How many of you have tried improvised road operations in the Phantom?
Truth be told, it’s actually easy. Ridiculously easy. I honestly think a new player could be taught simple short-field operations and a ‘slam dunk’ approach method, and they’d be perfectly capable.
How’s the Phantom finding it’s targets? Working on an O-1 Bird Dog, originating from an Arma 3 mod by Odyseus, early WIP shots:
Like any other Fighter 
Aerial contacts with AWACS, GCI, Radar, RWR; ground targets with good planning, wild weasel tactics, RWR, talk on etc.
I want to give laseing a target for a phantom from a Kiowa a throw, to see how well it works 
If the game supports it, probably easier than trying to lase in the Phantom itself 
Impossible in my kind of missions, that would be suicide 
Much better to have another asset designate the target so you can maneuver to safety.

SAM Launch SA-2
That first shot is fantastic!!
Somebody is looking forward to the Iraq map 
Those were screenshots from a concept Tobi and I are working on.
A persistant multiplayer server centered around civilian aviation.
A mix of AirHauler/FSE, Simcopter and GTA. Within the DCS limitations
Basically, you’re a freelance helo pilot, at first you can get basic transport jobs and then as you gain money and reputation you have the ability to do VIP transport, SAR, police, etc.
Still in its infancy but we already have a stat system that tracks how many flight hours you have, how many successful missions, how much money you have.
I would have a lot of fun with this if Huey/Hip/Hook are supported in it as well.
Very strong vibes here! ABSOLUTELY stunning!
What it needs is this skin though…
even if it’s a different helo.
And just in case, I am down to create it.
Pretty sure that skin comes with the mod, but I haven’t flown it since the first iteration.

Thanks for the offer but as Clutch said, the skin is already part of the mod
Yup, the Huey, the Gazelle and the Hip will definitely be part of it. Hopefully we can also make the Chinook, the Yak-52, the CE2 and Combined Arms fit into all this.
As a side note, if you were put off by the flight model of the initial release, I would invite you to try v1.4. It’s a completely different beast. Tobi has also been fine tuning the suspension code and the landing are a lot more cushy now, quite satisfying.
BRILLIANT!
This sounds awesome. Please make sure you make a new thread once you’re close to launch. This idea deserves full attention.
I’m not sure of the OH-6/360/500 variants but a V tailed 500C was used in Magnum P.I. in some episodes. It’s not that visually different from the OH-6.
