I can't believe we're up to version 4.0
it's an ongoing build on this mission, some things stay, some go, some get added, we tend to teak and ass things as we need them for our training, hopefully, there is enough here to keep you busy and help you upskill. it works for us :)
here's the pitch
A simple training mission that covers everything we could think of. we had tried various missions available but found many of them unsuitable due to a number of factors. In short, we wanted to be able to start in-game and then change up our training on the fly EG. Do some ground attack then a quick dogfight then some cats n traps with some refuelling thrown in in-between, it is, of course, SP and MP capable
I have included several versions of the file for you to use
Release - the current public version with mods (A4)
RF - Random Failures on
N - Night
NM - No Mods
there's now a forum post for it, just seemed like a good idea.. here's the link...

---------------------Air To Ground-------------------------
Sukhumi is home to a simple bombing and gun range with various targets of various types for UNGUIDED A2G practice. target vehicles and buildings placed around the airfield, including 3 different sized sticks of infantry for ripple bombing practice.
Below the river, at KM57 you will find a big bullseye style target marked out with airshow pylons with a FARP in the middle. use it for target practice, accuracy practise or air racing, whatever else you can think to do with a big area of concentric circles
FARP Moscow is at the centre @ 210Mhz
Grid KM76 is home to 2 groups of targets, one group is ground units the other is trucks and tanks, there close to Kutaisi so you can try out new things without having to fly far
A laser designation range is to the NORTHEAST around the lake next to Haristvala and the lake around Analsopli to practice laze and buddy laze. There is one of each type of armoured vehicle and 2 ships there to practice on. They are spaced and placed in such a way that identification and engagement should be easy.
There is a drone serviced GBU range near the end of the medium-sized lake to the SOUTH SOUTHEAST of Kutaisi.
* Make radio contact en route. 131Mhz
* The drone will laze for you
* Laser code 1688
* Full JTAC/FAC Procedures will be in effect
There are 4 command bunkers located on the GPS coordinates of famous locations in Georgia. The point of this is for target id and bunker-busting practise. See if you can destroy them all
* Alphabetic Tower - 41°39'21.4"N 41°38'22.0"E
* Katskhi Column - 42°17'15.0"N 43°12'56.2"E

* Start/Finish is marked with Orange smoke
* Turn Point is marked with White
* Blue smoke marks a wings level gate, fly between the pylons wings level
* Red smoke, bank Right around the outside of the pylon
* Green smoke, bank Left around the outside of the pylon
* The river course is an end to end course, fly through the gates at the western end then slalom through the course, turn around as fast as you can in the turning area to the east (marked with pylons and smoke) and fly back to the start-finish gates back at the western side.
* The 4 white smoke markers to the West of the start gate are there to help you line up for the run-in
(You can also use the same target area to race in a circle, or in ever-decreasing circles, the eastern (090) arc has pylon spaces to get in and out)
Vally Run/Mach Loop Fr om Helipad Dallas - follow the smoke
There is also a tunnel north of Kvemo-Sba In Grid MN31 that you can try to fly through, fly into the area and smoke markers will appear at each end Red and Green at the western end and Blue and Yellow end, try to fly through it, To help you find the area there is a helipad on top of the mountain - FARP Warsaw 200Mhz
Good luck
-------------------------NOTES---------------------------
REDFOR airfields will scramble fighters to attack you if you fly too close.
You may land at any friendly or neutral airfield to refuel, rearm and repair
There is no bullshit here, if you wish to try one of the areas please fly towards it. Once the area is destroyed that's it until mission restart.
All areas are out of the way of all other areas so you can't accidentally wander off into one of the areas. You must make an effort to fly to them OR trigger them by radio.
All units are set to HARD OR BETTER SETTINGS no point practising with crap AI!
This mission has no scripts and is 100% mission editor based.
----------IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MISSION EDITOR:---------
this mission is set up with the aircraft that NZArmA flys with if you want to add your own please only change the ones that are there, the mission has some complex triggers in it tied to the names of specific aircraft. if you add-in an aircraft you will have to find these triggers and add them to it HOWEVER if you CHANGE the aircraft to the type you want then the triggers will auto-update and continue to work as designed.
