For the next two days we will be joining the bold helo pilots of the Rotor Heads multiplayer server in Digital Combat Simulator. Most of us will be flying helos on the frontlines, but a few will be providing close air support with laser guided ordinance from fixed-wing aircraft. #DCSWorld #flightsim

In Freelancers: Rogue Skies the open-world style gameplay is one of the most interesting aspects. As it is now, there are a few far off celestial bodies and space stations that can be visited. We are interested in seeing where this game goes story wise. #indiegame #flightsim

FPV drone warfare games are still a relatively new experience to us. We are getting the hang of it in a few different games though. Here we one-shot the objective in a somewhat harder mission in Kamikaze Strike: FPV Drone.

In Remembrance
It’s something of a tradition on Stormbirds to mark Remembrance Day. This is a memorial day observed most typically in Commonwealth countries around the world to honour armed forces members who served and were lost in the line of duty. Veterans Day in the United States is also marked on this day. One of the many ways we mark it is with a reading of In Flanders Fields.

The range of the SA-5 Gammon seems oppressive, but its low altitude performance and semi-active radar homing guidance is a weakness. It is an interesting obstacle against high altitude operations while not being as challenging as its successor, the SA-10 Grumble. #DCSWorld #flightsim
