Gosh, has anything happened recently which might shorten fuses round here...?! I agree, good call @Scoobyon and co - much better to have a decent flyable Lanc in the skies where she belongs than in perpetual 'two weeks, be sure' due to tertiary systems. I'm sure an awful lot of people will spend far more time in the start up proceedures (no pressure on your sound guy!) and in the circuit than they ever will over the target at 03.30, angels 25, on an overcast flak-lit night wishing they had access to more experimental blind bombing equipment to take up their mental capacity...! Gotta give us monkies time to learn to fly the old girl first

I had noticed Thanks to you and @Rudel_chw for the continued effot to keep the mod up to date and useful to the community

Ricockulously excited by each update, thanks for sharing. I finally caught up with Masters of the Air (what a 'kin waste of all that time, money and effort), and afterwards stumbled across this, rather more intetesting, series. Now looking forward very much to the Lanc, and the chance to understand a little bit better what those stupidly brave young men went through. All power to your elbows, godspeed!

"Two weeks, be sure"TM

I was looking at their stuff the other day, getting excited for the Mossie throttle too, and also thought this...but had a closer look at what the kits provide, the amount of support available, the Youtube vids etc etc etc and now think I was wrong. For sure it's a bit of effort, and needs to be viewed as a sort of mini-game within the hobby, but that's no bad thing at all. It would also be immensely satisfying. Is it plug and play? No. Is that an issue? Honestly I no longer think so - I think anyone could put the kits together!

Understood, thanks

@Rudel_chw of course! You're a star. @Fresh Ah cool, user error is a great solution! Thanks, and for the icons also Those little quality-of-life upgrades make a big difference to those crucial first minutes with a new community (or any!) module. Woop woop, *salute* EDIT: Ah, sorry, having reread the above post and opened up DCS I see wires have got crossed. I could always see the two familiarization flights in Instant Action. What I can't see are the training missions referred to in the .lua but not present in the download.

@Fresh, the T45 folder structure: ...\VNAO_T45\Missions\EN\QuickStart That folder contains some .miz mission files and quickstart.lua, which I assume chats to DCS and tells it what mission files to use: -- {name = _('Cold Start'),file = 'VNAO_T45_COLDSTART.miz',}, -- {name = _('Free Flight'),file = 'VNAO_T45_FREEFLIGHT.miz',}, -- {name = _('Takeoff'),file = 'VNAO_T45_TAKEOFF.miz',}, -- {name = _('Carrier Takeoff'),file = 'VNAO_T45_CARRIER_launch.miz',}, -- {name = _('Case 1 Carrier Landing'),file = 'VNAO_T45_Case_I_Carrier_Landing.miz',}, -- {name = _('ILS Landing'),file = 'VNAO_T45_ILS_LANDING.miz',}, {name = _('T45 Familiarization Day'),file = 'T45_Familiarization_Day.miz',}, {name = _('T45 Familiarization Night'),file = 'T45_Familiarization_Night.miz',} However, only the familiarization flight .miz files are present. No biggy, just would be useful to know where the discrepancy has crept in.

Just downloaded - easy, quick and simple. Fired up DCS to give it a quick spin - looks ace, handles a dream, well done VNAO. Ten points for continued support too, it makes a big difference However...\DCS\Mods\aircraft\VNAO_T45\Missions\EN does not contain the training mission files which the .lua refers to. Did my download skip a beat, or are training missions no longer included? /paging @Rudel_chw...

Just a quick note to congratulate Polychop - because they decided to double down on support and updates for the Gazelle, they've made one more sale. It's my first paid DCS module. Although I've flown a fair bit in the sim over the years, I've only recently had time to dedicate myself to learning a platform properly. Between the included modules and the increasingly excellent community modules (if you haven't got the OV-10 Bronca, H-60 family or the outstanding A4 then you're missing out, they're brilliant!) I had plenty to keep me busy. However, the commitment shown by Polychop to support the Gazelle and the huge improvements they have made to it seemed worth celebrating. So, cheers PC, well done and keep it up! Tonker

Discord is your best bet. I'm unable to get into Discord at the mo, but have a couple of queries too so please do let us know if you manage to make contact. FWIW my file path is .../DCS/mods/aircraft/DCS-SK60-Mod-1.2/Sounds. Only the one folder, capitalised. Seems to have installed correctly, although I am having some minor issues with inputs (particularly cockpit lighting rotaries) and the head-tracking menu not picking up the output from OpenTrack. Regardless, an excellent aircraft (it's really beautiful to look at and great fun to fly), and @Rudel_chw's full set of training missions* are highly recommended. *https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329082/

Just ran through the missions - useful as ever, all working well and a great way into the SK60. Thanks again!

Hi @Rudel_chw, thanks for these, you're a huge asset to the 'community module'...well, community! I was holding off on the SK60 until the FM update which dropped a couple of days ago, and it's downloading right now I note it includes your Taxi/Takeoff and Landing/shutdown tutorials already. Does it miss out the weapons tutorials because they rely on the Range Objects Mod? Looking forward to getting stuck in

Well named with that empty cockpit - spooky! 'kin stunning pics, the hype train accelerate

Then keep up the good work!
