Mariana Islands Map & DCS: WWII

Aye. The Soviets received over 1000 LF Mk IX. Like other Western types the extent of their use was played down by the Soviet hierarchy.

But not over the Caucasus. The Soviets used only the earlier Spitfire Vb during the Kuban campaign in 1943. When the first MK IX was delivered to the Soviets in February 1944 the front had already moved westwards. Thus a WW2 Caucasus map would be pointless for our current plane set, that's the whole point.

Hey Guys,

So how do I get my P-51 and F-86 to the Marianas??

You open the mission editor and place down an aircraft you want...

So have to build a mission?

Probably. You could also check if there are instant missions already coming with them.

Must have to, no instant missions for P-51, Spit, or F-86 in the Marianas 

I realize how intimidating the Mission Editor can be, especially to those that have never even opened it up before. It might be like asking someone to use quantum physics to explain the Big Bang theory to a pre schooler! However, I would bet a fair amount of ED miles that once you try it out, with a little help from someone that has a bit of knowledge about it, you might just find it a little adicting and delve further into it. Building a simple little mission with your favorite ride in a new map could wind up being almost as rewarding as flying that module after you finish the mission. I would say it could be analogous to a model rail roader that spends more time building his layout (which is never really finished) than he does running his trains!

You are correct! Just built a simple one to Fly the P-51 around the Marianas. Fun!!

Quick question, very limited type/numbers of ships to use. Anyway to add more warship types??

Only way to add more warships is to either take modern ships or add ship "mods" that you can download from here and https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/

How do I take modern ships and add them. Currently in my Marianas I only have 2 types of ships. 

Disable the historical filter (the clock/watch symbol at the bottom in the mission editor) and then click on the ship icon on the left, choose the country you want and the ship type.

Totally agree - my route in to the ME was building warbird missions in the Nevada map…

Wanted to explore the map AND set up some desert style missions / use the N Africa camo skins

Have done the same with Marianas and Cyprus

Thanks Guys!
