Thanks to everyone who participated in yesterdays first DCS mission in ACG!

From the positive feedback I've got, I consider it as a solid success, Only some minor things like the number of bombers and dropped bombs and the propwash yes/no thing were discussed in the end.

A lot of people thanked me aftwards. I do appreciate that, but the thanks shouldn't go just to me.

I thank Steel for setting up and testing the DCS server for us. This took a lot of time. Great work!
And I want to thank Stefan Saveda, an old friend of mine, who built the mission for us in the editor.

And special thanks go out to the beta testers who checked this mission this week: Blondi, ArcEye, Doc and Steel again.

Great teamwork, mates!

Was no bother doing the testing meant I could practice some more.

Thanks to everyone involved.

It was a refreshing change of mission type and plane for me, seeing some of the bombers go down in flames and the flying through the carpet of parachutes was something else.

Thanks to Story for running this and everyone for showing up. Was a tense, atmospheric mission that I look forward to continuing on!

Yeah it was fun, always enjoy flying DCS Warbirds and especially the Thunderbolt.

I will try to get SRS sorted if we want to try using that. With the extension coming to the Normandy map, it opens lots of possibilities for long range missions.
