Looks great

Tamiya Panther Ausf. A 1/35 kit. My first tank for a long while and it took some time to work out how to do the zimmerit. I ended up using Holts knifing putty spread over dry wall jointing tape and I think it worked out not too bad.

I have tweaked the icon settings and uploaded the mission ready for the next time. I have turned on the usual icon detail level but also put on fog-of-war, so its hopefully middle ground difficulty wise.

I also had some stuttering but I guess it's simply time to upgrade when the current generation of AMD CPUs gets cheaper. @wingflyr thanks for guiding us through the mission. It went from being a bit frustrating at first to being absolutely awesome once we figured out who should perform which task but that's how it should be in coop scenarios 😁

Thanks for all your work , a bit frustrating last night but I can see the potential in this, much better flying missions together

Here are some tips for level bombing, wind settings are given in document below, we will be flying at 3000m bomb tutorial.docx

@wingflyr - Sorry to have kept bombing questions at you last night, thanks for your assistance in getting this off the ground. It certainly does look like it is going to keep us out of trouble for a while! Performance from my end, I saw no issues at all. I know @PapaBear reported some stutters but I think that may have been a local issue? I will look into the icon settings for the next session.

Sure, rock up when you can. Will be pleased to have you with us.

Hello! I may be a little late joining the mission today, about 15 to 30 min , is that ok? Tazman

@wingflyr - you can be "Sir" and tell us all what to do and how to do it!

I should be on tomorrow. I got my issue sorted out.

Well that makes sense then. Thanks for the reply o7

@wingflyr - ok I will go with the version you provided

The last mission was the first time that I did not add the later enemy flight, usually I have secondary spawns around 30 and 45 mins. However this was designed to be a ground attack mission so I cut these out. In future these additional flights will normally be included unless for mission specific reasons

Yes they may have the latest updates, but the one you download will work, if you choose to use that one. You can update it later along the way and will still continue to work also.

@delta7 i have a suggestion for the next mission: in the last mission we had this giant furball situation in the beginning of the mission but after that it was very calm If you think it would fit the mission setting could we please have a couple of enemy sorties fly around behind their lines to spice things up a bit? Doesn't have to be a lot. Just small sorties that try to defend rear objectives after they lost air superiority in the initial battle. This would keep everyone on their toes and emphasize sticking together more. I really liked when we attacked the bunkers together and watched each other's six during the attack runs but it wasn't really necessary since there were no enemy fighters left.

Following discussion with 352nd, as this falls on easter Sunday afternoon for the USA , we will reschedule this for the 27th April

@wingflyr - the post where you provided downloads - are they the latest versions? I saw on the ED downloads that the Caucuses version I linked to was updated in March of this year, is the _01 version you provided a different version completely?

@Squee7e It has the capability for you to fly many selections of A/C with a great feature , Dynamic spawning hot or cold with instant weapons loaded to your need for the mission.

Should i prepare a plane for that mission you selected? I feel like from what Fenrir said that the F-5 experience might be a bit underwhelming if the mission is tailored towards 4th gen fighters but i couldn't get much information about the mission details from the link you provided in the DCS server topic. It only says which features are supported by the scripts but nothing about the timeframe. I could prepare the F-15 or Su-27 from Flaming Cliffs

Friar see my other post. I would recommend you go to Leka's discord https://discord.gg/cshgmgXuxE Here is the newest and latest with updated versions. You can update them as you go with out effecting your achievement's in the mission. Lets face it when you have a DCS update, chances are something will get broken

Hi, guys. This is my take on foothold missions that we do in our evenings. They are a lot of fun. With persistence on, which auto saves as you go. There's so much to do for everybody and we work as a team, to take hold of areas and then quickly have to Support them by flying a helicopter or a HERC over, before it's taken back by red. ( and they can be aggressive) The AI are set form excellent to veteran. We play the missions with no Icons which makes it more challenging and immersive. Sometimes it's very intense. Lots of air to air. That's where we need to work together, air cover role is so important as for Ground pounding, as for support roles such as helio or Herc. Leka Who makes a variety of footholds from the previous originals(by DZSEKEB) updates them regularly and he's very dedicated to keeping them running. He's got a Discord server. link here https://discord.gg/cshgmgXuxE They are well done, they are good on frames, and a lot of fun to do. We have done most of them to the end capturing all areas, with great difficulties at times. Now with Squwak, we are continuing to do foothold missions along with other missions Modern and WW2 scenarios which Zukker, myself, and Sheriff create to keep it fresh. MA_Foothold_CA_1.0.miz MA_Foothold_SY_extended.miz MA_Foothold_PG.miz

Please see my DCS server post - lets go with an "Foothold" mission These are well done and put together by people smarter than me. .....providing it does not get two juddery on our server

For this coming Thursday (10th) as I have not had the mind to sort out my Syria Campaign I would like to propose we go to "Here is one someone else made earlier". I have downloaded an updated MA_Foothold mission based in the Caucasus. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3341245/ For those of you that have played this type of mission before it has been built with multiple scripts where you earn credits for achieving objectives that can be traded in for equipment or friendly AI flights etc It has recently been updated so should be good. It has persistence capability as well which I will enable so has the potential of lasting multiple sessions
