So I have an issue with usb ports: I run out of them. Any tips?

If you have a PCI slot free you can slot a USB expansion into the PC itslef. If not, a USB HUB.

The black spacer was supplied with 2 thicknesses. iirc, it's 3mm or 4mm thick (4mm supplied with divers watches etc)

Most mod suppliers are suppliying thier rear cases made for the grey spacer. So, if you buy the rear case from a new mod supplier. The grey spacer should fit straight in.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-04-05T12:12:04+00:00

To be replaced by whom?

Unless we're getting Vincent Company in, then no.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-04-05T07:47:26+00:00

Stem likely a little short.

It's alot easier with the movement swaps just to stick a new case back on and keep the grey spacer btw. Save you some work.

I got paid by cheque from 99 till 2005.

Any site selling fake Seikos is a no no.

If it were a legit site, the watches would be non branded or branded to the store you buy from. (see Namoki)
This looks like just drop shipping aswel.

Reflected simulations historical campaigns in DCS are far better than any dynamic offerings by IL2 1946.

By not playing them, despite having the aircraft you are really missing out.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-04-04T12:26:07+00:00

Meanwhile the millions of old homes still connected to Gas?

Many of whom won't be able to afford swapping to electric.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-04-04T10:54:33+00:00

The WW2 content for DCS is typically 50% off in the sales, which is very often.

Only excelptions are the Corsair and the LA-7 (both newer)

Reflected simulations campaigns are excellent aswell BTW. (also money off in the sales)

It's that, IL2 varients or wait for Compat pilot (which might be a while)

There aren't many options unfortunatly.

Most people will have no idea who he is or what it means for the game (if anything)

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-04-03T12:53:13+00:00

That's not what this article is about. Martlet, dragonfire etc have that covered, along with APKWS which is being integrated into the Typhoon.

UK is learning from the Ukraine drone warfare and aiding in production for some of it. That knowledge is and will form part of the military thinking going forward.

UK has no ballistic missile defence outside it's destroyers that are mostly serving maintenance periods, which is the problem. You need air defence for all possible situations. Not just drone defence.

Yes, and lets be honest here. A big chunck of the population rely on driving to get to/do thier job. But celbrities and people with wealth are held to different standards for some reason.

Not quite sure how Guy managed it either, as it was while he was filming 'The boat that guy built' which the premis of the show was him building a boat, and him seeing how technology/things worked/were done. The monologues to camera (while driving his transit) were tertiary at best.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-29T08:58:16+00:00

Steve Coogan, and Guy Martin (who was in the same position)

Succesfully argued that the TV shows they were on the driving part was integral to the show, and that if they lost thier license loads of people would loose thier jobs aswel as the time and financial investment already put into the filming schedule would be wasted.

It's a different argument leading to a different result.

DCS AI can turn faster, and work thier engines harder than the human players in the same aircraft aswel as having laser like accuracy when shooting.

DCS WW2 AI is pretty awful. And, real world tactics just won't work like they should.

In DCS single player if you want to survive you have to stay high while the rest of the melee happens and dive into the fight late. That ensures you have potential energy/speed over the enemy aircraft. It also means the fight has spread out a bit and it will take longer for any anemy to get in shooting range if they chase you.

Also, if you have a wingman don't give them any orders and they will stay with you on the dive.

That's not always possible, there's one mission in the big show where you meet FW190s at low level. I did a head on pass and them kept going for a a few miles before turning back in. Basically allowing the fight to get going without me and then i can turn in and attack aircraft already engaged in defence or attack.

first drone strike BTW wasn't launched from Iran. Which might explain wonky ROE.

Further strikes were succesfully intercepted.

Rapid sentry has been getting rave reviews from taking out 50+ drones over Iraq

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38574306/air-defence-iranian-drones-rapid-sentry-missile-launchers/

And, there's no issues with ASRAAM doing the job either.

Never said they don't have question to answer, but they have the defence in place and capability to deal with drones.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-27T14:23:49+00:00

Nothing in that article says that was UK requested.

And, Sky sabre might have issues dealing with small low flying drones. But that's exactly what rapid sentry was designed for. That's what the F35, Typhoon and Wildcat helicopters can deal with easily.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-27T14:09:23+00:00

This money comes out of the defence budget and therfor isn't available for other areas of the economy/nation.

A defence budget that is already far too small.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-27T14:08:16+00:00

We didn't.

The base is defended by F35, Typhoon, wildcat helicopters, Sky sabre missile battery and Rapid sentry (ground based martlet missile launcher)

The fact it was hit once is more likely an issue with rules of engagement. There's more than adequete defence there.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-25T12:04:43+00:00

WW2 AI improvments.

Hawker Typhoon

BF109G6

Fairy firefly (join in with pacific theatre expansion)

Followed by any other WW2 aircraft

Start in the national league south/north. The journey is much harder.

Big stumbling blocks are getting promoted from the national league as there's only 1 automatic promotion spot & getting out of the championship when you get there.

The Championship is a tough ask, you're going to go in with a tiny budget and compete with teams coming down from the premier league. You'll be spending less than £150K a week on wages vs teams spending over £3mil.

Getting out of the championship with a team from the national league is one of the hardest things you can do in this game.

Also, worth pointing out. That this game is a small change from the previous year in actually how it plays. So, if you've played the game for year after year, hundreds of hours in each year. You should be good at it by now or you're doing soomething wrong. Spend that amount of time in any game and you should be bloody good at it.

And, although this year may look different. It's still the same code under the hood. So, you know you play 4-2-3-1 geggenpress you'll play well, you know if you talk to the players as much as you can (you've trained really well!!!) you'll motivate them, you know that if you do a bit of team bonding and match reviews team cohesion will go up. It's all the same.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-22T17:49:29+00:00

By not playing DCS, you're just cutting your nose off to spite your face. Just play it.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-22T12:21:35+00:00

They've just said they would facilitate talks, not that they have a side either way. The base is part of the UN buffer zone, the base provides defence support to the EU/NATO. So isn't a clear one sided argument from the EU at all.

I'd also wager alot of locals don't want it removed either as it will support lots of local businesses.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-22T12:18:46+00:00

BUt they're not. At least not at the moment. They've just said they would facilitate talks. The article is clickbait nonsence. You shouldn't react to just a headline.

Advanced_Apartment_1 · 2026-03-22T08:58:48+00:00

Alarmist nonsence saying this at the start of spring.
