The official trailer is out and thanks to the SVT and Dominik is an eye candy. https://youtu.be/MXLBzvKOHig

The Dev team returned to work last week, from what I know, as far as I know it should be included in the next update.

Johnny, if you want I can help you with that. I'd like to see some of the old things being revitalized. And I'm vested in F-5 for other reasons. Send me a PM or something and we can work on a few things.

April 25th, 1978 the USSR Chairman Leonid Brezhnev falls sick and relinquishes the control of the Communist Party. The newly appointed Chairman, Yuri Andropov takes the reigns of the USSR but there is turmoil inside the Communist Party. The party is torn between the partisans for the war in Afghanistan and the factions against it. Andropov opposing the decision to have a military intervention in Afghanistan is losing support and on August 23rd, 1978 a successful Coup d'état removes Andropov from Moscow. The country is torn and on August 30th, Ukraine declares its independence followed by the rest of the USSR regions. On October 15th, 1978 Georgia and Krasnodar declare their independence. In the following weeks, the communist party is trying to regain control of the former Soviet Union. The 127th Motor Rifle Division seized Tbilisi and reinstates the Soviet leadership. The Division continues north towards Krasnodar but due to the long supply lines and the lack of support from the locals the advance stops before crossing the rivers Pshada, Afips, and Bezeps. Under UN intervention, a cease-fire agreement was signed by all factions on December 20th hoping for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The former Soviet provinces voice their concern to the UN about an escalation of the conflict once the USSR troops resupply and the weather permits. The UN agrees to maintain a peacekeeping force in the region of Krasnodar and NATO forces are tasked to deploy. The USSR declares that any foreign troops based on the territory of the Soviet Union are considered hostile. The US president Jimmy Carter fearing a nuclear escalation of the conflict and having low support after the Vietnam War, orders the deployment of a small force formed from elements from the 9th Infantry Division, 6th Cavalry Air Brigade, and a MEU from the 1st Marine Division. You are Major Vanea Gureevich pilot in the 982nd Fighter Aviation Regiment stationed at Sochi. The regiment is involved in providing air support in the emerging conflict, as the winter sets in, the pilots are training hard preparing to fight in the emerging conflict. The Patriotic War to restore the Soviet Union is about to begin…

That's how she flies, This is a full mission on a campaign that's about to be released soon. Long video, but there are some interesting parts.

Great mini campaign. Thanks a lot. Please tell me there's a follow up in the works.

Hi guys, this is a video preview of the first mission. I know, I'm just teasing.

@Jester986 I think that's something ED has to allow and to implement. As far as I know after they are protecting the missions you can't do a whole lot with them. I'll check with them and see what they say. But most likely this will be something that probably will have to be implemented with their Dynamic Campaign engine.

No MP support for this. I don't know if there is a campaign in the store that allows that. But that's something worth looking at. The way the missions are created it wouldn't be hard to implement it. The Mig-21 is in the final versions of testing and tweaking. I'm at the mission 18 out of 25. the Mig-21 will have two sets of voiceovers, Russian and English. I hope that everything will be ready for ED by mid December.

@Bravelink03 sure thing, thanks a lot. I'll send you a PM when there will be enough missions for a test round.

Hello guys, I've been toying around with the idea of making a campaign for AV-8. I put together quite an interesting framework in the Gulf map. My plan is for this to be a 15 mission campaign. The whole thing will happen at the end of August 1992. The world was in a bit of a turmoil back then and the action will happen partially on Tarawa and partially in Sirri island. How you guys feel about that. @RAZBAM_ELMO do you guys have any input on something like this? ​​​​​​​Cheers,

Everything has been sent to ED. The campaign is ready and waiting to be published. As for ETA.... who knows. I've been trying to find out this too. Two weeks maybe? Maybe less, it's complicated, and it's quite a process, a bit more convoluted to my liking, but it is what it is. Thanks for all the patience guys, I hope it won't disappoint.

More singleplayer content is about to be released

WOW. How close you worked with the FAC's during your deployment, and can you describe how they used to operate?

Hi guys, any talented and artistic guys that can help a fellow with a few screenshots? Cheers and thanks,

There's a proper trailer done already. I was hoping that will go on the DCS marketplace when they will put it online. Right now i don't have any ETA in sight and i'm very tempted to launch it on a different platform. If you guys want to see it it is available here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w-hhnCOisHNfqvEonB_kOMPFgnpyQZb2/view?usp=sharing Let me know what you think

The cruel reality is that F5 is not a money maker anymore. Not to the same magnitude of F-18 or F-16 so it will not get as much love as these other modules, and if you corroborate this with the lack of content when it comes to training, campaigns and missions it paints an even grimmer picture. But that's the reality of a lot of software companies now. This is the business model that was adopted pretty much anywhere.

Negative. You can't put a fully made campaign there. The maximum upload size is 100 Mb if i recall correctly. With skins, voiceovers missions, PDF's for planning you are looking at something close to 300 Mb, and this should be a DLC eventually.

Practice and do a BDA after each drop. If your dive parameters are not up to the book you can always adjust your pipper while you dive towards target. This was a practice often used in F-105's or F-4 during Vietnam when the mills where adjusted in the "chute". But you have to have the values in your head to be able to quickly adjust. Also with practice you will be able to drop under your aiming point or over depending on your dive parameters. It takes time to do it, but man, there's no better feeling when you put them wherever you want them to go, or when you take a column of vehicles from one end to the other with a nice bomb run. Beats any CCIP run.

So, you are trying to take off from the SC with the F5? How you gonna kneel it? :music_whistling:

The Black Sea Resolve was ready since February/March. ED has all they need to release it, except maybe time to get it in the queue. Or however that process works. The main reason I created this campaign was the fact that there was no campaign with the module. Maybe one day....

Thanks a lot Rudel. No joy for me. I can't see them in my Mission Editor. I'll have to dig more and see what's wrong.

JGSME compatible? How do I add the B-29 and Tu-4? Cheers, Sorel

I hope so too. Unfortunately this is not a process that i can manage in any way. I've been sitting on this campaign done for close to 3 months now and I think it sucks that I can't make it available to the users faster. Unfortunately I don't have any control in how these things happens on ED side. I'm sure they have a schedule and a way of prioritizing these things. I wish i would know more but I don't. All I can do is wait and bombard them with e-mails every once in a while. So, I guess it will be two weeks for sure. :D
