will be there … there may still be some coughing, so no making me laugh
Don’t you know that we Germans have no sense of humour?
@schurem I updated the mission and send you a link to a Google drive folder with missions and tacviews on Discord. I am getting dinner now and will be online in roughly one hour from now.
Sehr gut. I have some domestics to take care of and I’ll hit you up on discord.
I’ll be on in 10-15. Wrapping up some work items.
No rush. I am in the flight ops channel but still cleaning the kitchen. Will be ready to fly around the same time I guess.
was just on the ED discord … someome mentioned the ed website is down as is MP
Seems to be back up now
Derby, you host, ill hop on as soon as I can
fantastic sightseeing fligh, thanks @Derbysieger @chipwich @schurem sorry couldnt stay around longer …
Awesome shots gentlemen. Sorry I could only join so late, missed most of the fun, though me and @Derbysieger did our best to inconvenience a red column that was invading [town name] to rob the beer and currywurst. Our clusterbombs fell into the woods really spectacularly, and my six pods of HEAT rockets did F-all in a tremendously explosive and smoky way. One of Derby’s mavericks managed to connect, so it wasn’t a bust I guess. Oh and we both parked our phantoms in a state that would allow re-use
Goslar, just north of the Harz mountains
I talked so much that I forgot to take many screenshots…
@schurem in the break at Fassberg near Munster in the Lüneburg Heath
Rainbow!
These shots are making me want to get back in the Phantom. I’ve been a rotorhead with the KW lately.
She makes you appreciate a HUD sometimes. Yesterday coming in for landing at Tegel, I botched my scan on short final, going from analog ASI to AoA, then to lineup. I was hot due to getting behind the throttle, feeling a big sink, then adding too much thrust. At some point I gave up any sort of scan and thought f-it, just fly the f-ing f-er. Greased it. Jester said, “that landing brought a tear to my eye”
It’s such a feeling of accomplishment flying the big beast. Now I know why in old 8mm movies those flight crews taxing up after missions, canopies open, with their arms resting on the canopy sills, as if to say, “We bad, uh-huh.”
Hey @Derbysieger , did you ever learn why Jester had lost his digital mind yesterday?
Flying heatblur modules sure does give you that feeling eh. I been hacking away on @reflected’s Speed & Angels for a bit, and that big turkeybird is one bad motherlover too.
No idea what was wrong. It worked fine after I respawned at Gütersloh to meet up with @schurem
Talking about sticky landing gear… I was buzzing around in the phantom and hit a wrong key, started to lower landing gear in flight then lifted it again … later on had an issuse where mavs wouldnt fire, so jettisoned them. later had a had a quick look outside and noticed
Is anyone interested in flying on Saturday at the usual time?
