  1. Uh-oh, Vonrd has fallen into the kids’ habit of shortening words. No cap.
  2. Willkommen, Haupt! Our CO will be along shortly with some introductory emails.
  3. The music alone is a blast from the past!
  4. Nope, it’s cropped live from the Oculus Mirror. Exactly. It’s a little bit more off the bottom than the top, I used trial and error until it looked about my line of sight. It is live. I have a 4k monitor on my game PC with one half of it showing the Oculus Mirror. On my Stream PC, I capture the whole monitor using a capture card and crop it down to the view you see. Therefore, it’s over 1080p even though it’s less than half of the captured screen. This allows it to be somewhat clear on the stream. Also, there’s a little bit of sharpening by filter in OBS, but not much.
  5. I crop my top and bottom and allow small bars left and right: https://clips.twitch.tv/ImpossibleRockyGrouseMingLee-QriudazaHRHD7stT
  6. I’ll definitely be delivering paratroopers for an airfield seizure at 600’ after an NOE ingress.
  7. That looks awesome! Been missing the Hip, need to fly it more, honestly.
  8. From the video of the Ukrainian MiG-29 firing AGM-88s:
  9. I have avoided looking into pricing and shipping from the items I recently placed out of fear for my pocketbook. Speaking of, those components are on the way, currently in Germany.
  10. Last night, I mowed my front yard with my drilled/repaired spindle holder. Today, I placed an order for a collective, grip, and a 200mm extension.
  11. If I can fix my mower without having to buy a new spindle holder, I can almost justify owning one of these, finally!
  12. If I would have clicked the link I would have answered my question. I've not had any battery problems using the Link cable, yet. I use the USB-C connection out of my GPU instead of a 3.1 USB. I'll have to watch out for battery life, now.
  13. Is he flying sims using AirLink or a link cable?
  14. I'm so glad it's a high quality item.
  15. Gliding brought the love of flying back to me. I got burnt out on time building and IFR currency flights, soaring changed all that and made me a better pilot. "If flying were the language of man, soaring would be its poetry." Who is AMR Encore? My interest is a tad piqued.
  16. I also picked it up and have been playing it when the kids all have their own thing going. Already made it past the first operation in Cross of Iron. Back in one of the original titles, I had a recon squad whose leader went berserk after losing his team and ran through the enemy lines, killing a dozen+ in close quarters and hand-to-hand before regaining his senses and running back to safety. He expended all his ammo and resorted to knife at one point.
  17. Oh man! I had a version of this from a smaller company and it wouldn’t save game progress, so I quit trying. Definitely going to grab it and take a trip down memory lane. I played these a lot when I was in the airborne infantry, loved A Bridge Too Far. Best memory is the way the personnel are awarded and tracked. I would get so attached to some of the teams and nearly heartbroken when some decorated Sergeant/Unterfeldwebel would die. Thank you for the heads up!
  18. Haven’t thought about Porcupine Tree in years! I have albums from ‘05 and ‘09.
  19. Nope, but I really enjoy a lot of the banter between Goose and Maverick in the first one. I am constantly quoting the Truckmasters line. Mentor, for sure. I think she added a similar love interest that Kelly McGillis had in the first one and, more importantly, provided the same disconnected, level-headed advice, that "Charlie" did. Her being "Penny Benjamin" was just a nod back to that one scene referenced above.
  20. The book this is out of, Kadena: Shogun Warriors of the PACA, was published in 1989 but that photo had to be several years earlier. My dad started flying for the Marines in '76 and I believe he was out in the early '80s, maybe '82?
