Campaign updates

[andygg]

Hi there Reflected. Did the campaign updates go forward on today's update as there is no mention of them in the change log by BigNewie?

If there is no mention of them, then no. Maybe in the next one.

That's a pity. I was really looking forward to re-flying the campaigns with the changes. Keep up the great work!

I'm working on a brand new historical DCS P-51D Campaign: Debden Eagles. You will join the 4th Fighter Group and fly missions in the first week after D-day exactly the way they happened in real life.

Great and Thanks! I’ll take it. Just why not something for Dora too?

I think reflected already discussed this. Since the Dora wasn’t operational in Normandy there will be no Dora campaign.

I'm afraid we'll never see Germany map here. Maybe the solution would be the whole World mpa, as it was once given, but I'm afraid by then I'll be a grandfather with poor eyesight .

Ah this is so awesome to see! I was just thinking the other day we have 2 Spit campaigns from ya but only one P-51. I have just started learning the P-51 and am a couple missions into Blue Nose Bastards. 

I will most definitely be very much looking forward to this one!

[Reflected]

After long discussions and deliberations, together with @baltic_dragon  we're happy to announce the name for our upcoming campaigns which will be released together with the Kola map: 

ARCTIC THUNDER

As a reminder: they will be set in 2023, where NATO forces fend off Russian attack against Finland. Many missions will be intertwined which means you will experience the same situation seen from the cockpit of US Viper (Reflected) or Finnish Hornet (BD) as parts of the same strike package - or just flying separate sorties at the same time. 
Release date of course depends on the pace of the development of the map itself, but we're working closely with Orbx to have everything we need for good set of missions implemented at the release. Stay tuned for more information!

Regarding Kola, please tell me that you are considering a Tomcat mid-80s cold war gone hot scenario after Arctic Thunder. Set in the winter, giving off "Hunt for the Red October" vibes.

...or Red Storm Rising!

Let me tell you about a game changing update coming to all of my campaign missions. Credit goes to Sedlo!

Auto update next OB release?

[Reflected]

yes

[Reflected]

Let me show you a cool update that's coming to all my WW2 USAAF campaigns.

 

 

[MAXsenna]

You know you're awesome, right?
And, yeah, can't wait to see what the GMF will bring to the table.

Cheers!

Here's a little update on the P-47 skins that come with my Wolfpack campaign and are also available in the user files section.

 

 

[Cool-Hand]

Awesome work on the Shiny Thunderbolts, I'll have to give the Wolfpack campaign another run through. Can't wait to hop in!

@Reflected The preview vid is lovely, but I have to comment on a pet-peeve of mine, which I saw on first custom skins for the -47 back when it was released (or even on incorrect default skin from ED) and now I can see it on all your skins as well. Namely - the internal section of intercooler door is painted Interior Green. I don't know about OD planes (B&W photos from the period make colour evaluation tricky), but I'm pretty sure NM ones had that door section left in NM finish as well, only with insignia bar painted on it.

Even If we skip modern restorations (thay all have it in NM indeed), do you have historic photo sources which would suggest the internal doors were actually painted Interior Green?

I'm talkin specifically about the section highlighted on the screen below. (Don't mind the missing wing. I've just purchased Channel map and your Wolfpack campaign and I'm trying to learn how to operate from Detling, while not having any experience with non-paved airbases whatsoever. I can't see the effin' grassy runway from glide path, so my first landing attempt ended right in a path of a windsock mast  ).

Good point, I don't know actually.

Damn, you're right. It was not interior green. Well spotted! I will update all my skins...but not today  maybe tomorrow.

[Reflected]

OK, I checked..you'd think it would be a quick and easy fix. No. Thanks to the UV mapping, it was an absolute nightmare. But I found the parts, I'll update the skins soon.
