I had a feeling that was the case.

Where is a guide?

Had to make room on my hard drive. DCS has gotten large.

PS: based on your time zone, the best people in the squadron to reach out to are @Moxy and @Vonrd.

First video on the new full click MiG-29A. Really looking forward to this aircraft:

Looks great Vonrd! Really love your F-4s.

I can tell you guys had a great time! Love the shot of the MiGs and the Bf 109.

A lot of this is over my head, but it looks really interesting. People will need to tell me if they have any luck with this.

I'll definitely pick it up. But am still grumbling about the 11 year development.

@Vonrd, @Flyboy, @Lee, @Patriot - Have fun guys! Make sure to get into some trouble for the rest of us.

The New York Herald Wednesday, June 20, 1917 Price: Two Cents FLYING TITANS CLASH OVER YPRES—RED TEAM CLAIM TOURNAMENT VICTORY Four-Month Sky Duel Ends with Red Team Leading 35 to 24 — Blue Team Fights Gallantly to the End From Our European Bureau – Special Cable Dispatch from the Front Ypres Salient, June 18 — A thunderous contest in the heavens has drawn to its conclusion over the battered trenches of Belgium. For four months, the sky above the Ypres Salient has served as both battlefield and crucible, as daring aviators of the Allied and Central Powers vied for supremacy in a test of nerves, skill, and ingenuity unlike any before it. Known to participants simply as "FiF," this series of staged but deadly serious combat missions culminated in the German Red Team securing overall victory, earning 35 points to the Entente Blue Team's 24. Though each side fought with steely resolve and honor befitting their cause, the final tally leaves the Red airmen in possession of both strategic momentum and bragging rights for now. The tournament commenced in early February, amid freezing fogs and artillery fire, with the opening mission setting the tone for all that followed. The Blue Team struck early with valor, achieving 9 points through strategic interdictions and a daring rescue behind enemy lines. The Red Team, however, narrowly outscored them with 10 points, executing counterattacks and crippling a critical Troop Encampment. The second mission, fought in March, saw the Red Team gain ground. Red Team airmen executed a brutal series of raids, earning 10 points with a combination of supply destruction, encampment attacks, and a successful spy rescue. The Blue Team fought fiercely but managed only 6 points, despite a high-risk strike on an enemy Encampment and the successful recovery of a captured agent. April’s third engagement found both sides bloodied, but the Red Team flyers once again held the upper hand. Red Team scored 8 points through precision strikes and intelligence extractions, while the Blue Team tallied 6, including a bold attack on a supply train and another successful espionage rescue. The final battle, held under heavy June skies, proved the most lopsided of the campaign. Despite heroic efforts from Blue Team pilots, the Red Team swept the skies with deadly accuracy, scoring 7 points to the Allies’ 3. One Blue Team convoy was lost, and a planned bombing run on the Red Encampment was broken up before it reached its target. By battle’s end, the scoreboard stood: Red Team, 35. Blue Team, 24. Summary of Missions: ➤ Mission 1 (Feb): Red 10 – Blue 9 ➤ Mission 2 (Mar): Red 10 – Blue 6 ➤ Mission 3 (Apr): Red 8 – Blue 6 ➤ Mission 4 (Jun): Red 7 – Blue 3 Despite the numerical result, the courage and resilience shown by both teams cannot be overstated. American observers attached to Entente squadrons report a growing admiration for the ingenuity and mettle of the Allied flyers, many of whom now regard aerial warfare as the crucible in which the future of modern conflict will be forged. “These men fight not just for ground or glory,” said Major Carlton D. Hart, an American aviation officer posted near Arras. “They fight for the future — for mastery of the very sky.” With America's own entry into the war now fully under way, interest in aviation and its practitioners is soaring stateside. The exploits of these brave men above Ypres will no doubt serve as both instruction and inspiration for a new generation of American airmen preparing to take their place in the firmament of war. “Aviation Is the Arm of Tomorrow” – See Editorial, Page 2 Battle Sketches from the Front – Page 4 “Profiles in Courage: Faces of the Tournament” – Sunday Magazine Feature God bless our boys in khaki — and may the winds favor Liberty. — With files from Associated Press and the Herald’s War Desk in London
