Quite! I recall reading about 210mph on the ASI, with approx. 15-20' flaps flying against the power. Looks like I could have gotten a few feet closer too, darn it. 😁

4 separate mission objectives have been generated within the mission 1. Attack ground units 2. Attack Transport Units 3. Attack Air Units 4. Move Troops. I have modified the mission to move the Helicopter start points nearer the action. Date: 30/06/2000 Time: 10:00 Weather: High scattered clouds Wind: LightBreeze (2 m/s, S) Allies: USA Enemies: Russia Our men are in need of pickup. Collect them at the clearing and fly them to their drop zone. Without these men in position our flanks are unguarded. In concert with this operation a forthcoming bombing raid won't be possible without a direct path directly through the enemy defenses. Knowing this, The enemy scrambled fighter squadrons blocking this route. They will have to be destroyed to clear the route. recon units have learned the location of several enemy forces getting ready for an attack. Command estimates that they could pose a major risk to our ground forces when the ground war begins. To lessen the threat, Command has ordered the immediate elimination of these units. recon units have learned the location of several enemy forces and believe them to be part of an invasion force. These units could pose a major risk to our ground forces when the ground war begins. To prevent this, Command has demanded the elimination of these units. Tasks - Destroy all artillery designated objective GINZU. - Destroy all interceptors designated objective BOLLING. - Pick up Troops from waypoint GALE Pickup and transport to designated objective GALE. - Destroy all ballistic missiles designated objective KELT. Remarks - Air defense units protecting objective GINZU can be ignored. Your primary target remains the artillery. - Friendly units are danger close to enemy troops near waypoint GINZU. - Friendly units are danger close to enemy troops near waypoint BOLLING. - Troop drop off must be within 500m of objective. - Friendly units are danger close to enemy troops near waypoint GALE. - Air defense units protecting objective KELT can be ignored. Your primary target remains the ballistic missiles. - Friendly units are danger close to enemy troops near waypoint KELT.

Salute After downloading the OH-6A fun map last night, we found it has a helicopter time trial course. You enter the start gate and the clock starts running and also checks you have not missed a gate or gone too high. It got quite competitive between Fruitbat and Fenrir last night shaving seconds off each others time @BluBear Fruitbat and Fen "virtually slapped your face" by way of a challenge as well... just saying... I have looked at the script that controls this and have seen how it works and it now means we can build a mission for any time trials over a course. WWII tests anyone? or a thought I had this morning we could now build (and check) a Top Gun style run This is NOT a mod that you will have to download. The magic will be embedded into the mission that we produce, so it can be open to anyone. The gates are the air show cones that are already standard in the mission. Ideas for maps and locations for courses welcome. Watch this space.

True, but the Hook ain't free! Sure looks better though,

Now that's what I call tailgating.

When I first found the problem with the SimHQ Archives the Internet Archive was under a DDos attack and had been down for a few days. https://duckduckgo.com/?va=d&t=ha&q=internet+archive+ddos+attack&ia=web It is up but it is still in read only mode. No edits and no new content is being added at the moment. There was only 1 save of the DGen Studies thread which was captured in 2018. https://web.archive.org/web/20180429205040/http://simhq.net/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1708223/1.html Considering there is a high probability that I generated this save I suspect that most of the SimHQ.net archived threads will not even have one save at the Internet Archive. To help keep the information more readily accessible I have added it to the M4T Knowledge Base.

The Blackhawk mod is a very good helicopter mod as well, very different as is much more modern, and probably the easiest helicopter top learn to fly helicopters with, UH-60L Black Hawk Mod ("Official" Thread) - Page 19 - Flyable/Drivable Mods for DCS World - ED Forums

Hey ! Salute Sir, Hope you are having a great day Many Happy Returns from all at the Priory.

Happy Birthday FT!

I have installed it as well now. I had the first version and this is wayyyyy better. Lots of nice skins and options available too.

I really like the OH-6A mod, it's come a long way since its first release. Since v1.4 its massively improved really nice fm, and we're currently on v1.51 now

Operation Pedestal was a British operation to carry supplies to the island of Malta in August 1942 Gentlemen after successfully pushing back the Italians , the Germans have been forced to send troops , armour and aircraft to shore up their Allies. They are supplied by ship across the Mediterranean. These convoys are harassed by submarines and aircraft from Malta. We have been diverted to Malta to assist in the air cover for a vital supply convoy. If this convoy does not get through then the aircraft will not have fuel or ammunition and the islanders will starve. The island will be forced to surrender and we will lose a vital staging post for harassing Rommels shipping supply. In order for the map to work we will be flying from German airfields on the map. We will have hurricanes and P-40s. If you have the desert mod on and use the skins then although the enemy are flying from Russian airfields they will have the correct markings. The task is to fly to the south of the island and protect ships. A second wave of enemy bombers will be forming up to attack from the south. There may be other enemy aircraft active over the Island Plan is to run this on Sunday 3nd November.

Flying around en-route to protect ground troops with Colin earlier tonight,

This was a bit earlier this evening. Yesterday I took a Hurricane up from Watchfield, and ferried it over to Gravesend - with the proper skin. Yeah, too bad the screenshots failed. Upon landing at Gravesend I saw the Germans had bombed two of our hangars, only the large one was still standing. So, I picked a 110 laden with bombs, climbed it up to really high, flew up the Thames estuary to Gravesend, dropped both bombs... and missed the big hangar. Oh well - it's still good fun that ole' Cliffs...
