Painless

Happy to lead a flight if required Skipper. Also happy to snuggle up nice and close in formation if required Skipper 😳

Bags the Spit then 🤓

Agreed on next year, we will have chance to save up for TWO curry nights with extra Pappadam's for all. GBS for Dogzford sounds more practical, would be honoured to take part in a display BB 👍🏻😎

Happy to give it a go mate, so long as you tell jokes on TS constantly to help bring the stress of war into our cockpits ? That should sort the men from the boys ! Thoughts 🤪 ?

Nice Arjen ! Now We all need to be liberated 😳

You lucky lucky bar steward !! Nice post Bongo, could have done with a few more oiled up and topless pics mate? Play to your audience?

Got the FW 190 A3 this morning for $4.99

COME ON BONGO !!!! .........

Not too much expierience when it comes to flying for real compared to you guys but for what it's worth here goes.... Just before going into the RAF I thought it might be an idea to have something aircraft related to talk about in the interview so I had a couple of one hour lessons in one of these out of Goodwood (RAF Westhampnet in WWII)... Piper Tomahawk Many years later whilst in the Fire service my friend Dave offered to teach me to fly unofficially in the aircraft he had access to in the "Spitfire flying club" out of Popham airfield near Basingstoke..... Ikarus C42 microlight. He only charged me for the fuel and I enjoyed about 40 odd hours flying over a four year period. Side slipping into Bembridge airfield on the Isle of Wight. Notable rides.... RAF Gazelle. The pilot was a nutter and did some fun manoeuvres. As a leaving present just before the end of my time in the RAF (1989), I was given the chance to go up to RAF Coltishall and have a "jolly" in one of the 41Sqn two seat Jaguars as a thank you for the work we at "Exhibition Production Flight" RAF Henlow, had done for their open day.... I was told by the ground crew that my pilot, Sqn Ldr Bagshaw had more hours on Jags than any other RAF pilot and that he held the record for the longest "wheelie" on landing. Had a fantastic 52 minute flight including some low level stuff over The Wash then over Porsmouth and RAF Henlow before the "wheelie" landing back at Coltishall.

Arthur I totally agree that a machine without proper wings has no business taking to the air ! 🤪

I take it you were not called “Crash” back then ? 😳🤣

I would like to request the shreddies you were wearing that day autographed, ............. WITH A PEN ! Please sir.

Being an aviation nutbag since you stepped off the potty kind of explains your skill in a virtual cockpit now me thinks! Bravo Tomsk 🎖🏅🤔

Wow, what a selection Tom, well impressed mate 👍🏻 I have joystick envy ...... again !

What he said Swooperton ??

“Beautiful plumage” squire.....

Many of the chaps fly both DCS and GBS Gravy, you can choose your poison/s For DCS help see Fenrir, for GBS help see FoolTrottel , for life advice and coaching see Sid 😎

Have to say the “Foolrir” / “FenTrottel” combination is a highly effective cocktail .... what !

Ha, I for one would like a more comprehensive explanation Tomsk ! 😉

....and now for something completely different ...... Sorry Arthur, couldn’t resist. Sadly no btw. 🙁

I know this is a bit “gay” but I like it when we all fly on the same side whether it be red or blue. That way it’s us Dogz against them spawn of the devil AI gits! You know, man against machine.... a bit like trying to drive a Wuling Hongguang in anger ! 🤣

Ok Dave, thanks for getting stuck into this debate mate, “it’s good to talk” 😉

All kidding aside Kelly it was excellent to have you back with us, I hope we can get back to ribbing each other mercilessly ASAP mate 🤣

Dave, Sid has pretty much summed up my thoughts before I had chance to reply. If you fly with the small coloured triangle mod (is that what you mean by “small dot mod” ?) then excellent, that is what I would like to think everybody uses. Getting rid of the standard “radar” early warning on the map and name and distance icons really does level the playing field because as Sid says you don’t know who is flying the enemy planes you spot, you don’t even know if it’s a breather or AI initially . I don’t have everything turned of for full real yet like Sid because I would find that to be a guaranteed way of being shot down every time without seeing a thing, ( and that would be no fun either). Like a handicap system such as in golf the less accomplished, (by that I mean old, blind, deaf or returning to flying after a long break), have the “Wonder Woman” standard settings and the more accomplished have more challenging settings, that is fine because it makes for a good and fair competition. What you can’t have is the top boys using easy settings to dominate. That would be unsporting. I think (correct me if I’m wrong Sidly) that is what Sid is getting at ?
