I was very very close to the same thing happening to me yesterday too.

For some reason the saved games location doesn't work for some planes, notably the f 14 springs to mind. It should, but, hey DCS.... I've taken to putting all my skins in the path FT linked, as that always works!

Small detail, but I'm looking forward to trans-sonic shockwave cones, they just look so damn cool!

I can't see the point of it in il2. DCS yes where you can actually operate the radio, il2 you can't so no point imo. Even in DCS unless your going hyper realistic, it can be a faf.

Its a beast of a plane. Can make beaucoup go boom boom, in many many different ways. A ground pounders dream.

More new clouds and Cyprus,

Mmmm, Spit goodness,

I have no specific feelings about it either way, but you're right, it is ugly!!!!!!

Another pic of ground zero in Beirut, with the proximity of residential buildings, its amazing the death toll was not higher than the 204....

A few shots from last night, and a short vid, Myself and DD_Fenrir orbiting, waiting for the Hornets to land, as somebody forgot to put a gas tank in them when they designed the thing..... And down on the carrier, 10 points for whoever can spot the deliberate mistake, ahem.

More of the new DCS clouds plus Cyprus I think.....

So, I should of died, talk about lucky, see 3:28.....

This thread needs more TOMCATS! Take off from the super carrier, Dogfight against 4 Mig 21's and a cargo plane kill, plus some valley flying, And the carrier landing, Tomcats!

Hi Marc welcome, look forward to flying with you 👍

I got a Mig 21 for Christmas, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

More SEAD in the Viper, HARMS this time, not really relaxing, but my favourite mission profile at the moment..... Using both HARMS in HAS mode for closer in and RUK mode for stand off against longer range threats. RUK mode, 2 attack runs and evasion in HAS mode, I really love the Viper!!! After that second vid, I still had plenty of fuel so I shot down a couple of Mig 23's just for good measure before landing, what a plane!!!

So playing around a bit more with optical mavs...... Urgent intel just in, special forces observers have just reported in, a helicopter is being prepped to take off, carrying a high value target, can't be allowed to leave. The area is protected by 3 SAM systems and AAA positions, you have around 10 mins from scramble to neutralise the SAM's and disable the helicopter, to allow A 10's to level the rest. Sure, no problem, i've got a Viper.... Co-ordinates of the SAM's and Helicopter have been uploaded to the Viper (me on the ground in actuality along with Boresighting the mav seeker heads....) Scramble...... On the way up.... Target area afterwards less than 10 mins after scramble..... Disabled Helicopter, On the way home,

Loving Mavericks in the F16 in the latest beta which fixed the pre mode for using them,

How low is to low in a dogfight......

So I succumbed to buying the MB-339 today to get a slightly faster fix in this, and whist its not a grey jet, it goes someway to scratching that itch.... The clouds in this game are just something else, it doesn't really matter to me at the moment where I'm flying, just give me broken clouds!!!!! I love them!!!! Edit, I had no idea where I landed, other than north west ish of London, after a bit of searching on google maps (sorry microsoft.....) found it was Abingdon Airfield, just south of Oxford, https://goo.gl/maps/zzhaTsDc3zi9AmuJ9

Fighters are for protecting the bombers. If fighters can take bombs, no point in the bombers. Want to bomb something, take a ground attack plane, want to shoot other planes down, take a fighter... My two cents....

I got around to patching this yesterday, all 29 gigs of it! Had a bimble around the grand canyon then somewhere in England (don't actually know where i clicked, somewhere in the middleish!). Turned everything up to Ultra for shits and giggles, and in 4K, my eight core overclocked to 5.0Ghz and Rtx 2080Ti with 11gig of memory and superfast fibre, can just about get mid 30's fps, lol. But, but, those clouds are so bloody amazing!

Todd made a 1 v 1 mission in RoF way back when, in the same style as the old one on il2, so it is possible to do in GB, lol. Not by me though, life is to short to use the GB ME.
