I didnāt have time to watch the vid as I was driving to work but now I haveā¦andohmygoditlooksamazing! But now Iām sad againā¦
If itās anything like the Hornet was, Iām definitely not looking forward to it. For every informative video by Redkite or Jabbers or Magz, youāve got twenty INTENSE FOUR Tomcat DOGFIGHT shooting AIM-54 PHEONIX into SPACE XD!!! videos that make me want gnaw off my own arm.
Let me in on a little secret:
You donāt have to watch em all you know. Just watch the good ones.
Inapplicable reference. Itās not like I stay up at night in a troubled stupor, telling off every video creator I donāt like. YouTube knows I like DCS, every time Iām watching what Iād normally watch it inundates me with videos of people playing with something I want and care very deeply about in a fashion I donāt enjoy.
Itās a month of persistent annoyance, Iām not looking forward to it.
Iāll have my tower flyby tutorial up shortly.
Iām gonna read the navops manual again and sulk in the corner
Please donāt do that! Please!
Youāre going to need both arms to fly the kitty.
Iām going to see if I can get it early and then just post video after video of trying to shoehorn it into the Boulder City runway.
Hey @nicholas.dackard - remember, this project would have gotten nowhere without me and my 12v battery.
This could be better than when I bought the Rift and let it sit in a box for a month.
@BeachAV8R, you know, if you really wanted to be meanā¦ā¦.
Get @fearless frog to code a block on @near_blind 's account for any post with f14 in it. But he can still see the titleā¦ā¦ā¦.
Iām going back to reddit you lot are meanā¦
I think you wpuld get a zillion views on youtube if you got dr. Girlfriend to tape that :devil:
Fool, that does nothing but increase my strength.
Iām confused. There is supposed to be some announcement this weekend, yes? It seems from the thread that the catās out of the bag and it isnāt the news people were hoping. This is based on a video of a Tomcat landing on a carrier? What am I missing?
Thereās still an announcement, there has been no bad news. This can be distilled down to whinging that there are people who have, and people who will have the Tomcat in advance of its release, and I am not one of them.
Mind you I have read the NATOPs for all three variants, have a small library of books written about and by the people who flew them, then got bored and started scouring through DTIC and the declassified CIA archives about US and Soviet doctrine from the 1950s through the 1980s, then for stuff and giggles went through and traced the historical context and technological development that informed those decisions back through the 40s
Essentially Iāve been aggressively immersing myself in broader subject for the past three years after being vaguely interested in it for as long as I can remember, and now Iām sitting on a bunch of domain knowledge. Iād love to apply and share it, and weāre approaching the cusp of that, but as the wait becomes shorter the anticipation and resultant frustration also grow.
tl;dr
also checking the clock
So why not use your accumulated knowledge and join the dark side. You might have used some of the past three years to gain a shady reputation as a YouTube content creator yourselfā¦
Itās never too late to start a Twitch account
