Re: Suggestions for a new VR Headset?

Folks that have bought the G2 may be selling their Index, which is still very capable.

Re: Suggestions for a new VR Headset?

Those that have the G2 enthuse about it, but it comes at the cost of the hardware that you’ll need to be able to run it.

I have the Index and am happy to stick with it until the next generation of headsets, but if I were to buy now I’d go with the G2.

You’ll need a 30XX card to run it though.

But try hosting from your game rather than Dserver. Much easier.

One thing though. I don't seem to have access to all boards in this forum, e.g. Lounge. Do I need to complete some sort of initiation ceremony first?
Should be ok now.

Check up on the SRS stuff and if possible come on tonight so we can get you set up.

Re: Sgt Fodder leaves Sutton Bridge

Only going by the first post where Merlin said Well he is - he's a lucky chap! Congratulations F/Sgt. Fodder on completing OTU. You are posted to B flight No 1 Squadron RAF with code letter "G". Please attend at least 30 minutes before ops so we can check that all systems are operational and your r...

Re: Sgt Brandy leaves Sutton Bridge

And I'm very sorry about this, but you'll have to go to No601. At least you'll be an "ace in a flight" every mission with their claims. Just remember that anything you shoot at counts as a kill, even clouds, and even if you do not hit it.

Your squadron code will be "B".

Good luck!

Re: Welcome Guests.

Ooooh a quiz. Sparky would never get the answer because he's rubbish at quizzes. I'll go with Luxembourg, which for those who have never been there, is a beautiful place. A lot who join have never flown in a squadron before, but often formation flying is probably the only thing they need to learn. T...

...especially as I won the quiz. Since I scored best on the aircraft portion of the quiz (17 to your 14) and you only qualified for the final faceoff with "Is this word an Ikea furniture or Swedish town" questions and won with a vegetable-based question I think you stole my kill.

Forum rules

Forum rules These rules do not just govern us on the forum but also when we are on comms: No politics – we all have our own political leanings or beliefs and airing them can just lead to arguments. In a 1940s RAF squadron politics would have been frowned upon too. No swearing – you don’t know who m...

Who we are

Who we are Why fly a WW2 flight simulator? Why join a fighter squadron of the 1940s? If the answer is because you are interested in all things WW2, especially military aviation, then you have come to the right place.
