It is a shame that the most remarkable screenshot of my entire simulation flight career came from such a poorly executed mission. A Georgian infantry man aiming his SAM at my SU-25T. From this range, I can count how many cigarettes he has tucked in the odd open pouch of his chest rig. This is hands down the best screenshot I ever took. And the most stupid thing I ever done.

Engaging targets in the Kodori Gorge is always challenging. It's a narrow space and is very difficult to break in time to be in peace with the commandment of not overflying a target. It's doable, obviously not as I did today.

I really enjoyed this. Especially the colours! And that first screenshot is hard-hitting. It's very sobering - it's straight out of a graphic novel yet, being DCS, it could be real. Have you put it in the screenshot competition? Do you mind sharing what filters and settings you use - bloom or SweetFX or whatever? Cheers R
So the Thunderhawk would come screaming out of the sky at mach ohmygod! and as soon as the struts hit the ground they would rip off. You're trying to apply scientific principles to 40k. Do you not see the problem with that?

The shot of you firing the S-25L is most badass screenie I've seen in a long time.

Thanks for your kind words, everybody.
Antares: this is just straight from the DCS screenshot grabber, pasted into Photoshop, cropped and "Image Adjust -> Auto Adjust Levels".
