So many of you know Ive been gone for the last few years since I graduated college and moved on to better things(...), and haven't had the time to log in here but a few times every month or so. I still have a busy schedule, but I just built my new gaming computer again. Its a nice little system, and its done me well so far. I still work at Lockheed Martin, though I think that job has pretty much run its course, and its time for me to move on...in due time. ANYWAYS!

I have my flight simulation catalog updated, and I can honestly say that ED has come a long way since Black Shark was released. I still think there are more things they could do better, but to keep the bullships in the harbor and not sinking at sea, Ill just leave it at that. With that said, I got out the credit card and started updating my simulators. Jesus...since when did ED go the route Microsoft took updating Vista (hello Windows 7)and make future patch updates payware? So like a dumbass, I forked over 90 bucks to ED for a whole slew of simulators, and WELL WORTH THE MONEY. Still not a fanboi, but I haven't had this much fun with a flight sim since I discovered FSX! How many flight sims do I have now?

DCS A-10C, LockOn Flaming Cliffs (1 & 2), Black Shark (1 & 2), DCS Mustang, F4AF, X Plane 9, FSX...I should have just got my pilots license instead! :icon_banghead:

Todays adventures: Su-25T demo, DCS World


DCS Mustang


LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2
This one is in the works...will post when I get the chance, but youtube wont let me upload it due to its length.

And latest news: DCS new simulator title is RELEASED!

The DCS: P-51D Mustang offers both highly-detailed simulation and easy-to-play "game" mode options for both hardcore and casual gamers. When in simulation mode, this is the most authentic simulation of the P-51D Mustang that has ever been done for the PC. Enjoy both the thrill of flying this warbird and operating its various weapons against a variety of ground and airborne targets.

how to set up and configure FSX

Why FSX ? I only started flying FSX in 2008 because I never quite could see the point of a civilian flight sim where one can´t blow up things or shoot down other aircraft. Unlike Microsoft new game FLIGHT which is about dumbing down a flight sim as a way to attract new players , FSX is about giving us who aren´t pilots the opportunity to share the joy that is flying in real life.

What can deter you from giving FSX a try is the fact that it is not exactly an out of the box ready to fly sim, this is a guide on how to set FSX up and what to buy or download - to read it, click on the image bellow.

Our latest poll results

Last Month we ran a poll about ED new DCS Flying legends module and the idea of selling user created Mods, both did not quite meet the approval that was expected specially the choice of the first module of DCS Flying Legends.

It is only natural that most people don't like the idea of out of a sudden paying for Mods - hopefully our community mod makers will know when and how much to ask for their mods so that we will continue to enjoy their work.

In my opinion that the idea of selling Mods is to allow for 3rd party modules to be created for Eagle Dynamics products - the only drawback of this is the time that it will take for these mods to be released, some seem to take forever to be finished.

As for Eagle Dynamics idea of releasing the P-51D Mustang - in my opinion all depends on how much ED is willing to spend in creating a new world for us to fly in. For those wondering why it was chosen instead of a more contemporary aircraft, the answer is simple : the P-51D was an internal demo that ED decided to release.
