  1. Well, I realize you need FC3 just the first I heard of individual planes from it being sold. Wasn't aware they had gotten past the LockOn legal issues, or perhaps, this is an attempt to circumvent them.

  2. Now this is amazing, Humble Bundle, donate a dollar to charity, get a bunch of games. Donate $4.83 do charity and get even more games. Totally legit, I just purchased it myself. The really amazing thing is it seems to give you separate keys for both Steam and Origin so you essentially get 2 copies of most of the games, and the soundtracks as well. Keep one for yourself, give the other to your kids like I did (well, not the Dead Space) or a buddy. Or, if you don't want some of the games give both away. I've got more codes then I can handle and will have to start dipping into my 2TB drive I was just using for videos. You can pay with Pay Pal or even Amazon which is what I used. Check it out, it's bad ass. I'm downloading Red Alert 3 on Steam right now.

  3. Not much time on our hands with all the other stuff we play, but for anyone interested Darkstar One is a space economy game somewhat like Wing Commander Privateer or Microsoft's Freelancer. The cut scenes are extremely dated but other than that it's actually pretty good. Bundled with Patricians III which is an old but fun economy sim for the price of $2.71 US, it worth it for Darkstar One alone. Sales on for the next 28 hours so if you like this sort of thing its a steal. I've been thoroughly enjoying it.

  4. Just ran across this and thought all you WWII buffs out there might like it. Apologies if you've all see it before, I've only watch the first few minutes but looks good. Videos don't seem to be embedding, not sure why. Anyways, enjoy my friends.

     

    And some more Russian stuff, if you want the english subtitles you have to click the 'CC' in the youtube progress bar at the bottom of the vid.

  5. I'd like to find the enthusiasm to do this, anywhere on the Net I could order sosme of it cheap :rolleyes:

    I usually order my stuff from Jameco. There are also some good deals on switches, particularly these or these. I've used them a few times. Probably the best place I've found joystick/mouse replacement parts like tact and micro switches . It's also where I get my IR LEDs from . 2.93 with free shipping for 20 is a bit hard to beat. Straight out of China, they are perfectly legit. The shipping's a little slow but it is free after all. Oh and don't tell anyone bye the way. Its been my little secret Chinese connection. I wouldn't want everyone buying up all the good parts. ^_^

     

    They also have some really cool stuff like this and this. Just look browse the site for a while and you'll find all sorts of things.

    P.S.

    On a side note, if anyone needs or is looking to upgrade their soldering station, I would highly recommend this one.

  6. It's unlikely that there will be any official adoption until after the next HSFX (which will use it) and then only after the SEOW is over (or switched over)

     

    If you have the room/ inclination though it's worth the small effort to install it. It requires a small amount of work to remap/ add controls, but it's not too big.

     Yep, installed without delay. I just removed some of my, obsolete installs. Clean 4.10.1 and UP3 got the boot with the exceptions of some missions and skins. Like 4.12 a lot, some of the new effects are nice details.

  7. Just bought the Blackshark 2 upgrade yesterday. I decided to get Flaming Cliff 3 as well for $29.99. Eagle Dynamics is apparently planning on releasing individual modules of reworked FC3 aircraft. Seems they'll now be available free to FC3 owners which previously wasn't the case. Hopefully getting FC3 at the sale price will pay off later. Apart from that, someone need to fly these planes and add some flavor for all the A-10c fliers. If all us DCS fliers could get together with a mix of these aircraft it would make for some interesting missions.

  8. Well, the DLC that adds Americans is totally awesome. M1 Garands, M1 carbines, 30cal mg, P47, Sherman tanks......give me goose bumps. Its great, I just wish more people played it. Its a real shame that such a great mil sim goes to waste. I have a bit of Arma 2 mission building experience so I could put it to use. The problem is, the sale if over now and I'm afraid that DLC won't appeal nearly as much with the higher price tag. Thing is, for me at least, its a must have. I don't mind doing some German vs. Russians but US vs the Nazis it where its at. Too bad there aren't any UK forces, though I haven't checked, perhaps there is a mod for it. 

  9. Sorry to bump my own thread but I just got done pounding the defenses at Omaha beach in a P-47 and I must say it was quite good. This game really has some potential if you could get a sizable group to take interest in it. Still, the single player aspect and mission builder are worth a look. Anyone who has Iron Front.... ah hem..FB... you'll probably want to get the DLC for $3.70 USD.  

  10. This huge hotel in my town has been abandoned and decaying since the war. It was finally demolished a few months ago.

    And this is the large communist monument and museum on Petrova Gora, the site of a major field hospital of the WW2 Partisan resistance:

    This looks like a great place to film a zombie apocalypse movie.
