  3. Dcs - Current Status & Goodies To Come...

    Thanks for the update Fen. I will have a deep look in to my concience and see if I have enough scruple to get into another sim.

     

    You won't regret it Swep, it takes time but is very rewarding.

    With the release of 1.5.2 and having some time on my hands over the festive period i'm now even more of a convert.

     

    Thanks for the summary Tom, it certainly clears up some of my questions with regards to what is/was in development, not being a regular visitor to their forums etc.

     

    I simply cannot wait for Oculus, this game is going to be incredible with that.

    By a strange coincidence my loved ones clubbed together er...last August (coughs slightly) and got me this for chrimbo!

     

     

     

    Managed to fly it this morning for the first time - in between rain storms and now have a muddy chopper :rolleyes:

     

     

    Nice chopper!

     

    I used to fly a T-Rex 450 and an I.C Raptor 30 as an aside from my usual RC aeroplanes a few years ago.

    My RC flying has been on hiatus since about 2011, but parts of my Raptor live on with PapaBear.

     

    I flew RC pretty much as soon as I could walk and talk, i'll get back to it one of these days...

    I'll occasionally sit up in my loft and stroke my 1/6th scale Spitfire.  :P

  20. Remembering Ray Hanna

    Ray Hanna

    28/08/1928 - 01/12/05 

     

    It's hard to believe that 10 years have now passed since Ray left us.

    He and his late son Mark are what ignited my passion for aviation and particularly warbirds at an early age, thanks to PapaBear for exposing me to West Malling, Duxford and Biggin etc whilst still in nappies!

     

    Elliot Marsh from Global Aviation Resource has managed to articulate particularly well what Ray meant to many enthusiasts, his words resonating with my own thoughts and feelings.

    Scroll down to the bottom of this page for the article in question: http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2015/12/01/editorial-december-2015-remembering-ray-hanna/

     

    I could try and harp on, but more of my poorly articulated words would simply not do it justice.

    For those who were not familiar with Ray and his son Mark, or those who just wish to remember what it was like to see warbird flying at it's best, here are a selection of videos:

    And of course these!
