I love their group ops, like the drag races or recreations of historic flights. They always bring humor and quite some knowledge.

The cobra landing onto the carrier vid was hilarious 
I used to not really care much until they pulled that paid training fiasco. That is what gave me a strong dislike for them.

Points to whomever posts a summary so I donât have to watch it all.
They should have put topic timestamps in the video description as well.

I wasnât actively listening âŠfew things I got out of.
They said Island map will be end of year or Q1 of next year.
Syrian map will be end of Sep to November time. Same time frame Carrier will get update.
Mosquito is being tested - so we might see it soonish.
WaitâŠwhat? Iâm on their discord (not long term, joined a a little while ago) is that seriously what they tried to pull?
Yes. The backlash was pretty much instantaneous with some even rightly pointing out that in some of their tutorial videos you can clearly tell that Cap is just learning it as they shoot the video (with some âoops, actually do thisâ kind of moments).

I didnât pay it that much attention (GR isnât my âgo toâ place for information and such) but it seems they were offering lessons on DCS for a fee. Recently saw, oh whatâs-his-name?..yeah, Spudknocker, doing something sorta similar; lessonâs to patreonâs.
Harmless really, at least to me, but I guess it was the idea of it that rankled people. I dunno, I suppose you could see a scenario where a ânoobâ came along and asked for help and then was given a price for the passage of said knowledge.
My impression was that a lot of people thought there was a bit of âhubrisâ in that; the blind leading the blind, the second partyâs ignorance being taken advantage of. This is just a WAG on my part as to what caused all the smoke.
Some people take this way too seriously.

This and all things.

SoâŠDO sweat the small stuff 
Yes, but in this case I would read it thusly: dont sweat finances, politics, DCS and your job, but do take great care about why the yellow truck is better than the green one or wether a triceratops would win against a stegosaurus.

Or Godzilla vs KongâŠI demand a rematch.
Result. Thats pretty accurately describing how my brain works⊠in the list of my favourite tanker aircraft, does the Kc46 beat the Voyager because it has a boom, and in the list of OVERALL favourite planes does the voyager score higher than the Kc46 because its an RAF plane even though I prefer the 46 as a tanker aircraft.
Total nonsense. But I spend hours thinking about it.
Hopefully there is a joke there somewhere, because KC-46 is a a complete clown-world. Will not be operation for a long-long time.

The biggest issue is they were claiming they had EDâs express backing for official DCS: World training sessions.
âŠand used images stolen from Chuck while attempting this whole thing.
Thereâs other things, but you can find them in a current thread in Hoggit- I wonât bring them up here.

You donât know how long my mental lists are, I spend a great deal of time driving and thinking of inane nonsense like this to pass the time and the 46 is UNDOUBTEDLY going to be a better tanker over voyager. Just maybe not right away lol

I havenât compared the two, but 46 is a disaster. It canât do its primary mission ⊠I could give a long list as to why, but that information is not for public.

I would love to sit down with you and let you talk about your experiences. Iâm a hopeless tanker nerd.
Have you read Mark Hasaraâs book âTanker pilotâ its fantastic. Iâve watched all his interviews and video on YouTube. I literally am a tanker groupie.
Donât even get me started on Handley Page Victors. I could gibber on for hours.

Never met anyone like that⊠Iâm a KC-135R pilot by trade and find âtankingâ to be boringâŠwhich is exactly how it should be.
Anyhow, donât want to derail this topic.
