To start the mission, use the F-10 - Others menu and press "Start Mission".
I used this fictional livery from WhatTheHell for the Mosquito: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3345939/ .
You need the WW2 Assets Pack.

Dont panic if its dark, the nice ground control will guide you :)

Gentlemen,
The situation is deteriorating rapidly.
For over a month, our forces have held the city of Caen against relentless Anglo-Canadian pressure. The Allies have poured men, armor, and aircraft into the sector, determined to break through and seize the city. Intelligence reports indicate that a major offensive—codenamed Operation Charnwood—is imminent. British and Canadian units are massing north of Caen, supported by heavy artillery and air power. Tonight, we expect a preparatory bombardment and probing attacks.
Our defensive lines are stretched thin. The 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend, 16th Luft FLD Division and remnants of the 21st Panzer Division are entrenched in and around the city. Morale is strained, but discipline holds. We, the Luftwaffe have promised limited night fighter support to intercept RAF bombers and reconnaissance aircraft operating over the front.
You are part of a Luftwaffe night fighter detachment operating from a forward airfield near Argentan.
Remarks:
Since DCS does not have flyable BF-110 or Ju 88, the available planes are BF-109, FW-190 A and the Mosquito as a bad BF-110 substitude. The livery used is here:

Yeah, I am also not a fan of the swastika on it. Please choose a different skin if you dont want to play with it.
The magnetic heading (for the airfield) in the area is ~-9,6° ;-)
