Introducing a fictional livery for the A-10 Warthog in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS), proudly representing the Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF).

While established in 1977, the 254th ‘Road Runners’ trace their lineage back to the 1940s with the 2774th Fighter Group of the same name, which flew P-47 Thunderbolts in the Ground attack role against Belkan forces during the conflict. Now, eighty years later,  the OA-10s of the 245th bear similar markings and the notable red and white checkered pattern to honor their tank busting heritage.

As a Tactical Air Support Squadron, the Road Runners Primary mission is Forward Air Control, marking targets for other A-10s to attack. While not officially used, the term ‘Fast FAC’, adorns many pieces of squadron esprit de corps, in reference to the first pilots assigned to the 254th who had been Fast FAC F-4 pilots during Verusea.

Today the Road Runners operate out of Shiloh, and have deployed both in Yuktobania and Verusea to support OADF operations in both theatres.

This fictional livery set represents the Blue Angels using A-10s. Works on any A-10 version

Have you ever wanted to bomb an evil terrorist, while he’s taking a sh*t and blow him together with his toilet to hell and back? Well, then this is your mission!

Special Agent, a CIA member on well-earned holiday in Cyprus, has been taken fr om his hotel room in the middle of the night and driven to a sleepy airbase, wh ere an old greek A-10 Thunderbolt is waiting for him, to carry out an urgent mission, that cannot wait. His boss, Foreign Affairs Coordinator, needs his skills to take down a well-known international evil scientist of biological warfare - Dr. Bakterius - who is currently hiding in Syria with his entourage. There is a one-and-only chance to kill him now during a public truck race in Hama, amidst a civilian audience of hundreds of spectators, while he is going to the toilet for a few minutes.

What started as a simple and easy bombing run, turns out to become Special Agent’s longest day, for everything goes wrong and things are not exactly as has been told.

This is a mission to test if the socalled In-Ground-Effect (IGE) is actually noticeable.

At altitudes of less then one rotor length the In-Ground-Effect (IGE) should provide some extra lift.
You can try and feel if this is the case by reducing the collective to account for the IGE.
This is barely noticeable at least to myself. Maybe this is not even modelled correctly in DCS?
Any experienced helicopter pilots can maybe comment on this.
In theory with the coaxial rotors of the KA50 this IGE should be more pronounced than with other helicopters.
Unfortunately there are no charts available for the KA50.

** Included are voice overs and charts and pictures explaining the effect. **

It is the 12th of September 2023. Ukraine wants to recapture the "Boyko Towers" in the Black Sea that were occupied by the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation has placed radar sensors on the towers to detect any enemy movements from far away, covering a wide stretch of ocean. Your task is to land on the oil rig at sunrise.

BLUE FORCE since it's Ukrainian. Feel free to change the helicopter to another blue force chopper.

The president of the Russian Federation has been assassinated at an OPEC meeting in Dubai. You need to land on top of the roof of a particular skyscraper to retrieve his "Cheget" suitcase. You have the assistance of local arabic guides that will guide you to the landing spot, telling you when you are off the edge of the building or within the landing spot.

It is the Monday 14. August 2023. Russia has terminated the grain agreement by the UN and actively patrolling ships in the Black Sea. The Russian Frigate "Moskva" has forced the Korean Ship "Korean Rose" to stop and wants to land onboard the vessel with a helicopter. YOU are that pilot flying a KA50-Black Shark 3 and want to land on the helipad of the Korean Vessel "Korean Rose". You are already approaching it at a 90 Degree angle and have to slowly manoeuvre close to the helipad to land.
