Here's a couple of vids and lots of pics from the new Iraq map, first impressions are really good Some pics,

Good stuff Colin, thank you

Now with added F-4 option, not gonna lie, bit more difficult, as you trying to look out the front and between your legs at the same time! Two F-4E spawns available same as the F-16 ones, TACAN and ILS already set at spawn in, mission attached, f-16 ILS landing.miz

Here's a little challenge for all of you Viper pilots, a blind landing approach using the ILS to land, utilising the new fog settings in the mission builder for a low visibility landing, mission attached. 2 F-16's are available, one 50 miles out to use TACAN to get on the correct radial before switching to ILS, and the second one 10 miles out on radial and correct height for a straight in ILS approach. If using the second spawn, best to start in active pause and enter the correct Tacan and ILS frequency into the DED before unpausing. Its a relief when the runway comes into view!!! f-16 ILS landing.miz

The text will be larger, double what it was cause i just increased the font size by double cause 4k is twice the height of 1080 and cause the abbreviated icon setting that we tend to use, which is the '^' is linked by the font size, so that part is easy to change to personal preference. If you open the file in something like notepad++ its line 151, local default_font = {"DejaVuLGCSans.ttf", 30, 0, 0, 0} Technically it should be 26 not 30, as it was 13 originally, but that was close enough when i compared the screens and i was to lazy to change it again. I never really used text icons before so I can't remember how big the text was. I just used old screen shots to check and get the abbreviated icons to the same size as they were before. It looks like you can do a huge amount of customisation including distance and fade in fade out in that file, names at different ranges, if you can work out the right bits!!! In an ideal world, I'd of just increased the size of the ^ and left the text the same size, but I can't see how you unlink them easily if at all. Editing .lua files is not my speciality though! Edit, found some old screenshots i made showing the difference between pre multithreading and post, when both versions were available, pre, post multithreading,

Since multithreading came out, icons have not scaled with resolution, making them almost impossible to see in 4K. After waiting for a fix for ages, I decided to see what I could do myself, and after some research I've edited the labels.lua file and got them back to where they were before they got broken, just put this file attached here at the bottom of this post. C:\Users\*****\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View some screens, Labels.lua

Was a lot of fun,

Woah missed this, I hope you had a great birthday FT, and had a thoroughly enjoyable day

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

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

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

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