Christmas Postcard from the Desert Wings Tobruk front.
Whilst the year itself has been a dogs breakfast, on a positive note, for flight simmers, it has arguably been one of the best, content new release and updates/improvements wise since the heydays!
Thanks to our community, and all the content creators out there that are putting flight simulation out into the forefront of PC gaming.
Have a great day and most importantly, stay safe.
Cheers,
TFS Team.
