Reflected Simulations' Zone 5 Campaign was released today, and features expert input from Dave "Bio" Baranek. We're very lucky to have a former TopGun instructor provide input into one of the community's favorite aircraft, and lend authenticity to one of the game's new campaigns. While the game can only simulate aspects of flight combat, having people like BIO who flew in the aircraft as a RIO for many years, adds a great deal of realism to our flight experiences.

F-16C startup sequence in a night op' comparing both versions of the game. ED has recognized some bugs, predominantly in MP, and also for VR users apparently...the social media forums thick with distress calls about glitches and bugs, which hopefully can be ironed out.
This lighting under night conditions is a WIP remember, so stay tuned for more vid's of this nature, and others surrounding some of the topics discussed in my previous video about 2.5.6!
Since uploading this video, a lot of people commented on how light and washed out it was. This issue is caused by the gamma needing to be adjusted post update. See this short video here: https://youtu.be/EIr8U5vt4sc
Thanks,

With the imminent arrival of the F/18 Hornet, I thought it was time to test the carrier landing in DCS world, and at least get some sort of practice in.
I basically slammed on the deck, but I'll take it as a first go, since I'm pretty rusty. The new 2.5+ graphics modeling is outstanding, the sea looks pretty realistic, I have to say. I'm going to need some seat time however to bring my flight skills up to date and some manual reading!

That's right, stay home, play DCS and both avoid and stop the spread of Covid-19. Unless you already have it...of course...but still.
All jokes aside this was a short update. I've had a bad week having to put a cat down, and not much flying due to bugs with the free modules...irritating.
Enjoy the update, the ED identified some ballistics issues for most of the cannons in the game, tweaks are being implemented!
Stay tuned for more news and info'...

With the revelation of the AMD 6000 series cards, which shot a warning salvo over the bows of Nvidia's mothership this week, is it time to seriously think about a VR headset in the future for DVS World? I'm intrigued by the possibilities of the Oculus Quest 2, thanks to Difficulty Medium for the feedback on this as an option: forhttps://www.oculus.com/quest-2/?locale=en_US

FYI - a few loud jump scares for those headphone wearers...otherwise, enjoy!
I actually haven't refueled in months, so felt like some currency training...and all the night ops stuff meant I just plonked right into a mission to see if I could do it. What a nightmare, as I had not loaded NVGs or any aides. Big kudos to the men and women who did this IRL on long missions near enemy territory.

@november5945 said he'd only subscribe if there was "at least one video with a hedgehog."
Behold!

Juice, Budgie, Jolly Chief and Takeda get some maneuvering in on the NTTR Map. This is what happens after an almost 1 hour cross-country flight...people start getting a little stir crazy.
Just for fun of course, but it's been cool getting to grips with the FM of ED's latest module!
