A 1-4 player PvE co-op mission where you and your friends become VULTURE 1, a flight of 4 A-10C IIs scrambled to assist a shot down F-15C pilot and provide close air support.

Version 1.6
UPDATE:
- Added addition optional aircraft such as Vipers for SEAD and Apaches for RESCORT. Note these aircraft are secondary and the mission will not work with them alone. VULTURE 1 flight slots must be used.
- Added additional threats in and around Patara-Oni.
- Reworked triggers for smoother flow.
- Weather and other new options newly available since 2.5 added, tweaked, and refined.

This mission features:
- Video and PPT briefing deck
- Real Voice Overs
- Kneeboards
- Single Player or Multiplayer

Previously uploaded as an air start using the Stennis, now adding a cold start version using the Supercarrier (Lincoln).  Also added “radio effects” to the voiceovers for a bit of realism.

Designed this as single-player, but with a variety of roles it could be adapted to a multiplayer scenario.

I’ve found this has a decent amount of replay-ability as the situation depends on how effective your CAP coverage is.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions!

Destroy an Iranian weapons manufacturing plant and storage facilities.  Go in under cover of darkness with support from SEAD and CAP flights and hit the plant at daybreak.  “Overlord” will provide voiced updates and instructions as the mission progresses.    AWACS will keep you apprised of any bandits so you can focus on your targets and any ground-based threats.  Tankers are on station as well, and you will likely need to gas up to make it back to boat.

Thanks,

*********************************************
Version 2024_02_24 - Fixed Loadouts Mission 6 & 7
*********************************************

version 2.9.A001 updated October 19, 2023

1.  Unlimited fuel for wingman -  Script added so when wingman's fuel is below 50% internal tanks, the fuel level is frozen.  No more wingmen running out of fuel during a mission due to AI behaviour.  (If they use the tanker, the fuel will go to 100% and stay there).

2.  Adjusted some triggers and scripts for better gameplay.

3.  Changed version numbering to be similar to DCS version numbering.

**************

Welcome to Red Flag Mission 1!  My goal in creating this mission is to simulate a realistic air to ground Red Flag mission for the new DCS AV-8B Harrier.  In order to fly this mission successfully, you’ll need to execute critical tasks, from hitting your timing points to low level flying to possible air to air combat.  

Make sure to read and familiarize yourself with the mission briefing and what’s expected of you before you enter the mission.  Things can happen fast in the air, so better to prepare on the ground!

Launch from the Stennis and conduct SEAD in support of a targeted strike on an Abkhazi base.  Coordinate with Air Force F-15s providing CAP, and lend them a hand if necessary.  Ensure the path is clear for two flights of A-10s to do their job.  Keep an eye on your and your flight's fuel levels to ensure you can make it back to Stennis.

Voiceover briefing and in-mission instructions and updates from "Overlord," the Air Force colonel who is overseeing the mission.

Please let me know if you have any feedback, or if anything breaks!

Thanks,

I've been having fun lately adding voice recordings to missions.  This is a quick nighttime strike in the Hornet with voice overs from the mission commander and another unit.  Fairly straightforward mission, but a couple of surprises along the way.

Mission Brief:
"Good evening, everyone.  We have received intelligence that a high value target is camped out in a mountain valley north of Kutaisi.  The mission tonight is simple: Take out the target.  There's not a lot of maneuvering room in the valley, so Dodge flight, a single F-18 will go in alone armed with rockets.  A single Apache, Springfield flight, will be standing by for additional CAS.  Uzi will be on station over the camp providing forward air control, and will designate targets as needed.  Overlord will provide mission command.  Additional details will be provided after startup."

Mission contains voice-overs and F10 menu options. Make sure you have "Hear like in Helmet" setting enabled for realistic experience.
