	Our DCS Server is up and running.
</p>

<p>
	In a Beta form still, stay tuned here for the latest news on it.
</p>

<p>
	- Runs the latest-1 version of Fenrir's 'DD_All Planes Jet Practise' mission, and it does so... endlessly at the moment. So, in the end, ships will reach the harbor, it will turn dark, it will hang itself probably. Ie. there's no automatic restart yet...
</p>

<p>
	- A4 is in the mission, but only on ground start, so it will go BOOM!
</p>

<p>
	<em>Here's what I think is currently installed on our server, should a re-install be neccesary, these commands should be run:</em>

<pre class="ipsCode prettyprint lang-html prettyprinted" id="ips_uid_5145_5" style=""><span class="pln">cd\DCS\Bin

	Hello Chaps.
</p>

<p>
	I am thinking that wee need to get another foothold off the ground and running to spice up the evenings a bit more. I am looking at loading up the Persian Gulf, however....
</p>

<p>
	Foothold seems to have moved on quite a bit since we last run it and I have just found the attached manual which I think we should all have a read of before we start as there seems to be lots of config that can take place before we start.

	I also updated my own to the same version and can now get the connections shown below when bringing up the SRS overlay.

	Salute
</p>

<p>
	With it being too cold and wet for Pickle ball this evening I have decided to take a further look into the new cargo functionality.
</p>

<p>
	This evening I have....
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Loaded up a CH47 with the contents of a FARP.
	</li>
	<li>
		Flew to a location and unloaded to have a FARP location be spawned in.
	</li>
	<li>
		Returned to base and loaded up with jet fuel and Hell fires then returned to the FARP which previously had zero stores.
	</li>
	<li>
		Unloaded and checked the stores to find it now had a stock of jet fuel and Hellfires
	</li>
	<li>
		Returned to base and despawned to come back in aboard an Apache.
	</li>
	<li>
		Spawned in empty with only 20% fuel
	</li>
	<li>
		Took off to the new FARP and landed and was able to re-arm with hellfires (which were removed from the stock of the FARP) and also refuel (with the volume also being removed from the FARP).
	</li>
	<li>
		Returned to base and respawned in a Huey (yes Huey's can now cargo like the others)
	</li>
	<li>
		Loaded up some Aim 120's, too many in fact as I could not get off the ground <span><span><img alt=":(" data-emoticon="true" height="20" loading="lazy" src="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_sad.png" srcset="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/sad@2x.png 2x" title=":(" width="20">  threw some out and tried again.</span></span>
	</li>
	<li>
		<span><span>Went to the FARP and dropped off my load (no laughing at the back)</span></span>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	<span><span>Ideas for missions please?</span></span>

	Hello chaps
</p>

<p>
	I would like to propose we hold off starting the next campaign until the Herc has been released (which should be very soon) and has been updated into the Campaign logic.
</p>

<p>
	If this gets pushed back by a chunk then we will start it regardless in a few weeks and update when appropriate.

	I have put a "No Mods" version of the above on the server (no v1 rocket) and thought we could play it when circumstances permit.
</p>

<p>
	Full details below;
</p>

<p>
	# WWII Normandy Foothold - Player Guide
</p>

<p>
	## Mission Overview
</p>

<p>
	Welcome to the WWII Normandy Foothold dynamic campaign! This is a persistent territory control mission where the Blue coalition (Allies) fights to liberate France from Red coalition (Axis) control. Your actions directly impact the outcome of the campaign.
</p>

<p>
	### Mission Versions
</p>

<p>
	**Two versions are available:**
</p>

<p>
	- **Full Version** (`WWII_Normandy_Foothold_Custom_v1.0.miz`) - Requires all mods installed for complete functionality<br>
	- **No Mods Version** (`WWII_Normandy_Foothold_Custom_v1.0_nomods.miz`) - **No mods required**, but V1 rocket launchers will be non-functional
</p>

<p>
	**Note:** If playing the nomods version, V1 launch sites will exist on the map but cannot fire rockets due to the missing V1 launcher mod. All other mission features remain fully functional.<br>
	            If you switch between versions you will have to delete or rename the file foothold_normandy_1.0.lua
</p>

<p>
	## Getting Started
</p>

<p>
	### Spawning In
</p>

<p>
	When you spawn at any airfield or carrier, you will receive:<br>
	- **Automatic Callsign Assignment** with IFF code<br>
	- **Weather Information** (wind, temperature, altimeter)<br>
	- **Active Runway Information** (for airbases)<br>
	- **BRC Information** (for carrier operations)
</p>

<p>
	---
</p>

<p>
	## Territory Control System
</p>

<p>
	### Zone Types
</p>

<p>
	**Capturable Zones:**<br>
	- **Airbases** - Can be captured and upgraded with supplies<br>
	- **Cities** - Strategic locations providing income<br>
	- **Ports** - Critical for naval operations<br>
	- **Railway Stations** - Supply network hubs
</p>

<p>
	**Special Zones:**<br>
	- **Radar Sites** - Provide enemy early warning (Pointe des Groins, Pointe du Hoc, Cap Gris-Nez)<br>
	- **V1 Launch Sites** - Active rocket launching facilities<br>
	- **Hidden Railway Subzones** - Automatically sync with parent zone control
</p>

<p>
	### Zone Status
</p>

<p>
	- **Blue (Allied)** - Friendly territory<br>
	- **Red (Axis)** - Enemy territory<br>
	- **Neutral (Gray)** - Contested/unoccupied
</p>

<p>
	### Capturing Zones
</p>

<p>
	**Ground Units:**<br>
	Zones are captured when:<br>
	1. All enemy units in the zone are destroyed<br>
	2. Friendly ground units enter and hold the zone<br>
	3. Supply convoys successfully reach neutral zones
</p>

<p>
	**Supply Delivery:**<br>
	Neutral zones can be captured by:<br>
	- Using **Emergency Capture** from F10 menu (500 credits)<br>
	- Waiting for automatic supply convoy arrival<br>
	- C47 cargo delivery (not landing due to DCS , orbiting in zone to capture)<br>
	- Train &amp; Trucks supply convoy (train will continuously move between zone , due to DCS it can'y be late activated)
</p>

<p>
	---
</p>

<p>
	## Supply &amp; Logistics
</p>

<p>
	### Supply Mechanics
</p>

<p>
	**What Supply Does:**<br>
	- Spawns defensive units (infantry, armor, AAA)<br>
	- Repairs damaged units<br>
	- Upgrades zone defenses<br>
	- Required to capture neutral zones
</p>

<p>
	**Supply Costs:**<br>
	- **Resupply Zone**: 200 credits<br>
	- **Fully Upgrade Zone**: 1,000 credits<br>
	- **Emergency Capture**: 500 credits
</p>

<p>
	### Supply Routes (Arrows on Map)
</p>

<p>
	**Blue Arrow (Road Supply):**<br>
	- Convoy trains &amp; truck routes between zones<br>
	- Vulnerable to air attack<br>
	- Slower but more flexible<br>
	- Air supply by C-47
</p>

<p>
	**Train Icon (Railway Supply):**<br>
	- Fast, efficient supply lines<br>
	- Follows railway infrastructure<br>
	- **Destroyed if railway station is destroyed**
</p>

<p>
	### Supply Convoys
</p>

<p>
	**Automatic Behavior:**<br>
	- AI commander automatically dispatches supply missions<br>
	- Convoys spawn from friendly zones<br>
	- Travel to zones needing supplies or under threat<br>
	- Priority given to:<br>
	  - Neutral zones near capture<br>
	  - Damaged friendly zones<br>
	  - Frontline positions
</p>

<p>
	**Player Missions:**<br>
	Generated every 2-5 minutes, tracked in mission list:<br>
	- "**Resupply [Zone]**" - Escort supply convoy<br>
	- Completion awards credits and helps war effort
</p>

<p>
	---
</p>

<p>
	## Railway System
</p>

<p>
	### Railway Infrastructure
</p>

<p>
	**Railway Stations (Critical Targets!):**<br>
	Each major zone has hidden railway depots that supply military units:
</p>

<p>
	**Blue Railways:**<br>
	- London → Farnborough, Manston, Ford, Chailey, Hawkinge
</p>

<p>
	**Red Railways:**<br>
	- Paris → Orly, Saint-Andre, Fecamp, Saint-Aubain<br>
	- Cherbourg → Valognes → Le Molay → Caen<br>
	- Le Havre → Fecamp, Rouen<br>
	- Amiens → Abbeville → Le Touquet<br>
	- Dunkirk-Port → Calais
</p>

<p>
	### Railway Destruction Effects
</p>

<p>
	**When you destroy a railway station:**<br>
	1. **All dependent train groups immediately destroyed**<br>
	2. **Supply route permanently broken** (shown on map)<br>
	3. **Bonus credits awarded** (2,000 per dependent unit destroyed)<br>
	4. **Strategic impact message** displayed
</p>

<p>
	**Example:** Destroying the railway at Abbeville stops all trains running:<br>
	- Amiens → Abbeville<br>
	- Abbeville → Le Touquet
</p>

<p>
	### Finding Railway Targets
</p>

<p>
	Railway stations are **hidden subzones** near major airbases and cities. Look for:<br>
	- Railway track clusters<br>
	- Train depot buildings<br>
	- Fuel tanks near tracks<br>
	- Static train cars<br>
	- photos of targets are available in kneeboards
</p>

<p>
	**Tip:** Use low-altitude reconnaissance to locate exact positions before bombing runs.
</p>

<p>
	### Train Groups
</p>

<p>
	**Active Train Routes:**<br>
	- Carry supplies between zones<br>
	- **1,000 credit bonus** for destroying enemy trains
</p>

<p>

<p>
	## V1 Rocket Sites
</p>

<p>
	### <span class="ipsEmoji">⚠️</span> Nomods Version Limitation
</p>

<p>
	**If playing the nomods version (`WWII_Normandy_Foothold_Custom_v1.0_nomods.miz`):**<br>
	- V1 launch sites exist on the map<br>
	- Sites can still be destroyed for bonus credits (500 cr each)<br>
	- **V1 rockets will NOT launch** due to missing V1 launcher mod<br>
	- All other gameplay features remain functional
</p>

<p>
	### Destroying V1 Sites
</p>

<p>
	Each V1 site has TWO critical targets:
</p>

<p>
	#### 1. **V1 Launcher Units**<br>
	- Mobile launcher vehicles (v1_launcher, V1x10)<br>
	- Usually 1 launchers per site<br>
	- Destroy to stop rocket launches<br>
	- **Not present in nomods version**
</p>

<p>
	#### 2. **Fuel Storage Tanks**<br>
	- Static fuel tank ("toplivo-bak" model)<br>
	- One per site<br>
	- Destruction of fuel tank will simulate destruction of launcher and Fire control with multiple explosions<br>
	- **Required for site destruction bonus and disable the zone**
</p>

<p>
	### Complete Destruction Process
</p>

<p>
	**Step 1:** Locate V1 site zone (marked on map)
</p>

<p>
	**Step 2:** Destroy all launcher units<br>
	- Bomb or strafe launcher vehicles<br>
	- Site will be still active unless fuel tank is destroyed at mission restart (but no more launch possible if launcher was destroyed)
</p>

<p>
	**Step 3:** Destroy fuel tank<br>
	- Usually near launchers<br>
	- Large static fuel tank model<br>
	- **Napalm effect triggers on destruction!**
</p>

<p>
	**Step 4:** Site permanently disabled<br>
	- Zone marked as destroyed<br>
	- **500 credit bonus** awarded<br>
	- Message: "V1 Launch Site at [Name] Destroyed"
</p>

<p>
	### Napalm Effect
</p>

<p>
	When fuel tanks are destroyed:<br>
	- Large explosion triggered<br>
	- Fire effects spread<br>
	- Nearby units damaged<br>
	- Big smoke column (visual marker)
</p>

<p>
	### V1 Site Locations
</p>

<p>
	1. **V1 Launch Site - Brecourt**<br>
	2. **V1 Launch Site - Herbouville**<br>
	3. **V1 Launch Site - Val Ygot**<br>
	4. **V1 Launch Site - Crecy Forest**<br>
	5. **V1 Launch Site - Flixecourt**<br>
	6. **V1 Launch Site - Wallon-Cappel**<br>
	7. **V1 Launch Site - Neuville**
</p>

<p>
	Each site has hidden fuel tank: "Fueltank-[SiteName]"

	## Tips &amp; Strategies
</p>

<p>
	### For New Players
</p>

<p>
	1. **Start Simple**<br>
	   - Spawn at BigginHill or Farnborough<br>
	   - Check F10 missions<br>
	   - Escort supply convoys first<br>
	   - Learn the map layout
</p>

<p>
	2. **Use ATIS**<br>
	   - Always get weather before takeoff<br>
	   - Check closest friendly airbase<br>
	   - Know your emergency alternates
</p>

<p>
	3. **Watch Your Credits**<br>
	   - Don't waste on unnecessary purchases<br>
	   - Save for strategic upgrades<br>
	   - Death costs 100 credits!
</p>

<p>
	4. **Mission Priority**<br>
	   - Resupply missions help the most<br>
	   - Attack missions when confident<br>
	   - CAP missions for air combat practice
</p>

<p>
	### Advanced Tactics
</p>

<p>
	1. **Railway Interdiction**<br>
	   - Study railway supply map<br>
	   - Target choke points<br>
	   - Destroy stations for maximum impact<br>
	   - Follow up on broken supply lines
</p>

<p>
	2. **V1 Site Elimination**<br>
	   - Recon first - locate fuel tanks<br>
	   - Use heavy ordnance<br>
	   - Confirm both launchers AND tank destroyed<br>
	   - Watch for napalm effect
</p>

<p>
	3. **Coordinated Strikes**<br>
	   - Time attacks with bomber events<br>
	   - Use Dynamic CAS + player CAS<br>
	   - Clear air defenses before bombers arrive<br>
	   - Escort is force multiplier
</p>

<p>
	4. **Income Strategy**<br>
	   - Prioritize capturing income zones<br>
	   - Defend income zones from attack<br>
	   - Upgrade defenses at income locations<br>
	   - Passive income funds the war
</p>

<p>
	## Troubleshooting
</p>

<p>
	### Common Issues
</p>

<p>
	**"No ATIS available"**<br>
	- Airbase not Blue controlled<br>
	- Check zone status on map<br>
	- Capture airbase first
</p>

<p>
	**"Supply convoy not arriving"**<br>
	- Railway destroyed - use road supply<br>
	- Zone surrounded - clear route<br>
	- Use Emergency Capture (500 cr)
</p>

<p>
	**"CAP mission not generating"**<br>
	- No enemy aircraft in area<br>
	- Previous CAP on cooldown<br>
	- Check enemy air activity
</p>

<p>
	**"Credits not awarded"**<br>
	- Target may be neutral<br>
	- Check coalition of target<br>
	- Some units worth 0 credits
</p>

<p>
	### Performance
</p>

<p>
	**If experiencing lag:**<br>
	- Dynamic events spawn many units<br>
	- Multiple convoys running<br>
	- Use "Destroy Group" commands for finished AI missions<br>
	- Some automatic cleanup occurs
</p>

	<strong>Date: 22nd May 2025</strong>
</p>

<p>
	Following good teamwork from myself, Blubear, Delta, Max and Fenrir we were able to take out Bravo SAM site and then subsequently capture Sochi airfield, despite the Red forces taking it back after we had initially made it neutral.
</p>

<p>
	So we have now moved a little further up the coast.
</p>

<p>
	The campaign continues to throw up different challenges each week and I would once again like to thank <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/profile/1514-wingflyr/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="1514" href="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/profile/1514-wingflyr/" rel="">@wingflyr</a> for the suggestion.

</p>

<p>
	I am just writing up the F16 setting up the Datalink.
</p>

<p>
	I think it would make more sense if we all agreed to start with 00201 for slot 1 and so on 00202 for slot 2?
</p>

<p>
	Rather than starting at 00200 for slot 1

	I was sad to read of the departure of The Fighter Collection's Corsair from Duxford this year after 30+ years in the UK, now heading to a new owner in the US.<br />
	However, the warbird industry benefits from the back and forth of assets and a small consolation was the welcome addition of a Lysander project, that'll be three in the UK, a sight not seen for many years.
</p>

<p>
	That said, the recent news of TFC also selling their unique and lovely, super shiny P-36 and the continued silence around the future of Flying Legends, made me wonder if there's more going on here.
</p>

<p>
	Many are aware that DCS are in legal battles with some of their 3rd party developers, RAZBAM reportedly haven't been paid by ED for over a year. I didn't realise but apparently other Devs such as Heatblur also report not being paid on time.<br />
	<em><span style="font-size:12px;">(For those that didn't know, Nick Grey of The Fighter Collection also owns Eagle Dynamics.)</span></em>

<p>
	Now, I don't usually get involved in any of the DCS forum madness, but an aviation forum led me down this rabbit hole: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DCSExposed/?rdt=59385" rel="external nofollow">Exploring The Dark Sides Of Digital Combat Simulator</a> <span class="ipsEmoji">🤯</span>
</p>

<p>
	Ultimately, I hope ED and the devs can sort all this out and TFC stop selling off aeroplanes!

	Whilst sweltering in the Friday afternoon heat doing my chores (yes, I am the perfect husband <img alt=";)" data-emoticon="true" height="20" loading="lazy" src="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png" srcset="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" title=";)" width="20">  ) an idea came to me.
</p>

<p>
	How about we run a Foothold campaign one weekend for 24 hours straight, taking the mission through both time zones for UK/Europe and Canada/US.
</p>

<p>
	We try and get as much of the mission completed as possible with players able to come and go whenever they can?
</p>

<p>
	It would mean some changes to the server as a one off ( <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/profile/947-fooltrottel/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="947" href="https://dangerdogz.com/forums/profile/947-fooltrottel/" id="ips_uid_7672_5" rel="">@FoolTrottel</a> ? thoughts) but might be a fun way of getting as many Dogz as possible to take part in what ever way they can?
</p>

<p>
	Has the heat got to me or does this idea have any value?
</p>

	Friar
