Gents, in light of the passed few weeks attendance and the fact that at last three Dogz who own DCS cannot partake on a Friday eve, I am moving DCS event night to Monday evenings commencing Monday 20th August. Friday 17th will go ahead as normal for this weeks DCS fix. We'll start with a multi-era dogfight map to satisfy all tastes and thereafter move to co-ops focussed alternately on jets/warbirds on a bi-weekly basis.

This week, a single seat IL-2 has been recovered from a lake in Russia and is in remarkably good condition, owing mainly to the conditions on the lake bed and method in which it was put down by the pilot in 1943.

What great news!

Had a bit of a break through thanks to Sheriff's DCS link graphics tuning thread and my game is now running in that sweet spot 'twixt eye candy and playability 'course, now I've got to re-map all the bloody controls to my new throttle unit.............. Oh yeah; Sheriff's link to graphics thread on ED forums - very useful https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=201600

Mondays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Wednesdays....they are mostly all the same to me, but then again, I don't have a life to speak of anyway ?! You set it up and I will do my best to partake in the merriment!

It's not that so much as we fought hard and long and neither one of us was able to pull the trigger. We both tried vertical and horizontal scissors, energy tactics ... both of us working so hard we stalled out a couple times. Great, evenly matched fight. Salute to the pilot.
