Not making it tonight

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late notice, but I’m not making it tonight. I’m in the middle of grading papers, and I had hoped to be finished by now, but it’s really slow going. So I won’t be on this evening. Hope to see you all next week.

Re: Beta Update 02.22.24

Does this update combine Beta with the Standard version. DCS Newsletter says they are doing this, but I'm not sure if we need to do anything special to make sure we're using this new standard/beta version.

We can do that too! Just specify the genre. :-)

Re: What are your top 5 RPG's of all time?

Perhaps a better question would be what are the all-time GENRE DEFINING games? For example, third person action RPG? I would probably say Dark Souls. FPS RPG? Probably one of the Elder Scrolls. Turn based Isometric? Baldur's Gate 1. Turn based Top down? Ultima 6

Re: What are your top 5 RPG's of all time?

Far too many to narrow down to just five. No particular order as they are all great in their own way: Dark souls Ultima 6 mass Effect Elder Scrolls: Morrowwind Dragon Age Caveats: I have not played cyberpunk or BG3 yet.

Won't be on Valentine's Day`

Hi gang, Because it's Valentine's Day and my wife we'll be off work early, I won't be on Wednesday evening. If anyone wants to fly Thursday night, I might be able to make it, but it's proving a real busy week as we prepare for major backpacks next week and dealing with some other obligations. Let me...

Re: DCS IN-Game Voice Chat/VOIP/Radio

I do recall you mentioning it. I just don't think we ever got around to it. I was certainly willing to give it a go. Let's try it and see if it's better than TS. One thing I do like about TS that you might not get with DCS' VOIP is the ability raise and lower volume. Some of you speak very loud and ...

Re: DCS Heatblur F-4E Now Available for Pre-Order with 25% Off

I agree that there is a lot of overly critical posts out there. But, what my grievances with ED can hardly be considered unreasonable. As you say, we shouldn't give them carte blanche. They should be able to provide the basics in their simulation: proper ATC, reasonably reliable and dynamic friendly...

Probably not on 12/27

Hi guys,

We have a dinner plans with friends, and so there is a good chance I won't be on tomorrow night. If I can long on, I will do so.

Re: DCS Heatblur F-4E Now Available for Pre-Order with 25% Off

In my opinion, that doesn't make it right. So, just be grateful that there is a hardcore study sim keeping the genre somewhat alive? Should I just be grateful that they put together this wonderful, but deeply flawed product for which they've asked me to dole out hundreds of dollars in modules and te...

Re: DCS Heatblur F-4E Now Available for Pre-Order with 25% Off

Seems very odd that they chose to make the less capable of the F-4 variants. Providing the one would with a tail hook would've given the customer more variety. But, of course, it likely would been more expensive to research and create.

Won’t be on tonight

Hi folks,
My in-laws are visiting and so I won’t be on tonight. I should be on next week without issue. See you all then.

Re: This is hilarious

It's funny, yes. But, it's also quite a blunder. Any copy editor worth his or her salt should have a basic knowledge of military history and when certain legendary aircraft were in service. It's practically common knowledge, and a good editor has to be knowledgeable, at least a little bit, about eve...

Re: Wed 11.29.23 Hop Question

I bought the Sinai map this past weekend (it was ten bucks off but still pricey). I also have Normandy 1944, but not Normandy 2.0. I updated the list.

Re: Mission Tonight 11.29.23

I will try to be on at 8pm EDT. I'm fine with doing whatever. It may be that one of the RLG modified TTI missions will suit our needs until foothold is repaired. I did buy the Sinai map in case we end up flying on it. I may not make it tonight as I'm in the middle of grading a stack of papers and th...

Problems with Foothold

Hi guys, As you all know, the latest update has ruined foothold for the moment. Hopefully, the mission's creator(s) will fix it and we can upload a new version soon. In the meantime, does anyone know if the Inferno missions work? Perhaps we should consider just running those. We can set up a target ...
