Recommended Posts

Steve Davies! on here!! wow!!! :worthy:

 

Thanks for the info and sharing your photo's there. Awesome stuff, and you guy's are selling the NTTR Pre-Purchase for $39.99! it's gotta be worth more than that surely (already pre-ordered the first day!:D ).

 

I just missed out on a Red Flag while I was in the RAF (ground crew), the Squadron I was on were due to take part and I got posted!! :( always regretted that, Nellis was the best detachment going at the time.

 

Looking forward to going in a virtual world :thumbup:

 

PS.......Steve, your Red Eagles book is simply awesome, I must have read it 4 times now!!

Quick Question...Are the Red Flag missions single player only?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you :helpsmilie:.

 

I spent a few years beta testing for ED, so they're all buried the other side of whatever permissions structure the forum has. As a mere mortal now, not even I can access them!

 

Hehe :lol: Yeah, :D Exactly what I thought: those went to some non public/closed forum pages

...and that's why I put there the BigGrin smiley ;)

Atop the midnight tarmac,

a metal beast awaits.

To be flown below the radar,

to bring the enemy his fate.

 

HAVE A BANDIT DAY !

...like I couldn't wait for NTTR before!!!

 

Watching all those aircraft in the mix on that tacview video sure does make me think that we need the ATC fixed ASAP so it isn't the immersion killer is is now, rather adds to the immersion that we can already see from NTTR videos (although I did and still would vote for Dynamic Campaign as the next major feature for ED to tackle - we know though that they have been working on the ATC again of late.)

 

Thanks for the videos and background info. All very interesting.

Thanks for the feedback, Bart!

 

...you guy's are selling the NTTR Pre-Purchase for $39.99! it's gotta be worth more than that surely (already pre-ordered the first day!:D ).

 

Just for clarification, I don't work for ED or have any involvement in the sales of their products!

 

PS.......Steve, your Red Eagles book is simply awesome, I must have read it 4 times now!!

 

Great to hear it! Did you get the first or the second edition? :thumbup:

Hey Steve

 

Great to see you posting again old friend. long time to hear from! (the Fighter Ops days seem like forever ago)

 

Stang out

 

Hey, Stang

 

Great to see you still posting here, albeit as infrequently as me! And thanks for your continued support :thumbup:. Yes, the FighterOps days seem like a lifetime ago. Where does the time go?

 

From next year, it is likely that I will have a regular column in CA. As for right now, I'm writing a two-part article for Combat Aircraft on F-35 IOT&E, so expect that in the Jan or Feb edition.

 

Take care.

Hey when was this ? My timezone is +5:30 India . I have Nevada and the F-15.

 

You should have received an email by now if you have subscribed to the newsletter, if you haven't, then go to your account here and check the box to subscribe so you won't miss anything and won't have to look here for the info. This was the last one sent out this past Friday:

 

Header.jpg F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign Available

 

Starting today, the F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign is available for purchase and download from: F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign

Note that this campaign requires ownership of either Flaming Cliffs 3 or F-15C for DCS World, along with the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. For those that pre-purchased the Nevada map and elected to receive this map for free, you will now be able to activate this campaign from the DCS World 2.0 Module Manager.

F-15C-Red-Flag-Campaign-2.jpg

The F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign is a depiction of flying the F-15C Eagle during a typical Red Flag exercise in the skies over Nevada. This campaign includes extensive briefing, map, and lineup card PDF files for each mission and was designed in consultation with the renowned author Steve Davies, the authority on the F-15C.

All of the missions are based on input from real F-15C pilots that have flown in Red Flag exercises and will provide you a challenge that will test even the most skilled virtual pilots.

Video:

F-15C-Red-Flag-Campaign.jpg

F-15C and Nevada Map Bonus Event

 

To kick off the release of the new F-15C Red Flag campaign, we are offering you 50% off both modules using available bonus points. This bonus event will run Friday, January 15th at 1500 GMT and lasting until Monday, January 18th at 0900 GMT.

Purchase from: F-15C for DCS World and DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map Update

 

We continue working on improvements to the Nevada map that includes fixing bugs and implementing new features. The following will be available in the coming months:

 

  • Add Tonopah Air Force Base
  • Add additional casino/hotels to the Las Vegas strip
  • Add additional airfields and landing strips to the central (detailed) portion of the map
  • Add the National Training Center (NTC)
  • Improved grass and ground clutter
  • Other smaller improvements

When these additional features are added and the module is final, the cost of the map will likely increase. However, these new features will be free to those that already own the map.

Sincerely,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

I don't claim to be a video guy, but this might help to get some of you in the mood. :pilotfly:

1) Great video....lots of blood flow. Its scary how DCS 2.0 resembles the real thing.

2) I've flown a few missions in the F15 campaign and so far I've enjoyed it very much....bear in mind, I'm not a single mission player....I love MP. I would highly recommend the campaign for the Eagle drivers out there.

3) Did someone mention, candy?
