I would love to see animations of troops exiting the helicopter. And would pay to see the last guy in every stack do a backflip out of the helo.

Who to direct those trust issues to....that's the question.

Operation Dragon's Perch - Sortie 1 The first mission of Dragon's Perch went off without a hitch. It was a scramble mission from Anderson AB to defend Guam against Chinese invasion. Participants: Gypsy: RamRod Arch Dude: Durka Bloooon Yeti Darkcloud Nightmare: Br3g Husker Drifter Nickel Splinters Beems Cash Frailer AIC Hindsight Multiple waves of enemy bombers and transport aircraft were escorted by J11 and J15 fighters. Our AIC sorted each flight into "lanes" to the West, determined by separate CAP points. Nightmare and Nickel worked together in a "grinder" CAP while Gypsy and Dude set up separate lanes of fire about 20mi wide. All flights were able to score kills, and 3 losses were had. Anderson AB was hit with multiple enemy missiles launched from Chinese ships and was cratered. It will take some time to prepare. Flights were diverted NE to Saipan, where they had to land on older, rough, runways. The war has just begun.

Because the tantrums that are being brought with little regard to understanding the "why" of things, as well as refusing to accept the answers given, is beginning to get childish. Enjoy the new tech that's being pushed to make this map happen, and look forward to the future world map a few years from now. Or not. Just stop beating a dead horse thinking it'll do what you want.

Been trying to figure this out for over a month. When trying to open DCS in MT, the VR screen just goes black. On my monitor, where it's mirrored, you can see that it's working fine, but when I put the headset on, all I see is a black screen. Everything works as it should be in ST. I have nothing special enabled like Leap. In the shortcut, I have --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR placed correctly. Still nothing works. Anyone have any suggestions? At my wits end. Log attached. dcs.log

I can't seem to get VR to work in MT. Works fine in ST. Problem: Start DCS in MT. Mirrored screen will come up on monitor and tracks. (I can pick up my headset and move it around and the mirrored screen on my monitor moves along) Look inside headset, just a black screen. I've tried: 1. --force_enable_VR --force_OpenXR in the shortcut. 2. Repair 3. Disabling OpenXR. Enabling OpenXR System: VR: Reverb G2 RTX4090 AMD 7800x3D dcs.log

You get high details for the full thing, when those portions get released.

I don't know anything about Afghanistan, only that I'm hyped to fly in the mountains, and I'm really looking forward to trying to pronounce all those names you put up.

Is there any information about seasons? I thought I saw snow in the trailer at :44, but wasn't entirely sure.

I can't wait to see what this thing looks like with clouds. Can you imagine pushing up in a helo through dense fog to attack a mountain top above the cloud layer?

Yeah, I think a recon aspect would be amazing. Especially for groups that really like to plan their missions. Currently, my group is using the F-15e as a recon asset, using the RCD function on the TPod to take pictures and get coordinates. Then they do Battle Damage Assessments after the mission if available. Having a Reaper up in the air would be really fun. When it comes to ground assets, we seem to still be in a computing generation where it's either/or. For instance, ARMA is great at ground simming, but lacks the full fidelity of flight like DCS. Some day they'll combine and it'll be glorious.

Excited to get up into the mountains and the challenging altitudes in an Apache on this map.

Excellent! This forum THRIVES on optimism!

1000% agree. I know it is like making 2 maps, but it really changes the dynamic of missions when the weather hits.

Mission: Burning Mirage - Into The Red Sea Date: 2Mar2024 Location: Sinai Overview: Strike industrial targets and parked tanks protected by SA-2, SA-3 and A/A. Gypsy1 (F14) took off to set up CAP position between projected enemy airfields and target area. They were able to down several SU-33 fighters and successfully protected the rest of the Strike force. Hellcat (F-18) took off first about 50nm closer to the target than the strike package. They performed SEAD on the SA-2 site to the North, and the SA-3 site directly protecting the industrial complex. Dude 1 (F-15e) took off from Ramon AB and waited from the "clear" call from Hellcat, then proceeded to strike a tank battalion set up in the midst of a Red Cross camp. No soft tents or Red Cross Helicopters were hit and Dude1 successfully killed 90+% of their targets. Dude 2 (F-15e) took off after Dude1 and performed DEAD on the SA-3 site and adjacent industrial buildings. No civilian structures were damaged. Nickel (F-16) performed SEAD on an SA-3 site further to the West, then came back to help Dude1 clean out any leftover tanks in the area.
