March 10Mar 10 Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
March 11Mar 11 Finally! I'm still on a semi-enforced lay-off from simming after moving house (priorities!), but when I set things up again, this is a must buy. My maternal grandfather served in 109 Squadron (hence my username & avatar), so it's wonderful to finally see the B aircraft get some love, with the real word only seemingly interested in building FBVI replicas. AH's livery panel is a little messed up though. They correctly label F fro Freddie as 'HS-F' but label the 105 Sqn plane as 'A-GB' when it should be GB-A, as the dual letters of course refer to the squadron, with the single letter referring to the individual aircraft. If they'd used the starboard side view for the templates, it would have made more sense as all the aircraft would then be 'Sqn-Aircraft'. I hope the bomb bay doors are customizable, because the video shows a B.IV with two circular windows in them. Those are ports for photo reconnaissance (PR.) marques, not the bombers. Plus, there needs to be the option to blackout the bomb-aimer's window. Probably minor points to most people but they irk me!😉 Edited March 11Mar 11 by 109Sqn OS: Win11 Home; Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4; CPU: Intel i5-12400 (Alder Lake) 4.4 GHzRAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64Gb (4x16GB) 3600 MHz; GPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700XT [8GB] SSD: Corsair Force MP510 (for OS); 2x 1TB & 1x 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 (one for sim, two for addons)HDD: Seagate 3TB (Data); Seagate 1TB (Programs), ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B Curved 31.5" monitor, 1440p, 38Mbs ethernet Fulcrum One Yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle, Thrustmaster Airbus TCA sidestick & throttle, Logitech Pro pedals, Xbox wireless gamepad (1st gen)
