DCS: Mi-8MTV2 and Ka-50: Memory of a Hero Campaign The Memory of a Hero campaign follows the story of helicopter pilot Sergey Pavlovich Borisov. Being an honored sniper and research helicopter pilot and a hero of the Soviet Union and Russia, this campaign explores his experiences in the Mi-8MTV2 and the Ka-50 Black Shark. The campaign is full of danger and exciting moments as you relive some of his more harrowing experiences! Download from: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com The campaign consists of more than 16 missions that include: Work for a large Siberian transport airline Transport workers and repair crews to oil deposits Take part in the Abkhaz-Georgian war of 1993 while flying the then-secret Ka-50 attack helicopter Participate in intelligence gathering activities over Georgian territory prior to the conflict in South Ossetia. Do so in concert with the help of special FSS equipment and direct support from the Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) Perform Ka-50 counter-terror operations in the southern Caucasus region and along the Georgian border Take part in rescue operations over the Black Sea in an Mi-8MTV2 The action is told through a gripping story narrative with an original soundtrack by The Last Haven. This campaign requires ownership of DCS: Black Shark 2 and DCS: Mi-8MTV2. World War II Assets Update In addition to the new aircraft we recently discussed, we continue to add new ground units. The next will be the Sturmgeschütz (Stug) III. The Stug III was a German assault gun and the second most produced German armor vehicle of the Second World War. Designed as an infantry support weapon with a 7.5 cm L/48 gun, it was built on the Panzer III chassis, but was also used as a tank destroyer. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

September 7th it appears http://hurricanefilm.co.uk/

Interesting that if you could talk to someone who could keep their cool they could potentially land it without having to actually fly it. Ted Striker never had an autopilot system like that!

The filmmaker behind massive hits like “Independence Day" and “The Patriot” has locked in a filming location for a remake of the 1976 movie “Midway," starring Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda, about the decisive 1942 naval battle that became a turning point for U.S. forces in the war in the Pacific. After scouting filming locations around Pearl Harbor, German director Roland Emmerich settled on Oahu, and will begin filming the $100-million blockbuster next month at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickham. The same location was most recently used to film Cameron Crowe’s offensively awful film “Aloha,” starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. Woody Harrelson will be starring as the legendary Adm. Chester Nimitz, who, with the help of innovative U.S. codebreakers, foiled a Japanese ambush at Midway on June 4, 1942, less than a month after the conclusion of the Battle of the Coral Sea. https://www.navytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2018/08/28/midway-remake-to-start-filming-next-month-on-oahu/?utm_campaign=Socialflow+AIR&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social

F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign on Steam Purchase from: STEAM Store F-15C: Aggressors BFM Campaign The F-15C Aggressors BFM campaign puts you in the cockpit of an F-15C Eagle as a new Aggressor pilot with the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base. Based on real world procedures, you will fly as "Red Air" against "Blue Air" forces. Upon arrival you will fly a familiarization flight around the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). Then you will face a series of challenging Basic Fighter Maneuver (BFM) missions against similar and dis-similar aircraft. Your opponents include the F-4E, F-14A, F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, MiG-29G, CF-188 and MiG-21.

There are over 1,000 voice-overs and over 45 pages of briefing material including the F-15C Amplified Checklist, RED FLAG Spins, Red Forces In Flight Guide, Maps, Diagrams, Custom Kneeboards and Mission Data cards. DCS World War II Update An important aspect DCS World War II is the addition of additional player-controlled and AI aircraft. Some of these include the P-47D, Mosquito, A-20, C-47, Fw 190 A-8, and Ju-88. All of these are various stages of development, and they will serve a vital role in fleshing out the DCS World II experience in concert with the new damage modelling, new World War II era maps, and dogfight AI. As each of these elements progress to the point we’re ready to introduce in DCS World, we’ll be talking about them much, much more. Today we’d like to show off some of the P-47D skins we are working on, as well as the Mosquito. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team

Which games in the series do you have exactly?

Most definitely not an F-5F right Iranian media says that a new Iranian fighter jet was exhibited during the National Defense Industry show. Images released by various outlets show President Hassan Rouhani sitting in the cockpit of the new “Kowsar” plane, a “fourth-generation fighter”, with “advanced avionics” and multi-purpose radar. https://theaviationist.com/?p=59136

I have 36 SAC documents and a pilots handbook for the B-36H - but never seen one moving with a load of others parked on the same ramp - some kind of awesome sight.

Can't get my head around this aircraft ever existing! let alone flying.

In groovy formatting. http://mig35.tass.com/?utm_source=tass&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=banner_752_150

Not spent any time on it myself but https://www.mudspike.com/combat-air-patrol-2-battle-of-hormuz/

Had no idea the B-36 was ever in a film - what great footage.

Almost forgot this http://www.combatairpatrol2.com/

Wow, hi MadJeff not much new in these parts outside of what modders are putting through. Oh TK has now just put up all the SF2 games by $10 each - and if you don't know the Strike Fighters and Wings Over series was replaced by the Strike Fighters 2 series from around 2009 with the last patch now being 2013 - but they were DX10 and changes to work better on multicore CPUs at least. SF2 North Atlantic might be worth trying for starters if you like the Tomcat and intercepting Soviet bombers. DCS has this year seen some big changes with a new DX11 engine and although most modules are Falcon 4 learning curve, there are exceptions like the "Flaming Cliffs 3" module (soon to be re badged as "Modern Air Combat" with more jets) - these are closer to SF lite in terms of learning.

Straight out of a James Bond film: It was considered one of the CIA’s worst failures in decades: Over a two-year period starting in late 2010, Chinese authorities systematically dismantled the agency’s network of agents across the country, executing dozens of suspected U.S. spies. But since then, a question has loomed over the entire debacle. How were the Chinese able to roll up the network? https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/08/15/botched-cia-communications-system-helped-blow-cover-chinese-agents-intelligence/

Interview with Indian pilot https://hushkit.net/2018/08/15/flying-and-fighting-in-the-mig-27-interview-with-a-mig-pilot/

Only thoughts at the minute are wondering what flight or sim experience the pilot had.

FE 2 and SF2 should run fine on Win 10 Would suggest if not already - right click the shortcut to the exe and go to the Compatibility tab: In there tick Run this program as administrator and Disable full-screen optimisations Then go to Settings Gaming and switch Game mode off.
