DCS Screenshots [2025]

[TeTeT]

Couldn’t resist the urge to do a “canyon” run in the middle Rhine valley with the new Hercules… I started west from Ramstein and made my way north to the Rhine.

Here we are the Nahe, a smaller river meandering it’s way north towards the Rhine.

Here we see the cut between the hills where our first leg ends, Bingen - random fact: I was born there

No, those cargo ships don’t sail the Rhine … the passenger boat looks much more believable.

It seems the landscape got a bit of a make-over, the vineyards are not detailed, but at least it’s not all forest. The villages however seem to be a bit undersized.

Pull-up, Pull-up, yeah, I know…

Eventually we make it to Koblenz.

I leave the Moselle for another day.

They do, though not this far up the river. I think up to cologne at most. Ruhrort sees these kind of ships regularly. I see one in particular every few weeks on my commute so I looked it up and it usually goes to the UK and then back to Rotterdam and then Ruhrort.

Tomorrow’s challenge is to fly even lower.

The reflection are particularly sexy in a cold and dark pit at night.

Climbing out of Hamburg

Got an escort in form af a Viper

Show off!

Descending through clouds

5 miles to Köln-Bonn Flughafen

Note to self: when flying the Herc solo, set up for landing early and get everything setup correctly! I crashed while trying to turn on the landing lights

Everywhere I’ve been flying these days has had crap weather for screenshots.

Some night flying:

At EDDK, engines 1&2 spinning up simultaneously with a little additional bleed air from engine 3

Taxiing to RWY25

Climbing out of Köln-Bonn

FL250, cruise altitude

Close to Hannover

Descending through clouds, landing lights are already on, Inbound EDDH, RWY23 via AGATI, PISAS

ILS captured, approach mode on

On final

forgot to take more screens but it was a smoth landing and I excited RWY23 on Papa.

Edit: I had to disable approach mode around 3 miles out because the turbulance kicked the nose around so much that it started hunting the ILS like crazy. I was pretty busy keeping the runway lined up as well.

For a moment I thought I was in a MSFS thread, the night lighting on Germany looks superb.

I love the way the lights on the ground illuminate the low hanging clouds at night. Germany and Sinai have the best night lighting imho

[schurem]

That bodes well for the upcoming Balkans map
