Two ranges set up for practicing ground attack skills as featured in the Basic Surface Attack series on YouTube

Familiarize yourself with the A-10c II and its new lasers weapons on Syria Map.

Intelligence informed us of the presence of insurgents at an oil extraction complex near Palmyra.
Clean the area of ​​vermin and rtb safely.

Your Commander wants you to improve your formation flying and perfect your landing approaches.
This mission has several formation flying patterns where you will try to follow the group in front of you and key landing approaches to practice.
There are standard voice commands to tell you when to turn and how much. Try and join the given formations at a reasonable distance (2-10 rotor discs).
There are no points or penalties this mission is intended to keep practicing these various patterns over and over until they are perfect.

A basic mission starting cold at Nellis, with an active airfield running the course of the mission. Nothing spectacular, but it gives a more realistic airfield feel as opposed to an empty airfield with just you taking off for practice.

I have created a training mission to practice a teardrop landing approach as documented in the Flight Manual for the BS3 (which you can download here at DCS).  In this mission you aim to fly through the gates at 90° to the wind (122°) blowing from the direction of Dubai International Airport.  You have the wind on your right. As you approach you try to maintain that 90° direction (Heading 32°) to fly over the helipad. Once there you turn left at a 60° angle so end up heading at an angle of 30° off the downwind direction (332°). You follow this for around 2km and then start turning in towards your final approach direction of 122°. Lower your gear and start lowering your speed but dont exceed a VSI of 2-5. Try to land gently on or near the helipad.

Have fun practicing and post a comment if you want me to create more such lessons. I will probably do one landing on a helipad on top of a building next.

Well versed sandbox missions for fixed and rotary wing air to air and air to ground practice!

BFM and Air to Ground Weapons Trainer - by Sedlo

ver 2024-03-22 –
-    A-4E added
-     Fixed chaff/flare for some
-     Adjusted AI attack logic so attack aircraft will now be engaged by hostile aircraft more reliably.
-    Added additional "Realistic" loadouts for F-16C, CF-18, F--15E.
-    USS John C. Stennis Aircraft Carrier frequency changed to 227.8 (Kneeboards reflect the change)

Customizable BFM Trainer

The standard River run, with less annoying "beeps", rain, under 5 mile visibility, turbulence, wind.
At the final gate, turn radar alt on, fly visual with terrain, you will receive "talk-on" instructions to help  guide you to Nalchik.
Pre-flight, briefly look at the map and notice the shape of the forested area, and how your flight path intersects these.
If you stick to the plan, mainly being under 300',  the forest stands out clearly from scattered trees, and the road you need to follow stands out as well.
The final approach is a very short leg not longer than a carrier final, the queue is a slight right curve in the road you are following, that will then point you in the "final" at which point the runway will appear out of the fog just in time!

*msn is set with FA18C but i assume everyone can change this, hence not tagging the file for a specific aircraft.

This mission lets you practice entering random MGRS coordinates as a steerpoint, and attack targets at that point, guided by an airborne JTAC (Pontiac). Depending on the enemy ground units, you'll be asked to either use GBU-12 (guided by Pontiac) or CBU-97.

A new group of enemy units will spawn once you've cleared out your current task.

Change the loadout as you like, default is 4 x GBU-12 + 6 x CBU-97 + C/L fuel tank

You will need the free Marianas map.
