DCS 2.5.x Screenshots (2020)

Goodness that’s beautiful! Why did we ever start painting warplanes with boring grey colours instead of polishing the skin*! I had to do a double take because my brain wanted to see a Mirage III or something instead of a modern aircraft, heheh…

(*Rhetorical question - I know real aircraft don’t look like that under the paint anymore…but a man can dream)

Imo the best looking jets are late 70s us navy. Gloss grey and whites, yellow nose cones and colourful markings on every bird, not just the cag bird. They were glorious.

All from the Syria map.


Another pic of Krak des Chevaliers through a “gun sight”


…a Syria map Easter Egg?…the USAF Crash and Salvage team at Incirlik AB practicing fire fighting!
…really? → (not really, I made that myself to see how it would look…pretty cool)


A precise landing - a Hip just barely fits on the flight deck of an OHP FFG.

Stopping by to say "hello"to Bashar…

My customary 9/11 flight in some kind of Murica-themed livery. I could have sworn there was one with a 9/11 tribute on the speedbrake but I couldn’t find it.

prepping for takeoff on a ground attack mission


attempting to look professional doing the nosewheel take off


nice scenery on the way


targets marked with smoke from a friendly jtac… Rolling in hot

when i notice red tracers coming back, from a ZSU23 site

rockets winchester, going for guns … this was probably a mistake on my part …

in the original mission, I took a hit to the right engine and limped about 2 miles before crashing, but in the replay I took a burst of 23mm straight to the cockpit killing everyone … and I didnt get a shot of the burning wreckage.

Nice work! I am yet to master it…I haven’t really properly tried but whenever I give it a quick shot I end up with this retarded wonky roll and don’t get the proper nose down attitude before it’s time to pick up the nose wheel.

Add some block lettering overlaid and you’d have a premium click-bait video thumbnail! :rofl:

Just a nice-click bait title to go along with it, with random parts in capital and Mbot can be the next Youtube millionaire!

“This OLD us NAVY SUPERWEAPON can stop MODERN RUSSIAN MACH 10 cruise MISSILES”

Then just have some text-to-speech read the AIM-54 wikipedia page out loud to some random footage and you’re golden.

Well…obviously a passenger was sneaking a smoke in the aft restroom…that’s a definite “No, No”

Testing continues on my squadrons persistent Syria map featuring Skynet controlled, overlapping SA-6, SA-11 and SA-10s which are protected by SHORADS such as SA-15, SA-8, SA-13, SA-9 and Manpads. You can built FOBs and FARPs using helicopters, fly CAS and CSAR with Helis and A-10Cs, call in artillery strikes with helicopters, Deep Strike, SEAD, DEAD, CAP, and OCA missions can all be flown simultanously against AI or player controlled CAP and destroyed units are saved and will reappear as wrecks after a server restart. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. The A-10C and helicopters are so much fun on a detailed map like Syria.

Shooting a buddy is sometimes necessary to remind them not to overfly targets directly

A friendly Gazelle flies through my TGPs FOV

Climbing out of Incirlik:

I have plans

The Hog will always bring you home:

That’s going to hurt!

Last light of the day

Hit by a Shilka, losing fuel, I head for the tanker

RTB:

Having flown recon in the A-10C it’s up to the Hornets to attack a heavily defended helicopter base:

An SA-15 engages incoming JSOWs as targets inside the base are struck

After a quick refuel in the dark (when are they going to fix the probe light?!? Refueling with NVGs is a b****!) I have some excess fuel to burn as I head back to the carrier
