Hi all, CoD is an amazing sim, patch or not, so while we wait, here is a little video from an online session I had recently... - Some of the most exciting flying in this sim is when you do a low-level chase, weaving in and out, and even passing between factory chimneys from time to time. It really is white-knuckle time and great fun, especially when flying against a real live opponent. Don't know who this Bf 109-pilot was, but here's a belated Salute! - As for his mates that I met later on: damn' you cold-blooded killers! Hope you like this vid, comments very welcome! - Freycinet

I like your videos Frey, but I really wish we could get a small +, instead of that white arrow. It would look so much better.

The cursor is jarring but also shows what I am fiddling around with. Notice that I know dick about I chose to forego any sort of editing for artistic reasons... My vids don't get any prizes for polish, that's for sure. My main aim with them is just to show the gaming experience: wysiwyg...

Wauw, I just passed 200,000 views on my videos. That's pretty mindblowing... Congratulations Frey, that is pretty impressive. Wheels

Not my words, just paraphrasing historian Patrick Bishop, "Al Deere later described them (rhubarbs) as 'useless and hated'. At best they 'served only as a means of letting off steam in that they enabled pilots to fire their guns in anger, more often than not against some unidentified target.' Deere confessed that on the rhubarbs in which he was engaged he could not 'truthfully say that the vehicles and the train which I attacked were strictly military targets.'
Jan to June, prior to Barbarossa, the RAF lost 51 pilots, the Luftwaffe 20. As you point out the offensive was stepped up after the invasion of Russia, and July to Dec the RAF lost 411 aircraft and destroyed only 154.
"...nor could the Russians be said to have benefitted. The activity persuaded the Luftwaffe to keep a force of fighters in France and the low countries. But it consisted at any time of about 260 single engine aircraft which would have had little effect on the fortunes of the the war in the east".

Proud to announce 500+ subscribers on my youtube channel... Getting a bit over 1000 views on my CoD movies per day, so there must be some interest out there... - Seems from the comments I get that a lot are watching the vids until they can get the hardware to run it one day. I remember doing the same for Il-2 Classic in its day, 10 years ago... Only back then it took half an hour to download a five minute movie. It is getting to be a bit of a chore to approve every comment, so I am thinking that I might make commenting free. Do anybody have any experience as to whether that would be a really bad idea? There aren't that many really inane spamming comments, but maybe they'd pick up if people can post freely... - Well, I'll just have to see I guess.

All its going to do is take your first Pro-Nazi vs Jewish nationalist to tangle, and you'll see crazy crazy hate in your comments. Most things dealing with the WW2 era attract both like flies. I'd personally be careful opening up the comments, hate to ruin what's a great channel for us flight simmers, with a Youtube ban, or even just constant hate-filled trolling. That stuff makes the 1c forums look like kindergarten play.
