I will be there Saturday. I live an hour south of Cincinnati so make a trip every year to Dayton & alternate between the museum & air show. This year as luck would have it, its the air shows turn. 
And I agree, the Skyview lounge is really the best way to watch the show!

Not sure if anyone noticed but RAZBAM recently changed the order of their module listing on their Discord. It used to be farther down on the list. Now its immediatly below 3 already released modules. Hmmm anything to be taken from this change? 🤔 Let the speculation begin... 🤣

 

G model is also my most anticipated variant. I think it would be cool af running hunter killer teams with F-16s the way the 561st TFS did in the 1st gulf war. 


That being said, I am curious to see what upgrades the E variant that gets released will have. The Phantom lived before Blocks to designate upgraded equipment & things were done pretty haphazardly. You would have to climb into a jet to see what systems it had. 
Its possible (if a later model is chosen) that we could do SEAD with the E model. 
Alas, many questions & few answers. We will have to wait & see 

Su22 or even the Su7 would be a great addition to DCS!

FWIW my guess is the Mossie will land on the 28th but there are those that think the Apache will be it. Apache is a complex beast so I just cant believe they have it done... Or ready for early access rather. The Mossie OTOH is pretty straightforward. 

Ive pretty well got AAR in the Tomcat licked. 
That was my issue as well. I felt like I had to have something to line up on. I never tried lowering the seat, but my solution was more of a feeling my way in. I'd line up on the basket & slowly drive in until I connected. 
IMO being properly trimmed out is more important in the Tomcat than any other jet. If you are properly trimmed out as you approach the basket you will see a gentle porpoising to the basket. That is the impact of your wings moving. I found by "splitting the difference" as it were between the high & low spots of that porpoising you will connect every time. Once connected look right at the tanker (you cant see it because of the canopy frame) to use as a reference to stay in position. 
Ditto, IMO its the hardest jet to AAR with. Its twitchy even when trimmed & the lag time on the throttle is significant making it hard to stay connected.

I see this kinda question posted every time some new high dollar piece of hardware comes along. I guess people are looking to justify spending the money or more commonly justify why they arent. 
If you trying to keep up with the Jones (an American colloquialism meaning trying to have all the toys everyone else has), dont! Madness lies there. You cannot buy happiness, I know, I have tried! 
However if you have a passion for helicopters & the disposal income to waste on a new toy its almost a no brainer. 

It actually makes it easy. Whos to say they are wrong?? 🤣

Its ED's special release. My guess is that ED didnt want HB stealing their thunder... 

I am working on that myself. I thought I was pretty good in it but VF-2 is showing me there is always more to learn. 

Yep, it was. You did well. IIRC you only disconnected once. 

Deleting screen shots & came across one to good to not post.

I just stumbled upon this. I know there are some Zip4 lovers here so thought you might find it interesting.

Sure I'll but it cant say as I am excited about it. If it dont burn JP-8 its just a diversion...

Very clean & efficient rig, I'm impressed! 

Kameraden,
Here is my solution for the G2 cable getting caught on the back of my chair.

I've also cleaned up the cables that were on the floor with cable track on the baseboards.
S!

This aircraft should thoroughly humble the Air-Quake F/A-18 crowd. I can hear the cries to nerf the Meteor and IRIS-T already.

The whorenet drivers are wringing their hands & gnashing their teeth about this.
