^ Yeah, the loggies made the hangars more 'truck friendly' when it became PRB, they also built a big fence across the waterfront, closed the swimming pool and got rid of the dry ski slope that Cowboy10UK mentioned. I tried to find Sassenberg lakes, the Claas tractor factory and the Emstalstadion go-kart track at Harsewinkle, all sadly missing - as is the gym (no loss there!).

Typhoon's close in off boresight ability is also pretty smart, and has suprised some in the merge. Having an HMD is an advantage over F-22, although I believe that fleet is getting or has by now recieved Scorpion (yes, the same as in the DCS A-10C II module).

Just looking for a cockpit English cockpit for the F.1 at the moment. Any idea when we'll get a working one?

Looking forward to the A7, spent some time with a few VA-146 pilots in Oman in the late 1980s, had a few lazy days on the range watching the Sluffs, Intruders and war vacuums bombing targets. The last day was a mass airfield attack on Thumrait, there were Omani Hunters chasing Tomcats, Sluffs chasing Jaguars and Jaguars chasing intruders. In the end I'm pretty sure everything ended up chasing everything a low level, magic!

Nice work Ghostrida9, looks like the 4 sqn site is getting some love. Manschy, wow, looks just like the real thing!

I have the Quest 3 fairly high settings on a i7-6700 with a RTX 4070TI super and 32gb ram and haven't had any issues so far bar a fairly long load time. I've been playing on the 4YA server, so can't speak for single player.

I noticed that the swimming pool just off the main drag isn't there, the gym is missing across the road to the East (no biggie, now demolished), but also 'fluggies/sammis' bar is gone.. And no Mohne Dam!

Looks like there is one in real life just to the West of where the in game one is. Sorry can't help with in game pictures yet. It's just visible under the 'Industriepark Höchst B598 (Siemens AG, Nobian, TÜV)'

Fantastic progress Maestro, I'm really excited for this map as the cold war was very much still on when I was growing up . How's Gutersloh looking?

Home to some AAC units before the move to Gutersloh.

Harrier is great fun and deffinately worth picking up.

Fantastic!

I never saw a vertical takeoff with weapons (with 105 engine), the nearest our guys got was short take off which was pretty impressive. As mentioned above, STO was a unique Harrier party trick, useful for taking off from deployed locations and in the event of war, airfields that had been attacked where the runway(s) was out of action. Aircraft were pretty lightly armed by DCS loadout comparrison, usually some bombs (dumb or PGM), CRV7s or Mavericks, with a pair of fuel tanks, certainly not the 'beast mode' load outs you'll see people using in servers. They did do VTO but only when really lightly loaded, and not all landings were from the hover as there were certain conditions that were suboptimal for this. The newer 107 engine (Same as the 408 in the AV8B+) changed that , and I believe that is the simulated motor in the N/A? Tanking was routinely practiced.
