Frior your stories, er...reports are always sure to please

Good job M8s, the Dogs of War rock the house!

I'm quite conflicted about all this. I really do think the new jets and stuff will be fun, I do like the old school jets, but on the other hand I'd have liked to see more historical planes (I won't even go into the whole Grumman thing, that just pisses me off).

I'll be happy to help, by the time I get my 'puter back up and running I'll be looking for some good offline material. I should have 'er running by the end of next week.

Don't take it personally, it's probably just that the filter considersrobbing Redmond bar-sterward a profanity like gosh (bless me frior) or or the like. Can you blame it?

I had an incident today with a bios flash, that I'm pretty sure is fatal but I thought I might check in to see if anyone has any ideas, since I cant even order a replacement chip from Asus until Monday. I already pulled out the cmos battery and shorted the clock jumper, but all to no avail, no post, no nuthin. Is there yet hope? I really doubt that Il2 will run well on my laptop and my business manager will make me sleep on the couch if I try to put it on the work computer! I'm going into withdrawls, oh the pain

Can't....... catch........breath.......,crapped pants............. laughing! Need.........nap........

Man, I'm glad this came up the other day, as I missed the post and I never would have seen it! Thanks for the post and the kind words, I can't say as I've ever had a more memorable dog fight. You boys done the FAA proud!

This is why I use a freakin holster!

I'd sure count on a near universal upgrade, I was on Historia last night and even those guy's were excited about the new stuff! I doubt there will be a lot of holdouts, except those who really can't afford it.

Didn't woik fer me neither!!!!!

Well I can't say that I've ever heard a better "excuse", Methinks we'll hafta let you slide this time.

I've been using 300 (both cannon and MG) for a long time, with experiments at various other distances but have not found anything else to work any better. Since my main plane is the 109, convergence is less important. I always fly and chase in wide view and then zoom in some for shooting ( I have all FOV's mapped to the slider on my x52) I only use high zoom's for target search and recognition (I also found, like many others, that I was shooting terribly at the higher FOV's) and to check on which way a target is turning when we get separated (this is really handy!). I have Machine guns mapped to the first stage on my trigger and cannons on the second stage.

Hell yeah!! That was an F-4, I think a very even match for the Spit V. Of course the best pilot won.

You might have been scoreless in the first one but you handed my ass to me in the last one..... THAT was a memorable battle.

Indeed, indeed we must study!

Notice also that the round is considerably lighter than the .50, that combined with the lower muzzle velocity means much less sustained energy for "reaching out and touching someone"

Yah, yah Tersday goot. Oh by the way, just as an Idea to trow aboot, I was thinking a two hour time limit might be better,say two two hour missions (even 1 1/2hr ) and a one hour backup in case the other two go too fast, that might let the scenario play out a bit more fully ( is that a word?), one hour just doesn't seem like enough, especially with the new format. ~S~

I'm up for that, almost any time.

Don't pay any attention to these guys, Dazza, flying is the real thing, the women are just a diversion to keep us from getting bored.

Hats off to the Minions of Evil, All flew well and bravely and if any blame can be laid for our loss it can only be with the indecisive leadership (mine), and well, of course, with the excellent performance of our "enemies". I will go into battle with any of you any time. ~S~

DT you are THE MAN!

Thanks for the tip, I'll surely check that out!

It's comforting to know that there is annother group besides white heterosexual male christians (Me) that it's politically correct to hate. ROTFL
