Looks like a really well though out mission - nice work!

Persian Nights Turn Hot - MP F/A-18C Mission Due to a significant lack of Hornet combat missions I'm posting a mission that is totally unpolished but still a lot of fun. I didn't intend on posting this but it has been so enjoyable I'd like to share it with the community. The briefing could do with a bit of fleshing out but this ought to get you started. Quick Features/Mission Overview: - Surface and air threats are randomized on each mission start to keep the threat picture different each time. - Multiple flights with separate targets to choose from for replayability. - No scripting used so far so adding other aircraft/units will not break mission functionality. - Difficulty is randomized but this mission would suit 2 players up to 6 (Also possible to succeed as a singleton). - Feel free to edit and use this mission as you please. - Please bear in mind that there is no overbearing scripting so when you strike targets there is no 'mission complete' or any voice overs etc. I may add that sort of thing later but for the time being the missions are pretty cut and dry - fly the mission to the brief and you will be the judge of your own performance. Persian Nights Turn Hot June 1991 The United States and its allies are at War with Iran. Day 1 of hostilities between the US and Iran has commenced. Overnight strategic strikes against Iranian IADS and major CCC nodes have been successful. As day breaks over the Persian gulf the next wave of strikes is about to commence. Join VMFA-533 spinning up at Al Dhafra in support of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (1MEF) and it's impending assault on Iran. BLUE TASK SITUATION: 0600L Iranian CCC and IADS have been dealt a significant blow after comprehensive cruise missile strikes launched from US Navy warships and USAF aircraft in the early hours of the morning. VMFA-533 has received the ATO for the first day of strikes within the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) AOR. The first Phase of the air war will involve further strikes on strategic CCC nodes, airbases, ammunition storage facilities and high value Iranian Army assets. ATO: DODGE1 (Strike): - Strike Kish Island EWR site (Primary). - Strike Ammunition storage facility at WP5 (Secondary). DODGE2 (Strike): - Strike Dehong CCC Centre. UZI1 (Deep Strike): - Strike Lar Airbase. Primary targets are ammunition storage facilities and any parked strike aircraft. COLT1 (BAI): - Intedict Iranian BM-30 MRL vehicles within area defined by WP3-6. THREATS: - IRIAF Mig21s armed with R-60 (IR) and R-13M (IR) are known to be CAPing in the AO. - Fixed SA-3 sites not hit in initial strikes may be present within AO. - Mobile SA-6 and 8 are active within AO. ASSETS: AWACS - DARKSTAR (E3A) 251.000 TANKERS - TEXACO (KC130) 251.000 MIG SWEEP - ENFIELD11 (4xF15C) SEAD - SPRINGFIELD21 (2xF18C) Please leave feedback on how you found this mission. I will continue to update it as time allows - many improvements to be made. Persian Nights Turn Hot.miz

Thank you, but that was not the case in this instance - the difference between box and diamond was and is very easily discernible. :) I concur with you 100%.

Can anyone please tell me whether an air defense group without an EW search radar can 'talk' to another air defense group which does have a search radar and use the data from the other groups radar to more efficiently engage an air unit? So for example could an SA-3 group with its Search radar destroyed (then automatically use another search radar from a neighboring SA-3 for its own SA on distant threats outside the range of the Tracking radar? Just curious is all. Thanks

Okay I guess i need some clarification as to the EA implementation of IFF in the Hornet. Can someone point me in the right direction? The only documentation I've seen is in the changelog and it states "Added very basic IFF" I thought the basic nature of the early access IFF was pretty black and white. Aircraft on the red coalition would display as a diamond and on the blue would display as a square and it was that simple. Proper IFF is understood to be in the works.

+1 I have experienced the same. Often known friendlies are displayed as Hostile. In my last flight the friendly tanker was shown as a hostile when there were definitely no hostile aircraft even loaded in the mission. Next time it happens I'll submit a log file.

Whoops, was able to force the update by going Start Menu > Eagle Dynamics > Update DCS World Open Beta. :doh:

I'm currently unable to update to the latest Open Beta patch. Running the DCS_updater application in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin has not worked either. Help appreciated! autoupdate_log.txt

What's the current consensus as to whether these weapons are working effectively in the EA Hornet? Are they bugged to an extent that they are not worth using until patched?

Not quite, sorry. 'Apex' is just the name of a visual reference point at the rail overpass near Arrolime mine about 9nm north of Nellis. It's used for some of the visual arrivals and departures and a handy feature to get yourself lined up on the initial to rwy21.

Ah, i see, thanks! I thought I saw 'Apex' but I was hoping there was another major highway out there that I hadn't stumbled upon yet.

Nice vid mate! Curious, which highway is that?

Must be to activate the cyanide pill hidden in one of his teeth. A touch morbid though.

Nice work, thank you!

Can't believe the H-60 and all it's awesome variants aren't mentioned in the list. UH-60L/M MH-60K/L/S/R HH-60G/H

Nice work!

Nice work, love the electro swing!
