This reminds me of RODBSTR.

Anybody remember admiral RODBSTR?

If I were running a playlist at a AH con, this would prolly be on the list to best describe most AHers. ALL good peeps with good intensions. The ones in love with the game the most are most times the loudest. Ever hsve a mind blowing fun drinking champaign?



Come down off that roof my friend.

DCS reminds me if a saying between vet sound engineers, “corporate events is where great sound digs go to die” because we’re not in high adrenaline concerts much anymore.

We end up sitting with a friend at a fireplace with red felt as smokers jackets with our emblem, , a pipe and a zigger of brandy,… talking about the days we had fun.

I refuse to give into that when most that experience is still kicking. I’ll never mentally grow old. I’ll never “conform”, this is my only life and I’m going full throttle.

And after we're all done socializing and having a few beers, we climb into our planes and grab an 8 track to listen to as we take off and climb toward combat I would suggest:

See.

When my dad was alive, every year he would go to canada fishing, no family. This was his break from raising 6 kids, and damn it he was going to spend on himself one week a year to do his thing. You just remember sometimes dads need to do their thing to stay grounded. Do something for yourself too. Its not a sin. You just have a conscience you’re leaving someone out. Thats just a good human. Do something for you too.

I think the last time I tried dcs in vr you could stand up or lean your head out of the cockpit frame and into the airstream..but couldn't turn my head far enough around to check my six..yes I know about the head turn hack

Got an email everything there is on sale again..

Too bad AH doesn't have the graphics dcs has as it's about the only thing it has over it imo..

At 66 not a fan of no auto pilot either lol

When I was a dad AH was my time.

I like all that engine management stuff. Oil pressure water temp, start up, taxi, take off and having to navigate over the Uk and Normandy without sat nav. I also like its D Day 1 + 1.2.3.4.5 with the relevant weather, magnetic north true to 1944  and the correct barrometric pressure etc    Ok its not for everyone 

After that if you shoot down a 109 yippee

No Icon, condensation on the windscreen, reflection on the canopy ground clutter etc   

Start up:
1) Engage Break
2) Switch on air filter
3)Switch on
4)Push rev limiter to max
5) Switch on Magnettos
6) Open fuel cock
7) Open switch covers.
8) Pump Fuel Pressure
9) Prime carburettors
10) Hit switches
11) Advance Mixture
12) Set revs so oil pressure under 120
13) Switch on fuel pump
14) Switch on instrument heating
15) Switch on gun sight
16) Set gun site
17) Close Switches
18) Wait till water temp 60c
You are now ready to taxi.


What is not to like

To be fare when you actually do manage to take off its something. Landing though 

You also have to set your compass gyro, correct for magnetic north and re set it after a dog fight as that throws it out. You have 3 minutes max at full power and need to manage your radiator in combat. Your fuel gauge is iffy at best.

And not blow the engine .. lol

ACM is not for everyone.

Fixed it for you.

Got to keep and eye on your T'S and P'S (Temperatures and pressures)

[Yarbles]

I would say the flight model is the same as AH in that regard as I am equally average in both. The big difference is that allot more kills are not seeing someone coming without Radar and  Icons. In that sense fights are allot more about SA than ACM.

btw I did know what you were saying dear friend 

In terms of ACM ah is second to none.  I have flown in 4 platforms and AH has it in flight model in my opinion.

In an axis v allies scenario the Spit will always win the turn fight in DCS. The opposition is K4 and 190's.  Spit is the 1943 Spit 9 and the slowest. When it comes to pure skill the AH vetrans probably have it.

I have to say the AH flight model has stood the test of time. The Gold standard.

Games are fun. Sometimes you want a simulator. Sometimes you want both. Good thing we don't have to choose only one. Brother and I just spent a couple hours flying over east Germany in the rain at night low level using flir in Strike Eagles. Bombed some warehouses then fought off SU-27s. Fun and lotta laughs. Zero drama. Well, except when he turned on his terrain following radar without setting it up first. Drama for him. Laughs for me.
