I always feel like I'm landing on a rubber runway with the WWII birds. The bounces seem really exaggurated.

The training mission with the "remove this from the final version" text is a joke, not a bug; its supposed to say that.

Which the mission should tell you, but it doesn't, so you fumble around frustrated trying to figure out what you are supposed to do.

I would say this is not a DLC quality campaign. The one that comes with the Mi-8 seems much better. But if you just want some more missions to fly for the Mi-8 it has that covered.

Thanks Rotor57, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Secret Squirrel is not going to be happy that you ate her chocolates, and she is a very resourceful lady, so you might want to lay low for a while. Congrats on the no bounce 3 point Mustang landing- not an easy feat and something to be proud of.

I just want the wobbly bit that sticks out the front to wobble again like it used too. I miss it.

That did the trick, thanks for the pro tip!

Awesome feedback, thanks! I put a truck and some cargo on the ramp to try to direct you to my triggered taxi way. Maybe I can redirect the wind to get ATC on board with the plan. I'll start using the filters more in the future for voice overs.

Oh yes I felt it. Huge hit with fog using the latest drivers. Edit-actually it seems like a huge hit fog or not on the ground. All is well up in the air.

Great! Let me know what you think of it after you fly it.

It's Christmas Eve and Santa's sleigh has been shot down by a Grinch squad surface to air missile north of Anapa. His cargo was Christmas presents for all the Russian airbases in the area. Santa has been medevaced and a snow storm is moving in, but those presents still need to be delivered. A single player heavy transport mission (internal not sling-load) in a combat environment during adverse weather conditions, with a Christmas theme. Navigate using the ARC-UD and ARC-9 radios, refuel enroute, have your door gunner at the ready, and save Christmas! Your Mission: Pick up the presents (3000 kg internal cargo) from the crash site, and deliver them to Krymsk, Krasnodar, and Maykop airbases. Grinch squad is active in the area. You have 2 gun pods attached in case you want to shoot something, but it's not required. Your allies will take care of the bad guys at each encounter eventually. You will be landing at 2 different airfields enroute so you can rearm then if you need too. The best part is, you get a cookie at the end. Fully voiced. Jazzy Christmas tunes included, and a little humor. Total mission time approx 2 hours (or longer if you decide to go see the King at mission end). *Installation instructions: Download and place the file in C:/users/(username)/Saved Games/DCS/Missions Mission Download: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2221202/ Helpful YouTube tutorials: Mi8 Radio Naviagation by Deephack: Use of the Mi-8's Doppler system and ARC-9 / ARC-US ADF radios by SocketSeven:

Great video!

I've had 2 very hard landings since the last patch- well more than that, but 2 that I lived and was at an airfield to repair. Both times the tail section broke off. After repairs are complete, the tail section is back and looking good, but when I take off she is almost completely uncontrolable and acts as if there is no tail rudder. It seems like the repair command is not working, even though visually it appears too.

Great! let me know what you think about it after flying it.

Thanks dresoccer4, I'm glad you're enjoying them! The Spitfire edition will be coming soon.

The keybinding ' will bring it up during the mission for you as well.

No, it's a feature! Which makes total sense for all aircraft except sling loading helecopters. Maybe you guys can make the rope cage/uncage (stop swinging) when active pause is on/off.

Great, thanks! I should add this is on the Nevada map version 2.0.4.

Using active pause while in flight with a sling load (200kph with 2000kg cargo) is fatal. You immediatly get the rope snapped message, and then catch on fire and slowly burn to death in a cascade of system failures. I'm guessing the Mi-8 active pauses but the cargo keeps on trucking, swings up and wrecks the helicoptor.

A single player mission experience updated for the P-51, FW 190, BF 109, and now available the F-86 and Mig-15. A multiplayer version including all of these aircraft (2 of each type) is also now available. Mission briefing example (Mustang Edition) You are a civilian pilot contracted by the CIA. Normally they have you flying mysterious cargo around in old prop driven cargo planes, but today they have a special mission for you. A WW2 era American fighter was recently confiscated from a local crime lord who was a WW2 buff and collector. We need it transferred to our team stationed at Kutaisi airfield. It has a couple bombs attached to it and we don't have a qualified crew here to remove it, or an EOD team to dispose of them, so they are going along for the ride with you. Fly the confiscated P-51D and the bombs from Vaziani airfield to Kutaisi airfield. Follow any additional instructions from your handler. Total mission time approx 45 min-1 hour. Cold start from the ramp, take off, navigate using waypoints, land, and taxi to the specified area. Additional instructions will be provided. Includes a ground attack, a story, and a little humor. Fully voiced. *Installation instructions: Download and place the file in C:/users/(username)/Saved Games/DCS/Missions Update 12/2016 Adjusted the wind to get ATC on board with the correct taxiway, blocked the wrong taxiway with a cargo plane, added some theme music, and cleaned up a few minor issues.

You can bring up the kneeboard, page forward/back, mark position which shows your facing, and navigate with that just fine. Follow them in order 2, 3, etc. Not the pro way to do it, but it works.

Agreed- that's a campaign done right. I really enjoyed it.

Death from above!
