Voting and Judging
- Entries will be judged on creativity, quality, and in-sim applicability.
- Finalists will be showcased on our forums for community viewing.
- Special attention will be paid to period-authentic liveries that reflect the real-world F-5E operators—especially those based on or derived from genuine historical markings.
Rules and Guidelines
1. Original Work
- The submitted liveries must be your original creation. Plagiarised designs will be disqualified.
- Custom Pilot and Helmet liveries are not required, but the template for these is now available if you choose to include them and may improve your chances of success.
2. No Political Themes
- Liveries may include official air force insignia but should not include any political symbols, flags, emblems, or themes. This includes political parties, slogans, or any imagery that may be interpreted as divisive or controversial.
3. Cultural Respect
- Avoid using offensive, inappropriate, or culturally insensitive imagery. We want this competition to celebrate creativity and the global DCS community in a positive and respectful manner.
4. In-sim Usability
- Liveries should be practical and functional for in-sim use. Entries should complement the realistic nature of DCS, and liveries that are too outlandish or impractical may not be considered.
5. Submission Deadline
- All entries must be submitted by the 15th of June 2025 at 23:59 GMT. Late submissions will not be considered.
6. Legal Notice
- By submitting your livery, you grant Eagle Dynamics the right to use, modify, and feature your design in DCS, promotional materials, and official media channels.
The winners will be contacted and announced on our forum, so stay tuned! We’re excited to see how you envision the F-5E Remastered looking on the battlefield. May the most creative and detailed design win!

Instant Action Generator
Development Progress
We are pleased to share the latest developments on our Instant Action Generator (IAG), a new tool that will replace Instant Action. The IAG will give players a quick and easy way to jump into the action without the complexities of creating missions using the powerful, yet complex, Mission Editor. The IAG will offer customisable scenarios: air-to-air, ground attacks, bomber escort and attack, anti-ship, suppression of enemy air defenses, and more with just a few clicks. Existing Instant Actions missions will be moved to Missions.
Recent efforts have focused on sorting aircraft by historical eras, improving AI logic for different skill levels, and allowing players to fine-tune everything from loadouts to spawn points from an interactive map. The goal is to provide newcomers with an intuitive and powerful tool to create simple missions and veteran players with the means to experiment with different match-ups, weapons, and scenarios. Please note that the IAG is designed to create fast and simple scenarios, and not large, complex missions.
Other enhancements include carrier operations, manual selection of allied and enemy units, and dynamic weather and time-of-day settings. As a result, the generator delivers a fast but flexible environment where testing a new module, practicing before a multiplayer match, or simply enjoying a casual dogfight is more accessible than ever. We will continue refining the IAG to ensure it remains a valuable tool for pilots of all skill levels. Stay tuned for more updates.
Hammy and Friends
Skills Challenge
The event features three high-stakes challenges. First, prove your nerves of steel in the Carrier Landing Challenge by landing on a moving deck with 40-knot winds. Next, trade laser-guided precision for good old-fashioned “dumb bombs” in the Bomb Lofting Challenge; the question is whether you can still strike near the target from half a mile away. Finally, push your limits in the Canyon Race, navigating twisting gorges at breakneck speed. Every dollar donated during these three days goes directly to K9s for Warriors, so you can fly, compete, and give back to those who’ve served. Join their Discord server now!
Thank you again for your passion and support,
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics
