Apologies if posted before. I found the early days in Germany where aircraft dispersion in woods and cities using small grass strips and car parks of particular interest.
A simplistic hack of DCS ME allows hot / cold starts of AV8BNA other than from FARP PADS, on the flat sides or roads etc... Using the side strip of a FARP gives 160' usable runway with full rearm / refuel / repair capabilities... add some imaginations and dispersal bases and some different mission styles could be created. Are there any other like minder souls for this era or would it be a waste of time if I made a few up.?
Whatever, the doc in opinion is a valuable read... you may be interested...
