Simulation
I've been big into computer simulation games since I was a kid. Some of my favorites from back then are Mechwarrior 2, SU-27 Flanker, A-10 Tank Killer, F-22 Raptor, Comanche 3, Fury3, Delta Force, MS Flight Sim, Wing Commander, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Freelancer, Janes ATF, Rainbow Six, Need For Speed 2, Al Unser Jr Arcade Racer, Oregon Trail 2, Earth and Starsiege, Odell Down Under, Heavy Gear, and the Maxis Sim games.
Lately, I have rediscovered my passion for flight simulators, especially combat flight simulators. I am getting fully immersed and absorbed into DCS World, one of the most realistic and complex of the modern flight simulators, exceeded by few (Falcon 4.0 BMS has more complex systems but is much older and focuses only on the F-16).
I would love to make a group of friends that's into flight sims that I could fly online with. DCS has some amazing sounding Cold War-era servers with dynamic campaigns.
Chill flight in the A-4E
A chill DCS flight video in the A-4E while I enjoy some mushroom tea, smoke some cannabis, and blast The Mad Capsule Markets. Running a late evening flight to Mt Erebus and up along the coast. Low clouds make the valleys a little treacherous but we take it easy.
Chill flight in the SU-27

I follow my nav plan from Batumi to Veslan through valleys and beautiful scenery while listening to an album someone made and gave to me as my imagination runs wild. I was reminded of animes I enjoyed as a teenager and young adult; vision of the Gekkostate Lifters and their mechs surfing the skies. My passion for the SU-27 is deeply rooted, stemming from the days of playing SU-27 Flanker as a child in '95, marking the inception of my admiration for Eagle Dynamics and their remarkable games.
Chill flight in the SU-27
Here's my first try at making these DCS chill flight videos. I chose soe CIRC songs for this one. Her up beat music and post 9/11 lyrics fit well I feel.
I'm also making my own Cancerslug themed SU-27 texture!
My Gear... At the moment.
I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick for the time being. However I plan to either go with a Gladiator NXT EVO, a Thrustmaster Warthog, or a Virpil WarBRD setup. But it may take a while to procure.
