Good Morning Soldiers !
While our planes are busy at "more important task", we've have many things to do here : Most of airfields have been captured by insurgency forces. While they can't probably use the stationed planes against us, we have to take them back !
You'll start fr om Liwa AFB. Troops can be loaded on all Helipads.
- PHASE 1
Capture Al Dhafra back
We learned that a very limited quantity of airplane were stationned in Al Dhafra Hangars, but nethertheless this will be crucial to eliminate some SAM threats.
There is also a small outpost along the route to Al Dhafra. Capture it and you'll have a small advanced outpost. There is a factory where crates can be requested for transport and build a small ground army.
-PHASE 2
Consolidate by capturing:
- Al Bateen
- Sas Al Nakheel
- Abu Dhabi
This will grant us more planes to fight with ( They will be "convoyed" to Al Dhafra )
- PHASE 3
...Still in development ;)...

(1) TO MOVE GROUND TROOPS
- Place a marker on Map where you want a Ground Group to go
- Type ;wp;GROUP_NAME and close the marker
- The group will try to go to the indicated position
- Optionally, you can add a speed and a formation ( e.g. : ;wp;Soldier Platoon#001;10;v will try to move Soldier Platoon#001 at a speed of 10kts (good boys!) in the Vee Formation
Available formation are :
-l Line
-c Column
-v Vee
-el er Echelon Left and Echelon Right
...
(2) TO CALL AI CAS :
- Place a marker on Map where you think the close air support is needed with ONLY ;castgt in the text
- Delete the Marker : This will place a circle of about 1km diameter on the Map
- Call the CAS AI with F10 Menu : The planes will engage all units in the zone ( only ). You can "Abort CAS" at any timƒe to make the planes RTB.
(2) TO CALL AI SEAD :
- Place a marker on Map where you think the sead/dead is needed with ONLY ;seadtgt in the text
- Delete the Marker : This will place a circle of about 1km diameter on the Map

Other useful commands:
- ;coord will give you the marker position in all available format
- ;placecoord <coord> will place a marker at given coordinates using ;coord format
-----------------------------
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE :
1. You need to de-sanitize your <DCS INSTALLATION FOLDER>/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua to enable persistency :
--sanitizeModule('os')
--sanitizeModule('io')
--sanitizeModule('lfs')
2. You need to install Simple Slot Block ( https :// github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleSlotBlock ) to enable Red base not already captured to block player spawn
Copy the SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua to your C:Users\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\hooks
NOTE : This does not work in single player. If you want to play the mission alone, please host it in a passworded multiplayer ;)
-----------------------------
Helo Wars uses :
- Mist
- Moose
- Modified Gamemaster script
- Simple Slot Blocking ( needs to be set up on server )
- RotorOps-Perks
