I'm not really sure where to put this but I think it might be of very great interest to some of you. There is an online flight simulator video game that is free to play you might find cool. It's called War Thunder, and it uses a pretty decent physics simulator to recreate WWII and Korean era air to air combat.
Have a looksie at:

This is just a screenshot but if you're interested go to WarTHunder.com and sign up.
It's not perfect, but for a free online game, that you get to fly everything from a Peashoter to an F86 in, it's DA BOMB!

There is a tank on tank version, and of course, you know that's of greater interest to me than the warbirds. I fly, but I suck at it. I'm much better killing people behind the gun of an M4A2 (76) than a P40E. You might still see me though. My screen name is Turkey Lurkey. If you see me, give me a hollar!


Nice to see ya'll again, by the way!

Hey Muddy
I'm honestly not much of a game guy.
I saw your handle and just wanted to shout out and say "Glad to see you"

Cheers man
Hope all is well :drink3:

Nice to see you too Andy! I'm really awful at the air to air combat. I wish someone here could help me figure it out better as I know all these pilots understand the physics of it better than I can. But I'll...muddle...my way along!

I can usually be found hunting in my KI-102 or KI-45's around 12am est

My sons play online with their cadet buddies at the CAF wing. They spend almost all their time practicing formation rejoins and acro. They are getting pretty fracking good, and it translates well. They both have started station keeping in the T-6
