You know…I can be pretty critical of developers for screens and videos that they put out that don’t showcase their product real well…but CaptainSim did a fantastic job with their L-1011 video…I’m almost sold. Just sitting here staring at their product page trying to justify more stuff…LOL…

You think he hit those birds?

I don’t know…I just know in my sick mind I was hoping they slipped a nude flight attendant livery in there for some Naturalist Charter Air… LOL… Put a big beaver on the fuselage.

So me good deals, Main highlights, for me, would be the A330 by RWD although I would probably go for the JAR A330 if I was going to get one.

747-8 package

That DHC-6 300 caught my eye and as usual the Dash 8 is always a great one.

Should note that the 787 is only good until 2300 zulu 12 Jan 16. So about another hour from this post time.

Yeah…the Twin Otter is a good deal and a fun airplane for $19.60…(although it is slightly aggravating that it doesn’t have a pilot at the controls from the external views…grrr…)

Have you ever watched this @BeachAV8R? It was a while a go I saw it, but it was very good.

The ol tube has it in parts, although not sure how legally…

@fearlessfrog - Ah…I had not seen that… Wonder if I can Amazon Prime or Netflix watch it… I’ll check it out. I love documentary/dramas/books based on stuff like that.

I mean, you think stuff is boring…until you read about it… LOL…

My favorite “boring” book…a huge tome that I absolutely at up (because I lived there). The history is awesome:

The Grumman G21-A Goose is on sale at the X-Plane.org store for $9.95 for the next 8 hours. While not a Carenado level of cockpit detail…it is a fun plane to fly in X-Plane, and includes the turbine variant.

Arma 3 Helo DLC is $7.99. Marksmen is also $7.99. Or I can get the set (plus carts, meh) for $12.49…

Hrm…if only I actually played Arma 3 more often…

Who wants to set up an Arma 3 game night?

I’d be down. The SimHQ Military Monday night intimidates me a little bit…

The SimHQ Military Monday should not intimidate you. Its a great group who take time to help new people out … just make sure you are on there an hour before start to work through any issues (they usually have a sandbox mission running as a warm up). They are not strict on tactics, as long as everyone has some fun and doesn’t run the wrong way :smile:

Seriously. They are a good crew to start with. Post in the forums and they will help out.

I think that there has been some talk of an Arma3 night here. Let’s talk @EinsteinEP (and @near_blind).

A bunch of friends and I just picked up HELLDIVERS yesterday- we all agree it’s what a Starship Troopers game should be! I imagine it would be a little lackluster on its own, but with a crowd of people on voice comms the hilarity commences readily.
