Re: Amazing historical ironies

Yes he did claim to see him, to the point of recognizing him in the picture. But, if you look at that BBC article you will see all the debunking evidence.

Re: Amazing historical ironies

Well, there is this one irony where PVT Tandey from the British Army in 1918 during a battle, had his sights on an unarmed German soldier who was wounded and trying to get to safety, and he declined to shoot him, sparing his life. He didn't know it at the time but it turned out that the German was n...

Foothold Sinai 04.03.24 Announcement

we've been testing Foothold Sinai on the RLG server trying to tweak out the lag problems but haven't had much success. The issues seem to be a newer graphic intensive map on older hardware. When running the mission on an individual machine used as host, it seems to run OK. So the plan for right now ...

Foothold Sinai Easter 03.31.24

Re: DCS: Afghanistan Available for Pre-Purchase

From what I read, the only detailed space right now is the south portion. The rest is flyable but not in high detail. When those come out, if you purchased it, you will get the high detail version. For those who don't purchase the whole map, you can fly the whole map, just that the portions you didn...

RIP Louis Gosset, Jr.

Louis Gosset, Jr passed away today at the age of 87.

I had the opportunity to meet him a few years ago, and introduce him to my wife and son. He was so friendly and kind. I will cherish our conversation and encounter that we had, and I am glad to have met him.

Re: New Foothold Campaign: Sinai 03.21.24

When you get a chance hop on the server and see that your requests for the Harrier and Su-25T went through OK, I just uploaded the mission.

New Foothold Campaign: Sinai 03.21.24

As of 03.21.24, we completed Foothold Caucusus as we took over the last remaining stronghold in Tblisi. Not long afterwards, we were activated and re-deployed. We now find ourselves reporting for duty in the Sinai Peninsula for another Foothold campaign. We succeeded in taking Kadem-Hatzerim and sof...

Re: Masters of the Air: Episode 8

Well, today I saw the new episode of Masters of the Air and I was like, "YES! This is is the kind of episode I was waiting for! It FINALLY got really good." Then I found out it was the last episode. And they did take one artistic liberty too, I guess.

Oh well.

PS the scene where the colonel teaches them how to rip out a German throat was pretty disturbing. Although not as disturbing as the squish squish squish scene from Poor Things.

Re: Masters of the Air: Episode 8

As bones implied, this series is squarely aimed at mainstream audiences and not history/military aviation enthusiasts. I would estimate that 95% of people who watch Hollywood movies and/or tv shows featuring military operations have no clue when there are inaccuracies being portrayed on screen. Alt...

Re: Masters of the Air: Episode 8

So... I had a lot of problems with this episode, as reality and physics pretty much went out the window. Let's start with the fighters dropping their 250 or 500 lbs bombs. They depict them diving down on target and releasing their bombs at something less than 100 feet, and show the fireballs reachi...

03.06.24 Mission Night

WE were able to hit several SAMs at Mazdok but unfortunately there were huge amounts of JF-17, Mi-24, Mi-8m and convoy spawns that kep us busy enough that we couldn't hit everything we wanted to at Mazdok, and on top of that the SAMs I hit got rebuilt. WE did eliminate the convoys and helos trying t...

Hi guys,

Sorry for the late notice, but I’m not making it tonight. I’m in the middle of grading papers, and I had hoped to be finished by now, but it’s really slow going. So I won’t be on this evening. Hope to see you all next week.
