Jabo set it up as a placeholder backup before Rog set up the "official" one. Myself and Bemmo, FT and Jabo and a couple of others were registered but it's since been overtaken by Rogs. I have unsubscribed from the one Nick set-up.

I suggest we keep the Teamspeak running until the New Year for the sake of returning members but from this day forth those of us flying default to Discord for our comms, generating a new invitation post to ensure everyone has the latest join details and we announce this accordingly. We also need to decide which discord channel we use - we currently have 2! Let's make sure we choose which becomes the primary and that we dispense with the other and that the details we broadcast are the correct ones!

As a veteran of Discord I can wholeheartedly endorse its adoption; it also comes with some pretty cool functionality that IMHO rather makes TS seem limited and somewhat antiquated. For example, the inherent ability to stream your screen or app so that others can see what you’re doing on your computer is a massive advantage for briefing/debriefing or instructing others or even just allowing someone who’s not flying - maybe due to illness, tech issues or just not feeling it - to join in the social side of the dogs and still have visibility and therefore some understanding of what’s occurring.

Hang on, is that MJ627?!?!? GET OUTTA MY AIRPLANE!!!!

Not jealous at all... In all seriousness, congratulations indeed Craig on acheiving a long held ambition. How was it?

You know where I live... stop in on your way home one evening and fill your boots!

So... Butchery complete: It's awesome. Me verry happy Fenrir. Big thanks to @BluBear for the loan of the jigsaw. It worked flawlessly and as a bonus I managed to keep all my appendages!

I've been a baaaaad boi.... That's a VPForce Rhino base, a 20cm Virpil cranked extension, a VKB MkIII adapater and a VKB F-14 grip. Still waititing on a VKB Black Box controller to allow the grip to connect to the PC and then I will be obliged to indulge in some rather brutal furniture modifications (calling my woodworking skills carpentry would be an insult to the trade) to (a) provide a solid mounting surface so it doesn't throw itself around like some demon-possessed jack in the box, (b) provide an arrangement that will also trap the office chair roller wheels so as not to propel me away from the PC whenever I try and use my rudder pedals and (c) allow full free and unrestriced movement to the stick (currently the desk and the chair occlude it's movement). Time for a little surgery...

In past versions cratering a runway was a good way to deny the AI use of it; whether this still holds for AI is open for testing. As for players, craters will definitely put a dent in your ability to takeoff or land…

Carrier break!

Tanking in the goo is... actually quite fun

I hear you mate, just spit-balling and trying to find a way to piss off the least amount of people!

What About Sunday's Delta? Could we make it a DCS event except when you want to run a BoX event? Just trying to get as many people flying what they want when they want....

Hey @DD_Petrol, glad to see you're joining us! We're coming up from Duxford on the Friday evening and have a table booked at a reputable local curry house for our traditional Dogz Dinner; hope you'll be partaking?

A-10A FAC(A) wins 3 x DFC in three consecutive missions by being a FACA king - listening to this I had to peel my eyebrows off the ceiling on several occasions. BEWARE - may induce imposter syndrome in any DCS wannabe FAC(A)s...
