As an experiment, but also to try something new, I decided to open a new YouTube channel in Italian. Rather than a copy-paste of the current English structure, I opted for something different: a less constructed, more open, quasi-podcast, format.
A few months have passed since the announcement of the MiG-29 9.12A. Nevertheless, I still see frequent comments about the inutility of the Fulcrum against the upcoming F-35 and other post 2010s fighters. And every time I ask myself: why do people bother?
I decided to spend a couple of minutes to talk about the decision to move from my own voice to an AI Text-to-speech service, a couple of years ago. Back in 2023, I wrote a post explaining the reasoning behind this decision. Two years later, the situation has not improved.
This is a brief video to discuss some news about the channel and website, and, more importantly, acknowledge how good the ED last newsletter (11/07/2025) was.
DCS players see the game in multiple ways. Some like to just depart and shoot. Others like to plan with their Section or Flight. Others again like to expand the previous by adding correlated asset coordination: controllers, tankers, EW assets, et cetera. Realism, or lack thereof, affects these multiple categories of players differently.
To follow up on the recent question I asked on this channel, here are some additional thoughts and considerations regarding the upcoming Full Fidelity MiG-29 9.12A developed by Eagle Dynamics.
