The reveal was worth the wait, it think it lived up to everything we hoped for!

Exciting times, my friends! Not much longer now!

POLLING IS CLOSED! Thank you to all that voted- we have our winners! An official announcement will follow this evening! BadHabit & Karambiatos, if you would be so kind as to send me a PM with your email (if you haven't already contacted me by email) we can get the ball rolling on things! Congradulations!

Oh come on now, really?

Hello Carrs I will look into adding another shot or two for each entry, however I want to avoid having the original post become too large, so with that in mind I welcome all contestants to post as many additional screen shots as they like to talk up their skins and pull for votes! :)

Thanks for the votes so far! This post will be reserved for the winner announcement on 11-25-16

Ah, I slacked off and didn't meet my own deadline :( LOL Voting is open! Link to thread on first post. Good luck all! Before it is asked, the Spitfire is on the table for your prize module of choice! :)

ATTENTION DCS COMMUNITY! The following entries are the finalist for the Grudge Match Series: F-5 Vs. MiG 21 Official Livery!

Uh oh- being a big VR user that is sad news for me :(

While we wait for this function to be fixed- may I suggest you check out Ciribob's outstanding CTLD script? I love it and it will give you the ability to do transport missions

ATTENTION! The contest submission period closes tonight at Midnight, CST, USA! Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted so far! Tomorrow the community voting will begin, I look forward to the results! If you have a last minute submission, 8 hours remain! :) Good luck!

As a modder myself I can report that the AIM-9, or any missile that the Mirage did not come with can no longer work, due to changes in the binaries and how the PCA interfaces with weapons in the sim. There may be some very complex way to make it happen, but I personally do not know of any way.

ATTENTION Due to multiple requests and changes to Grudge Match Round 3 projected dates, I am EXTENDED the skinning contest until 11/18/2016! More information coming to first post soon. We will use this time to promote and maybe see a few more submissions- I might even shoot one in myself :) Thank you for your patience, I am working on an additional prize to compensate for all the extensions!

Generally, and if I understand correctly, bonus points aren't redeemable on brand new releases due to their being a preorder discount- I'll differ to a moderator or someone who may know better but IIRC I've never been able to redeem bonus points on a new release purchase

Hey guys, for some reason this template (Version 4.7) seems to be missing the rivets layer in Paint.net... Unsure why.. Here is what it looks like. I have all the proper PSD plugin and all other templates seem to work great Anyone know what I am missing?

Good to hear! Current contest end day is 7 November still, unless I get word to run another extension! Looking forward to it Carss!

Got my 1080 Day before! Feel the power!!! Loving it with the Rift

Great work man! This is something I was wanting to do for awhile- now if we could only find a way to get the AT-2 Swatter MCLOS working!

Thanks! We really appreciate it :)

Hello all, with no complaints we have extended the contest submissions date, please see the first post! Hope to see more submissions :)

So can the nay Sayers against LNS release strategy now agree that it was worth it? LOL

FWIW Razbam I was a Flight Engineer in CH-47Ds, and should be able to share a lot of info and materials on the chopper should Razbam ever decide to move forward. The CH-47D (Not F) is prettymuch totally declassified and would fit very well with the other available technology in DCS. It can be armed with 3 gunners (M240H, M-134A, M2 .50) and has a useful hook load of about 26,000 lbs, so you would need to expand on the sling loading in the sim to actually being able to life something like a Humvee to be able to fully realize the Chinhooks capability. I think a cargo chopper in DCS could be a lot of fun if the cargo functions were expanded, such as expanded troop transport systems. If you ever did do a CH-47, including the ACH-47A, also know as the Guns-a-go-go Chinooks would be incredible. Those choppers are legendary in the Chinook community. They were four armored and very heavily armed Chinook Gunships that served in Vietnam. While making only those variety as a module might be a little too oddball, including them in the CH-47 module would be EPIC! If you ever have any interest in this I would be glad to help out however possible- just shoot me a PM!

Hello all, Just be advised we are considering extended the deadline a bit to facilitate a few more entries, since Round 3 is still about a Month or more out. If any of the current contestants have an issue with that, please voice it with me via PM! We really appreciate the entries so far

@Ciribob Regarding the Combined Arms Radio- yes the audio works great in preview and I can even be heard by aircraft, and talk and hear other CA players, but I cannot hear aircraft transmissions for some reason
