What's your favorite view on final approach?

Mine is almost certainly the Runway 19 approach into KDCA. It gives you a phenomenal view of the Mall. (The first half of the video is muted because I was talking over everything, lol.)

Battle For Feldspar Continues: More Footage of the Conflict

Early on the evening of August 17th, BDF forces deployed to Feldspar International Airport (LFIA.)
Shortly thereafter, a PALAn expeditionary force managed to seize the airport, despite vigorous defense from the BDF. The intensity of the conflict ramped up throughout the night, and while no official tally has been provided, analysis of the provided footage has been able to confirm the some casualties, including a T/A-30 Compass and an FS-12 Revoker. A third casualty was confirmed, and PALA claims that it was an SFB-81 Darkreach. The BDF refused to comment, stating that "the situation is still developing rapidly."

Poor Hexhound :-(

In related news, this is my first time realizing that Hexhounds can be blown up.
I always thought they were like other vehicles.

Does anyone else taxi a little too fast most of the time?

In the Darkreach it can be pretty fun, because it drifts really well.
(Not that I would know...)

Apparently the Medusa has a Phaser now...

Seriously though, has this happened to anyone else?
Some other folks that I've talked to on the Discord have been noticing weird laser shenanigans like this as well.

6 minute montage of people trying to finish off my Medusa until we all decide I should just eject.

To be fair, I asked one of them to try and see if he could finish me off after I crashed.
(Yes, the first clip is longer than the rest- sorry about that. Felt like context could be nice.)

First time experiencing a go around!

Flight from KDCA to KAUS. I suspect it was an unstabilized approach that caused the go around. Next approach was great. I've been hoping to experience a go around for a couple of years now, and this was (by my best estimate) my 20th flight, at most.

Feeling very lucky right now.

Edit: it has been shared that it was actually caused because a Gulfstream did not clear the runway on time.

Destroying buildings has got to be one of the most satisfying things to do in this game.

Honestly, the building designs in this game are pretty neat, especially those in Feldspar.

Honestly, the Tarantula has got to be one of the toughest aircraft in the game by a long shot.

It was not ready to quit until pretty much the entire aircraft was destroyed.
Props to it for putting up with all of my abuse.
