Goons are going for another big dynamic campaign that's going to go for a while as a Let's Play, with multiple player commanders in tabletob fashion.

Thanks to Prime and Deadseed for hard work at a crucial time crunch. I recommend taking an advantage of the sale at ED store for 12 more hours. We're going to war in South America.

In reference to this, forumsposter Aero did this in MSFS2020:

Aero737 posted:



Australia, Keen to slow the PLA advance in the Southern Hemisphere, has been strategically partnering with South American, Pacific, and African countries in providing defense aid and humanitarian aid. The No. 36 Squadrion of the RAAF, flying C-17 Globemasters, has been tasked with this.

Mission Tasking: Deliver essential supplies and radio navigational beacons to aid Chilean and Argentinean forces.

Routing RAAF Amberly (YAMB) to El Calafate (SAWC) via South Pacific

Load Sheet:







Loading cargo



Foggy morning outside Brisbane. 4:05 am local.







Breaking through the fog and low cloud layer



Early summer sunrise.




En route over New Zealand. Our flight path roughly follows the 40th parallel across the South Pacific.



Approaching the west coast of Chile. Fog fills the fjords due to the marine layer.



Initiating combat descent after crossing the Andes. The mountain range provides a natural shield from PLAAF radar and their SAM network. We will descend into a mountain valley and follow the terrain to our destination.



CAUTION TERRAIN CAUTION TERRAIN



In the valley. Countermeasures armed, lights off.



On final approach into El Calafate. The city is in the background.



Full reverse.






If you think you might partake, you can fly MSFS2020 and contribute. Current question in the thread is:


"Brazil is in the fight and Brazil famously (for people concerned about the financial threat of South American arms development) began indigenous designs of cruise missiles and rocket artillery launchers back in the 90s and early 2000s. Depending on Naval ships alone to secure the Strait of Magellan is folly, and China has some ships that could be a real serious SAM threat for our air forces. Someone should get coastal defense cruise missiles (CDCM) and long-range rockets deployed down to the Strait of Magellan where they can hold the ships large enough to carry serious SAMs at serious risk of cruise missile attack.

---

Anti-shipping missiles are a possibility. For those, I will require a broad strokes plan, and they will have to be flown in by cargo aircraft from Brazil in MSFS2020. Someone has to step up to do that."


..

Inquire within.

The C-17 I used is freeware, so anyone with MSFS (or gamepass) can fly it. It's a very good freeware aircraft with a mostly complete and modeled cockpit, HUD, and an amazing exterior.

I would have hoped the reaction on finding out about that contractors views would be to stop using them.

I meant at least he doesnt agree with the guys views (so technically not a sympathiser) but still... ffs man!

Cannot agree with that part.

He defends keeping them around knowing what they are, defends their work and skill, gives shoutouts and praise to them (Yink) in his vids and other media while benefiting from their work. He's openly acknowledged that they are a Nazi and supports them being there as part of the community that he has made.

It's like the saying if you have 9 people at dinner and a known nazi sits down and joins them and everyone has a pleasant meal, you have 10 nazis at dinner.

Just a heads up Enigma is an unapologetic Nazi sympathizer.

This is actually not true. I realize some people have crabs in a bucket mentality but it is crazy that this continues.

If people are able to coexist on my server and not introduce any politics then they are welcome to take part in it. Me being unwilling to be a moral police and wanting to stay as neutral as possible doesn't make me a Nazi sympathizer. It just means that I want to avoid politics in the gaming space.

I offered to leave Gooncord so people could save face and to make things easier because most of Gooncord just does PVE things and I mostly play PVP. I didn't want to try to fight to stay in because a handful of Goons wanted to impose their moderation style on my server.

Also for the record, we still play. Many of us realize what happened on that discord and it was just easier to play on other discords. So while you may feel it your duty to run around and spread these falsehoods just do know that several people on Gooncord and I continue to still play to this day. So I hope this gives you pause and to realize that your thoughts are not universally held by people on that discord.

I hope the South Atlantic campaign goes well.

The last thing I will say is you guys are just seeing this and don't see the other half. The crazy conservatives who come after me for protecting people from homophobic or anti trans stuff.

Replaced my old CH Fighterstick/Throttle/Pedals and home built pvc frame with a bit of an upgrade this past weekend:



Honeycomb Alpha yoke, used Bravo Throttle from a goon, and a new Logitech G Pro rudder on a Wheel Stand Pro HC frame. I pretty much only fly in VR, but I'm finding myself wanting to just use a monitor so I can look at the controllers more. I'm worried this is what leads to full cockpit setups in the future.

I’m not-Nazi related news, the MSFS/DCS/War Thunder trifecta forced my hand and I popped in a 4TB SSD today.

Amazon took the order at 11am local, and it was installed and running by 4pm. And it was cheaper than Best Buy or anywhere else I could have gotten it local. The future is wild.
