It doesn't use streamed live traffic as it uses accurate set of customisable real-world 2017 schedules (the same data as used by the main flight tracking sites). It has a new developer so doesn't use any of the old Traffic 360 engine.

Stay tuned...

Both 100 years old and still full of fire

The man who is older than the RAF
Franciszek Kornicki, the Polish pilot who took command of 308 Squadron during the Second World War was, on 26th September 2017, named the winner of an RAF Museum poll to decide 'The People's Spitfire Pilot'.

Arma 3 - Faces of War Mod - Keyhole Positions: Be Proactive


It's September and I am feeling a bit for a WWII, British Paras action. In this blog entry, a beleaguered Para has German infantry closing on his position.


The attic from hell: I fortified the position with some sandbags and placed my character in a keyhole position. Two German squads are advancing (not a fat chance to get out alive, I know).
