New Mission for ya! ....and its a Doozy! I have been really trying my hand at getting more elements into the fight. This new mission is along the lines of a Hawg Hunt mission but it has AWACS and some SEAD F16's. I also did some really good Airport Activity on this one. You are assigned to take out Russian Ground Forces, F16's will take out any SAM and AAA. Then the 16's will cover from Air threats as you pound ground targets. AWACS will also be on site to call out any bogeys that may come along. There is a lot of Radio Chatter in this one. Listen for it. What I like about this mission is you can stay off coast and watch your TAD and you can see the whole Air Battle with the 16's and the AAA. Tips: 1. When you hit your Orbit Waypoint turn to the ocean. Counterclockwise and orbit to the left. You will be far enough off the coast not to see the battle with the 16's, but it will be all over your TAD. (I have never seen a busier TAD). You will know that they have destroyed all the AAA threat when they go on station to provide Air Cover. Listen to the AWACS, he will call Bogeys. The F16's will call On station. 2. As Matt mentioned. There is a bug with targets on bridges. You kill a unit crossing a bridge and its instant crashola. I wanted to make the convoy move, but with AI engagement the bridge scenario is a when not an if. So I have them spread out and stationary. It takes a bit away.....but oh well, lets wait for beta 5 on that one. This is a great mission. Spent all Saturday night and Sunday on it. Flown it several times without issue any horrific issues. The only other bug I have noticed is some sound looping. If a 16 pilot tells you Bingo RTB 20 times just turn the radio channel. I have found that stops the bingo call out. Have fun Fellas! This one is very immersible. "SP Southbound REV 01" See initial thread for file!

Single Player Jeff! Its more or less a guided bomb practice mission! ...with some Rocket and Cannon targets tossed it!

Nah they are for the mos part SP. If its an MP it will have MP before mission name. I have been holding off on MP until the final release....more then likely. You can have at them konkussion. If you have some ME knowledge I am sure you can go do it. I am just saving myself the frustration on MP right now! When the final is released I will be cranking them out for sure.

New Mission for ya! This is pretty much a guided bomb mission for practice. Lots of factors, fuel, payload weight, and using your laser to mark targets. Have fun! See initial thread for file.

Not sure Darren! Have to wait and see. I have a pretty good handle on the ME....I think! LOL!!! I will update them if they're a problem. I have some stuff I have been working on, but was waiting for Beta 5 to hit. I guess we got time to do them up in 4 still. I will post a couple more over the weekend!

Mower you dream killer! LOL!!!

I hear they are coming out with a Reality series on that on the NAT GEO channel! "Bears shitting in the woods ....proven fact......or Ancient Greek Mythology!"

Man that would be cool though! Bright light before the blast would probably put you in single digit frames before the explosion. I can only imagine the HDR.lua settings for that one! LOL!!

Yeah I would have to buy it.....the start up procedures alone would be worth it. Can you imagine bringing those engines to life! WOWZA!

Don't get me wrong fellas! I would love to own one, just can't afford to take that kind of risk on one yet. ....and with my luck .....I would get a bad one. It's just written in the stars.

It's a good point you make mtuckner! If you don't expand the community and/or give it some life then what do you get.....canceled future projects. You want another DCS Series you better buy the previous. Take Black Shark. I bought it, flew it for a few hours and its a work of art, it truly is. On that note, I have not very much interest in a Russian Attack Helicopter. I mean no disrespect, it's just not really my cup of tea. I did buy it though for one reason and that is to make sure DCS has a reason to make the next sim. If DCS builds a freegin TU Bear sim, I would buy it for the same reason I mentioned.

Very True konkussion! Plus there is a learning curve to the ME as a whole. I look at some of the stuff I do now to the first mission I put out and and ponder.....why the hell did you do that....WHAT were you thinking? It's all good!

Scoochy you should work for the Government.......my God maybe you already do! LOL!!!

Never felt this way about missions. I am just the guy that BBO's the steaks that came from a great butcher. Although in some ways I see Tyger's point, it takes a lot of time to build a mission, and you put your heart in to it.... you really do! On that note I also feel that if anyone learns something from cutting one of my missions apart and making it better, then so be it, I may learn something in the process myself. This is the reason I post my missions completely unlocked. I can almost guarantee if someone posted my mission saying it was their work a lot on this board would come at them. I could also careless if they did. I build what I like to fly and I toss it up. Fly it don't fly it....it's there if you want it. I mean after all we all want to have good stuff to fly. Like Ma always said, don't be selfish......share your toys. JMHO

Yeah I really like the night stuff too Doc! You have to really pay attention to your instruments. A good buddy of mine use to be a bush pilot out of Vancouver, BC, now retired, he flew Beavers and Otters. He use to tell me whenever he would train a pilot for his instrument rating, he would cover the windshield of the pilot testing. He would be forced to use his instruments. YOU had to trust your gauges. The thought of having to fly that way always intrigued me, and I guess the night missions are a way of getting a taste of that. More on the way. Doing one up now!

I am so glad I waited on this product. I feel for you all on this one. 400 bucks for a piece of equipment with these issues must be so frustrating. I try to hold to my philosophy on flight sim gear that I do when it comes to cars.....never buy the first production run. I am so glad that did on this one!

Thanks Jeff....... Glad you like'em!

I like this one Doc. It's a total head down in the Cockpit mission. You could and should literally fly this mission and never look out the canopy.

Added a new mission. Assigned 4 Bridges and AFAC. Set at midnight with no moon.....brush up on the ol' CDU under IFR conditions! Have Fun!

Before you kick APU power to the jet move your throttles into the forward position and set your freqs. Move your throttles back down and you are ready to go.

I like to use a bird dog. Use your wingy. He will spot targets and call them out. Let him engage a few. Where there's smoke there's fire. Center your TGP (China hat short down), then put your TGP diamond on the smoking target, start looking for things to shoot at. Once you have that first kill on the ground and he is burning and smoking you have a good reference point to fly and to from.

I'm old school Warrior. I uninstall through control panel then use Driver Sweeper and reinstall new drivers. It may be overkill but you only have to do it once. New driver are definitely an improvement. Nothing earth shattering but a tad faster, and a little crisper.

Nvidia Driver Update! For those using Nvidia on 64 bit systems, they have new drivers available. Gonna try them out, will let ya know!

Thanks for the Info! Glad ya liked them!

Good Stuff Forza! I will consider something like that for the next one. MP is a bit touchy right now, but those are some really good ideas! I like to hit a tank or what not when he is crossing the bridge. Then he burns and blocks the bridge at the same time. I have noticed if the bridge is crossing a small river or valley the Units will go around the bridge by crossing river and/or valley. Makes for some fun turkey shoots.
