So here is a quick video of what Climber has been up to.

I've been keeping an eye on the DCS software and what they were offering. The A-10 has always seemed cool and several times I've been tempted but didn't want to invest the money and time into learning the complexities of the weapons systems.

Then I saw their F-86! Now here is a beautiful jet with lots of options but not the uber-tech of the A-10 (and other DCS aircraft).

I'm still learning to handle the Saber and have yet to get a solid kill on anything but looking forward to learning more.

Check out the video (spoiler alert: Climber gets his butt handed to him by both an AA battery and a Mig 15).

Let me know your thoughts..

Cool Climber.

How about doing a Preflight and run through the check list for flight.

Do it with a audio description of Key Board and Mouse Strokes so if others, Like Me. Can review the check list and start to fly.

I still need to do a preflight check for ya Tunes as well as some descriptions as to what I have mapped to my joystick and what needs mapped and what doesn't .

They just did an update (this aircraft is still in beta phase for now and will have more enhancements to come) that changed some of the startup procedures. For example you can't rush the startup. If you come on the power too soon you flood the engine and have to start over (just like the real thing).

Here is a video that I did last night using a mission that I built (the mission editor is super cool). There aren't many vehicles that I can choose from the same era as the Sabre but I substitute B-52's for the big stick bombers of the time and P-51's which were used in Korea I have flying in place of A-1 Skyraiders. The Mig-15's however are correct for the era and are a handful.

I hope ya'll like this video even though I end up in the silk...again... I've learned to do some editing for my videos to keep the time down.
