Retirement is a wonderful thing! I retired in 2016, just in time for the VR wave to hit and got into it in Jan 2017. Let me tell ya I have so loved my flight simming especially since I retired. Finally able to devote a lot of time to my passion for a hobby.

Well I was involved in IL-2 GB from the beginning with the first early access and all throughout the additions. I don't recall large formations being able to be done but certainly could be wrong I guess. I have just never seen them. At least no where near how DCS does with large formations. All of my flying was with either PWCG or Career Mode.

Just please for the love of all, do not make the AI use the same flight models as the player plane. I believe that was the big detriment to large formations in IL-2 GB?

Fwiw all the buttons required to startup in a WWII bird are in fact very few. I can have my engines running and warmed up to begin to taxi in like 5 minutes. This is with the Spit and the P-51 in DCS.

Nice!

I fly sims mostly combat for several hours on just about every day. Sunday's not so much but the other 6 days - yep. All single player and love it, I would not trade it for anything.

👍

Don't look back gang, look forward...

Really? How many years have they been saying that now? I uninstalled the game a long time ago. Can't see me ever re-installing.

Very nice!!

Thanks!

Well we already have here way more information on what is coming down the pike here than that "other sim". Not surprising with Jason at the helm here. Incredible.

Goodness I gave up on this one quite some time ago. Hard to believe it still never got done.

Sounding great really looking forward to this.

Fully agree.

I run a Virpil CM3 Throttle and a Virpil CM3 Base with Alpha Prime grip, on a 200mm extension. Love the setup.

I hope so.

Actually DCS benefited nicely from the initial implementation of MT. And it is still in beta. Have not tried MSFS 2020 yet. So yeah I hope to see it in this new sim for sure.

Yep too limited in size and scope, never really felt part of something much larger. I supposed the elaborate "AI using exact same FM as the player" thing could have kept it limited but I don't know.

One thing I would love to see is native Open XR support for VR, and also if possible Quad View support for VR. The latter I am not real sure what all would be involved there - I can tell you for headsets that have quad view and games that support quad view, Dynamic Foveated Rendering with eye tracking can be used to very signicantly increase VR performance. We have seen this implemented successfully in DCS for Quest Pro and Varjo Aero. I understand Pimax Crystal will be getting it as well. I have the Varjo Aero and can tell you in DCS my performance boost running with eye tracked DFR was astounding. I also understand similar is being done in MSFS 2020 now as well with good success. Open XR is needed as Steam VR does not have quad view support currently.

And even if they did how in the world could that possibly bother someone else, I mean no one would see it right...

My first was Red Baron.

👍

I feel your pain, mine is at 540 Gb now. Hoping I have enough room till I do a new build sometime early 2024.

I think it is probably better somewhat now. It is a busy Discord for sure - I tend to check it off and on daily and really have not run across much of that. I subscribe to the Combat Pilot, IL-2, and DCS Discords.
