I'm playing the demo for Revolution Under Seige because I'm cheap and to get me in the mood for, "To End All Wars" coming soon. Mostly cause I'm cheap though.

I had to lower the wind factor in the PWCG settings.  Most campaign missions would have ridiculous wind speeds & buffeting until I did.  Dunno if I had accidentally changed it to something higher (don't think I did) or it was the default.  I'm pretty sure those wind speeds were regularly so high that the planes would've been historically grounded instead of going on patrols like that.


Thanks for the tip -- I've been wondering why I'm having a harder time taking off in PWCG (never nosed-over before I started using it) -- I'll lower the wind settings as well.

Going to war with my Groghead brothers in Steel Beast Pro.....

And have the following to look at:


  • EU IV
  • X-Com Long War
  • Xenonauts
  • Endless Legend or FE:LH
  • Crusader Kings
  • Falcon 4.0
  • FSX
  • Flashpoint Campaigns

Why would I ever buy another game.... hope to get to one or two of the above.  Restarting all of my campaigns because of the lack of time spent with the ongoing ones.

I'm starting to get drawn into Morrowind so I'll be continuing my run through of that.

I've been contemplating getting back into F1:2013.  It's just such a hassle to switch out my HOTAS gear for the wheel and pedals, though.

Hope to finish my Napoleon Total War Campaign.. I'm on the province next to Moscow, so it should be soon.. Also pushed the English out of Spain, where they attacked me from after breaking our peace Treaty.. Thinking of invading England, but not sure if it's smart.

Will probably get a few FSX flights in...

I've been playing a Cardassian campaign in Birth of the Federation the last couple days (since Anguille just had to get me juiced up for it again :P ), and am also feeling the need for some Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes

I had to lower it quite a ways.  There's a tip in the settings screen.  I vaguely recall the default regularly having 15m/s winds that drove me nuts so I lowered the maximum to about 1/3rd of what it was.

15 m/s is like 30 knots.  That's a lot of wind for a plane that does about 70 knots!

Exactly.  Not only such slow planes, but so light and having so much extra wing area for it.  They wouldn't be flying in anything near such wind gusts. 

I think the randomized wind speeds in that Campaign Generator is too random.  So much that I kept getting wind speeds at or near the default maximum setting (15m/s IIRC).  So I entered a much smaller value in there to keep it from going nuts. 

Was just surprised that they left it at such a default.  Surely others had experienced the same thing that I did since the last time PWCG was updated.

Most likely will finish writing up the grand finale to Survive Harder Season Two (vs. the Nurgles again, naturally). Might thus finally be able to start playing (filming?) Season Three.

That's assuming the new Steam upgrade doesn't keep making me nervous about losing my progress due to desynching or something vaguely awful like that...  :uglystupid2:

Mostly PCO i believe i got a grip on the best way to use the controls now, still trying in vane to knock out t-34&Kv's with 41 German armor. Probably throw some quick Painkiller levels for a change of pace and going to go through the tutorials for AI War.
