Blooddawn1942 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 OMG @dburne Reading this makes me unspeakable sad. What can I say. Nothing will improve Your terrible situation whatever words can be found. I wish You and Your loved ones all possible strength on earth on the way that lies ahead of You. Life is such a precious gift that we all forget all too often. ? 1
FlyinCoffin Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 How could Cancer got you? 14 minutes ago, dburne said: Hey guys a quick update on my current situation. Have also posted this in Free Subject forum.Cancer has now spread, was in hospital last three days. They did MRI yesterday; it is now in many places including my spine. Cancer originated in my left lung with a tumor, and also had in 5 nodes in lung). While scan did not cover my head, I suspect based on my inability to think clearly and do things that should be second nature I am pretty sure it is also in brain now.When time comes if you see I have not posted in a week or longer - have a virtual toast for me, I know I will be in heaven with my family that preceded me - so yeah have a virtual toast remember good ole Don (dburne). Love you guys, and being a part of this forum has been a huge blessing for me. Thank you gang, it has been a true honor and brought me great enjoyment for over the past 10 plus years knowing you all virtually. May God Bless you all!! did you smoke or what did you do? however enjoy the time. maybe you survive.

DD_Crash Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 Sorry to hear this Don, I have read your VR posts and at least you got to fly lots of plane "sitting in the cockpit" Enjoy the time you have left, take care. 1

Trooper117 Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 All I can say Don is I hope I can approach my end with the same kind of bravado and spirit you are showing in your posts... you are a credit to us all. I do remember awhile back you did your best to help me out with a spare graphics card, (unfortunately you couldn't locate it ?) but I still thought you were a real gent for contacting me and trying to help out... blue skies mate, whenever I see a plane up there in the blue, I'll think of you winging around up there! 1 2

dburne Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Just did a Hornet Super Carrier Cold Start and then took off in Persian Gulf and had a wonderful time. Man that TLAA is absolutely gorgeous! Absolutely zero shimmering off at a distance, and probably placebo but could swear the cockpit instruments are even a little clearer. So loving TLAA!! I had to take my time but even made it through the entire cold start from memory and took off from carrier for a nice short flight in the Persian Gulf ! For me currently that is quite the accomplishment! 5 hours ago, Trooper117 said: All I can say Don is I hope I can approach my end with the same kind of bravado and spirit you are showing in your posts... you are a credit to us all.

Guest deleted@83466 Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 DCS planes now come with their own soundtrack available on vinyl, and customizable handlebar mustaches! I know there are a few DCS-haters around these parts, but man, this game is really taking it to another level.

Archie Posted October 30, 2023 Posted October 30, 2023 The Phantom video is incredible. Definite buy from me, but probably wait until it appears in the DCS store.

I have so many unused modules I find it hard to justify any more. However none come with quality facial hair or the abilty to draw a cock n balls on the glass so thankfully it wins out on its USPs. 2

True, the phantom thing is being released but f14 is utterly destroyed.

Together with 90% of DCS flyers. I did not buy the F-15 just so I could justify buying this. Still. I have totally forgotten Viggen for the fifth time. Same with F 5 and A4 I am currently doing all the choppers. I forgotten a lot about abris submenu's in KA 50 and button assignments. It is utter disaster trying to be tolerable pilot in too many modules. 2

Gave me hope that it might not be as far away as I feared.

MiGCap Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 @dburne Just visited this thread again after four or five weeks absence and read about Your situation. Very sad, Don, I just don't know what to say. I only can wish You the best possible under these circumstances. And that You have a good span of useful time left. Keep rolling as long as it's possible. 2

FlyinCoffin Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 come developers need something to eat. they cant eat their made modules..... you should become unemployed then you have enough time for all modules. and even the ifr course in fs academy. lol Iam still with my first dcs module after 3 years of il2 flying the bf109 and fw190. Want to go from F-86 to the free module of the A4. then maybe phantom. but dont know how long I need for all of this.

Want to go from F-86 to the free module of the A4. then maybe phantom. but dont know how long I need for all of this. Sorry to butt in again but the accuracy of most modules is dumbed down significantly. Not only is the "flight model" silly buy there are technical aspects that are unrealistic. For example planes don't have the electric load to run IFF, radar, radio, navigation, APU, lighting, and ECM all at the same time. The power management is a major aspect of the game that it totally ignores. Other sims do fail equipment when you run a stupid amount of it. Also the physical effort and pilot stress is something that just isn't in there.
DD_Fenrir Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Wow. The level of ass-hattery on display is frankly breathtaking. It’s almost entertaining. Almost. 1
