Nice one! I must get this mod. When I was a wee lad, I used to read the thicker action-comic books. Don't remember if they had a series name, but anyway, my fave one ever was a story about a squadron of RAF Whirlwinds that went East to fight with the Russians. I really liked that story and you never see much about the Whirlwind anywhere - I think most people never heard of it.

Hmm, no option to delete the post - so I'll just let you know that this has been resolved now - the answer was given at DCS in the files section (where the campaign file is located) by Winz, who updated the campaign for FC3. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/358231/#postform Thanks to him for the update and the answer. So the AAR for this will be up on my website soon - now we can get on with the campaign! Great. Deployment is continuing, too (AARs also up ) and soon I'll be doing the valley campaign for the A-10A and Vergeev payware campaign for BS1 and after all of that, I intend flying Cold War Warrior in FC2 and then we'll see if I have enough energy left for Georgian Oil War in the A-10C and Black Shark. That's going to keep me busy!

Hi Chaps I'm having a problem with mission 6 in the Revanche campaign - if anyone here has flown it and got a mission success, I'd be keen to hear how you achieved it. I've flown the mission about 8 times now, and last night I thought I had finally cracked it, but no - I got neither a 'mission success' nor 'mission failed' - so I'm stuffed! I know what I am supposed to do - attack the units that get put in by the Chinook flight, and make sure our convoy gets through. The first problem is that it says there are four Su-25As in my flight, but in fact there are only two. Then there are lots of AA about and with the kind of weapons available to me, it means getting in close enough to ID the targets (at least 2 Strela vehicles and the odd Igla), and the wingman instantly ditches his load when we come under fire, and heads for home. So I am left to do everything myself. 5 times I eventually got shot down. Once I got a mission fail whilst flying and the convoy was miles away, so I've no idea why. Once I even ran out of fuel before the convoy had even reached the area where the enemy had landed! Just a kilometer from landing for fuel at Telek Last night I got to the area before the Chinooks had offloaded and together with my my wingman, we downed all but one of them, who limped home damaged - so no troops landed and I even waited for the allied convoy to get to Telek before exiting, but again, no mission success. I get the feeling I am going to have to hang back and wait until all the Chinooks have offloaded and left the area and then go in and kill everything with my meagre ordnance load (which wouldn't seem to be possible) on my own - maybe get reloaded at Telek once before the convoy arrives.

I backed this - though I must admit, I withdrew my backing at one point (as they were asking in a poll about what they should release) and then repledged just before the end. I personally couldn't care less about the Me-262 and I never fly German stuff from WWII anyway (I did test a Bf109 in Romania scheme once just so I could say I had tried it ) and as I'm not into dogfighting the only aircraft that will interest me is the P-47D, unless they make the Spit PR or FGR - I already have the P-51D. Am I the only one who thinks that scenery doesn't look right? It looks too much like a wishy-washy water colour painting to me. I sincerely hope that a lot more texturing will be done before release. It's a bit like FTX - people say it's so realistic, but to me it seems, well, similar to what I just described. I like UTX/GEX very much - to me, that looks great.

I've been doing some AARs on my hobby website, if anyone is interested - some from Flaming Cliffs 3 (Revanche campaign) , Black Shark 2 (Deployment campaign) and one from Mi-8MTV. LINKY Hope you like them. So far the highlights videos are nothing to write home about, but now I have bought decent recording and editing software I hope they will improve - in picture quality, at least

Has absolutely nothing to do with any 'learning curve'.

Me too!

Just got a mail from JF about this: http://www.getloadedgo.com/ Excellent opportunity to get the ones you want. I've been on the fence about TOH - didn't much like the demo, but at £15 for that and Hinds, I'll deffo give it a go! Especially as I have all the ArmA 2 bits that can be used to extend the terrain etc. Nice one.

Just didn't like the handling at all, compared to other payware aircraft of a similar type ;) For example, the control was far too light - the slightest tiny movement of the stick resulted in instant and imho exaggerated reaction from the aircraft. This made them very 'finicky' or over sensitive - not like any other modern sim aircraft I've flown or the military trainers I have flown in RL. I also thought other cockpits were better, though I didn't look into this as deeply as I normally would, as the handling put me off. I did give the Skyhawk a couple of tests at a later date, tbh, but still didn't like it. Everyone has their opinion - that's mine, like it or not PS - just remembered - I wasn't overly impressed with the textures on the Skyhwaks, either - looked very much outdated compared to many of the excellent ones around these days.

Sorry to say, ST0RM, that I just ever so slightly disagree with you - but it's your own opinion, and that's fine. Personally, I have two Razbam FSX models (A-7 and A-4) and I thought both were so bad, I uninstalled them within a week and haven't seen them since! On the other hand, there are some other 3rd parties, whose models I have for FSX or FC, building aircraft for DCS that do get my skin pimpling. Having siad that, I would really like to have an decent A-7 in DCS:World - if they ever get it working properly - so here's hoping...

I've been a member for a while now and I've had this issue since 3 weeks into my first paid sub month - and searched at the time for answers (as it's the only site it's ever happened on) but only found people being told it was a client side problem - so I never bought another sub until a couple of days ago, accepting this problem will occur, as it has to me twice this morning, but it's still very frustrating. Especially when you have 200mb of a 250mb file downloaded (with a 2.5meg connection) and you get this:
