Not much to say except "I want this".

S! All With the recent interest in TC, I have built some missions. They are a variety of capture the flag. They can be done as a single player against AI or as teams on opposite sides. All maps have a good deal of enemy AI. Some are moving. Some are stationary. Some are hidden. Capture Lapino: First to capture the airfield wins. Medium difficulty. Lots of hidden AI and nothing to hide behind. Moving AI trying to sneak up on you. Capture Flendugal: The flag is in the city. Easy difficulty. AI is on the move and hidden in the city. Lots of farm buildings to provide some cover. Capture Novorossiysk: Capture the enemy flag at their base. Medium difficulty. Hidden AI in the city. One small surprise. Capture Bad Kringle: Capture the enemy flag at their base. High Difficulty. You must cross one of the bridges to get to the enemy flag. Lots of stationary AI guarding the bridges plus a couple of surprises. One AI enemy unit that is not recognized as a target by AI gunners. Very deadly.

Also quick note - the Armeefliegerkräfte also flew the Hind. In late 1989 the KHG-5 "Adolf von Lützow" received the first of its 12 Mi-24Ps. They also had 20 Hind-Ds and numerous Hips.

S! All, SCG_Neun sent us an invite for the SCG Sunday Combined Arms Event that will be at 2:30 pm (EST) this Sunday. At this time, I don't have any information on the mission. If this change by Sunday, I will try to update this post! ------------------ Online Server should be: SCG - Name of mission not none for now - PW= come and ask by Discord... has been change by SCG!!! The Discord invite will help communicate with us, short of joining our website. Look under combined arms discussion https://discord.gg/q4paCPn ------------------ Sometimes, they play Human vs AI, and other times, it's Human vs Human players. For those that don't have the 'Tank Crew' game, I don't know if they have the basic (free) tanks available for this event! All are welcome! =GenMarkof007= pm me if you want the SCG TS address & PW.

This is a mission I built when I first got into IL2-GB year or 2 ago. Works with current version of game, TC needed to play it as it is a Tiger Mission. I could use some editing on the descrip. Basically you along with a wingman tiger start on the Spas side of the river. You need to take out all enemy in the town, tanks, trucks, AT guns, etc. There will be a para drop that will deploy some AT guns. A column of trucks is right on your heels on the road headed in that when they arrive will deploy some 88's. Behind them, is a column of some PZ4, Stugs to reinforce you. There will be enemy attacks from the south and the east which must be destroyed. Bridgehead at Spas.zip

As the title says

power back on! hopefully i'll make it onto the war grounds tonight

You might want to have a look at this: https://stormbirds.blog/2020/08/01/grim-reapers-qa-with-eagle-dynamics-reveals-future-details-for-dcs/ There are some gaping holes out there, no doubt about that. I'm looking forward to the MiG-23 and AvioDev's Mirage F1, they will spice things up on the Cold War server. The Phantom represents a massive missed opportunity, I'm pretty sure people would be lining up to buy it. The Century Series aircraft, while very nice, wouldn't be a sound business proposition for ED - IMHO it's far more likely they'll get picked up by 3rd party devs. I still don't get why the A-4 Skyhawk mod hasn't been picked up as an official module. The Kfir mod also looks amazing, I hope they become a full-time dev. Oh yeah. It's a shame ED put the AH-1S on the back burner, BLUFOR could use some proper attack helicopters. When it comes to modules, the Su-17 is at the top of my wishlist, right up there with the Su-24 and full-fidelity early Soviet 4th gens.

It looks really good and I will probably get it but there seems to be nothing happening for equivalent opposition, i.e. the Cobra / Apache: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=243071 There is a Mod: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308112/?sphrase_id=2685414 As for the Cobra: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229471 This issue is where DCS somewhat falls flat for me... they bring out these amazing modules but there is no equivalent opposition or there are missing aircraft to fill the concept. i.e: MiG 21, MiG 19 needs a Phantom or Thud WWII needs dedicated ground attack aircraft / bombers. Mig 15 / F 86 is pretty good for Korean era but I'm still hoping for some carrier action. Still... the premier combat flight sim at present.

I'll definitely be spending a bit of time in the Hind, myself.

Yeah, the Hind looks amazing. I really can't wait. Also, I loved 9:05 in the DCS video.

S! All, If you would like to join today SCG mission, please don't wait until the start time to ask me for the TeamSpeak address and PW (I might not be replying after the start). I will try to get on the SCG TeamSpeak around 2:00-2:15 pm (EST). Before that, I might be on JG1 TS until moving to SCG... for any questions or info. Again, I invite you all to try ounce a Combined Arms event to see how things works between Air and Ground Units - if we get enough players! ps: I started to play Tanks on the Finish VirtualPilots - Dynamic War server - lots of fun and many planes over the sky! Cheers, =GenMarkof007=

I pre-ordered. Anyone else? TrackIR will be supported at release and VR maybe by October, with the HP Reverb the first supported headset. I see Thrustmaster is releasing an Airbus side-stick version of the T.16000 and an Airbus style dual throttle, likely motivated by the FS 2020 release. Currently busy doing some clean-up and maintenance on my flight sim workstation.

Cool, I'll try and finish work early.

Regarding the Panzer M, you need to use the correct tactics. If you try to slug it out face-to-face, you're going to lose against T-34s and KV-1s. A platoon to PZIII-Is and PZIII-Ms can give an entire T-34 platoon a nightmare if you attack correctly.

S! All, For old dudes... Watch the girl at the start over the crowd... jump around! Cheers, =GenMarkof007=

I'd have loved to have attended this... Joe is so weird looking but soooo cool. Yeah, it's very long... almost 2 hours. At least check "Is she really going out with him" @ 1:34:00... just a delightful version. The hits are @: 4:30 15:00 43:00 1:21:00 (and that's where I stopped... still more after) BTW... he's just 3 months older than me.

This is definitely the shortcoming of DCS. The models that they develop are a little off. Even the versions we do have don’t line up, quite right.

@Vonrd I assume we have to register again on TWA as Axis/Allied pilot and put our names here after @Britchot (please) can put us in a JG1 squad?

S! Goat, I will try to join you tonight! I might not have the latest P-47D-22, but we will see if I can fly the other P-47. I bought last night the latest script campaign: Hell Hawks... Cheers =GenMarkof007=

Two more videos from GS. Ate's handling of the Mirage 2000 is masterclass.

Hey everybody! I managed to cobble together some footage from working corners at Brainered International Raceway a few weeks ago! I hope it can potentially be enjoyable so you guys can get a bit of a "Behind the scenes" from real life racing things. I was only working flags on this one, but I may be doing more events both volunteering and driving as we come into the Fall! https://youtu.be/LMs8F1UJl4Q

Hey guys not sure when I’ll be back. The wind storm took out our power in the area. Left 45% of the town dark. Give ‘‘em hell!! And tell the ground crew to polish and clean my machines for upon my return. SALUTE Angry Goat

I live in Virginia Beach and the storm center went by about 40 miles west of us. Power out from 0645 Tuesday until 0100 Wednesday.
