I was dogfighting a 190-D over Paris, but he was too good so had to ask for help. Good thing we have wingman commands! You can direct who to attack, formation, and some other stuff. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #flightsim #ww2 #wwii #retrogaming #screenshotsaturday

Flying on mighty wings with Heatblur’s DCS: F-14B(U)!

If what I've seen over the last few days is true, it seems like you won't be waiting all that long to get your hands on Heatblur's DCS: F-14B(U) Upgrade for DCS World. I was very fortunate to get an early preview of the module so I could fly it and get some thoughts written down ahead of its launch. In part one of the series I'm taking you through the journey of returning to the Tomcat and getting reacquainted with a type that I've put a fair bit of time into but not all that recently.
