I might be motivated for that one The Intruder probably won't come until Q4 2024 at the earliest. I think the Eurofighter (TrueGrit and Heatblur partnership) is due to come before it and who knows when that'll actually release I didn't pick up any new modules this steam sale... I was really tempted for the Hind but decided to get some much wanted campaigns instead: Wolfpack - P-47 campaign Beware, Beware - Spitfire campaign Iron Flag Part 1 - A-10C campaign Raven One - F-18C campaign I'm determined that the next actual module I'll buy is the F-15E and sticking to it.

CastorTroy Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 6 hours ago, dburne said: Reading his intro it sounds somewhat complex - you say though it would be good for a first Spit campaign? I have purchased already as well but I can try another one first if necessary. To be fair, in Beware Beware, you start the story as a 19 year old kid with only 11 hours in the Spit. ? The Big Show, and the Epsom Campaign are really good also!

The are going to coexist side by side as the old campaigns will not work on a new Normandy 2 At least that's what is says in Q&A Yes, if you want the new version with Paris and London. But the "old" normandy map will also get a visual update if you don't buy Normandy 2
CastorTroy Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Oh, and regarding having all three campaigns for the Spit, have a look at this. 1

I'm holding off on the Normandy map until the new version drops, I'll pick up the Big Show and Epsom if he converts them. I think I read he was planning on it somewhere ? Small update on the F-15E concerning AI from their discord:

CastorTroy Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 If you have the old Normandy map, and The Channel map, Normandy 2.0 will only be $9.99. Not sure how much 2.0 will be as a standalone.

Unless he has changed his mind he has already said he won't be doing that... it would be a huge job that he's not prepared to do. He said this in one of his video updates awhile back.
dburne Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Ok got cold starts in the Spit down now, good to go. I just want a litle more consistency in the quality of my landings first. Take offs are great. So I have been using the instant action cold start on The Channel. This last flight I decided to fly across the channel and do a little sight seeing on the other side. Denied, got bounced by I believe a couple of 190's and that was the end of that. Apparently no one told them it was just an instant action cold start mission for practice lol. Rude.

Unfortunately with the DCS editor one cannot simply copy/paste logic. Everything is a ton more work.

Lusekofte Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Ok I remembered one could save own settings and tuned down graphics to medium and took on 2 mission in the Huey. Man that guy can make missions. there was ammo transport and dust off missions landing in dense jungle. I do look forward to this continuation
Gambit21 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 We need that Vietnam map...until then it will be operations on the Sinai map I guess...and Nellis...don't forget Nellis.
Guest deleted@83466 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Do you believe in love at first sight? Bought a new toy. This is the very very "first impression". First thing, set up default view to my liking. Then map Cyclic and Collective and force trim, get rid of undesirable automapped bindings. That takes about 5 minutes. Then I'm in the air in the default runway start at Kutaisi. I have no idea what the 4 way force trim does, only that up seems to work as I think of force trim. And there we are, flying around, hovering behind trees, all the stuff that attack helicopters do. Extraordinarily intuitive. Feels like a cross between UH-1 and KA-50, but without that annoying KA-50/Mi-24 autopilot and trim (need to hold button down or suffer a lurch). Looks good. Flies well. Sounds great. Should have bought this a long time ago. From reading comments here, I understand it's going to be a real beast to learn all the systems, but flying wise, very good first impression, and a kick of confidence that actually flying it is going to be the least of my learning curve. I see that the "quick start" manual is nearly 400 pages long.
DBFlyguy Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I actually don't mind Nellis, I just wish they'd expand it to include NAS Fallon which would seem like a "no-brainer" with the Hornet, Tomcat and Harrier in the sim. 1
Gambit21 Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I wish they'd included the target objects etc on all of the ranges. Fallon would be a great bonus but I'll take a finished Nellis range.

Guest deleted@83466 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Ok, now it’s tear down the Apache time…?
Gambit21 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 14 minutes ago, SeaSerpent said: Ok, now it’s tear down the Apache time…? No, I think it's a neat aircraft, and glad you like it. I hope you have time for it. I'm just less into any whiz bang high tech aircraft even if I become enamored with it for a minutelike the Viper. I just have to pick my battles. I'm 'stuck' modeling an aircraft right now from literally ground zero, and if I fly something it has to be short bursts, so need simple.

Taking a break from my learning process to do some DCS WWII now, but will get back to it soon enough I am sure. Loving those Hellfires. Edited January 6, 2023 by dburne

Recently having found Chucks new site at https://chucksguides.com I took a look at his Spitfire Manual to see if there was an update... is there what ... updated : 6/01/2023 and it is now 148 pages (was 66). Combined with @dburne comments I suddenly feel compelled to reload the Spitfire module, buy some new maps a campaign and get flying! But IL2 is my WW2 Sim and stepping out on it feels wrong somehow. Sick eh? So many aircraft ! So little time ! ?

I wish it was part of the sim as I can’t use a mod for a campaign build. I had an idea for a Nellis F-4 campaign. No matter - it’s on ice now.
