Had a fun time flying over Germany with @chipwich , @miRage and @tempusmurphy . Sorry you had to leave so early Lee… but what a dramatic exit you made! If it’s any consolation, I bent my gear and skidded off the runway on landing 
It was my first flight using a Stream Deck (standard 15 button unit). It worked great for some of the harder to get to buttons and switches in the F4 front office.

Likewise, Paul. Yeah, two run-offs, and a flame out was quite a dramatic ending for a rather unproductive mission. The bad guys were certainly disciplined for holding their fire 
Kudos for getting some bullets on target. I’m going to take a look at that mission to make it more palatable.

OK, I found out what happened to the OFOR. Derby’s mission and the one that I wanted to fly had similar names, so my bad. We were actually flying the same mission as the last meeting, which had limited enemy. No matter, the one that I wanted to try had limited slots. I’m editing it to be more suited for our meetings and shaping it more as a NATO vs Warsaw Pact sandbox.
I hope that no one minds that I’ve added one community mod, the OH-6A. So for rotor, we’ll have OH-58, OH-6, AH-64, CH-47, UH-1, and SA342 to chose from. For jet aircraft will be 80’s NATO, so will remove the rest of the Soviet and non period correct aircraft from the Blue side.
I’m also enabling Dot-Neutral labels for those of us flying in VR, with range set to automatic. If that becomes too much of a crutch, we can disable them.

Nice flying with you guys.
@PaulRix I first read you were flying on a Steam Deck before I saw that I missed an R
Some screens I posted on Discord:
The weather, while visually spectacular, made this mission really challenging. Those rain squalls made it almost impossible to see the targets (or the runway).

If that’s my quick and dirty freeflight mission with a few targets around Goslar then yeah, the weather looks stunning and I’ve set it up in a way to make things interesting. It does require some good planning including the choice of weapon, flight plan, target etc. I loved hunting the SA-8 and SA-9 in the Phantom when I flew it with the squadron. I now have a version where I integrated one of the IADS framework missions and flew a strike on one of the SA-2 sites. Doing strikes on fixed targets is challenging but works really well if you choose the right weapons and a suitable attack profile.
Doing any kind of more dynamic missions where you need to hit moving targets is much more challenging of course.
Edit: linking Discord attachments doesn’t really work anymore. They’ll only be visible from within discord after a while.

I’d love to.
Wanna touch shoulders in a Gazelle in Germany? Wir können so tun, als sei es ein Bundeswehr Bo-105.
I’m no Lua script wizard but I can put some tanks in a clearing.
It’s been way too long since I flew. Perhaps the curse of having built a proper pit? (nah it’s the selfhosting hobby that picked up again but there seems to be a pattern here)

I’m literally up for anything. Possibly without adversarial activity- I’d like to learn something else than “how do I look like when I receive a missile to the face?”.

Maybe I can sneak in some SA-7 MANPADS, SA-8’s, SA-9’s, KS-19 AAA and a few SA-2, SA-3 and SA-5 to top it off. Make things interesting, you know?

Honestly, I actually prefer a nice smoky SAM over getting sniped by 120mm
