Not sure if anybody is still around here flying DCS:World, but if so, the folks over at Mudspike are having a fly-in this weekend. We had a blast the last go-round, and are looking at some bigger missions to take place the next couple of days. http://www.mudspike.com/mudspike-dcs-world-fly-in-april-16-17/ The site was started and run by a trio of former moderators and writers from SimHQ, and most of us serious folks from there who'd rather fly than bitch about the state of the game have migrated over. Great bunch to fly with if anybody's interested.

Just making sure all of you are aware. Installing now.

Anybody else playing this one? I've been spending an embarrassing number of hours in this one the last few weeks.

When I get home in a few days, I'll set up to start livestreaming my playthroughs too- most of the biggest appeal is the open-ended nature, and the incredibly massive size of the galaxy.

Anybody else playing here? I picked it up during beta, but my internet connection has gone to shit, so I can't play online for a while without lagging into next week. Commander name is Nuke Dukem if anybody wants to add me on a friends list- soon as I get this ISP thing figured out, I should be on fairly often.

I'll have some free time starting in a few weeks... I downloaded Kali a while ago, but I haven't messed around with it at all yet. I'll start looking around and seeing what I can figure out once the semester is done.

A few more shots- I'll apologize in advance, but I couldn't help myself as soon as I saw this skin:

I don't know much about the GeForce video cards, but the SSD is fairly new, and I'm not seeing a lot of reviews yet for it. On newegg, the OCZ SSD has only three reviews, but 4 eggs total. When it comes to the solid state drives, I'm of the personal opinion that you don't want to skimp on the quality of the hardware for price. But I also believe that about video cards too.

You're right, Terremer. I didn't realize that some of my settings (cockpit resolution, shadows) had been dialed down. Still optimizing. And here's a shot of my first landing in the Fishbed. Almost as bad as my landings in a Falcon:

I'm still flying (learning) BMS too- and digging all the pics you've been posting up on Facebook. There's already a developer's note out about some of the visual issues- but I've also had my video card acting funny the last few weeks anyway, so it may be time to upgrade to an R9. I think that a lot of it also has to do with waiting for EDGE, whenever that's going to happen.

A couple more shots: Somehow, I managed to get airborne. And you can't climb into a MiG-21 and not want to do this...

I only had a few minutes to start her up, take off, and fly around a little bit- classes tomorrow morning. It's gonna take a while to learn this beast! So. Many. Switches. Your's truly in the foreground.
