Starway over at the DCS forums has released his Vietnam Mod for DCS, and I think he did a terrific job! It's basically a repaint of the oh-so-well-known Black Sea region to resemble the southeast asian theatre. It's not a historically accurate map of Vietnam. It's just different textures for terrain, trees and buildings. But it's already a fantastic addon for the Huey, P-51 or Mig 21. And easy to install/uninstall using JSGME.

That terrain looks fantastic. Nice skin on the Slick too.

nhenley85 did a great vietnam-era skin for the p-51, check it out :

When I was a kid living here in Sarasota, Fla. we had Cavalier Aircraft outfitting some Mustangs for both Private and Military stuff. There was a Turboprop Mustang called the Enforcer and other more normal looking ones outfitted with multiple wing pylons and wingtip tanks and wearing Spinach and Sand camouflage.

Your post led me to google Wikipedia:wiki entry . Interesting, though it pains me to see the Mustang's clean lines butchered in such a fashion.

Holy crap! That is just fantastic... I don't suppose he did something about those infantry models?

No, it's just different textures for terrain, trees and (some) buildings.


@EightBall: thanks, that's a great skin for the Mustang!

Wow. That terrain certainly looks good. My kingdom for an F-4E!

I just had to try this mod and I really enjoy the vibe of it. It's good fun setting up some CAS missions and just watch those Sabres going rocket crazy (yes the national guard had to go there in -65 with their old Sabres ... read a book!)



This one really looks like Vietnam. That hill is just the perfect place for a fire base. I got to setup a re-supply mission with artillery firing. Too bad the embark/disembark is still broken .. I got to say, with those great helicopters available I thought they would hot fix that in an instant.



Really nice texture this one, really makes the F-86 look the part.

Beautiful pics mate! It really looks like Vietnam, shame they didn't created the gunship Hueys too.

Charlie I had "Fortunate Son" running in my head looking at those screens.

How much more gunship than rocket pods, miniguns and door gunners do you need?

Maybe he means the Grenade Launcher one...

There IS a whole lot of variants not present.
I actually came up with a plan to have the loudspeakers with Ride of the Valkyries on the Huey.
I just need to find what are the regulations with musical rights management.

these shots are really nice
