Thanks for last night... (2017-05-04, may the fourth be with you!)

Had good fun even though it was brief for me.

…that’s what she said! :roflmao:

I arrived home quite late, had to update DCS, and when I joined TS no-one seemed to listen to what I said. Turned out I had managed to turn off my microphone! :rolleyes: Once that was sorted Stuntman got a server up and we could finally take-off, didn’t fly long when OD joined TS and we decided to switch host, in that last minutes goofing around I managed to fly into Topsy. :o

So out we went, OD tried to host, but due to new router (we think), it didn’t work, so Stuntman had to edit his mission and open up for more players (which he forgot), so someone decided to kill me while I was gliding around in my fuel-less Spit. By then it was past bedtime for me.

Nonetheless, despite the hickups, it was good fun flying with you lads again. I hope Mram dares download DCS as well (and get at least the Spit and the Viggen! :wink: ) and that we all will fly together again. :slight_smile: Normandy is on the horizon, I plan to pre-purchase the bundle during the weekend.

It was wonderful to see all of you again in the virtual skies and fly in formation. Apologies for the bad flight lead stability and general lack of flying skills. Replacing flying hours with factory hours is certainly not compatible.:roflmao:

I hope to mix together a quick highlights video showcasing our best formations and acrobatics. I just hope it is possible to make a new track from the old, like in good old IL-2 track system.

Else I have to rewind 2 hours every time I want to re-play a scene!

The formation flying was great. Formation aerobatics with a Spitifre and a Mustang! Hard work, good fun! Don’t think I’ve flown stuff like that quite so close before!

Sorry about the router issues. Hoping I have that fixed now. I have put my PC in the “DMZ” so it should just work.

It was stunning to see a Spitfire and a Mustang on either side in a turn, closer than I have ever seen them before!

Isn’t DMZ a bit vulnerable? In any case I will be happy to be a reserve host so send me any missions you have made or whatever missions people want to fly. I just made a quick mission yesterday just for the formation flying. If people want to fight AI fighters, send me your missions or I can try and make a bad one myself. :rolleyes:

It should be fine. Still has a firewall. I will try and get it working, not happy wit this router at all though.

Hope you did manage to get a recording of the flights? Also what about TS, were you recording that?

Twitch by default did not save my stream, so I have the track file only. A bummer! But instead I can make a cinematic highlights of the session.

For next time I got Twitch to save the stream, if we want to try it again :slight_smile:

ANd no TS recording for same reason. Damn you Twitch default settings!

Long long time since i’ve flown DCS last time…thank you very much chaps, it has been a wonderful night!

As always i still think DCS is the future, and great flying by OD…is something you don’t see everyday with different planes, next time you’ll be leading OD and i’ll be chasing with the Mustang. :cool:

Very much likewise Cappe, haven’t flown DCS in a long while (except for our little formation for the trailer).

And I second on keeping OD as lead, excellent flying. And more so I can stay where I belong in the back and focus on recording.

Yes some excellent formation flying last night… still getting to grips with the Spit… Sorry Mikke
my trigger finger was a bit itchy by last night… lol and you were out of fuel… saved you the trouble of a dead stick landing

Stevie

Its so very hard not too Red :cool:

Fun watching, but everything was setup for BOS, but I do love the DCS Spit. (prefer the BOS damage model and offline missions in VR though)

Ditto on Mram joining the DCS party and Pinetree.

Ha ha, itchy trigger finger, I can relate to that. :smiley: Just surprised you killed me in the first shots, didn’t see any tracers, didn’t hear any hits, just instant black! :eek:
