You will take the role of a mercenary pilot who has recently arrived at A.R.E.A 18, one of the main bases of A.R.E.A mercenary group. Choose your aircraft for each mission, earn money achieving goals and kills on your sorties and become legend.
This is a story driven campaign that will give you many hours of fun, playing historical missions and daily missions.
In the daily missions you can choose the type of mission you want to play (A2A, A2G, cargo, etc.). Each time you play a daily mission, the events during the flight, possition of targets and enemy forces location, etc will be different for a great replayability.
Once you earn enough money, you will unlock the next history mission to progress in the story.

You will need some mods that will enhance your experience. Look for them below.
There is multiple slots to play different aircrafts or helos. Select your mission in the ready room (or play one completelly random). Choose an aircraft that fits the mission and enjoy.
I haven't tested it in multiplayer, but I think it should work too. If you want to upload it to a public or private multiplayer server and adapt what is necessary to have it working, be my guest. Please give me feedback if you were successful ^_^
