Absolutely... great video, and notice how the pilot gets to check his six and keep situational awareness, keeping a good lookout behind. He's not tightly strapped into the seat... remember all the complaints that used to come from people about TrackIR, lol! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had exactly that same thought when watching it about that ongoing debate about TrackIR and VRNecksafer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdriver Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Thanks for sharing. He made me chuckle with his comments about 12 hours of mission planning and up to 4 hours of debriefing. Ummm things have changed a lot since I was living that dream. Back in the Jurassic era maybe 4 to plan and no more than 60 minutes of debriefing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Jason_Williams Posted July 21, 2023 Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Share Posted July 21, 2023 And what's cool is these guys fly over my house everyday and during Red Flag it's a non-stop airshow on my driveway. Jason P.S. watching that video, the spotting in that game is whack!!!! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason P.S. watching that video, the spotting in that game is whack!!!! 🙂 Reminds me of something Dart said in a SimHQ article he wrote in 2010. Flight Sim to Flight Line by Frank "Dart" Giger Quote Draw distance for other aircraft needs to be improved. While I spotted a helicopter at five miles, it started out as a small black dot above the horizon and was very slow to resolve to a recognizable shape. A white Citation was invisible to both the instructor and me even though we were told where it was until less than a quarter mile away — and it was only 1000 feet lower than us! Something is screwy when you can’t see a white plane over green forests at one o’clock in the afternoon in clear skies. He even gave RoF a nice plug in the article. Quote Reaction to turbulence was reflexive. Thank you, Rise of Flight, for those horrible rainstorm missions in the Nieuport 17. I cursed you the whole way, but in the rolling air of an afternoon Alabama sky in July it paid off — I wasn’t shaken by it and neither over reacted or let it bully me.

Boba Fett Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Anyone have contact with Dart? I've always wanted to thank him for his excellent air combat videos in his twangy down home style.

He had a plane crash with his home built and some health issues in the last few years but he did post at SimHQ in May saying he was still on the mend from neck surgery last year.

wheelsup_cavu Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Here is the Playists section of Dart's YouTube channel @Boba Fett and @Feldgrün. https://www.youtube.com/@EntropyUnlimited/playlists There are several videos of him flying his Nieuport 11 home built and the repairs he was doing to it after his minor incident. If you go to the Videos section of his YouTube channel and scroll to the bottom there are some Rise of Flight and IL-2 Sturmovik videos. https://www.youtube.com/@EntropyUnlimited/videos Wheels 2 Quote Download Missions, Skins, & Essential files for IL-2 1946 and several other game series from Mission4Today.
