Updated* March 30th (Fixed some mission settings.)

These missions were generated by using BRIEFING ROOM and edited so that those of us who play offline can play as part of a simple strike package. You can also edit it for multiplayer if you so wish. Each Flight in the Strike Package has been se t to respawn using scripts. I've included the scripts so you can change it up if you want.

Based on Tomcatter87's S-3B skin pack version 1.6 for the 3D model of the S-3B Viking introduced in DCS version 2.9. It contains all seven low-viz liveries for VS-24 as they were on the 2005-2006 deployment with CVW-8 aboard USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN-71).

SCOPE OF MISSION: SORTING RADAR KEYBINDS AND GENERAL RADAR EMPLYOMENT SCENARIOS SO YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY LOST WHEN YOU RANDOMLY TRY AND JOIN SOMEONE IN MP.

Full cold start with scripted catapult launch and air start versions included.

Super carrier on caucuses is required.

<LAST UPDATE> 29/03/2024

A pretty heavy open sandbox training mission on the South Atlantic map. There are no threats.
Modules Required - Supercarrier, (any of the modules you want to train in of course :D )

6 Ranges to choose from, Sheffield, Ardent, Antelope, Coventry, Conveyor and Galahad for Ground Attack, Air to Air, Anti Ship, HARM / Radar and Runway busting.
A rescue mission scenario activated via the radio menu.

"Ambient Spawns" - I don't like being the only one taking off so I've added AI that spawn when you do around the base and on the carrier.

A large carrier battlegroup with busy (but still functional) Carrier decks, including the Supercarrier GW, HMS Invincible and Tarawa.
Airbase populated with Statics and ambient units.

Tankers and AWACS available.
Smoke on targets and Air to Air "drones" available via the Radio menu

There is only one mission file included which contains both hot and cold spawns.

<LAST UPDATE> 29/03/2024

A pretty heavy open sandbox training mission on the Marianas map. There are no threats.
Modules Required - Supercarrier, (any of the modules you want to train in of course :D )

5 Ranges to choose from, Factor, Trieste, Challenger, Nereus and Kaiko for Ground Attack, Air to Air, Anti Ship, HARM / Radar and Runway busting.
A simple maritime incursion scenario activated via the Radio menu

"Ambient Spawns" - I don't like being the only one taking off so I've added AI that spawn when you do around the base and on the carrier.

A large carrier battlegroup with busy (but still functional) Carrier decks, including the Supercarrier GW, HMS Invincible and Tarawa.
Airbase populated with Statics and ambient units.

Tankers and AWACS available.
Smoke on targets and Air to Air "drones" available via the Radio menu

There are 2 versions included, one for hot starts and one for cold starts.

- Protect the Maersk ship from Houthi boats using your AH-64 Apache, then destroy the Houthi base with F-18.

I made this "realistic" looking F110-400s for the F-14. I based the "burnt" pattern on the F-14 that I visited near my home. Attached is the LUA file and the DDS files for both the Engine Nacelles, Roughmets, and the F110s. Feel free to use this on your liveries! *11/20/2023 Edit*: Moved the flame diversion pattern further back closer to the burner.

[*IMPROVED & SHORTER*]. As for the reality aspect of the mission all I can say is the following:

The weather is the exact same weather Syria had on November 8th (found it under historical weather stats) same sky conditions, temperature, wind & barometric pressure. While the strike was carried out by 2 F-15´s in this case it is 2 aircraft as well (F/A-18´s) & fr om Air Base NOT Carrier. The target location while not exact it is approximate as to the town or city near wh ere it was located. And finally I have used as template the Syrian AO ALL air defense systems location by UGRA MEDIA. The start time is a wild guess but thought it might had taken place early morning similar as to the October 27th strike on Abu Kamal depots.

MINI-CAMPAIGN of 6 missions for those of you who have no time to fly a long campaign. REQUIRES: [*MilitaryAircraftMod*]

Based on the Ukrainian Crisis. Created in the Winter of 2023 for the Spring of 2023.

You must know Carrier Operations and there are NO waypoints. You must know how to create target waypoints using coordinates, the use of Tacan, assigned munitions, flying under adverse weather conditions and refueling for the last mission

*DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING* Campaign progress should go according to missions success conditions as described on each mission briefing.

**IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES** Added voiceovers, added statics to the Carrier, got rid of the spanish ships Mod, added a 6th and last mission which is for refueling & finally disabled player´s external views and F10 views.

Enjoy.
