I know another person who bought the F-16 after he had enough of getting shot down in the sluggish Su 25T when doing SEAD missions over and over again 😉 I've heard he will join you once he finds time to fly again and has prepared the basic controls

Last time I checked you still were 😁 Nice clip there of the two Vulcans 👍 I didn't even know there were two variants. Were both of them in service or just the Mk2?

Best watched with headphones on or good speakers

Definitely useful for the upcoming cold war campaign that's in the works right now 👍

Here are some Screenshots I made of Chris and Tom flying in formation. Sadly I didn't know the hotkeys and i had to use the windows Screenshot tool so the quality is a bit lackluster

Since you requested for us to make a comment here: I'm in but won't drive tanks. Another suggestion to the scenario: If we don't get enough people for tanking, we could make it so that a flag can also be captured by paratroopers. For balancing reasons i suggest that the C-47 would need to drop 3 times while the Ju 52 would need to drop 2 times (since it is way slower than the 47) But this really depends on how many people are willing to drive tanks

I think it would make sense to limit the loadouts of the fighters to encourage playing bombers. It would be nice if only bombers had bombs and the fighters are purely air to air. I haven't looked at it but if the 51Ds have 150 octane it also would be more fair to remove it as well because the G-14 is not on par otherwise Just my two cents here

That would be really fun! I prefer the era of primitive heat seeker and semi active radar guided missiles. A mission with less long range SAM sites and more close range AAA would be very cool where the targets are moving convoys and tank columns

Thanks for keeping those that couldn't participate up to date. Looking forward to our Monday session 🫡

@delta7 I can totally understand your frustration with the matter. Flight sim game devs seem to have forgotten how to write proper code without breaking the game. I am still completely convinced that this bug that's causing the crashes has something to do with one of the previous patches. I'm sure they introduced a bug into one of the events that mission makers can use to trigger an action. The combat box admins also couldn't get their generated missions fixed despite rolling back to a version that was completely stable last year. Unless the devs pull their 💩 together and investigate their code base with the whole team I don't see how IL-2 can survive long term. But maybe it's a devilish plan to ruin the old game so everyone has to buy their new games (Korea and somewhere in the future Pacific). Just kidding, I fear it's sheer incompetence on their end... Once Combat Pilot runs stable and hopefully steadily receives updates, I'm the first to abandon ship and switch over. The current situation is a slap in the face of every WW2 aviation enthusiast to be honest. War Thunder clearly shows that there's interest in WW2 aviation games, but people expect a bit of stability and quality of life features in their games, combined with affordable pricing (looking at you too, DCS). So everyone and their friends stick with that one 🥲 Sorry for the venting. Apparently I'm a bit too frustrated about the current situation, that we have to endure right now, which truly is the dark age of flight sims..

Appreciate the recommendation 👍

As a computer scientist this is very interesting topic - thanks for the link 🫡

I was sitting on the veranda and suddenly heard something approaching the village. I could get only one shot with my phone camera but I wanted to share it nonetheless. I had never seen one before in real life.

The server seems to be quite popular - good advertisement for the squadron 😁

As a German this is a must pick 😁 I will buy it during the summer sale probably
