Another 1.1 million USD transfered to TFC

Nick Grey (owner of Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection) has again transferred more money in August 2025 (this time, 1.1 million USD) from ED to TFC through his shell company, Patina. These are interest free "permanent" loans that will never be repaid to ED. The filings for the money...

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

I would go the liquid cooler route. There is no reason not to. They are relatively cheap, already fully assembled, and far superior. You aren't clamping anything, you aren't filling it, it's turn key. It is actually considered the defacto standard now on all modern gaming pcs I think. Everyone uses ...

Re: Foothold Cold War Germany 08.09.25

They just had a major update come out a few months ago. I haven't tried BMS ever so really can't speak to it. But supposedly it has come a lot further since 2018. I may try and fool around with it some time soon.

Re: Continuing to consider options for upgrading/building new PC. Quick question:

Chances are any processor fitting that older motherboard will not be Windows 11 compatible. Current day i7's are not compatible with older motherboards because the sockets are different (by design). I had an older i7 and it was not Windows 11 compatible. By the way, this is a totally manufactured Mi...

Re: Foothold Cold War Germany 08.09.25

That gives you time to consider a purchase or or something for the next DCS sale. I can't bring myself to stomach any more modules at this point because ED scammed Razbam out of more than $3 million and later pinned it on a manufactured IP claim as a scam. They release half finished modules to get ...

Re: Xpendable's WIP Harrier cockpit

Thank you! I am slowly making more progress but it's almost at a snails pace it seems even though every little thing takes a long time. My wife is showing signs of frustration with the amount of time I have spent on it this summer so I probably have to back off a little. I go back to work on Monday,...

I won't be on 8/6/2025

I won't be able to fly tonight because it's my daughter's 12th birthday today and we are celebrating by going out to dinner. Hope to catch you all next week!

    WIP on standby ADI for my Harrier

    This is very much a work in progress on something that I have designed and built from scratch. It's a working, scaled replica of the standby ADI (attitude instrument) for the Harrier. I have been working on this for about 3 weeks now, and more revisions are still needed. This video is the first time...

    Xpendable's 3 air-to-air kills in a span of 2 minutes in a Harrier. Honestly, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

    Multiplayer game-breaking bug to avoid AIM-120

    I saw this item this morning. Probably some of you know this already as it's been there for awhile. This may not really pertain to us since we don't do PVP. But basically, if an AIM-120 is fired at you, all you have to do is go into a fast roll (possibly while pulling back on the stick slight), and ...

    Re: CA-27 Simpit using a real CA-27 aircraft

    There's not much to move to. You have MSFS2024, but that's non-combat. You have BMS which is basically Falcon 4.0 with some improvements. There is a Falcon 5.0 in the works, but not sure how close we are to that being released - I think that's far off. I won't even mention War Thunder, because that'...
