You're a Combined Joint Task Forces Blue (CJTF) Sector Commander watching a ridge in no-mans land south of you. You’ve just received reports of RedFor tanks and APC's moving from their front lines towards a town on the ridge at Objective A.

You have sent a patrol of 4 tanks and 2 light armour vehicles to the ridge to investigate the incursion.

Mozdok Airbase is scrambling SEAD/DEAD and CAP aircraft to clear the airspace for CAS flights that may be needed later. We have air superiority over the battlefield but are expecting patrols from enemy attack helicopters.

BluFor has a drone flying to the battle area to better assess the situation. It is also providing smoke or laser designation for CAS missions.

Artillery and MLRS batteries are available for specific fire missions.

As the fight develops your Commander will release additional tanks and light armoured vehicles to you.

F-16C Balkans Campaign. 12 missions of predominately A-G, but some A-A thrown in.

As always, feedback welcomed.

Custom radios and voice overs.

VMFA-251, the Thunderbolts, deployed on the supercarrier Abraham Lincoln has been tasked with destroying targets in the vicinity of 3 airports on the Black Sea coast. You will fly 2 sorties today targeting ammunition dumps, a command center, airport defences and fuel storage facilities at Sukhumi-Babushara airport.

The USS Spruance, located near the carrier group will launch a simultaneous cruise missile attack on targets at Sukhumi, Gudauta and Sochi airports

You can fly 2 sorties in any order:

Pontiac 1 - JDAM GBU 31(V)3/B bunker busters
Hardened ammunition dumps, airport ammunition depot and command center (4 targets)

Pontiac 2 - JSOW AGM-154A (submunition payload)
Fuel facilities, airport defences and aircraft stands (6 targets)

In this mission you can practice using a variety of A/G weapons against 1 or more spawned SAM sites of your choosing. Four loadouts to choose from: 4 X HARMs, 8 X JDAMs, 8 X JSOWs or 4 X IR MAVs or create your own loadout in the mission editor.  

REDFOR SAM sites are selected via the comms/other menu and will spawn in 1 of 6 random zones in the vicinity of Beslan airport. When spawned, threat envelope information for the spawned SAM unit will display in the upper right corner of the screen.

This mission uses a MOOSE SEAD evasion script. If a HARM attack is detected SAM radars may turn off, attempt to shoot down the HARM and mobile SAM units may relocate to avoid the attack. SAM units have random skill levels.

++++Version 3 mission changes++++
ATIS added at Mozdok airport. Tune 264 mhz for current airport weather conditions.

TACAN “MOZ” added at Mozdok airport. Tune 51Y for navigation assistance.

In this mission you can practice using the HARM AGM-88C against SAM radars. The default loadout is HARM AGM88Cs however you can change weapons loadout in the mission editor to whatever you like.

The previous day's raid over Fujairah International Airport severely reduced REDFORs ability to defend the area from further air attacks. Today's mission starts with you, Pontiac 1-1, launching from Al Minhad AB and proceeding west to destroy two SA-6 radars (6 on RWR) and one SA-19 Tunguska (S6 on RWR). A SA-8 (8 on RWR) is located in the airport area although its precise location is unknown.

++++Version 4 mission changes++++

This mission now uses a MOOSE SEAD evasion script. If a HARM attack is detected SAM radars may turn off, attempt to shoot down the HARM and mobile SAM units may relocate to avoid the attack. SAM units have random skill levels.

Litening targeting pod added to default loadout.

My fourth mission for the Gazelle will bring you to the Normandy map. Operation "Tidy Hill" is an air strike by a friendly A-10 on an enemy tank platoon. Your task is to clear the path for the A-10 by disabling a SA-6 site and later clean up what the A-10 has left behind. On your way back to base, you will receive a radio call with an additional task.

Basic NADIR knowledge and good contour flying skills are mandatory.

Mission contains custom R/T voices, interaction with a FAC and the A-10, as well as briefing maps.  

This is a mission to test if the socalled In-Ground-Effect (IGE) is actually noticeable.

At altitudes of less then one rotor length the In-Ground-Effect (IGE) should provide some extra lift.
You can try and feel if this is the case by reducing the collective to account for the IGE.
This is barely noticeable at least to myself. Maybe this is not even modelled correctly in DCS?
Any experienced helicopter pilots can maybe comment on this.
In theory with the coaxial rotors of the KA50 this IGE should be more pronounced than with other helicopters.
Unfortunately there are no charts available for the KA50.

** Included are voice overs and charts and pictures explaining the effect. **

It is the Monday 14. August 2023. Russia has terminated the grain agreement by the UN and actively patrolling ships in the Black Sea. The Russian Frigate "Moskva" has forced the Korean Ship "Korean Rose" to stop and wants to land onboard the vessel with a helicopter. YOU are that pilot flying a KA50-Black Shark 3 and want to land on the helipad of the Korean Vessel "Korean Rose". You are already approaching it at a 90 Degree angle and have to slowly manoeuvre close to the helipad to land.

F-5E Tiger II A2A with 2 Mig-19Ps.

This is a set of training missions that I have edited for version 5.2 of the excellent A-29B Mod aircraft created by Luiz. These missions cover basic training and also weapons employment.

To install, uncompress the file at /saved games/dcs.openbeta/ or /saved games/dcs world/

You can get the A-29B aircraft Mod at this link:

https://github.com/luizrenault/a-29b-community

And here is the developer's Discord:  https://discord.gg/qjtU2MhA

The weapons training missions make use of the excellent 476th VFG Weapons Range Mod, you will need it installed if you want to fly those missions, you can get it here:

https://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=287

The weapons training missions also make use of the great Range Script created by the user @Ciribob, which which is embedded on the missions  and so don't need a separate download or install. You can learn more about this Script on this Forum thread:  https://forum.dcs.world/topic/132653-simple-range-script/
