Under the North Star has ended. This campaign is sadly over. Please visit our main website for the new projects!
The weekly operations on Saturday's happen through DCS. In effect, it is the main form of storytelling and player interaction, but it heavily relies on other games.
The mission time will be at 20:00 UTC each Saturday, and lasts usually from 1.5 to 2 hours. There's about a ten minute briefing before it.
Some flights may launch up to 2 hours earlier and finish earlier.

Guide a flight of four planes towards the mission objectives! Flight Leads take the Commanders' intentions and turn it into a flight plan with waypoints, loadouts, targets...
At the basic level, pick a plane and take it for a spin! Work with your element and flight to perform a task so the mission will succeed. Victory and defeat are in the hands of our many pilots!
The people onboard the AWACS, or perhaps in a GCI station. Handing out BRA-calls and directing the air war based on Commander's intent.
Pilots need some handholding when they depart and fly back. You can control planes on arrival and departure, and then guide them in and out of the combat area.
Checking with commanders that they know the upcoming mission's threats, and that the pilots are adequately prepared.
