Jets?

Never had an interest in them..once you lose the prop you lose me...except for the occasional 262

Funny, I had the exact same feeling and it has been the major reason I waited so long to try DCS.  Then after enjoying some of the WWII aircraft in that sim, I decided to try jets.  I was surprised how much I actually liked them.  The addition of missiles and faster speeds requires different dogfighting tactics than WWII (hence running back to Shaw's "Fighter Combat").  Jet BFM requires more "future thinking" than WWII, so I found it more cerebral and less reflex.

All that does not take away from WWII aircraft.  I still enjoy single mission, campaign,and multiplayer in WWII.

It is nice that when I want to play I don't have to account for player side imbalance and I have great single player content always available.

In any case, I do not want this thread to devolve into AH bashing or promoting another sim.  If anyone has questions regarding DCS, please PM me and I will be happy to share my thoughts and experiences.

In Air Warrior jets wer e  available if memory proves right and in their own arena.I recall an F86 saber and possibly a Mig same era. They were fun to fly but I wasnt able to change my kill/death score any more that I do now.
         I also found some paperwork here for me from Air Warrior back in 1996. Ive been doing this foolishness for a long time

Dear Tshark, as i struggle to keep things interesting for the player community, nothing saddens me more then seeing someone ive grown to consider a friend leave the game. while the number are low i have always hoped that my events, and some of the others would keep people interested. that being said, im very sorry to see you leave.
i hope you enjoy your new endeavor and know that you are always welcome to come back and join the Monday Night Madness family when you have an urge.
you will be sorely missed but i wish you well and hope you enjoy what you're doing. God bless
