Progress continues on Falklands '14 and Operation Cerberus North 2. OCN 2 writing is still underway, with the campaign's intelligence briefing currently being written and the next phase in the complex Cerberus North story-line being developed.
Falklands '14 is making steady progress with the first three missions already completed and mission 4 underway. For me personally, every mission I fly over the Falklands is a complete thrill, I am loving working on this campaign!
A wallpaper section has now been added to the VAULT, check back often for new uploads and great backdrops for your desktop.

Operation Cerberus North 2 - Development Update.
The campaigns 'world building' template has been completed. This is the first stage in any new campaign and is used as the base file for all missions in the campaign ensuring they all contain the same level of detail. The template contains all the air defenses, ground units, populated bases and custom built locations that will feature during Cerberus North 2. To save on performance AI units are spawned in based on the player's location. Areas of operations in Cerberus North and the FIWOS/LOWOS campaigns are reflected in the template as well, with visible scars on the landscape and wrecks of prior targets strewn across the battlefield.
Thanks to the fantastic Massun92 asset pack recently added to DCS world building has been significantly enhanced, check out the screen shots below to see some of the custom locations.
Finally, the template has now been split into two versions. The first will be for Cerberus North 2 and will have Hornet and Carrier specific triggers and game-play systems such as my JTAC system and custom ATC built in. The other version will be set aside for an as yet unannounced campaign set within this scenario.
The Cerberus North 2 intel brief document is also now being written. As you would expect from a Ground Pounder Sims campaign, this will be another geo-politically complex and highly detailed scenario and this document will be a multi-month task, I can't wait to share more in the future!
11th August, 2024

The first demo for Falklands '14 is available now at DEMO MISSIONS. This isn't a full mission, but a short prologue that will give a little taster for what is to come in the campaign, especially regarding weather and operations around the fleet and HMS Invincible. A perfect opportunity to practice carrier landings. A full demo of mission 1 will follow in the coming months, stay tuned!
