IL-2 STURMOVIK: JUST "PLANE" PORNOGRAPHY


My first IL-2 Sturmovik "Battle of Stalingrad" video. I am not usually jumping up and down for World War 2 flight simulators as I felt none have really be done that well. This is extremely refreshing. I will be adding this to my channel and I believe it has a deserved place here. Amazing physics and incredible graphics and also holds true to a simulator.

Here, I fly a small interception mission to the East of Stalingrad and it made for great viewing, so enjoy.


Cheers and Merry Christmas.

FALCON BMS: DANGER CLOSE



Falcon BMS mission back in the Balkans with a fresh new campaign. Today's mission see's me in a Block 50 F-16 as we head down the west coast to perform a DEAD strike without pre-planned steer-points on a small enemy air defence battalion.

The intro is from Korea 2012 campaign where things were pretty hectic...and the end result was me being court marshalled. I also had issues with targets on the FCR not appearing on the terrain except for on occasion where they would pop out through and flicker. So I decided to return to duty in the Balkans where I have never completed a campaign but also where we left before patch 4.33 U2.

FALCON BMS: DAY ZERO



Falcon BMS 4.33 U2 Korea 2012. War has broken out and I find myself at Seosan in a F16 Block 52 (Korean Version). The first day of any campaign was is the hardest. Moral is high on both sides, Targets are defended and enemy are quick to intercept. We go on a mission right behind their front lines to destroy a EWS Radar Station which provides electronic jamming and radar coverage for the North Korean forces.  Not an easy mission..... so enjoy!



UPDATE: Sorry for the lack of videos of late.... Son, and daughter were ill, then guess who then got their germs!.... Made a few changes too, changed in board mic for flights and also setup my voice activation again (voiceattack). Changed also the screen layout to encompass just my logo. I will reduce the size of this for future vids.  Hope you all like the changes.



Don't forget to click subscribe if you want to see more vids. I will be back in my trusty Block 40 for the next one ;)



Cheers guys.....

X-PLANE: CARENADO PC12 SLIM REVIEW



My Slim or Light (whichever you want to call it) review of the CARENADO PC12 for X-Plane. I personally love the aircraft and have spent many hours flying her.  I have a few of Carenado's planes and this is by far my favourite of the lot. Worth the money... Watch the light review.

ARMA SKYFIRE - TANOA LIBERATION



Another night with the Cannon-Fodder.org team. A small mission which took us to the one of the coasts of Tanoa where I insert a small assault team to take out La Foa. A small village for some reason rather heavily defended. Understaffed and with poor vision from the support helicopters made the mission take a lot longer than expected. I fly as close air support and also insert and extract. Multi-role as normal. Enjoy.

DCS GAZELLE SA342L: ENGAGING THE ENEMY



A mission deep into the enemies lair. I take the Gazelle helicopter with a wing man and head into hostile territory flying low level combat patrol. Task is to engage enemies with permission to engage at will. Close Air Support can also be provided by myself for JTAC officers on the ground. A nail biting fight ensues between me and some tanks which will not explode.

FALCON BMS: RETURNING TO THE FIRE



This sortie takes us back to where the previous mission failed. We are a DEAD package and have an important job to clear enemy SAM launchers from the enemy territory allowing for another package to OCA Strike the hostile airport in the vicinity. Using HARM AGM-88 radiation locking missiles we can engage from a distance and prevent active launches against us. Sit back and enjoy.

FLIGHT REVIEW: AS350 B3+ Dreamfoil Creations, Glasgow to Oban



A short flight and a short review of the latest addition to my fleet in X-Plane.  The helicopter is one of the hardest helicopters I have ever flown. THE AS350 B3+ by Dreamfoil Creations. I personally find it harder to fly this than the Gazelle or the Huey in DCS....considerably. Once it starts clicking for you though, wow, what a helicopter. It rewards you well. Amazing helicopter.

Hope you all enjoy the video ;)

ARMA 3: INTERCEPT (Mission Enhanced Little Bird)





A truck full of supplies in an enemy convoy is heading to re-supply a hostile town. We quickly setup a team to infiltrate and ambush the convoy to prevent this. Not all went to plan. Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to then extract and fight in the town where the supplies were headed. It was a tough fight.



I spent my time in the air flying the Mission Enhanced Little-bird which is a fast,nimble, and powerfully agile helicopter. It really is a joy to fly compared to the Hummingbird or Pawnee. Enjoy as I support from the skies and engage with C.A.S when required.

Amazing Fighter Pilots

FALCON BMS: FIREBALL





Taking off from Aviano airbase and heading South for a deep strike on enemy targets. Priorities are a chemical laboratory and an underground munitions factory. Secondaries are a metal factory and airport assets.  The mission is in extremely hostile and  heavily defended territory. To make it out alive would be a miracle. Sit back and enjoy my toughest mission to date...

ARMA: MISSION FUBAR. THE VALLEY OF DEATH



CAFO (cannon-fodder) Alpha Squad head out into enemy territory to take over a power plant. We look to gain a stronghold in the area, collect fuel supplies and also capture some intel. Lead by Major Corey (British Military Operations Expert) he takes a bunch of loose cannons and a normally half witted pilot into the battlefield. What lay ahead was one of the largest ambushes I have ever witnessed from either the skies or on the ground. We did not make it home.......

DCS: FIRST FLIGHT AND FIRST ENGAGEMENT



Hi guys, started playing DCS as I heard their choppers were pretty darn exceptional. So I bought the Gazelle SA342 Helicopter and have done some "light" reading up on it. I added an English mod to the cockpit, otherwise everything was in French. I decided to jump in the deep end as per usual and I started a campaign mission which was a long, and I mean long, flight escorting a Chinook then went on a patrol of the surrounding areas. Ended up being attacked by some artillery and finally got to engage some enemies.  Loving the DCS explosions. They put a smile on my face.



Enjoy the video and click subscribe to subscribe to me on YouTube and see more of these videos.

FALCON BMS: MISSILE INBOUND. SA-2 HUNTING



Falcon BMS 4.33U1. Another mission in the Balkans, flying into enemy territory to search and destroy mission. Targets are SA-2 Surface To Air Missiles (SAMS).  It is dangerous work and things get pretty sweaty and intense.  Mission is completed but at a loss of a wing-man.  The F-16 performs admirably at this complex and difficult task of Weaselling out SA-2 batteries.

Enjoy....

Hi guys, this is my first look into Subnautica, which is an early access game on steam. It is by far one of the most polished and refined early access games I have ever played. It is thoroughly enjoyable and really is great fun to play. I will be turning this into a series of tutorials to help you. I will fumble through and bring you the knowledge. Or let you learn from my mistakes. lol. Fantastic underwater game.

ARMA 3: DEFENDING AND DYING



As we settled into our war and invasion of Altis aggression rose and an enemy battalion decided to take back the Salt Plains which we took earlier in our efforts.  We were under manned and out gunned but we pursued to engage and defend. Casualties were high and Close Air Support cleared the remaining threats....

UNRAVEL: Unravel My Brain Part One - Livestream




Unravel is amazingly beautiful and touches your heart and memory as you play. Great graphics with great physics and a wonderful hidden story. Best platform game I have played in a while... enjoy!

SPACE ENGINEERS: The Chilean Miners Episode



Another episode of Space Engineers but this is one I recorded a while ago and forgot to edit. So here it is, we land on a planet, find some much needed iron ore and decide to manually drill by hand the ore from the lake bed. Soon after we realise that we have dug a hole with no way out. Our mining session turns to a fight for survival.  With a Hollywood ending this is a nail biter of an episode. Enjoy.

THRUSTMASTER HOTAS WARTHOG: Unboxing and Review



Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog is the ultimate flight stick and throttle combination. It is an exact replica of a real A10-C Warthogs flight controls and has been beautifully and industrially crafted for dedicated gamers. It comes at a price tag but is it worth it? I personally think it was worth every penny.

Sunday, 19 June 2016

FALCON BMS: EURO FIREFIGHT




Back with another Falcon BMS 4.33 U1 Mission. A whole new campaign as I settle in for the first time ever in the Balkans Theatre. New Thrustmaster Warthog controller and a desperation to be airborne again I take to the skies in an almost impossible mission to bomb a Electronic Warfare Radar Site. Poor weather dictates that I use guided bombs but with no TGP visibility I program them to fall on GPS locations as they are static targets.

Super fast, super dangerous mission with dog-fighting, SAM evasion, and ground attack all included!

Sit back and enjoy!

God of War 4 Gameplay Walkthrough - NEW E3 2016 God Of War Trailer


So far I have seen very little from E3 that has interested me. This new take on God of War is definitely the best thing I have seen so far. 3rd person over the shoulder, strong story line, great level design and atmosphere.... This will be on my want list...

Formula One Road America Fast Pace (headtracking)




Formula A (One) around Road America. One of the most awesome tracks in the world.  A real pleasure to race a car around there. It ended up being a real battle to the last laps but eventually I came through for the win.  Sit back and enjoy the race...

SPACE ENGINEERS: Idiots In Space Part 3



The final in this chapter of testing the waters with Space Engineers. From not having any blueprints, ideas, manuals or prior knowledge, a buddy and I start building large spaceships. Part One and Two were external and structural, this is Part three which is mainly internal and propulsion.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Please sub for more. Have a ton of footage already of 3 of us on a planet trying to make ends meet. Lives were lost, equipment was destroyed and minds were blown.

Cheers

X PLANE: Flight from London to Rome A320neo



Still learning X-Plane and the Airbus A320Neo.  Enjoyed this flight from London Heathrow to Rome's FIUMICINO airport.

I was also trying the X-Life air and aground traffic plugin which I just purchased but didn't really get a hang of it. Will try it another time.

Hope you enjoy the flight....saw some lovely things...

Also I apologise for the stuttering on the video. This is because I updated my OBS to OBS Studio and obviously have not ironed out all the settings. Sorry for the lack of quality, I will have this addressed as soon as possible.

FOB TAKEOVER: From Defending To Attacking



Fighting for Cannon-Fodder.org we take a heavy and aggressive attack on our new base. We defend with limited troops and then retaliate almost immediately with a coordinated attack on their F.O.B. We recon it, then insert special forces to laser designate it, then we strike it with bombs. Then ground forces move in to take prisoners and intel. Mission was hectic...

Damn those snipers!

X PLANE FULL FIRST FLIGHT: Hungary to Tuscany



So I bought an Airbus A320neo and X-Plane..... Took off in it from Budapest and flew all the way across to Tuscany. I am really only just learning X-Plane but enjoyed it so much. Love having so much to learn.

Filled with mistakes as I fumble around the maze of procedures I kind of feel surprised I even got the bird in the air....

All for you to watch.....

Will make a series of these vids now, some full length when I learn more, and also others which will be highlights from start-up to shut-down in considerably shorter videos as I fly to destinations across the world.

SPACE ENGINEERS: Idiots In Space Part 2



Space Engineers is a game that I have heard and read about but never played. Well all that changed as Christian and I attempt to venture into no man's land and build our first ever space ships. 
Enjoy the madness..... This is just the beginning of the outer shell....part 3 will have the internals and the electronics and computers and maybe even a flight....

Enjoy.

ARMA: Helicopter Therapeutic Night Flights



This was my last flight session since my X-55 Rhino broke on me, I will discuss that in another video, and this is also why I havn't shot any falcon BMS videos or any other type of flying video for a while. I have a Thrustmaster warthog arriving tomorrow so I will be back in the skies soon enough so I thank you for your patience.

SPINTIRES MULTIPLAYER: Mud Wrestling With No Bikini



SPINTIRES is the most unusual game/simulator and it is something that I would not for a moment normally consider playing. It turns out it is fun,challenging, and a great way to therapeutically relax as you churn mud in this wonderfully weird but superbly modelled and simulated game.

Enjoy

Project Cars Radical SR8 HeadTracking



I fire up Project Cars after a long break as I have purchased it for the PC as well. I wanted to test out head tracking with my "ED-Tracker" and I found I had to tone down all my settings so it was very marginal inputs. Its so toned down you can hardly see the difference...but I promise you it's there and definitely helps whilst racing.

Heli Operations and Evasion


Another tough night on the Cannon-Fodder.org public server. Tough VCOM AI and a long 5 hours shift of piloting for them. Enjoyable as always.... Here is a few snippets of the night.

Monday, 11 April 2016



So I have been playing FEZ pretty much secretly for about 6 months now. I have it on the PS4 but decided that it was actually a game that I wanted to play on my Vita. So this is what I have been doing in my very limited down time and also when I have been waiting for ...well... anything with a queue attached....(Doctors, dentists, car parks waiting for the wife to shop etc..)

I have got to 87% complete but sure am struggling to do the last bits. Need some more secret keys. Need some puzzle intelligence to figure out a couple of the last parts too....

What a game. You can leave it for ages and come back to it and get right back into it. testament to a well thought and planned game.

My brain hurts......... need more keys to progress....

Arma 3: Wasteland Mercenaries



Arma 3 Wastelands. I jump in with a couple of buddies to tackle Arma 3 Wasteland mod. Never played before so thought to give it a try. Well it turned out to be hilariously good fun. It didn't take us long to fall into the Mercenary role and go hunting for PVE and PVP moments. Others had the same plan!


Totally gutted that I missed the Closed Beta. It just came round when too many other things were going on. I feel like I really missed out.  I can't wait for Doom. I really think it is going to be a typical I.D Software masterpiece. Bringing back the Quake 3 Arena game style with all the additions of the new MOBA type arena battles.  I think they will nail it.  Kind of contradicts my interest in Overwatch and Battleborn. This is where it will be.....Under rated but hopefully will have a mass following due to previous game releases that they have done.

Cheers

BattleBorn Beta for PS4 now open




Just to let you all know that BattleBorn for the PS4 is now available to download and try as a Beta.

I have already put in about an hour and find myself enjoying it more and more.  Wondering how it will compete though with other games also coming out like Doom which is also Arena type battle game-play. Overwatch looks better. It's hard to tell. Gearbox have always done amazing projects and you all know I am a massive fan of the Borderland series. (Which I still am playing by the way)....

There is something about Battleborn on both sides of the camp. The enjoyment is there but for some reason a little disappointment is also there I just can't put my finger on it at the moment.

Time will tell, but in the meantime, download it for yourself and have a play. It definitely is enjoyable!

Cheers

Mission 14 of the campaign with Strong DPRK. Heading to the East Coast in a 3 package sortie. Flight one to Destroy Enemy Air Defences. Flight two to Strike the Chemical Weapons Assembly Factory and Flight 3 to provide escort to flight 2.

Arma Missile Evasion Hell



Escorting a pilot with vital supplies into the A.O turns horribly sour as we are intercepted by incoming hostile jets. I evaded for as long as I could... had a few lucky escapes...but task saturation left me flying in the danger zone. One outcome was for sure!

Arma 3
HellCat Helicopter
Flying with Advanced Flight Model
Using Joystick and a headtracker

Enjoy

Arma Close Air Support Team


A difficult Invade and Annex with VCOM AI upgraded AI made a tough battle even tougher. As a helicopter pilot, supporting the ground troops became the priority. Ammo crates, supplies, transport and recon with close air support was in this mission. Helped massively by having a decent copilot made this experience so much more fun. So kudos to Kurlz!

Sit back and enjoy!

Join up at Cannon-Fodder.org as we are recruiting (This is the server I play on)

The Division Gameplay Coop



Just a video of a long session with the RAGEQUIT UNLEASHEDCODE PODCAST MEMBERS.

Familiarising and learning our way through The Division. Its a very nice game! Very fluid, dynamic and captivating with some wonderful atmospheric settings encapsulating a disaster on such an epic scale.

Falcon BMS Escorting The Strike Package



Falcon BMS video Mission 13. Flying to protect a OCA Strike package in an extremely hostile part of enemy airspace where we have previously bombed their nuclear power plant.  

It is a tense mission where we are interdicted several times by  multiple aircraft. Our SEAD couldn't safely engage and the Strike package held back making my job so much harder on limited fuel.

Enjoy!

Arma 3 Training Exercise: The Taking of Topolia




A training session with the Cannon-Fodder.org squad.  We assemble a tight knit squad and go on a live exercise to destroy enemy communications and take over and invade a town called Topolia.  

As always... a good fight commenced and not everyone was to survive....
