Thanks for the mention, and the enthusiasm! Yes I grew up on helicopter games, including the Strike series. I'm glad the nostalgia is hitting for other people too, we're having a ton of fun making it.

You're more than welcome! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Best wishes to you and the team with your development process. I'll be sure to keep talking about the game here and I can't wait to play it one day!

Omg, Cleared Hot brought back memories of Desert Strike, a game that I loved at the time, but haven't thought about in years! I remember it being both awesome and incredibly frustrating in equal measure. Also great to see FFB options coming back on the market. Besides VR my FFB base (VPForce Rhino) is the single most immersion boosting peripheral I have (had to wait nearly a year for it though!)

[@stewmanji]

Right?!? The nostalgia was real right away. So glad someone else appreciates that series (and it's incredible levels of frustration, hahaha). Totally agree about FFB...I too can't imagine not having my Rhino. What an absolute game changer it has been.

Nice to see the BSD reference! It's a cool server and an alternative to the Rotorheads (but without the need for pay some commodities: fly a FW and save the takeoff spots). Then the "free plugin". :D Is good to have the option the trade time for money, and I prefer to save some money.

[@stewmanji]

Yeah, the "free plugin" was a great find by that other community member...options are always nice! And I haven't had the chance to fly the BSD serer yet but I'm really looking forward to it. I need to get back to flying helos in DCS more often and with the OH-58 and CH-47 releasing, the time is right. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I hope you continue to enjoy the show!

Hopefully MSCFS (Pacific Theater) 2.1 will feature a Hanger Bay lol. Cheers!!

@@stewmanji Anything you need in the future just give me a shout. Any vox pops or anything like that, me or one of the discord boys and girls will happily give you our time.

Dude. Get a Quest3 and a connection cable. My wife got me one for Christmas. I wasn't expecting much and WOW WAS I SUPRISED. I'm here to tell you, you will NEVER be able to go back to flying on a monitior. I was so SO ready to be underwhelmed........and I was comepletly BLOWN AWAY. I couldn't recommend it more

[@stewmanji]

Really appreciate that feedback! I’ve been on the fence for a long time so this might be the “push” I needed. Thanks for listening and for commenting!

[@simtaylor61]

@@stewmanji it took a minute to get set up (easy but not what I’d call exactly intuitive, if you follow me). You WILL need to download OpenXR also(it’s free). But the first time I cranked it up and got in my F/A 18 pit, the first thing I did is I REACHED for a switch. Not moused. REACHED WITH MY HAND. Then after the DOH! Moment….well…..dude….you gotta get you one of those

I echo the Q3 recommendation. I had a Q2 for a couple years and almost hung it up. I just coukdnt get visuals I deemed worth the hassle until I got set up with a discord group dedicated to the Q2 and DCS. Gamechanger. I upgraded my laptop last fall making even the Q2 look so good I decided to step up th the Q3. I run everything maxed out and love it.

[@stewmanji]

@@GaltAWG I've got the Q3 in my wish list now! Might have to take the plunge if we see a sale this summer or possibly this holiday season. Thanks for your thoughts and for listening to the show!
