DCS Operation Epsom Campaign's Collision with DCS World 2 Alpha
YouTube celebrity and DCS connoisseur Bunyap has created one of the most remarkable campaigns for DCS. Unfortunately, DCS World 2 -still in alpha- is not able to accommodate it at its full splendor in mid range hardware configurations.

The Operation Epsom Campaign s a fantastic achievement. Historically accurate and with briefings that read like original archived material, the campaign puts the player in the flying boots of a Spitfire LF Mk. IX during the time frame of the famous wide maneuver of the British forces to outflank Caen.

Vintage maps and navigation info for mission one.

Yup, I use the autostart cheat. I'm not too much into cranking virtual pumps.

Flying the Spitfire is one of the best virtual experiences to grace my computer.
This is the first Eagle Dynamics campaign to be flown over a historical backdrop. And the virtual battle below is no less than WWII, so this campaign is a tough test for DCS World 2.

The "flak map" is one key piece of information that needs the player's full attention.

Getting below 5,000 ft to engage ground targets confronts you against nasty flak positions hidden among the close terrain. In this screenshot, one Spitfire of my flight is going down.
