I made prop textures mostly transparent, this removes reprojection bugs from the canopy frame when prop is spinning in every engine setting.
This also looks more realistic, as in real life black propeller is not visible by the eye when spinning, and can only be registered by cameras.

Operation Hot Chocolate

You are a civilian pilot contracted by the CIA.  Normally they have you flying mysterious cargo around in old prop driven cargo planes, but today they have a special mission for you.

A WW2 era German fighter was recently confiscated from a local crime lord who was a WW2 buff and collector.  We need it transferred to our team stationed at Kutaisi airfield.  It has a 250kg bomb attached to it and we don't have a qualified crew here to remove it, or an EOD team to dispose of it, so that's going along for the ride with you.

Hi, thanks for checking out my Squeaky's Training Day (STD) sandbox mission.

There are no threats in this mission. This is meant to serve as a casual and simple open training sandbox mission, to brush up your skills when returning to a module or to practice in between training missions and MP / Campaigns. Whilst also having a ton of statics and ambient units to make it all seem a little more immersive.

There are several waypoints / ranges to choose from, to practice Ground attack, anti-ship, Air to Air and SEAD / DEAD.
Cold and Hot start versions, Tankers and AWACS and simple airspace incursion scenario.

Check the mission briefing, or the description below to choose your waypoint and hop in one of the available spawns and off you go.

This is mostly for people who play DCS PVE
