Fly the legendary Spitfire LF Mk. IX over Normandy in June 1944 as the allies attempt to break out of the D-Day landing beachheads. Battle German forces in the air and on the ground as the allies push south over 12 missions south of the Juno and Gold landing beaches. The missions consist of a combination of armed reconnaissance, intercepts, and directed ground attacks.
For this campaign, we teamed up with the greatly respected “Bunyap”, who has created an amazing level of detail and content for the briefings and historical background. All missions and flights in the campaign are based on actual missions down to the squadrons, targets, locations, times, weather, flak locations, etc. We believe this will be the most historically accurate portrayal of World War II air combat in a PC flight simulation.
Key Features:
12 historic missions taken from detailed accounts of Operation Epsom
Detailed briefing and briefing images, including separate PDF mission files
Unique kneeboard graphics for each mission
Hundreds of specially recorded voice-over messages to recreate the actual callsigns and accents
A wide array of missions included armed reconnaissance, intercepts and ground attack
Takes advantage of new AI features like Flak avoidance and authentic formations
Localization:
Voiceovers: English
Briefings/Subtitles: English
Documentation: English
Note: In addition to DCS: Spitfire LF Mk.IX, this campaign also requires the DCS: Normandy 1944 Map / DCS: World War II Assets Pack.
