Just try not to break your wrist like I have just done. No flying or DCS for me. A decent cold should suffice ;). .

I’m hoping that after the more permanent cast is fitted tomorrow I will have a little more mobility with my hand so that I can at least clumsily use the stick and maybe the mouse. Of course, a Leftie stick grip would be great for flying an Airbus 320… hmmmmm,

They still fly using their hands? That’s a plane for babies! - Elijah Wood BTTF2
After Amazon buys Boeing in 15 years, all planes will be flown by Alexa.
“Alexa, set power to climb.”
“Ok, power set to climb.”
“Alexa, avoid that storm ahead, I really don’t care how you do it.”
“Ok, rerouting south for 15 miles.”
“Alexa, play the latest Rolling Stones album in the cabin.”
“Ok, but I can’t believe Keith Richards is still alive, either.”

Heh I know that feeling. My daughter just turned seven and when mommy doesn’t watch I keep her training relevant in Rise of Flight.
She can fly straight and level and perform flat turns with the Bebe!
Soon She’ll be able to take off 
No weapons so far, jsut the pleasure of flying.
EDIT: Gosh we all know where this is going… Soon we’ll have our kids to do the fly-ins in Father-child teams!

Now I really want that trainer to be finished, looking at you Aviodev!

Over the weekend the team implemented both big and small items into the latest build that move us ever forward to an Early Access release. We are still on track for an Early Access release prior to the end of Spring 2018. However, we have no tighter estimate at this time given the complexities involved and the unknowns of how long testing will require.
1- The Waypoint navigation system is now functional in the simulation and tied to the Inertial Navigation System (INS). This includes indications both on the HSI and HUD. This also includes most of the functionality for the HSI/DATA/WYPT page. This will provide most waypoint functions used by players. After Early Access release, we will implement the option for the programming of three waypoint sequences in the Mission Editor and the creation of Offset Waypoints using the HSI page. The last big item for waypoints in the Early Access release will be implementing the Waypoint Designate (WPDSG) option, that will set the selected waypoint as the target point. This is important for both weapon and sensor cuing.
2- Starting from an airfield or aircraft carrier has some key differences when setting up the cockpit controls. For example: When starting from an airfield, the Hook Bypass switch should be set to FIELD and the Anti-Skid switch should be set to ON; when starting on an aircraft carrier, the Hook Bypass switch should be set to should be set to CARRIER and the Anti-Skid switch should be set to OFF. This weekend we enabled the ability to set default cockpit configurations for Ramp, Hot, and Runway starts to account for the starting location.
3- Aerial refueling is now implemented. Now I just need to get good enough at this to not embarrass myself too much in a video.
4- Fuel dump logic and animation has been implemented. This can be quite important to meeting max trap weights.
Onward and upwards!
Thanks,
