I've just flown BFT 12 Flying low level and what a surprise I ramp started at Batumi then followed the IP took off and then joinned on his wing when we entered the MOA from there we flew a series of steerpoints at 500ft before finally heading to Kobeleti. Upon arriving I switched to 133Mhz and radioed the tower for landing. After landing I was told to turn down the right taxiway and park on the 1st revetment on the Left, Sabre had hinted at doing a U-turn inside the revetment as part of an Easter Egg. After parking I then had 2minutes to shut down(this timeI did not forget to turn the ILS off or the oxygen- previous failures on attempting to finish this mission). And to my surprise I past with a speech from the IP and the ground crew showed up to congratulate. Quite an awesome mission I highly reccomend it.

Great news for DCS A-10C pilots the flight qualification campaign has been completed and is available for $4.99.

I helped test some of these missions while they were being developed by Sabre they are the best trainning missions I've ever done.

@skimmer,
Any Hawg fan should own both DCS and the Iris model for FSX. I spend a great of time when not "at the boat" flying the Warthog in FSX. I had held on to hope that the A-10 would be one of the models Iris corrects in 2012 and adds the "C" cockpit, now that I have seen the 15E, shouldn't be an issue for their gauge designer. Be warned, it is very hard to fly the DCS and then get back in the FSX model, even with one developers Weps pack. Looking into mission builders now for FSX strictly for the Iris, so I can fly at least accurate low levels.

SUBS17,
I was finally able to get DCS working with v1.1.1.0 after I had access to a faster ISP, I understand there is an update out??? The link is broken above.

Rgr link is fixed:

I've just finished flying the 4th mission in the payware BFT campaign and so far it is quite good. Compared to the early versions which had quite a few bugs this seems to run quite good the 1st mission I tested was the Interactive startup mission which comes with the startup list and as you do the mission prompts you to push buttons if it takes to long. (very similar to the one for Falcon BMS) The BFT missions are quite good the 1st being Ground handling which is the same as the 1st one tested where you taxi behind a humvee after a rampstart and drive around the airbase followed by parking up and shut down procedure. 2nd mission was Take off and EFATO so you take off the shut down one engine and turn back for a landing.

Heres some tracks of my flights for those who have the BFT campaign.

I may make some more movies of some of the flights later on.

Cost is
Interactive startup trainer $0.99US
BFT Campaign $4.99 US

I also got the first payware FC2 mission F-15 First kill $0.99 which is a mission based on the Israeli Air Force first F-15 A/A combat mission.

DCS World news

And Iris is now making 3 addon aircraft for DCS.

So where do I start?!?

About two weeks ago, I was approached by Matt Wagner, one of the producers over at The Fighter Collection about the development of DCS World, a modular based combat system for 3rd party add-on content. I had been a long time fan of the Eagle Dynamics crew from a few years ago, with LOMAC, DCS A-10C and other similar products.

After some long discussions with the producers and with the IRIS Team, we decided that it would be of great benefit to us to embrace this new platform with open arms. We knew from the get-go that this would be a massive investment in time and man hours, as we had to basically relearn everything we'd developed before.

For those of you who don't know, we've been developing add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator for over a decade and we've worked with various industry professionals and air forces worldwide during that time. Whilst that knowledge has served us in good stead until know, we know that really, the only elements common to both DCS and MSFS was the 3D model and the artwork.

So we're hard at work learning how DCS World works, how aircraft and mods fit into the grand scheme of things, and how to read russian..  The team is also working hard forging new friendships and working relationships with ED team members and forum members to best learn how things work.

At the moment then, it's a LOT of groundwork laying the foundation from which to develop some fantastic military aircraft for the DCS world platform. We're enthusiastic and positive within the team... Daily we go from giddy enthusiasm at the open doors ahead to outright dread at what the heck we've gotten ourselves into!

Still, we forge onwards. We hope that the community will provide us with feedback on what they'd like us to develop and how they think we're progressing. It is a new path for us, and we realise that whilst we're old hands at developing for MSFS, we know very little in the realm of DCS. We hope you will all join in on this new journey with us and enjoy some of the products we have planned.

Thanks guys.

David.
