Title: Flight Sim News Sources.
Post by: Mayhem on April 27, 2026, 08:03:34 PM
Does any one have decent flight sim news sources outside of Youtube and Social Media?

I use to follow https://www.combatsim.com/ (https://www.combatsim.com/) but I think all of their dedicated writers left.

The only other web based news source I follow for Sim news is https://stormbirds.blog/ (https://stormbirds.blog/)

Everything else is on Youtube or social media like "How I Play"

Even Rod “WarGameGuru” White's Youtube channel has been silent for about 4 years.

So does anyone have good official flight sim news sources they would like to share?

I assume you are specifically interested in combat flight sims.

* My main sources to stay in touch are HIP (How I Play...YT) News has broad sim coverage.
* Enigma's channel.
* Reddit/r/Hoggit.

I view it regularly. It's DCS oriented but not entirely.

Yes.  Unless you are spamming, I've never seen a problem with discussing something interesting in combat sims.

I see posts on BMS.  Not as many on IL2.

A thread there now about the RWR in the upcoming F-100 in DCS. Someone posted "here's a documentary of a similar one in action" and it's a link to a segment of the movie Flight of the Intruder. LOL

Flight of the Intruder. The book was great. The movie not so much.

Hmm that reminds me, I have Audible credits to use.

That would make great ear-buds hot tub material.

"Ear-buds hot tub material." I saw that flick, pretty funny.

As Iron said, "Flight of the Intruder" a good read/listen.

Lots of superb Reddit threads both for sims and wwii aviation in general.

For the most part I just go to the forums for each game that I'm interested in. The problem I find is some of them have a  bunch of garbage to filter. I also follow growling sidewinder from time to time.

For the most part I get my Flight Sim news from Youtube and social media followed by redit and forums. Web/webpage based resources appear to be really limited.

F-100 and F-105 are my two favorite jets, ever (and the 106 my third, Puma44!).  I wonder if they have the Thunderbirds skin for the Hun.  Even though they've flown other planes longer than they flew the F-100, that's how I still think of the Thunderbirds.

Some have no need for speed. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If you order 100, I think you'll get a 10% volume discount.

Or you should.

In the latest video from Grinelli they say that they modeled the flameout on the engine when you advance the throttle to fast.

Someone has to make a video of the Sabre Dance to the music of the Neutron Dance.

The only ones left are disgruntled former players. You show zero respect for current player’s life is all about you. Wonder why non reply here but the stray dog feeder. You are projecting

Of course if we view your judgements skills the world would not be suffering YOUR choice. So ya, horrific judgement skills.

Life is all about dcs elites, the know it all of all games, superior to all. You guys ruined this bbs
