6 pointsMini ver. 9.95 FM update "package" included here for download: Dec. 11, 2020 (revised Dec. 20) - Includes a reworked FM for Stephen's beautiful one-gun (later version) Tripehound that was recently released. Top speed about 193-4 kph below about 500 feet alt., best climb rate about 6 m/s @ 110-120 kph or so. Stalls below high 80s kph. 10-20% rudder adequate to initiate turns (have detuned the rudder slightly from the stock FM). Ailerons are effective. When doing loops, use strong back stick but ease up quickly near the top of the loop so as not to spin out at the top. Good take-off speed of about 110 kph. Lands well at around 90 kph. Keep tail up until you drop below about 60 kph, otherwise with the tail dug into the ground at such speeds you risk a ground loop. Full throttle brings the tail up at speeds as low as 35-40 kph. Otherwise a pleasant type. Have also implemented MaxG limits on it so don't push it too much - dives are good to about the 330s kph or so, then the tall stack of wings tends to work against dives. Have changed the pilot seating position for one of Geezer's pilots that I have (see pic.) - so un-comment the default settings for the pilot if you like. Similar info. applies to the reworked FM for the early Tripe and two-gun Tripe that are now also included. The early Tripe has a top speed (optimistic estimate) of about 185 kph, and climb rate of about 5 m/s @ 110 kph or so. Dives are good/controllable only to about 240 kph on that one (with the early elevator). It takes off well at around 100 kph. The two-gun Tripe is now the rare, 142-3 hp "long stroke" Clerget Bf model - with a nice top speed of 198 kph or so, and similar climb rate to the later one-gun Tripe, at 110-120 kph or so. Have placed an actual throttle on the long-stroke variant, since these would have had some throttle control, etc., so using a blip switch on it is more limiting than necessary. Historical ceilings on the variants, etc. (Vickers now synchronized on all three variants of the Tripe too and linked to historical rates of fire and reliability, etc. - linked up with the various M.G. subtypes available in my big FM pack - those gun folders from the big FM pack are required if you want subtle M.G. changes across the various Tripes, since, for example, the early Tripe has a slower rate of fire, the other two are improvements, but none give 600 rds/min as typical of the Mk.II Vickers of later 1918.) Have also included reworked Decals and TextureSet documents in the zipped file, for all three Tripe variants, for a bit more gloss and shine on the linen, and to display British or French roundels correctly (since I was getting Swiss insignia in stock form for some reason). Also find included in the package my modified terrain data ini files for several theaters, and that are AMD vid-card friendly - to reduce flickering of towns and to improve tree/foliage variety (several alpha settings, among other settings, had to be changed, for terrains to look better on AMD video cards). Also included are modified cockpit ini files for the Tripes, for more field of view towards the tail. And, as well, find enclosed - per theater of operation - re-tweaked data inis for various Albatros types - that reduce mass fraction and structural factor values - to increase chance of damage (since they were a bit too robust with such values at stock). Happy flying all, Von S EDIT: removed download package - now included in the big, ver. 10.0 FM/realism package.

2 pointsMy doctor and I talked about it during my yearly checkup. He is frustrated, would like to drag the idiots into the ICU in full PPE to force them to see what is going on. He said he had a 90 year old woman call the current generation pussy's. If everyone would have just worn masks and stayed home except for absolute necessities this would have all been over in six months. Right now my county has become a hot spot with our infection and death rate spiking. I have barely been out of the house in months.

2 pointsI'd like to torpedo Bill Gates sometimes ... (using a IJN torp, as ours sucked) I assume, like 7, there's a way to turn of "auto updates?" on 10.

2 pointsThe imposition of a mask is not oppression. We're losing a town the size of Parma Idaho every day on average in America, yesterday alone 3,053 people died. The mask mob mafia are misguided and they should be ashamed of how they are acting. Do unto others..., I am my brother's keeper, Be kind, Be best; all out the window like the baby with the bath water. Today in America you're more likely to die from a health condition that pre-pandemic you would have survived only because these non-maskers, non-believers are now plugging and over burdening our healthcare systems. Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units are filled throughout the United States to capacity and these guys literally are acting like a 5 year old that won't eat their vegetables. Since the days of Adam and Eve being tossed from the garden more than 99% of us leave our house every day with clothes on, it's a societal norm. A mask is a societal norm during a time of a worldwide pandemic, nothing more. Just like you wear a coat in the winter and shorts in the summer we wear a mask in a pandemic, no big deal. This mob of people who sat in their comfy chairs with disdain in their hearts watching Fox News criticizing the BLM protests as an unruly mob have turned into what they themselves loathed. BLM protested the death of black men and women at the hands of police. The mask mob mafia is protesting wearing a piece of cloth over your face. If it was found that wearing a mask hurt you or injured you it's possible I might have a little bit of compassion for this fight but the simple facts are masks do not harm people. So apparently we've turned into a nation of fragile and selfish people that can't be imposed upon even for the good of the nation but instead want to feign oppression where there is none. Their actions are suspect and they need to grow the fuck up.

1 pointthank you SgtSaunders. most research i had said the colors were the same as the USAF vietnam era colors, with the bottom being FS36622 Camo Gray. r but i agree, it seemed abit too brown in comparison when i used the hex value for that color. so a light shade of blue over the original color but not replacing the original. it isnt this blue

1 pointdaddyairplanes The yellow ribbons were used during the conflict in the South Atlantic (Malvinas-Falklands War) 1982 was to distinguish the planes against the enemies, very similar to what their use in WW2 Operation Overlord the aircraft had the ribbons painted black on the wings and tails. With respect to the C-130 you need to change the color of the belly to light blue, excellent work on the skin

1 pointAfter a few years in which i have been kind of busy, having now put my life in order (more or less) i can spend more time on the hobby, which i've been missing. So hi to all the Old Guard, and nice to see all the new ones. What's new on the game? I had presumed it more or less dead, but after getting the complete edition, i saw there is an update expected for Win 10. Anything on what is planned or expected?
