Likewise sir - quite a bit of commonality. 🙂

Thank you! Due to psoriatic arthritis, I fight with zero mobility of wrists (left wrist is like a stick from elbow to knuckle), so playing is a real 'challenge'.😆 This rendition of Time In A Bottle was BEFORE I lopped-off the top joint of my left thumb in 2022.... Currently working on McCartney's 'Blackbird'. If I can get it acceptable I'll upload. Post thumb-chop is this one (Norwegian Wood).. ua-cam.com/video/8FXX9BDLLdo/v-deo.html

No worries. Nice that you were there. Hope you can fix it. 🙂👍

Thanks

You're very welcome sir. The reason that I have the text-to-voice on the chat is that I also would miss lots of messages without it. Maybe they just aren't noticing your comments because they had no audible warning of it...? 🙂

Hi Son.

Hi!

When’s your next stream?

@@Son_Goku-140 It'll be on Fri 24May. We usually start around 22:30 (UK time), and finish around 02:30. Same on Saturdays.

😆 My longest stream was about 11 hrs, & I regularly streamed for over 6 hrs. 😜 We now keep ourselves back to closing at about 02:00 (after a roughly 22:30 start).

......yeah I need to change that, so thx for the reminder 👍😆. WT is a good game, but 'Flight sim' really just refers to DCS. I don't really do WT any more, just DCS (tho' I'm pretty shallow - I just fly mainly by seat of pants & enjoy..).

Rgr that.

Thank you sir 🙂 (tho 'lad' might not be a fully accurate description. 🤣🤣) Hope you'll join me another time. ☺👍 TTFN

I guess you like flight-simming. :)

Not sure I could agree there. Maybe some time ago, but IMHO WT outgrew itself when it added all the various vehicle types & nations. It spread the player base too much and made unrealistic aircraft combinations in battle. I believe they also unrealistically nerfed various aircraft to 'even up the field'. But it's great for those who accept all that - or those who wand to fly arcade mode. For me, DCS definitely wins - even as a game.

Hi tiitus....Thx for question. It's just a case of practicality. This is not just my flying station, it's also my workstation. Having them bolted together, as I have, means that I can slide the whole setup out of the way, in one go, easily. Also, being bolted together makes the whole thing significantly heavier - so it's less inclined to slide about on the desk. 👍

@@bill1949wt oh that makes sense

@@tiitustepponen9849 I made my own brackets to bolt the 2 together. Hope you get chance to hop onto my live-stream sometime. 🙂👍 I fly with Laxxor, & maybe others, on Fri & Sat evenings, usually from about 22:30 thru' to 02:30 (UK time). 🙂

Did you hit the bell for notifications?😆Never mind - we usually fly Fri & Sat nights (from about 22:30 to 02:30 UK time).

Hi. Thx for responding. I'm certainly no expert, but I'd definitely say go for pedals that DO HAVE toe-brakes. The Spit doesn't have toe-brakes, but MANY do - it's more the norm to have toe-brakes. The Spit and the Mosquito are the only 2 that I use in DCS that don't have toe-brakes. As my vid shows, the P51 has toe-brakes, as does the P47, the BF109 and the jets that I fly. Toe-brakes are the norm. I have CH Pro pedals, which DO have toe-brakes. In UK, they'll be £100-£120. www.scan.co.uk/products/ch-pro-pedals-usb-3-axis-of-control-plus-axis-locking-for-racing-gas-brake Wishing you well with that.

Thank you. Nothing specific, just some fairly casual DCS.🙂

Hi Czt. Highest BR is 7.7 (Vampire FB 5) - but only because I don't have interest in the jets - I like the piston-engine fighters. I fly almost exclusively in Brit, and about 95% of my flying time is in a Spit or a Hurricane (so I guess most viewers of my stream will probably find that boring...). I have all aircraft Ranks I to V fully open, so I think I have given the jets a fair try - but I have little to no interest in Rank V & above, even tho' (as you've highlighted) I could afford them. I also fly in DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) which is a TRUE flight-sim (whereas WT is more of a great game - tho' not as good as it used to be). Also fly in MS FS2020 (another TRUE flight-sim). Maybe catch you on my next live-stream...

You are so VERY welcome Robin. :)

Ah - I now see why comments were off. As it's only music, I set it as 'Made for kids' - that seems to turn off comments..... It's now set to 'Not for kids' so comments are on. Many thx for those kind words sir. :) I REALLY do hope it'll bring you back to playing - that would be an unexpected MAJOR win from uploading that progress report. Having first returned to guitar in Jun last year, recently I hadn't picked it up for about 3 months - then I was prompted to do Time In A Bottle.... so I re-started with guitar a week or so ago (causing painful finger-tips after just a 3-mth break..... ) Just for fun... my cover of Beatles - There's A Place (just me doing all instrument & vocal parts, with N°3 son on drums :) ) drive.google.com/file/d/1DPrAtbV6bp7xeY5PoJat_Gof-7cXmgGi/view?usp=sharing

..and hey - how about this one.. ua-cam.com/video/1cb5xYlGKSc/v-deo.html

Covid banter, General? - You mean from 'Undead'..?

I use the arrow keys to left of the number pad :) .

Cheers

Thank you sir!! Have to confess tho' that I'm really just a do-er, not really a viewer.... Like with music - I'm not too much of a listener. If I like it, I don't wanna just listen - I wanna DO.. :)

Hit J, three times. :)

@@bill1949wt thank you

Thx Blue Cap - glad you enjoy - I also live-stream of course. .....AND I fly in DCS too... :) ..and sometimes in MSFS2020. I am REALLY not after subs (I do this cos I enjoy and I'm not interested in monetising) - but if you sub & hit the bell, you'll know when I'm live-streaming. :)

...and if you drop comments I'll respond with voice.

Thx Luke - I'd now like this Aerodrome in the MSFS2020 flight sim.....

@@bill1949wt i think u can import bob usable for msfe but the aerodrome im not sure but hopefully you'll find a scenery for it or orbx makes one

@@fulcrum_9162 Thx - maybe I'll look into that (Bob) - & yep, I hope ORBX will create Stapleford same as for FSX but for MSFS. Thx for interest. :)

Hi KK. DCS @ 1hr 27min

@@bill1949wt hi Bill.! How did you know it was me?

@@bill1949wt I'm using voice attack with Star Wars squadrons. So I can talk to R2D2. its great. I bought it

@@generalpurpose6517 Helmet Of Glory. "Because without my helmet - I'm like THIS!!" lmbo

@@generalpurpose6517 Yeah - VA is excellent, tho' sometimes temperamental.... If mic is too loud, it can freak out & sulk....

Walter. Thank you - what a nicely comprehensive & informative & well-written comment. It was a pleasure to read :) - not least because you said "....I've been in a real funk for quite a while. " - and tho' across the pond I'm not absolutely sure what that means, I think it means that you were 'in a bad place' for a while (&, boy, do I understand that sir) - but your style & content in this comment very clearly shows that you are now out of that bad place - and that is REALLY good to know mate. I really want you to get that Spit so that we can compare notes - me from flying virtually (apart from a couple of fun lessons) and you from your flying experiences IRL. Hopefully the new Corsair memory will sort out the issues you've been having in DCS. Thanks for those very kind words re 'If' - coming from yourself as such an accomplished player, they mean a lot to me sir. I still fight the totally inflexible left wrist, and I always will (it's not going to reverse to any measurable degree) - but I'll continue to keep at it as long as I can find suitable pieces that I like (liking then can be a MAJOR part of the battle). I REALLY enjoy playing 'If', and the voice is very GRADUALLY returning after its 15yr break since the band...... I first picked up 6-string in about '62, then started using bass in mid-70s, but still played 6-string during that time - then in '83 I fully swapped to bass for the band & only then picked up 6-string again in about Aug of this year (as a necessary additional 'diversion'.....). I'm particularly glad that you liked 'If', 'cos that song and my own attempt at it has a couple of VERY special and powerful meanings for me (eg - see the inset pic on that vid....) - not just a song..... Again - thanks for your reference to 'Talent'. It's also very true tho' that 'Talent' goes totally hand-in-hand with desire - and, for a couple of reasons, I had the desire to get back to playing. (Did you ever get to my OneDrive to listen to some of our live band recordings etc - & did you get to watch the Tribute to Mu...? If not, I'll ping you a couple of links. If you'd like to friend me on FB I can ping you links on a PM.) Take care mate - good to see (& almost feel) that you are now in a good place. 'Happy holidays' - and tho' I'm not religious in any way, to quote late comedian Dave Allen - "May your God go with you.".

Hi Billy. I wouldn't say more sensitive - but way more realistic - but then, I don't fly a Cessna in WT :) . In this, the Cessna 152 is so easy, and a joy to fly (& it's free!). This sim is gonna cost me just £1 (just 1) to try it for a month, then £3.99 for subsequent months - unless I buy it outright for £60 (& I suspect I will). If considering it, you'll need at least 127GB of space.... No combat, but I really DO like it & recommend it! Might well stream it again 2nite (but I had a pretty late night with it last night.... :) ).
