You're a Combined Joint Task Forces Blue (CJTF) Sector Commander watching a ridge in no-mans land south of you. You’ve just received reports of RedFor tanks and APC's moving from their front lines towards a town on the ridge at Objective A.

You have sent a patrol of 4 tanks and 2 light armour vehicles to the ridge to investigate the incursion.

Mozdok Airbase is scrambling SEAD/DEAD and CAP aircraft to clear the airspace for CAS flights that may be needed later. We have air superiority over the battlefield but are expecting patrols from enemy attack helicopters.

BluFor has a drone flying to the battle area to better assess the situation. It is also providing smoke or laser designation for CAS missions.

Artillery and MLRS batteries are available for specific fire missions.

As the fight develops your Commander will release additional tanks and light armoured vehicles to you.

This is the updated default F-5E start-up, taxi and take-off mission, but with an English voiceover

As always, feedback welcomed.

Custom radios and voice overs.

The built-in training mission for the Hornet is for a shore based aircraft. With this mission, I wanted to build a realistic Carrier-based Cold Start training mission ... inspired by @Tricker's video: https://youtu.be/T6y2mRRsnMc

VMFA-251, the Thunderbolts, deployed on the supercarrier Abraham Lincoln has been tasked with destroying targets in the vicinity of 3 airports on the Black Sea coast. You will fly 2 sorties today targeting ammunition dumps, a command center, airport defences and fuel storage facilities at Sukhumi-Babushara airport.

The USS Spruance, located near the carrier group will launch a simultaneous cruise missile attack on targets at Sukhumi, Gudauta and Sochi airports

You can fly 2 sorties in any order:

Pontiac 1 - JDAM GBU 31(V)3/B bunker busters
Hardened ammunition dumps, airport ammunition depot and command center (4 targets)

Pontiac 2 - JSOW AGM-154A (submunition payload)
Fuel facilities, airport defences and aircraft stands (6 targets)

6 Missions intended for crosswind training purposes on Normandy map. Include all propellers (Except P47 and newer) + F86F, Mig-15, L-39C.

Crosswind is set as 7 m/s (14 knots) - 90° degree crosswind
Crosswind is set as 14 m/s (27 knots) - 60° degree crosswind
Crosswind is set as 21 m/s (41 knots) - 30° degree crosswind

Turbulence is applied by 1/2/3 m/s -> Bigger wind has bigger turbulence.

Missions designed for LEFT / RIGHT hand crosswind as you please.

REMINDER: Nav Wind in mission description is described as wind TO degrees instead of FR OM as it should be. Mission name wind statetement is correct (hopefully), dont be fooled.

I have worked with 7 m/s as maximum demonstrated crosswind for landing, as this information is most frequent i found for small light aircrafts. This lim it is getting bigger as the crosswind is closer from runway heading.

Thank you to MOOSE and its team for making this mission possible.

This is a dynamic environment where you can create an endless supply of targets and training types

Any aircraft type can be added via the Mission Editor. Already included are
VIPER
WARTHOG
HORNET
HARRIER
STRIKE EAGLE

Looking forward to your feedback and ideas on how to improve it!

If you are a novice helicopter pilot like myself you need to memorize the cold start routine and all important cockpit controls and procedures. This training is intended to be repeated over and over to train you which switches to turn and in what order. You can practice at night or during the day. You can take off or taxi to the destination and the mission will finish.
