version 2.9.A001 updated October 19, 2023

1.  Unlimited fuel for wingman -  Script added so when wingman's fuel is below 50% internal tanks, the fuel level is frozen.  No more wingmen running out of fuel during a mission due to AI behaviour.  (If they use the tanker, the fuel will go to 100% and stay there).

2.  Adjusted some triggers and scripts for better gameplay.

3.  Changed version numbering to be similar to DCS version numbering.

Welcome to Red Flag Mission 1!  My goal in creating this mission is to simulate a realistic air to ground Red Flag mission for the new DCS AV-8B Harrier.  In order to fly this mission successfully, you’ll need to execute critical tasks, from hitting your timing points to low level flying to possible air to air combat.  

Make sure to read and familiarize yourself with the mission briefing and what’s expected of you before you enter the mission.  Things can happen fast in the air, so better to prepare on the ground!

Operation Earnest Will Redux Part I contains the first 7 missions of a 13 mission campaign.   Part II consists of the remaining 6 missions.

History seems to be repeating itself.  Back in 1988, Operation Earnest Will was implemented to protect friendly shipping from Iranian attack.  (Yes, I was there).  Now, here we are in modern times and Iran is again threatening to sink any ship transiting through the Strait of Hormuz which has not paid a transit fee to the Iranian government.

You are about to arrive aboard USS George Washington to assume command of VF-103, the Jolly Rogers the day before the Washington battlegroup enters the Persian Gulf to protect friendly shipping from attack.

Your squadron is the tip of the spear for the embarked carrier air wing.  You will be conducting air to air intercepts, air to ground bombing, reconnaissance missions, along with battlegroup defense for the next several weeks.

Good Luck and Good Hunting!

You have a difficult RECON mission today. With an airborne A-4E-C Skyhawk, low on fuel, you fly low level to the bay of Iskenderun Körfezi near Turkey. Discover several anchored ships with your ground radar so they will show up on the F10 map.
