A-10's only or can people turn up with their Ka-50's and Su-25's?

As long it flies and turns into a ball of fire when trying to land it you're welcome.

Flyables are mission specific, but I think Arc got a mission with all of them flyable.

Well I have Black Shark 2 and DCS World, but flying and using the weapons on the SU-25 is difficult, as everytime I try to watch the tutorials the game crashes. So flying the Ka-50 will become my speciality, until I buy the A-10.

When do you guys usually fly, or at least usually use to fly?

Thursdays normally, 21:00GMT, but maybe that needs to be changed. At least for the past 3-4 months it's been deserted and before that it was really only Herr B. and me.

And what you do or don't in there, no one really cares. There's a target range with trucks waiting to be toasted, a "light" objective and a more involved one. I plan to add more light ones, since they can be completed by a single aircraft.

Suppose I'll update this one soon with the new mission, and post notes about server coming up, Thursday or not. Generally will be between 21:00-22:00GMT.

Well, in absense of something to do that doesn't involve a scroll wheel, and since Hunter is distracted with Railworks I guess we can do a bit more DCS for the next couple of nights if that's good with everyone. Arc has a mission with all the current flyables in IIRC (Frog, Shark, Hog and Mustang) so there's something for everyone. It'll give me some practice at shooting things that aren't shooting back too.

Well...Trains...you know.

but that's a minor distraction if you compare it to the arrival of the new system this weekend
After that you should get your damn mouse replaced so we can continue doing what we always do, that's to do bugger all

There appears to be fix for the crashing videos:
