In my list I do not believe there are any demos. I've just been looking at gameplay footage on youtube for most of them.

What's going on with Epic? I just got their service only because it has a free copy of Farming Simulator 19 yes I play that game to kill time when I don't feel like setting up my HOTAS. To answer question. Rebel Galaxy 1 is what I have, and love, and Rebel Galaxy 2 is something I'm wanting to purchase when I can because it looks awesome. Oh and I have modded FS17 to have aircraft in it soo I still do some flying there anyway ... just not with the HOTAS.

Star Wolves looks interesting I have Rebel Galaxy love that game. That's a solid list. Thank you for that!

I still have my copy of StarLancer and Freelancer. Old school games are pretty cool too because they're so immersive

Hey guys, DCS, and SF2 are great and I've been looking into some nice sci fi sims but can't find anything right now. Rebel Galaxy is awesome and Elite Dangerous looks pretty neat but MMOs are an immediate turn off for me. I'm so damn tired that everything falls into the Survival, Construction, MMO, or PvP type niche. Star Citizen looks nice but I hear it will never get finished. Space Bourne looks interesting but the devs are cutting some content they were to be making so I don't know. In my search I did get a free copy of Farming Simulator 19 tho. X-Rebirth and X3 sounded great but it's like I fly and interact with menus a lot. X-Reberth kind of ... well I don't see how it's possible to stand on top of a capital class ship, in open space, and have a conversation with no protective equipment on. Space Bourne looks epic. Still in early access mode however dev is cutting capital ships and other features it seems. But you can build an army (but not a fleet I think) Rebel Galaxy (My thing I love this game) slugging it out with dreadnaughts X-rebirth mixed reviews, not so friendly community according to some reports, I haven't played it long enough honestly but first looks were super meh Empryon ... to me it's like legos in Space. Looks awesome, can be very fun if survival things are for you, lot of promise and the devs are really active with the community. And you can fly from the planets to space and vise versa so that's something that's neat. Then I found Evorchron Legacy. Looks amazing and what's even more amazing it made a single developer. So kudos to that guy. 3 hour tutorial according to reports but it's also said to be well worth it. You can build, trade, etc and explore. So that's what I found so far. I'd like to have a game where you can get a carrier. Develop a highly trained, motivated, and skilled military to wreck some stuff and take sectors over. And not just interacting with the world but being immersed with it to some degree. Anyway like I said that's what I found so far. What are some sci fi games you're into? Oh and if you're into farming: Epic games has farming Simulator 19 for free ($25 USD value) ... yeah it's farming but I usually take offers on free games.

You may have to use the mods here to solve your aircraft needs. Back in the day Column5 had massive packs of aircraft available to use ... I mean huge amounts of aircraft. The mod developers here and the mod developing teams are amazing people that have spent considerable (and I do mean considerable) amounts of time, effort, and money into providing these models. It's the modding community that keeps SF2 alive. SF2 is straight up fun too. Like you said DCS costs a lot and honestly DCS and SF2 are worth it if you like flight sims. I have DCS A-10, and UH-1 while it's bit of a shock to hop into SF2 it's nice that I don't have fight physics as much and too a lot of technical things when I'm just wanting to chill out and do a little dog fighting or strike runs. Or check out the A-6 mods here if you like

Yeah man. We've been discussing this topic for years... people have tried, tired, and tried again. One person was able to rig something back in the WOE days. With rearming, refueling, and all that. I think the files got lost over time or something. Yeah we've tried a lot of things with the SF series. Some even developed a bomb sight for heavies ... and I can still hear Wrench say "leave the bombing to the AI" :) DCS is on top of things that's for sure. However SF series will always have a special place in my heart. I don't care how bad the graphics are or how limited the engine is. SF series is still a good series.

So what goes into switching from VFR to SVFR and IFR? What's the hassle with IFR? From my understanding if your eyes can't see then rely on your instruments and avionics to see the things you can't.

Looking at this ... is the graph indicating the pilot was trying to pull up prior to the crash?

Other information I'm coming across is saying they think it's the weather that played a role in the crash.

@jeanba I agree. I think they did good making a serious movie funny and then modernized it for the 80s. It also causes a lot of the Airplane to make more sense to me as well.

My condolences man. That's horrible. Like the others said I hope you have some kind of information that can be used to reclaim your property should it turn up at a Pawn Shop. I can imagine what kind of hell that would be trying to recover your property from one.

Nothing like the weather alert dude telling me about Turkey's future weapons.

F-16s for sale. Slight water damage.

This is when CombatACE starts to shine during moments like these. We have the press running passing incomplete reports, people Tweeting a fraction of those reports. CombatACE has some very knowledgeable veterans that's been there and done that, they can talk the talk because they've walked the walk. I can't wait to see these folks start weighing in on this subject.

This image was posted on Reddit Someone else linked another report which is the reference for the above report. In case you're into reading such reports: http://www.climateinstitute.org.au/verve/_resources/fullreportbushfire.pdf I didn't read it all. However it's a report published in September 2007 that, as you see in the image above, observed patterns and projected the situation they're dealing with now to happen between 2020-2050.

Call me an idiot .. because I am. Anyway here's my question. If the STOBAR system means your aircraft will have limited range and lighter payloads, why use it? I understand that cost wise STOBAR systems are cheaper. Better to save money when and where you can. On the other hand tho why not use the CATOBAR system? Yeah it's more costly but don't the advantages out weigh the cost in the end? Or do their engines not have the power to generate what's needed to run the CATOBAR system? What gets me is that I remember hearing reports on the news about China becoming the tech capital of the world ... so one would think they'd be using the new electromagnetic systems.

Saw this on Imgur and I have no idea as to what is going on other than there was double engine flame out. https://imgur.com/gallery/1O1NFLG

Hey Guys, I was watching TV and got annoyed at all of these medication commercials and class action announcements that were suing them. So I wrote a parody medication commercial.The medication is called Fxidan and it's the medication people have been waiting for. Because I'm just silly, I have the medication being sued as they're trying to pitch their product. I think things turned out great and, if you a have few minutes, I think you might enjoy this "short movie" as well. I look forward to knowing your thoughts. On a side note this is the first time I edited two people interacting with each other and believe it or not my love for audio editing started right here at CombatACE with some projects we worked on in the past.

I wonder how that would've impacted the war had that made into production in time.

That's a good video. I was surprised with how maneuverable the C-130 and Osprey are. I mean I see C-130s fly overhead everyday and for some reason I just had it stuck in my head that it's a big slow gentle giant (until you put a 105mm Howitzer in it's port side then it becomes deadly giant.)

I'm just here hoping they won't fuck this up. Don't get me wrong you know I want to see this movie. I'm just not wanting to get overly hyped up is all.

I cut my cable off and run antenna TV I keep forgetting to check their websites.

So I heard that Russia's only aircraft carrier is caught on fire today... So is this something you put out, patch up and move on with, or just say screw it, and build a new one?
