Looking forward to flying the Mi-8 over that, sometime this year, possibly...

You do appreciate the work that needs to go into a dynamic campaign, don't you? It's more than just clicking a "make dynamic campaign generator" button.
Yes I am pretty well aquainted with software development,
but why bother having a poll if you are going to ignore the results?
People have been asking for a dynamic campaign gen for years on their forums
But like I said, more money to be made in milking the customer for DLC campaign after campaign

Carriers are ok to land on (pretty big)
Oil rig landing platform is a bit harder
Hardest is to land on frigate that is moving
go to multiplayer and check out the havoc-company DCS world server , we run a training server to let you practise such things

The Huey quick mission "Oil Rig landing" is also a nice test of skill.

I normally take off from Batumi then head to the harbour, can land on rooftops on the way there then practice landing on the containers on the far side of the harbour.

Thanks, picked up the spit myself. Still need to meet up with you in the rift at some point!

I'd forgotten I'd backed the WW2 kickstarter - I'll get Normandy as part of that 
Edit:- it's looking kinda pretty too

Normandy map released today, along with the 2.1 update. Just downloading right now. Can't wait to fly my Spit over Caen, though I think I'll have a ganders around Merville in the Huey first.
So loving this "game".

I've found running in Windowed mode gives a big boost in performance with Normandy - getting near time for a GPU upgrade I think.....

I started to loose interest after DLC after DLC was released
I loved A10 - and they days of it being one aircraft
but when I bought the P-51 in the sales etc - it confirmed my fears that sometimes the DLC just does not "fit" - ie there now seems a real miss-mash of eras of aircraft, vehicles, ships etc - am I wrong ?
when I bought the P-51D - there seemed to me practically nothing really to do with it - as an example - flight model fantastic - but ultimately boring when not a lot to do

Fundamentally there are two eras in DCS - modern and WW2. A-10 was no better fit than Ka-50, or Mi-8, or F15/su27/su25 etc, because they are all part of that modern air combat era.
P-51 (Dora, bf109, Spit) was certainly more out of place, DCS was more of an airshow sim and had to be treated as such. But now, with the release of Normandy, it seems that WW2 birds are as fully integrated as anything in DCS. I still prefer IL2:Stalingrad for WW2 air combat, but we'll see what happens from now on
Having said that, A-10C and Ka-50 are what I associate DCS with as well, spent a lot of time in them and it was memorable stuff. Not just the flight dynamics and such, but the voiced over campaigns and missions that were pretty spot on.
