1. With Adders help I have been able to get the Mosquito mission close to a complete state.

 

2. The F104 is awesome but I need to learn to fly it better, too many deadly flat spins.

 

3. I am still fleshing out the UKCSG once I am happy with it I will build missions for it.

 

4. No progress

 

5. No progress

 

6. I am using the Persian gulf map, specifically SW Iran to build a scenario. Basically Allies are in control of a town, further to the west we have a encampment, with 4 M1A2 Abrams, LAVs, an infantry element and AH64Ds. We have checkpoints to the east and west of the town (no desert camo for the Stryker or infantry)

 

I imagine insurgents will assault, this will mobilise our tanks and the LAVs, at which point we will have to warm up the Apaches to help protect the town. This is my first time using infantry, they are very clunky. In game they move in slow motion and are all at storm trooper level of accuracy when they do eventually notice an enemy, no matter how high a skill level I give them.

1 Creating a series of training and actual mission for the Mosquito, these include the 633 Squadron Homage, a bombing range (thanks to Ian Christie "Sidekick69"), Cold start and navigation training, gestapo headquarters raid and a convoy attack.

 

2 Creating a variety of interceptor and training missions for the new F104 Starfighter mod due tomorrow.

 

3 Creating a UK Carrier strike group (UKCSG) mission, I am testing a variety of mods, Including the F35, the AW101 Merlin (AI), the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and the Type 45 Destroyer HMS Duncan. I cannot find a mod for a type 23 frigate, so I will try to find a US/Canadian counterpart. Here is HMS Duncan with a couple of Merlin's

4 I am waiting on the latest A4E Skyhawk to build a Falklands scenario using the Marianas as a surrogate, I have the Dassault Super Etendard and Excocet mod plus the Harrier so I should be able to come up with something interesting.

 

5 Creating a coalition attack on a base in the straits of Hormuz involving RAF Tornados as the bomber component and USN/USAF F18s, F16s and F15s for SEAD and Cap 

 

6 The AH64 Apache will be released in December so I will try to come up with some scenarios for it by then.

New Project, A new carrier has been added to DCS by Heatblur, the USS Forrestal CV59. It is available to everyone.

 

I have tried to recreate a deck scene from a phot of the ship, I don't have all the planes, most importantly the A6E Intruder. The mod I have has not been updated and is causing issues, which is a shame, but I have found an EA 6B Prowler and have the older A4E Skyhawk so I built the scene from what I have.

 

Then for my amusement I will build missions in the Vietnam era using the Marianas or the Caucus' maps. By the way the F14 flyby is at Mach 1+.

Thats cool!

 

I have built a little practice mission where we can take off from Hawkinge and attack the port in Calais. At the same time two flights of Ju88s as well as some Bf109s will attack Dover. Dover has anti air and two flights of Spitfires protecting it.

 

I will slowly add missions that can be spawned by radio to make it more flexible.

 

@Custard in the 633 squadron homage I added the theme music, it kicked in after a few minutes at the beginning of the flight. For me, at least, it served to raise my heckles ready for the mission. But after a few attempts it only served to irritate. When you feel up to it I will take you on the mission and add the music back. With that said I often hear these great musical themes in my minds ear when I am messing around with the mission editor.

I have been working on the Channel WW2 training mission.

 

I have added every WW2 flyable plane in a cold and dark state at Manston, which is also the biggest runway to practice on.

 

B17s from Biggin Hill will attack St Omer Longuenesse where jerry thinks he can hold a parade. You can escort these bombers, if you can catch up with them.

Flights of JU88s are thought to be on the way from Northern France to attack various target in southern England

We have one flight of Spitfires patrolling the Channel

Potential targets thought to be en route include E Boats targeting Folkestone or Dover, a Flight of FW190s targeting the Dover Chain Home RADAR  plus a flight of BF109s looking to strafe Hawkinge airfield and a jerry Convoy attempting the channel dash from the Atlantic.

enjoying the channel mission - even if my kill to death ratio is a little scewed (although to be fair - I keep loosing my engine rather than being killed).

 

Lots of fun Zeno thanks - I'll try hitting the shipping convoy next!
