I got you I think. So you want to record transmitting, but not the grunting and heavy breathing.

Yeah, and I would very much like to bind it to my HOTAS and not the Keyboard. I already have SRS set up for it (with voicemeeter). When I find the time to set it up Iâll make a post about it. If I manage it anyway 
Edit: When I ended up at Rovaniemi I had terrible performance. Turns out it was probably just a result of my extensive use of the F10 map. I did notice that it can have a huge impact on performance. I just flew around the area on the same server with a bunch of Squadron mates and I was at around 45fps the whole time. Rovaniemi does look really good as well. Easily the most detailed area of the map that I have explored so far.

I set my OBS to record mic on a separate track so I can edit out my nasal propulsion system in my video editor.

For videos that works but not for streaming 
I have it set up to record three different audio tracks: game audio, SRS audio (with mic passthrough via voicemeeter) and finally the mic with a PTT key combo.
For recordings I can edit the audio tracks, no question.

I guess the noise gate that comes with OBS isnât working for you, other options would be the Reaper VST plugins ReaGate (CPU) or my preferred option which is Nvidiaâs Audio FX SDK (if you have an RTX GPU) if you wanted to try to do this using filters?
Only other option would be something like Joy2Key?
I want to thank ORBX for including my home, car and myself in their Kola scenery.
For comparison, here is an actual pic of our horses, when they were pasturing near our home.
Note the mountains in the backgroundâŚI think ORBX did a good job.

Vestfjorden is well big enough for carrier operations plus the prevailing westerly winds are favorable.
Back during the Cold War, the plan to defend NATO´s Northern Flank was to push a couple (2-3) carriers up into Vestfjorden (along with their escorts) and mine them in.
The idea is that it prevents the Soviets/Russians from getting a clean shot with their long range surface, subsurface and air launched ASCM; SS-N-12s, SS-N-19s and AS-N-4s. Why? Because the ships can terrain mask behind the Lofotens.
To get a clean shot the KIEV CVHGs, SLAVA CGs, KIROV CGN, OSCAR SSGNs and TU-22M BACKFIRES would have to move west then south through the Norwegian Sea to firing points southwest of Vestfjorden. All the while the carrier air would be attritting the ships and BACKFIREs (remember we had 2 squadrons of 12 x F-14s on each carrier) , while the USN subs went after the OSCARs (before they pushed into the Barents Sea and wen after the soviet boomers).
The RNoAF F-16s would guard the carriers´ eastern landward flank against Soviet TACAIR like Su-24s trying to sneak across the Norwegian mountains.
Also meanwhile, we would be sending Alpha Strikes against the naval bases and airfields in the Kola. All the while singing 99 LuftballoonsâŚ
At least that was the plan when Ensign Hangar200 rode the waves.

Are the prevailing winds seasonal? Iâve been injected Bodoâs METAR info into DCS the past few days and the winds have consistently been easterly. Part of the reason I was wondering about the carrier having enough room.

Yes, and no⌠
The wind in Bodø is largely dominated by katabatic flow from the mountains to the east of the city.
Here you can see the stats.
Largely easterly winds with westerly and southerly in the summer.
Compare that to Røst, at the very tip of the Lofoten island chain.
Winds all through the westerly sector, but rarely easterly winds.

Thatâs damned interesting. I wonder how well that strategy holds up today? The recent NATO memberships probably shook that plan up a bit. For the better.

I really wouldnât want to sail something as large and expensive as a CVBG past the Kattegat.

True, but when you have access to bases in both Sweden and Finland, the need for a local Carrier Group isnât as acute, perhapsâŚ
Although, there have been Carriers in the Baltic.

Yes, it probably has. I retired 10 years ago so I do not know. That said, when the USS GERALD FORD came to Norway, they exercised in Vestenfjord and had a Norwegian frigate as part of their group. In fact the CO of the frigate was the Strike Groupâs Surface Warfare Commander soâŚbut, like I said, I donât know.
Nor would I. Getting through the Strait of Gibraltar once the balloon has gone up will be tricky enough, and thatâs just a straight shot a flank speed.
I thought so. So the idea is that with western winds, start at the eastern side of Vestgfjorden and make a leisurely transit south westerly - adjusting course and speed to keep the wind across the deck - while conducting flight ops. Depending on the wind strength and direction, you might be able to launch/recover 2 cyclesâŚat least 1. Then you pull the rods and head back up northeast. âWash, Rinse, Repeatâ. With 2 carriers it should be fairly straight forward; each keeps on their opposite side of the trackâŚ3 CVNs and you are going to need to do some coordination. If the winds are easterly, it is just the opposite. Bottom Line: âRelative Wind is Your Friend.â 
Really? No â99 Luftballoonsâ comments? You all are too young.

Oh yes, I remember
I guess the idea was something like be careful if the balloon goes up, it might just be a balloon?

Yes itâs actually a peace song. A little bit like singing âwe shall overcomeâ as you climb through the clouds with the rest of your B-52 squadron.

Can we ascertain if this happened before @PaulRix bought it? Because if thatâs the caseâŚyou deserve an awardâŚ

Fascinating. Would the same terrain be a problem for like AEGIS type fleet defense stuff or would that largely have fallen on the E-2Cs and the F-14s providing around the clock capabilities?
