I'm giving Brave a go at the moment, lots of very easy to use and seemingly effective ad/script blocking built into it - no complaints so far in the last two weeks or so. (Link)

Kinda wonder how much longer Naval birds would last if they only did that ashore during FCLP.

I suspect they either intend to use them or treat them as spare parts much as they did with the UK's Harriers.

TBH I think it looks kinda fugly, bit like a slimed down XF-32.

Makes two of us, really wasn't a fan back when it was just known as the EFA but its grown on me over the years.

Was thinking the same, didn't they spend about 5 years rebuilding one after a wheels-up landing? Returned to service about a year or so back.

Dodged it for two years WFH, I was back in the office for a whole 6 days over a two week period... got it. Nothing much to report though, double vaxed and boosted, was no worse for me than a bad cold, some not so lucky and the plan now seems to be lets just pretend it's gone away.

Controlability issues maybe? Seems to be damage to blades on both upper and lower rotors.

I knew things were pretty dire for the German armed forces but F-me...

UK F-35B down Operating from HMS QE in the med, pilot got out.

Bloody lucky he was snagged by the deck and didn't end up in the water, he would have likely either been hit by the hull or sucked into the screws.

Kinda wondering how the RN were getting on with theirs... (just a thought) Btw, in the UK there's no suffix applied after the unit number, so it would just be "1 Squadron", "9 Squadron" and "16 Squadron".

So Japan just rejoined the Carrier club: Izumo 1st F-35B landing/launch

Given that both Sweden and Italy are already involved...

This is the only way this shit show was ever going to end, was more a case of "when" than it was "if".

Don't bother... it's a spaghetti coded bugfest that will drain your will to live... starting now it would take months to get to things like the Phantom, it's just not worth the time or effort. Low/Mid Tier stuff can be fun, if for no other reason than it allows to blow off some steam vs other players rather than AI... just a pity MP got axed from the TW series.... WT is a very poor substitute for what could have been.

Yeah, not really expecting to see it actually built until some point in the summer unfortunately. Just hoping te current machine lasts that long as I've been putting this off longer than i really should have.

Hi guys, just looking for some last minute advice before I hit the order button on this: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X GPU: nVidia GeForce MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 3080 PSU: Kolink Continuum 850W RAM: 64GB Corsair DDR4 3000MHz C16 (2x 32GB) Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R Drive: Samsung 1TB 980 PCI-E 4.0 X4 NVMe (already have several external drives available if additional storage required) My thoughts/concerns at this point: For the CPU I gather there are better value options when looked at from a cost per core perspective, not sure though I'd be making a noticeable gain in MSFS (or DCS for that matter) by upgrading further? On cooling I'm debating whether to go with the 360R over the 240R - its going to be my first venture into liquid cooling, not so sure I's going to make much of a difference tbh. Planning to run MSFS and DCS on this build, likely very little else. Don't really plan on VR initially though I do want it to be an option down the road.

The Harrier GR7/9 (& AV-8B), Jaguar GR.3 and Tornado F.3 used the same stick as the Hornet.

Fascinating Documentary

How about a Fairy Gannet? Pretty sure we don't have one yet.

So technically the replacement for the F-22* is an F-15... who could have called that back in the 90's? *The ones that were never built.

I knew about the EXINT pods, as in I was aware of the design... didn't realise they'd actually been built, had mentally written it off as a paper project.
