Last rookie pilot killed in a head-on. New pilot Dan Miles reporting

In 1999 my daughter "honeymooned" in the UK. She purchased this bottle with the name "Walker" that being my grand mothers maiden name. Many years later, say 2019 I examined it again and observed where it was manufactured. Does BG still send us messages ?

Whilst changing my theme in DCS this morning I noticed a setting under the Game Play section. I am wondering if we need to make sure we all it unchecked so that any design the mission builder adds to a mission for us to play gets applied. If I read this correct it means that I can have a setting in my game that will negate a setting the mission designer wanted to have? Please correct me if I am wrong... Edit: It may be just for single player? Edit 2: After a quick bit of googling I found this...https://forum.dcs.world/topic/322783-no-force-from-mission-doesnt-work/ Edit 3: Might be worth doing a test of some sort to check this out.

Having just purchased the Channel Map, @fruitbat challened me to get the Apache landed in Dover Castle, here is my attempt..

@DD_Fenrir, Thanks for that. @wingflyr / @Zukker / @fruitbat or anyone else that knows... I am just working on version 2 for the next time we run this mission (people seemed to enjoyed it so lets go again at some point ) I have plotted way-points to all the planned targets (obviously not the AAA / SAM as we do not know where they are) for all planes to make take-off quicker, now we can load weapons and go, no messing about loading co-ordinates, does this mean I could remove all the LAT LON from the briefing pages as they would be no longer required for F14/F15/F18? I know the F16 can use the steer points to deploy JDAMS but what about the others? For example I have prepared F16 Steer Points 1- Home Base 2- Larak Island 3- Ingress Point 4- Rashid Al-Moonsur Residence 5- Sadiq Al-Moonsur Residence 6- Fazil Al-Moonsur Residence 7- Storage Facility 4 8- Storage Facility 1 9- Storage Facility 3 10- Storage Facility 2 11- HQ Building F15 Way-points 1- Home Base 2- Over Dargahan On Route 3- Ingress Point 4 - Training HQ Building 2 5- Training HQ Building 1 6- HQ Building 7- Storage Facility 2 8- Storage Facility 3 9- Storage Facility 1 10- Storage Facility 4 11- Fazil Al-Moonsur Residence 12- Sadiq Al-Moonsur Residence 13- Rashid Al-Moonsur Residence Mirage Way-points 1- Home Base 2- Ingress Point 3- Qeshm Island Airfield 4- Dayrestan Training Complex 5- Ship Attack Base F5 Waypoints 1- Home Base 2- Ingress Point 3- Ship Attack Base 4- Dayrestan Training Complex 5- Qeshm Island Airfield F14 Way-points 1- Center of Carrier Loop 2- Ship Attack Base 3- Dayrestan Training Base 4- Qeshm Island Airfield 5- Training HQ-2 6- Bul-Hinsur HQ Building 7- Storage Facility-2 8- Storage Facility-3 9- Storage Facility-1 10- Storage Facility-4 11- Fazil Al-Moonsur Residence 12- Sadiq Al-Moonsur Residence 13- Rashid Al-Moonsur Residence F18 Way-points 1- Center of Carrier Loop 2- Ship Attack Base 3- Dayrestan Training Base 4- Qeshm Island Airfield 5- Training HQ-1 6- Bul-Hinsur HQ Building 7- Storage Facility-2 8- Storage Facility-3 9- Storage Facility-1 10- Storage Facility-4 11- Fazil Al-Moonsur Residence 12- Sadiq Al-Moonsur Residence 13- Rashid Al-Moonsur Residence Any advice and guidance as always welcomed.

Clear skies BG !

Edited for you I would also place one or two SA-8s around to add some further tasking for the Wild Weasels.

Thanks Colin and apologies for mix up at start, I honestly thought that the F16s had done short take off and runway was clear 😳

Thanks guys glad you enjoyed it. We discussed doing it again next week but I am going to leave it for a bit. Lessons Learned for next time Waypoints to targets to save time programming in at the start. Tone down the SA13 and replace with Strella perhaps Have a second emergency airfield available for re-arm and re-fuel. Better direction / instructions about which way to take off..... If you have any comments on the mission or ideas for other scenarios please let me know.

Thanks for your time and effort Colin, really enjoyed tonight's mission

Runway run....

As a pure spectator I have one thing to add...

Thoroughly enjoyed the mission Friar...thank you, a purpose for Garlic 1.... The runway demolition was a perfect run in, no piccies but it was good.... Second aircraft, piccies, great fun, out and back in. Airfield well and truly disabled I think. Thanks for your company chaps

🍺

Salute BG, Thank you so much for all the fun you enabled me to have in the past several years, and continue to have to this day because of you. Sadly missed

(I do not think my I-16 even has any external lights? Oh, wait, it's Operation Steel Swordfish ... no worries ...)

🥃

Salute BG

Really loooking forward to this Col, thanks! A tip, guys, from one who's flown a lot of night ops in the passed 12 months... Know what your external light switch button binding is. And whether it's a toggle or separate off/on.

Raise a glass today in order of our founder, Blairgowrie who's Birthday it is today. Taken too soon and sadly missed. Cheers

"What do you want for Christmas Dad?" "Er....how about Armageddon?" "Is that expensive?" "Twenty-eight quid" "I see...a bargain then?" "Kinda...."

Just doing some final testing and thought I would post a couple of screen shots to wet your appetite for Thursday Evening (UK time)
