Never flown a warbird but I've done spins in a Piper Tomahawk. It'll lose a wing before you expect it.

Funny coincidence.  I deleted part of my previous post where I was going to reference my experience at the controls of a Piper Tomahawk & Cessna Skymaster as "...is so limited it has no bearing on my opinion of Sim flight models."

I have hours and hours of film from MoTA I meant to send to you and got completely side tracked and forgot so I apologize for that.

They will be available when HT has a chance to get the AHEvents site back up - assuming it has to do with his ISP changes this week.

Thanks for the fun. First day back in a while and I had a blast. Was very curious about the logs. Would it be possible to post them here?

Not sure if you can pull up the logs and cut and paste or if it the only option is to post via the site.

Aces High General Discussion / I'm back

Figured I'd take a break from IL2 for a month. Flew FSO tonight with the AKs and had a bunch of fun even with the lower numbers. I've got say AKs are one of the few squads left that in my opinion are worth a crap. I say this as a non member.
I landed a 110 4 times tonight! Wonder if I got any kills.

We'll see if the mods run me off again. I heard the muted a guy recently who's been calling people pooftas for years for calling somebody a poofta.

I don't have a high level of confidence that I won't be targeted as it seems to me that the mods know they are running without oversight so the can do whatever they want.

The couple of you that feel that you have to attack me over this post instead of realizing that what I say is true should go sit down and have a nice warm cup of.... as you're probably those mods that are causing the problems with many others as well.

Glad to be back! We'll see how long it lasts

DCS is a Jet Sim, and they do it well.

This is what I'll be focusing on when I hop into it hopefully next week (waiting on the pro clip for the Track IR I bought).  I'm debating whether or not to buy FC3.  I kinda feel like it takes away from the very challenge I wanted to try.  But, then again, I might get in over my head and wind up buying it anyway lol.

If you can learn this before I die, I'll be impressed.

Midas Heritage 3000 48 channel, 17 monitor mixes
(Image removed from quote.)

Late 1990s price, $70k (the price of a 90s home)
1,248 knobs, buttons and faders.
680 lbs, 6 people to lift

That's a whole bunch of NOPE for me.  I just had my sound guy (and band mate) my chords and say "this is my mic. this is my guitar." 

We had a fit trying to find a smaller board with 5 individual monitor channels because we all bought IEMs.  most everything we found had way too many channels and were way too expensive.  We finally found one though.  I can't remember what model.
