Firefly Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I've known him for years, we flew together a fair few times during my War Thunder days as well as my short-lived IL-2: BoS transition. He's a fine chap, always insisting on choosing the best possible source material for his videos. Britchot and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 That's really cool. Now to get him into DCS. :evil grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 That's going to be quite difficult, with his current job and the YouTube channel he has hardly any time for games. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 This is the very PC first flight sim I've ever played. Found this video entirely by accident. Oh, the memories! Klaiber, Erhardt and Razwald 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Since we've fallen into the rabbit hole of nostalgia... I played both of these on my sister's Amiga. To a 5yo Firefly strafing and dogfighting was where it was at. Apologies for hijacking the thread @Klaiber! Klaiber and Razwald 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razwald Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 First Complex Flight Sim and I will say that looking back it was impressive compared to other titles out at the time. Firefly and Erhardt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaiber Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Me too. I've watched it about 100 times. And have now resorted to watching other people react to it. I know. I'm sick. Firefly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 So you're one of those people who watched the trailer so many times they could've watched a full movie instead? Join the club. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsOnMeds Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Nothing like some C&Rsenal! 2 Hour long History lectures disguised as firearms content! Razwald and Erhardt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Love C&Rsenal. Been watching them since almost the very beginning, about the time they did the first Mauser 98 video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedsOnMeds Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yeah they're genuinely fantastic. I really love learning about the trade/economic agreements between various nations that lead to certain countries ending up with certain arms. It puts WWI into a fantastic perspective.

TedsOnMeds Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Did I mention I love watching modern Jets take off solely on power alone? Lmfao. look at this ***disgusting*** AOA on carrier based Mig 29's! Get off my planet this technology seems alien!

Firefly Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 As impressive as that looks, the utility of a ski jump-equipped CV is limited by the relatively small MTOW of the aircraft on board. The Chinese realise this, which is why they're moving away from Soviet-derived, heavily armed, ski jump-equipped STOBAR designs like the Lianoning and Shandong towards a US-style CATOBAR configuration with EMALS (look up "Type 003 aircraft carrier"). Still very cool to see a non-Western approach to naval aviation. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 How to turn jet fuel into noise, Cold War style. I have a feeling @Klaiber and @Erhardt are going to like this one. Lipfert, Razwald, Klaiber and 1 other 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedsOnMeds Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Watching these videos really makes me wish I could fly a Jet one day.

Ludwig Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 HAH.... we saw this every night at 11:00 PM when KENS CHANNEL 5 went OFF THE AIR..... and they would play the Star Spangled Banner and then read the poem "High Flight" while showing film of a 104 zooming and rolling through the clouds. Kids today don't know what "going off the air" means.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGj6deaINxM Firefly and Klaiber 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
