Awesome... thanks mate!

Is it likely that V for Victory will be out on the 1st?

[Reflected]

Here's a short playthrough of mission 4 of V for Victory, my DCS Mosquito campaign. This one is a Night Intruder mission, where we set out to wreak havoc among the Luftwaffe night fighters as they assemble over their airfield to intercept the Lancasters.

Let me show you my 3 entries to the DCS Mosquito livery contest, and tell you a bit about the background of these aircraft and the people who flew them.

Can anyone verify if this even does anything? On my game it seems to do nothing at all (and never has done). That is, for me, the choices set in the mission design are always enforced regardless of both whether this box is checked or not and whatever my own settings are.

 

cheers

Here's a little bit of an off topic video: Today I'd like to talk about my favorite leather flying jacket of all time, the A-2. It was used by USAAF pilots in World War 2, and it's the sharpest looking jacket ever made. I'd like to show you a few options where you can get decent repros, and also point out a few things to keep in mind before buying one.
 

 

[Reflected]

With the next update I'm introducing visible hand gestures in many of my DCS Campaigns in order to make them more realistic and immersive. I hope you'll like them.

That is cool! Nice. 
I love the use of correct gloves.

Does this apply to V for Victory?

Thx, I did it maybe I didn't notice this video. Thanks.

Edit.

Ok, I looked, but from what I can see, you're basically talking about .... anything that's more of a future thing, like maps or incoming modules. Unfortunately, there is nothing about the current already released modules. F-4, Intruder, Kola map, A-7, F-4U, Tornado, Vietnam map is still the future and probably far away (maybe Phantom would be the closest). There was a brief mention of Dora and that would have been cool, but it was probably about those two extra missions for Horido?

Edited May 16, 2023 by YoYo

[Reflected]

Yes that's all for the Dora. Well, building a campaign takes 6-15 months, so these modules may be down the line, but I already have to work on those projects to make them happen. The Viper campaign should be the closest. Depending on when the map will be released.

Ok, thx for clarifications. I hope one day we will receive something longer for "forgotten module" so FW-190 D9 Dora as well  .

I spent the last few weeks updating my first 2 Tomcat campaigns Zone 5 and Fear the Bones with some cool stuff, check it out.
 

 

[Coota0]

Really looking forward to Jester changing waypoints in Zone 5. Will Jester handle the TACAN too? Can I over ride Jester's navigation and set the waypoint/TACAN manually?

Yes he will handle tacan too, and you can override it. But the mission won’t know you’ve overridden it. 
 

in any case, Nellis tacan is the only one you should need. If you need to refuel you did something wrong.
