hnnnnggggnnngggh the want… so much want…

not just the jet, but the country it is flying over!

This is my favorite Hornet vid so far…The reflections/time of day/shadows everything just makes that pit look Magical

I’m feeling the excitement I had when ED announced DCS: A-10. I was soooo hyped for that module. Now, I’m feeling like this will be the one module to rule them all.

Surely this has been posted before, so apologies upfront, but I hadn’t seen it yet. Really great video on F-18 vs German Mig29’s.

A post was split to a new topic: Anyone Catch the SNL Fighter Pilot Skit

This one is so old I still have the orignal DVD of it from way back when. It is a great show.

Great video!

My only complaint is that the next video after it was about the “toughest jobs on a carrier.”

Needless to say I’m angry about that one now.

…and their lack of anything resembling a manual…which you never fail to call them on in your PC Piiot reviews :+1:

It does kind of resemble a drumbeat that doesn’t it? They seem content with how awful their documentation is. They should go visit Milviz to see how it should be done (or DCS…or hire @Chuck_Owl)

Ha! Being paid to write technical documents… now that’s a thought!

When I write those guides, sometimes I feel like one of these monkeys:

What are the chances that the Hornet will drop Friday? With it included in all of the media surrounding 2.5 OB release, my spidey senses are off the chart.

I find that highly unlikely. More like end of march, april for a release.

That 2.5 trailer ends on a shot of a hornet on finals. Telling shot that. Close but not there yet.

Would be cool, but I doubt it. Probably let the 2.5 release and bug squashing calm down before adding the new flagship module. Seems like a few minor old 2.2 bugs have reappeared, so I would expect they get things running smooth with 2.5 then keep the hype train going with the hornet.

About the same as Heatblur releasing the F-14 thursday or BST releasing the F-111 on Saturday.

Hornet drop Friday would be H U G E Surprise ,But I believe Wags stated no sooner than April.
I think we might see a “Persian Gulf” or Yak-52 Pre-Purchase coming though??

Are any of you planning on using 3 x TM MFDs?

You know, I’ve actually thought about this, but I don’t know if I have the space for it. Plus, I still need to buy a monitor anyway to mount the first two on - that’s the first thing - then I’ll see about space.

Now if I could still find one of that old handy TM button boards like @531Ghost has…
