Thank you very much for your feedback. It is by far the best motivation to keep going. Even places where you may have made a mistake yourself are important for me to know because I will try to change this so that the same thing doesn't happen to others. Hopefully, the new STORMFRONT campaign will come with the next DCS update. Unfortunately, ED is holding back a lot of information. But to give you an in-depth insight, here is the manual and mission description link. https://1drv.ms/b/s!AkppisrNhrEQiXQTM0yFb02W8vkh?e=f5trMy I would also like to invite you to visit us in the BLACK ANGELS helicopter squadron. We are happy to welcome guests and new members. You can get information about this in the Helicopter Meeting Point thread or simply contact me directly. We are based in Europe, currently UTC +1

The BLACK ANGELS in 2024 After consultation, a short training session is scheduled, and the lead has decided to land in a confined space followed by a helicopter attack. We are very proud of how we can quickly integrate even absolute beginners with fun and professional training. Seeing how the flying training, tactics, and group work pays off is even more fun. Have you got curious? Then come and fly with us. BLACK ANGELS DISCORD: https://discord.gg/aqwzv2P DISCORD of Low-Level Heaven:https://discord.gg/CXCA7rf

@Simonster83 This is the problem described above. We fixed it weeks ago, but ED released the hotfix without it. It should be in the January update. I don't know your flying skills, but if you need any help,feel free to contact me. Just yesterday, 30 minutes of flight training for mission three were given. Landing in confined areas. Mission 2 is mainly transport. There is some information on skipping a task within the mission if you break a cargo. You can find it in the Documents folder. Depending on your time zone, I like to invite you to the Black Angels Squd. Always happy landings.

Счастливого Рождества и благословенных праздников. Желаю всем вам здоровья, успехов и мира. Я знаю, что это не только из-за часовых поясов, но я был бы счастлив, если бы тот или другой оказался в нашей вертолетной группе (Black Angels) в 2024 году. Мы говорим по-английски, кто-то более, а кто-то менее хорошо, но это не помеха. BLACK ANGELS DISCORD: https://discord.gg/aqwzv2P Team Speak: IP 207.180.224.31

Please don't confuse realistic with "military = use of weapons." Especially where there is a lot of fighting, realism is usually sought in vain. Even in Worlds Apart SPRING 2025, the shooting missions are mainly about not getting hit and still carrying out the actual transport mission. Only in 2 out of 11 missions is there an active attack to destroy. According to current planning, the Mi-8 campaign will also largely get by without the active use of weapons.

@LuseKofte You find it there http://www.gamesfromhell.com/DCS/

I can't argue with that either, and you did a great job with I LOVE THIS JOB, and you delivered a civilian campaign for DCS that I can only recommend to everyone. I would be happy if DCS would offer a little more space for the purely civilian campaign. What you need as MOD for your campaign would be part of DCS. This would not influence the main program in any way but would certainly expand the market. But, there is always a but. The police in the USA are no less armed than the army and make heavy use of it. But as you have proven, you can get by without weapons. I myself see it more as an additional strategic level and not as a normalization or even glorification of violence. In addition to controlling the aircraft, maintaining an overview of a complex situation is a challenge in itself. But like you, I also invest a lot of time and effort in the new update to divide challenges into digestible morsels for as many people as possible. For my wife, I'm a hero when I take the garbage outside without being asked, and rightly so, because it takes me almost superhuman strength to do this. It's always in the eye of the beholder.

The Trigger " PART OF COALITION IN ZONE" is broken. It only works if you choose an airplane, helicopter, or ground force. If it is set to ALL, the trigger is active even if there is no unit in the zone. :thinking:

Здравствуйте, Я знаю, что для большинства из вас Рождество наступит 7 января. Тем не менее, я хочу пожелать всем вам счастливых и мирных дней и счастливого Нового года. Я также хотел бы поблагодарить вас за ваши отзывы и поддержку, которую я уже получил.

There is a high chance of using the Doppler and flying from the right seat. But in my opinion and according to my demands Roles will change from the beginning. Nothing prevents the pilots from switching seats on prior agreements. And pilot flying may be the guy on the right no problem with that. In fact, this is actually a realistic scenario. I see a ton of work ahead.

Don't worry, as I said I look forward to every contribution and discussion. Every opinion is welcome. And nothing is worse than nobody being interested. In the end, criticism helps you move forward and ensures that your work continues to develop. On the one hand, of course, I want to attract attention, but on the other, I don't want to raise false expectations. We all know that. We watch a trailer and are excited, only to be disappointed by the movie itself. e.g. NAPOLEON Precisely because many people are looking for light entertainment in DCS, it's important to know what to expect. Your feedback is very important to me because I try to take it into consideration. With a little effort, it is also possible to let the player go through the checklist, or alternatively to use autostart. In my UH-1 campaigns, I had feedback on shutdown. After startup, according to the checklist, the missions were actually finished after landing, and this player wanted to shut down the aircraft at the end as well. I made this possible. Today, you can end the mission after landing, or it ends by itself when the battery is switched off after shutdown. I didn't do it for him, but because he was right. If I value the start procedure, I can't ignore the end. Sometimes, you need somebody from the outside to gain insides. So please don't hold back with your comments and reactions. The ending with the flower pots wasn't because I felt attacked but because I was supposed to be a comedian.

Please don't misunderstand me, but I'm happy about the discussion. It motivates me, and I am also very grateful for different opinions and suggestions. And, of course, you are right; the Mi-8 works almost perfectly in DCS, and there are no technical problems. The problem is me—my very personal demand. You may not care about switching between seats or flipping switches that are out of the pilot's reach. There is no problem using the mouse in DCS. But I do care, and if it can be avoided, I will do it as much as possible. Whether you consider it necessary or not is relatively irrelevant to me. Also, in Spring 2025 and STORMFRONT, there were hundreds of hours of work on little things that nobody had noticed or would be missed, but I would, and that's the only thing that really matters to me. Sorry to say that so openly. I hope you like my work, but if not? That's life; there is no reason not to be friends. And yes, some campaign creators don't see it that way and offer relatively easy-to-create missions that are more or less easy to fulfill, some scripted from start to finish with excellent voiceovers and atmosphere independent of the model. This allows you to create campaigns across the model range, as the module is only the carrier for the packaging. I must first familiarize myself with the Mi-8, which will take several hundred hours. I've already been working on the extensive checklist alone for several weeks. Of course, there will also be a simple one. That's not a criticism; on the contrary, they probably match the taste of most players in DCS and do a great job, especially from a business point of view. Of course, I also want as many people as possible to enjoy my work, but as far as the style and standards are concerned, only one standard counts. First and foremost, it has to be how I want it to be, as close as possible to the real thing, on the ground and in the air. The seats are not changed, and the pilot on the left does not switch batteries, inverters, or even the exterior lighting on and off. I also like good voiceovers, but they don't have this significance for me. And without wanting to offend anyone, many people consider TopGun a realistic representation of reality regarding voiceovers. Yes, jet jockeys flying under drugs and adrenaline sometimes let off steam, but the one who keeps a cool head usually survives. You may be surprised at how little emotionally charged American English is actually understood by many people. Even those who think they can speak and understand English quickly reach their limits. If this were not the case, text overlays would be unnecessary and annoying. Once again, which is also why I communicate this so openly: it's perfectly fine to have different opinions and demands; my approach and priorities may differ. For the player to be able to follow the mission, a lot of guidance and explanation is needed, packed as realistically as possible into the communication in the cockpit and with stations outside. This forces me to make compromises not only because of skill and recourses, e.g., with the voiceovers, which I hope are still good, but they will probably never sound as good as they do in other campaigns. On the other hand, Spring 2025 has a French and German localization and German voiceovers, and the Mi-8 campaign will get a Russian localization. I look forward to your feedback and criticism. But even better about suggestions and support, because what many may not be aware of. Campaign creators are a one-man show with more or less support and do this mostly besides their real jobs. So, thank you for the flowers, but would you please remove the flower pots before you throw them.

Hello to all friends of helicopter flying and, of course, to all those who are not yet ready. Christmas is just around the corner, and a turbulent 2023 is ending. I would like to thank all of you who have accompanied and supported us this year. For all the praise, but also the constructive criticism. Special thanks to everyone who helped with translation, voiceovers, mission testing, graphics and more. Unfortunately, the new STORMFRONT campaign didn't make it under the Christmas tree, but that's life. We did our part, but the decision was up to ED. We also already have something to look forward to in 2024. As already announced, our next project will be a Mi-8 campaign, which is not expected to happen within 2024. I know it's hard sometimes, but people tend to be generous in big things, while we tend to be petty in small things. In 2024, I will remain true to myself and focus more on content and less on packaging. The aim is to make the campaigns as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, even if they are demanding. This may mean a compromise or two in areas that are less important to me, but without the use of AI, for example, countless voiceovers and different localizations are not feasible, either in terms of effort or cost. I would like to draw the attention of all those who would like to fly online in a relaxed group to our helicopter squadron(localized in Europe), the BLACK ANGELS. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/244549-black-angels-low-level-heaven/ I would like to invite everyone who is looking for a group to fly together or just for help and training. Just come and visit us at the training times on TS and fly with us. There are no minimum requirements apart from having fun. You can contact me or DISCORD directly for a preliminary briefing and F&Q. So here is some more information for you. We fly or tolerate all helicopter types There are no requirements for participation in training or missions. We emphasize helicopter-specific flying skills, but those who do not want to train and regularly mark their land attempts with black smoke during the missions are just as welcome as those who only train. Our average age is around 40-45 Our members are all extremely helpful, and some really enjoy helping others. And not just at Christmas. We meet on five evenings a week with a wide variety of members. Anyone with the time and inclination comes, no matter when or how often. Monday and Tuesday, we only fly missions. Wednesday and Thursday, we train from 20:00 to 21:00 (Central European Time). After that, we usually switch to the mission until about 22:00 (open end). On Saturdays, we do whatever we feel like doing or what someone has planned. We have a very, very high fluctuation, which should not put you off; on the contrary, we are used to pilots coming by to get help and expand their skills and then continue on their own or take what they have learned to the professionals. For some, we are simply not cool enough , and even if the first impression is deceptive, we are not organized militarily tightly enough. Officially, there can be "only one," but other opinions are also accepted as long as they agree with mine. This brings us to almost the most important point. We meet because we enjoy what we do and want to learn together. A little humor can't hurt. It's amazing that we have so many Northern Lights in the group from this point of view. So, if you are still looking to join us in 2023 or 2024, we welcome everyone; consideration is one of our main characteristics. Monday and Wednesday, we speak mainly German and consider those who speak little or no English. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, we speak mainly English and are considerate of those who don't speak German. But all evenings are open to everyone. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, a peaceful holiday, and a Happy New Year 2024.

I would like to thank all of you who have accompanied and supported us this year and those who have only paid us a brief visit in the season or simply followed our messages. My special thanks to the hard core of the group (I won't mention any names, so I can't forget anyone) who actively supported me with mission building, skins, and leadership. Without you, none of this would be possible. I would also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone who is looking for a group to fly together or just for help and training.

Weihnachten steht vor der Tür und ein Turbulentes 2023 geht seinem Ende zu. Ich möchte mich bei euch allen bedanken, die Ihr uns auch in diesem Jahr begleitet und unterstützt habt. Aber auch bei all jenen die uns in der Staffel nur einen kurzen Besuch abgestattet oder einfach nur unseren Mitteilungen folgen. Meinen besonderen Dank an den harten Kern der Gruppe (Ich werde keine Namen nennen, dann kann ich auch keinen vergessen) die Ihr mich mit Missionsbau, Skins und Führung tatkräftig unterstützt. Ohne euch wäre das alles nicht zu schaffen. Auch ein großes Danke an die Tigermercs mit denen wir eine Große Gemeinschaft und super Miteinander haben. Die glauben zumeist zwar immer noch der Apache wäre ein Hubschrauber ….. Das erste Tigermeet 2023 war eine super Erfahrung und ein großer Erfolg. Es hat riesig Spaß gemacht euch Bekloppte alle persönlich kennen zu lernen und wir freuen uns auf die Fortsetzung in 2024. Ich möchte die Gelegenheit aber auch nutzen um alle die eine Gruppe für gemeinsames Fliegen oder aber auch nur Hilfe und Training suchen einzuladen. Kommt uns doch einfach zu den Trainingszeiten auf TS besuchen und fliegt mit. Außer Spaß an der Sache gibt es keine Mindestvoraussetzungen. Gerne könnt Ihr euch für eine vorab Einweisung und F&Q direkt bei mir oder im DISCORD melden. Daher hier nochmals einige Informationen für euch: Wir fliegen oder dulden alle Hubschrauber Muster Es gibt keine Voraussetzungen für die Teilnahme am Training oder den Missionen. Wir legen zwar Wert auf Hubschrauber spezifisches fliegerisches Können, wer allerdings nicht trainieren möchte und in den Missionen seine Landversuche regelmäßig mit schwarzem Rauch markiert ist dennoch genau so willkommen, wie jene die nur zum Training erscheinen. Unser Altersdurchschnitt liegt bei ca. 40-45 Unsere Mitglieder sind alle ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und manche haben richtiggehend Spaß daran andern zu helfen. Und das nicht nur zu Weihnachten. Wir treffen uns in unterschiedlichster Zusammensetzung an 5 Abenden die Woche. Wer Zeit und Lust hat kommt, egal wann und egal wie oft. Montag und Dienstag wird nur Mission geflogen. Mittwoch und Donnerstag wird von 20:00 bis 21:00.Uhr unterschiedlichstes trainiert. Danach wechseln wir in der Regel zur Mission. Samstag tun wir wozu wir Lust haben oder was jemand geplant hat. Wir haben eine sehr, sehr hohe Fluktuation, was euch nicht abschrecken soll sondern im Gegenteil, wir sind es gewohnt das Piloten vorbei schauen sich helfen lasen und Ihre Fähigkeiten Erweitern um dann wieder alleine weiter zu machen oder mit dem Gelernten zu den Profis überlaufen. Für einige sind wir schlicht nicht cool genug und auch wenn der erste Eindruck täuscht nicht stramm genug militärisch organisiert. Zwar kann es offiziell bei uns „nur einen Geben“ aber andere Meinungen werden auch akzeptiert sofern sie mit der meinen übereinstimmen. Wobei wir beim fast wichtigsten Punkt sind. Wir treffen uns, weil wir Spaß an der Sache haben und auch gemeinsam lernen möchten. Etwas Humor kann dabei nicht schaden. Erstaunlich das wir unter diesem Gesichtspunkt so viele Nordlichter in der Gruppe haben. Also, solltet Ihr noch 2023 oder 2024 bei uns reinschauen, wir freuen uns über jeden und Rücksicht ist eine unserer Haupteigenschaften. Montag und Mittwoch sprechen wir überwiegend Deutsch und nehmen Rücksicht auf jene die kein oder nur wenig Englisch sprechen. Dienstag Mittwoch und Samstag sprechen wir überwiegend Englisch und nehmen Rücksicht auf alle die kein Deutsch sprechen. Aber alle Abende sind für alle offen. Ich wünsche allen Mitgliedern und Freunden ein Frohes Fest, friedliche Feiertage und einen guten Rutsch nach 2024.

Already in STORMFRONT, we are supported by EightBall with liveries for various vehicles. For STEPPENWOLF, we will use several of his works for even more immersion and make them available as part of the campaign with his kind permission. However, there is no reason for you to wait that long. His work is freely available for download on the ED website. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Eight-Ball/apply/

SORRY Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, our new campaign for the UH-1 STORMFRONT is not part of the December update. We have neither influence on nor information about a release date. This is entirely up to ED, and they will have their reasons. So, you and I can only hope that it will be published in January 2024. Malheureusement, comme vous l'avez peut-être remarqué, notre nouvelle campagne pour le UH-1 STORMFRONT ne fait pas partie de la mise à jour de décembre. Nous n'avons aucune influence ni aucune information sur la date de sortie. Cela dépend entièrement d'ED et ils auront leurs raisons. Ainsi, vous et moi ne pouvons qu'espérer qu'elle sera publiée en janvier 2024. Leider, wie Ihr sich ist unsere Neue Kampagne für die UH-1 STORMFRONT nicht Teil des Updates im Dezember. Wir haben weder Einfluß auf, noch Information über einen Veröffentlichungstermien. Dies liegt ganz allein bei ED und dort wird man seine Gründe haben. Mir wie euch bleibt also nur zu hoffen, dass es im Januar 2024 soweit sein wird.

This is possible in DCS, but does not correspond to the actual procedure. To fly the mission, you still have to switch to the pilot or co-pilot seat. That's okay if there's no other way. If the co-pilot has an itchy ear, he is sure to scratch it himself and not leave it to the crew chief. So expect that as a pilot you will only have the tasks that correspond to your position. (Of course, only as far as I can manage this in the ME).

Further tests have shown that it is probably related to the previous DCS updates. A version of the mission, saved in the current DCS version, passed the test without any further changes, and the problem no longer occurs there. This may also be the reason why we can't reproduce the problem. The problem should, therefore, be resolved with the next mission update. However, the workaround remains included for safety reasons. Unfortunately, I can't say if it will be part of the next beta update because the official deadline for this has already passed.
