These are my first two missions that I ever made for DCS World. Both use DCS:Huey module and the player flies the UH-1H posing as a Canadian CH-146 Griffon with the objective of rescuing POWs located in enemy POW camps but in each mission this objective is accomplished in a different manner as detailed below. POW Rescue: In this mission the player will have to insert a team of special forces inside the enemy POW camp, while providing cover during the insertion since the camp is guarded by several enemy guards armed with AKs. POW Rescue 2: In this mission the player will have to escort and provide cover for a pair of Chinook helicopter which will deploy two groups of Special Forces at an enemy compound with the objective of rescuing POWs located there. The purpose of this thread for discussion, problems/issues reporting and general feedback. I hope you enjoy these missions and of course any feedback is always welcome. EDIT (22-10-2014): Uploaded new versions of these missions with some minor changes based on feedback given here in this thread. I want to take this chance to thank you all for the feedback. And please continue to give me your feedback. Changelog list: POW Rescue (1): - Added the possibility for the player to be able to equip 1 Minigun on the left door mount (in alternative to a M60 Machine Gun). Note that the default weapon loadout is still 2 door mounted M60s. POW Rescue 2: - Reduced the default fuel loadout from 80% to 50% (there was no need for such a large fuel loadout in this mission) Download the missions here: Mission Area

Recently I purchased DCS Huey (during the last Autumn Sale) and I must say that this definitely my favourite DCS module! Thanks for this great module! I don't know if this is the right thread but I would like to request/wish the following: I wish/would like to have a Canadian CH-146 Griffon (Bell 412) module. I'm asking this here because of the following reasons: - The CH-146/Bell 412 belongs to the Huey family. - Since the CH-146/Bell 412 belongs to the same family many things that are already modeled in the current DCS UH-1H could "easily" be ported into a CH-146/Bell 412 module, stuff like for example: door mounted machine guns such as the Miniguns, the cockpit and cabin layout are very similar (albeit some instruments are different), crew arrangement (2 pilots and 2 gunners seated on the same place), crew management menu, the "auto-pilot" menu/features. I could be wrong but flight and damage models in general are probably very similar between both helicopter models and also making changes from the current UH-1H 3D model in order to look like a CH-146/Bell 412 would be much easier than making a new CH-146/Bell 412 model from scratch, isn't it? - I believe that the CH-146/Bell 412 would be a great addition because it's a quite modern helicopter (a bit opposed to the UH-1H which is starting to get old and being phased out) and it's not only in use within the Canadian Forces, but it's also used in other nations modeled in DCS such as Italy (where it's one of the Army's main utility helicopters), Norway, Netherlands and even in the UK (albeit here, in training roles only). I would also like to request the following which can be related or not to the point mentioned above (CH-146/Bell 412): Please, add to the list of available door mounted machine gun the GAU-21/M3M .50 cal heavy machine gun to the DCS:UH-1H :)

I recently decided to install and try DCS World and I'm really enjoying flying with the SU-25T. I also decided to take a look into DCS World mission editor and since this thread is about "Mission Editor Features Request Wishlist" I would like to request the following improvements/updates on the object database in the mission editor: - I noticed that Canada only has the following armour: Leopard 1, M113 and LAV25. But in reality Canada also has the Leopard 2 tank and one of my suggestion is that the Leopard 2 be added to Canada's armour list. Also regarding Canada's armour I even suggest adding the Stryker ICV in order to model the LAVIII with RWS (equipped with the Nanuk RWS) and the ATGM Stryker in order to model the LAVIII TUA. Also regarding this, I would also like to suggest adding the Chinook to Canada's helicopter list, just like in the real world. And of course make the appropriate improvements/updates on other countries database where applicable.
