- Campaign updated to fix DCS Se t Frequency Changes

ONLY WORKS ON VERSIONS BEFORE 2.5.5! This is a JSGME-ready mod that places 14 cameras on the Stennis. Only one camera can be active at a time. Depending on how the mission was made, you may have aircraft parked on top of some cameras. See the included readme for instructions on how to activate/deactivate cameras.

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 F/A-18 Hornet.  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.

Fictional Hornet skin using real Royal Navy markings.

Instead of building the new Queen Elizabeth carriers it was decided that it would be cheaper to purchase one o f the Nimitz class carriers from the States with a side order of F-18C Hornets. An old squadron of the Fleet Air Arm was recommissioned to fly from the carrier. The squadron chosen was 800 Naval Air Squadron that had served aboard HMS Eagle.

This gave the Royal Navy a much bigger strike capability than the old ski jump carriers could offer.

This mod will allow JTAC's to read out your target coordinates in the format of your choosing instead of just the grid reference, allowing you to easily create a new waypoint at the target, or enter them into a JDAM or JSOW for a highly accurate strike. Now there's no more need to stop flying and convert the coordinates to the proper format, you can simply find your targets no matter where they are on the map and then take them out with precision. Passes the integrity check as well!

For for people new to the F/A-18 who want to be able to concentrate on flying, targeting and destroying without being shot at.
