I'm back...got my new computer...now all the reinstalling...

Well,  just got my internet back.  I watched the 2 airdrops of red fire retardant from planes Sat afternoon,  about 7-800 yards from my back deck.  Was very impressive, stopped the fire in it's tracks in my area.   got told to evacuate,  unfortunately some real tools on city planning allowed developers to put a bunch of houses on a hill above me, they had to come down my road.  I watched a truck take an hour to go from 1 side of my house to the next.   They arrested the degenerate fuck that started the fire,   yup,   arson guys  not global warming like all the idiots are claiming.  Still in an evacuation zone,  but I never left after I saw the drop stop the fire.   If I drive out,   they wont let you drive back in.   

Well, after postponing the decision for a long time I too have decided to transfer to Jgr2/J27b for the WWI focus.   Not thinking of this as a goodbye as I would be happy to continue flying with JG1 during Tue practices, but understand if that would no longer be appropriate.

Took a little trip with my son to Canada’s Air and Space Museum. Really fine collection with some extremely rare WWI and II models. 
Biggest news to me was the development of the G-suit occurred in 1941 and was used by the RAF in North Africa in 1942. 

Nope definitely is supported.  Eye tracking is not.
The Pimax version caused major stutter but the mbucchia version works very well for me.  Increased frame rates a bit and most importantly just eliminated stutters at higher resolutions noted above.  Give it a try, it's easy to uninstall if you don't like it. 

It has been several years since the heyday of Hyperlobby and Jiri announced recently that he will be closing the Hyberlobby forums. The game server has already been disabled.
The last time Jiri updated the Hyperlobby program was four years ago, v4.3.7, and I never got the impression that the update was enough to get Players back into using it.

For those that still remember their login credentials and want to pass on their thanks or memories to Jiri using Hyperlobby before the final shut down of the site Phantom17 has started a thread at Hyperlobby that fits the bill.

Hi All,
I am trying to go back to sims and I am a bit confused. Is it OK to use Steam platform to install IL-2?

Huge news regarding a major influence for ED over the years. Show support on this thread if you’re inclined.

o7 Ladies and Gents,
 
I wanted to reach out and let you all know that I’ll be transferring out of JG1. This is really hard for me, as being part of this squadron has been a genuinely great experience, and I don’t have a single bad word or grudge toward anyone here. Truth be told, I’ve been thinking about this move for some time.
WWI simming, and particularly fighter warfare has always been my real passion, and I’ve reached the point where I want to fly, and concentrate my efforts with a group that’s dedicated solely to this era. That being said, @Klaiber has approved, and authorized a transfer to JGr2.  I’ve always had a love for German aircraft, so it feels right being on the next field over, opposed to heading across the mud to the other side of the lines. I’ll still be flying around the same skies, but just under a different tag from now on. 
I’m truly grateful for everything JG1 has provided me. Thank you for welcoming me in, and for everything you taught me, the laughs, and all the lessons learned along the way. You turned a brand new, green noob into a half competent pilot in a very short period. You’ve helped shape me into a better pilot and all around simmer, and JG1 will always have a special place in my heart. 
In the event of an emergency, JG1 will always be the first emergency airfield I’ll consider turning to. It will always be my second home.  It’s been an absolute pleasure flying with you all. I’ll still see you in the skies.

von Freden

Hey guys,  Andy asked me to let the squadron know this:  His long-time partner Jane just passed away yesterday morning.  Andy will understandably be taking a break for a while.
Thanks,
Gwen

Beautiful stabilized approach and landing.

Ever seen this before?

Absolutely, thanks @Heinrich! I searched for a little bit, this morning, but couldn't find a better resolution than Vonrd's screen shot. 

My best guesses:
Rodung = Clearance

Drücken Anhaben = press on
Drücken Anheben = Press lift
 @Firefly, any ideas?
EDIT: Heinrich nailed it below!  Hey, I got one, at least

This got me back in the search for Â¡Tchkung!,  a Mongolian playing a horsehead fiddle and throat singing. 
 

Homecoming (sort of)
Military Museum brings back aircraft stolen by Nazis.
An original Fokker D.VII fighter plane that flew with the Dutch Naval Air Service before World War II will be exhibited later this year at the National Military Museum in Soesterberg. The museum has loaned the antique biplane from the Deutsches Museum in Munich for the next five years. After being found in a barn in Bavaria at the end of World War II, the plane had been there for a long time. The Military Museum is pleased with the return of the plane. Curator Alfred Staarman calls it "the best plane in the world" from a century ago.
The Fokker D.VII has a long history. The type was designed and built in Germany during the First World War by Dutch aviation pioneer Anthony Fokker. In May 1918, the Deutsche Luftwaffe deployed the first example on the battlefield. Germany lost the war, but according to Staarman, the D.VII was superior to the aircraft used by the Allies.
Not long after 1918, Anthony Fokker transported several unfinished aircraft to the Netherlands. "After the war, he put the whole lot, everything he had left, on a train and took it to the Netherlands," says the curator. "This is one of those half-finished aircraft that came from Germany to the Netherlands and was finished here. It was then sold to the navy. The Fokker D.VII is considered the best aircraft of the First World War. So the Netherlands had access to very modern war material in one fell swoop."
The Naval Air Service bought twenty Fokker D.VIIs and flew them between 1920 and 1937. What happened to them after that is not entirely clear. Curator Staarman points out that at least one example was 'waiting' at Schiphol to establish a National Aviation Museum. But, shortly after the Germans invaded the Netherlands, the plane disappeared. Staarman suspects that the Nazis stole the plane, possibly to exhibit it in Germany. 
Not long after the Second World War, in December 1945, American soldiers found the fighter plane in a barn in Vilsbiburg, some 90 kilometres northeast of Munich. It was not immediately clear that it was a Dutch plane: it was not until 1980 that Dutch features were discovered during restoration work. In the Deutsches Museum, a Dutch roundel, a circle in red, white and blue, by which Dutch military aircraft can be recognised, appeared under some layers of paint.
And now, 45 years later, the fighter plane is returning to the Netherlands. "It's also a nice story. If this Fokker could talk, we would have had a lot of information," says Staarman. "But unfortunately, that's not the case."
For the curator, the story is not over yet. Because it is most likely 'spoils of war', he wants the Deutsches Museum to permanently hand over the plane and not just lend it out. But then it must be irrefutably established which plane this was exactly. The Dutch navy had twenty of them, and it is unclear whether this is the plane that was taken from Schiphol. Research is needed, says Staarman. "We are trying to reconstruct the story with all the bits and pieces we have."
The plane will be on display to the public in the National Military Museum in September.

Went to visit Mike and Cholie. Mike and I were Best Buds through High school. We were in jazz, concert and marching band and also dedicated surfers. I hadn't seen him for 47 years. He owns Cowabunga Hotel and Bungalows in San Juanico, BCS, a very remote fishing village (no post office, no Amazon delivery, no gas station, no cell service, the town just got municipal electricity 6 months ago) and EVERYONE is very friendly and seem content.

Just watched an interesting video by Aeria Gloria about the "Control" button functionality in the MiG-29.
Didn´t understand everything after the first watch, but would like to link it here as a reference for learning the Fulcrum´s systems.
