Engine with a 6400 pound towing capacity. More than adequate for a car hauler and a single racing vehicle. Here's a picture of it as it was delivered to my driveway this morning before work, as well as the new Tilt-bed aluminum trailer I purchased to use with it - I don't have it in my possession because I was waiting on the truck to be delivered first, so all I have is the specifications sheet off the dealer website. Exciting times here in the Hough household, sorry for all the inactivity on the flight sim side of things. Once my basement is reassembled and if I get a dispensation to replace my VR headset I hope to actually be properly active with the Squadron this year whenever possible; and of course share all the exciting things I get up to with the new man-toys! I think one of the things I'm looking forward to most is my Mother - who was me and Dad's towing driver when we raced as a family - getting to teach me and my Fiance Sarah how to haul the car and trailer. It'll be a whole family event, can't wait!

Seriously. If it weren't for all the Scalpers, I'd throw a 3060 in my rig and just buy a full price Primax or Index and call it good; wouldn't even need to deal with all this insurance runaround.

Yeah, not a great position to be in. Apparently Oculus is treating the Rift S almost like abandonware now and not updating the firmware or software at all. But of course the Quest 2 has certain limitations . . . . . .

I'm getting several recommendation saying the Quest 2 is the more "Futureproof" option and better for a variety of games and that the Rift S is the "safe" option; but is no longer receiving updates or support. So I'm a bit torn and will probably have to ruminate on this for quite awhile.

I like digital landscapes for 3-screens - so sorry if there's a distinct lack of military aircraft in my usual set
