DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309960/ MISSION BRIEFING ATTACHED TO THIS POST AT THE BOTTOM WELCOME TO RED FLAG My name is SEDLO, and my goal is to create some of the most realistic DCS missions you can find anywhere. In order to get the most from my missions, keep in mind the following notes: Realistic communications are set to on. This means you will have to tune your radios to the proper channels/frequencies in order to make any progress. Make sure to know your keybinds for transmitting from COMM1 and COMM2. All communications have subtitles in the upper right of the screen. Upon reaching a point where you must change your radio channel/frequency, or need to respond to someone via the radio, the last subtitle will remain on the screen until you do the required action. So if you find yourself stuck, take a look up and see if there is a subtitle remaining above. Do NOT change any of your weapons or weapons of the AI. Many triggers in this mission are based on the type of weapon carried or fired, and messing with these will break the mission. Please don’t do it. Fly your planned route unless told to do otherwise. Some of the triggers require you to fly to and from specific waypoints, so do your best to keep within your flight plan. Of course, if you get bounced by IVAN, kick his ass. THEN go back to your route. You’re flying a simulated fighter aircraft, for goodness’ sake, do the overhead break when you get back to base. The AI is AI. That means, many of the times they will not do what you want them to, run out of fuel, or just fart around. But then again, sometimes they will totally help you. HAVE FUN! ************ NOTE ABOUT SKINS: If you'd like to get the full Red Flag experience, please download the following F-16 Agressor skin: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306880/ If you don't, the hostile F-16s you might encounter out on the ranges will have just the default, grey skin. ************ STRATEGIC SITUATION The civil war within the country ORANGE has been raging for several years now, killing up to 100,000 civilians and displacing more than 2 million people. It is the most profound humanitarian disaster of the new millennium, and one that the world community has been ineffective at preventing or policing. The authoritarian ORANGE leader has been making gains in recent weeks, taking back territory, both in the moderate REBEL held territory and the self-proclaimed nation of the TSARIST HEURISTIC COURTS (THC). With their new-found success on the battlefield, ORANGE forces have been exacting a terrible retribution on the civilians left behind. The ORANGE forces are now just 30 miles away from the COALITION military and civilian aid outposts in the eastern part of ORANGE. The COALITION has indicated that we will not abandon our position within ORANGE, and that ORANGE forces must stop their advance immediately. The approaching ORANGE forces are putting the COALITON anti-THC operation in jeopardy. Non-essential COALITION forces are retrograding east, while COALTION Special Forces and conventional troops remain behind near RACHEL. The COALITION is also very concerned with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and have declared that any use of WMD within the country of ORANGE will be a step across a “Fence in the Desert”, and will be met with an overwhelming COALITION military response. Complicating matters is the fact that the ORANGE military and government is being propped up by the nation of RED. The RED government sees the crisis as an opportunity to both flex its muscle in the world, and to secure a strong position for itself in the strategically critical NTTR. RED military advisors have trained and equipped ORANGE military units with the latest in technology, both for ground warfare and anti-aircraft capabilities. Intelligence has indicated that RED forces are not only training the ORANGE military, but that RED forces are actually operating and fighting with this modern equipment. RED air forces have now arrived in theatre and are based at TONOPAH TEST RANGE (KTNX), complimenting an already impressive ORANGE air force capability. COALITION air power is continuing to arrive in theatre, based primarily at NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE (KLSV), with the mission is to provide support to COALITION forces on the ground inside ORANGE and to defend the civilians that lay in the path of the ORANGE leader. MISSION SCENARIO Intelligence has obtained information that ORANGE military forces are preparing to transport WMD from an airfield in RANGE 75W. The COALITION is determined not to let the ORANGE forces move these weapons into a position where they could threaten civilians or our own military forces near RACHEL. The COALITION has decided to strike at these immediately, without waiting for the cover of darkness. Tornado GR4 aircraft will ingress at low level and bomb the facilities at RANGE 75W with a low-level run in, pop up attack utilizing 1000lb laser guided bombs. The attack will be escorted by F-15s, CF-18s and F-16s for defense against airborne threats, will the F-16CJs will provide initial SEAD suppression. Airborne AWACS, tanker and C3 support will also be part of the package, along with ground based electronic warfare and even a targeted cyber assault. WEATHER A high-pressure system continues to bring VFR weather across the region. Winds generally moderate from the northwest but with increasing speed and associated turbulence into the late afternoon. Visibilities 7 miles are greater are forecast. No significant cloud cover expected. The temperatures are in the upper 30s to lower 40s, so check your density altitude tables. Contrail altitude anticipated to be approximately 30,000ft. KLSV 220000Z AUTO 34007 10SM CLR 37/M08 A2971 KTNX 220000Z AUTO 31017 7SM CLR 40/M08 A2974 KXTA 220000Z AUTO 36010 10SM CLR 39/M08 A2973 THREATS ORANGE air defense assets are on a high state of alert, with ORANGE and RED CAP flights noted throughout the day. It is anticipated that this strike will encounter both hostile air forces and also SAM/AAA throughout the AO. RED and ORANGE air forces based at TONOPAH include MiG-29 and SU-27 fighter aircraft, along with the IL-78 MIDAS AWACS. The RED SU-27 fighters are confirmed to be armed with the latest generation R77 missiles, which may pose a significant threat to COALTION aircraft. RED/ORANGE surface based threats include a fixed SA-2 site west of RACHEL, which is scheduled to be targeted by BUSTER 23 and 24 shortly after push time (01:45 ZULU). The RED/ORANGE OOB includes mobile SAMS, including SA-11, SA-6, SA-8, ROLAND and possibly RAPIER batteries. MANPADS can be expected throughout the area. Radar guided and optical AAA can be expected throughout the area. Ensure your countermeasures are set well before push time. SUPPORT FOCUS 1 (E-3C Sentry) will provide AWACS support to all coalition aircraft. They will be operating on UHF preset 13 (234.325). TEXACO 11 is the dedicated boom tanker for DODGE and CHEVY flights. They are operating in the vicinity of waypoint 4. ALLEYCAT will control the entry and exit of the ranges. Expect to be pushed to them after departure and upon checkout from FOCUS. RULES OF ENGAGMENT Between the hours of 01:45 Zulu and 02:30 Zulu, ROE weapons free on all ORANGE and RED military targets within the area of operations. Outside of these hours, ROE weapons tight, do not fire unless fire upon. ADMIN • Expect the FYTTR departure off runway 03 at KLSV with the FLEX turnout. • Expect to be pushed to departure after Dodge 14 gets airborne. • Check in with ALLEYCAT when instructed. Tanking is available prior to push or after egress (or both). • After check in with FOCUS, expect to orbit the hold and push from waypoint 6 at 01:45. • When egressing the target area, head towards waypoint 10, that’s you’re exit from the Red Flag exercise area. • On arrival, expect to be cleared direct ACTON > APEX > Visual approach to runway 21L or 21R at KLSV. • FLY THE OVERHEAD BREAK! • Have fun! ******************************************************* Hey, Seldo here! I hope you enjoyed flying my RED FLAG VIPER 02 mission. I had a lot of fun making it. If you have any questions, concerns, comments or suggestions, please email me at: simulatorsedlo@gmail.com I also gratefully accept donations towads the cause. Have a great day! ******************************************************* RED FLAG VIPER II MISSION BRIEFING.pdf

I'm wondering if marshaling on different radials is something we might see in the future? If it's not on the list, may I ask that it be included?

Yes, I think you could play with 5! And no, as it stands I haven’t programmed friendly friendly AI.

Yes, but the threats are too high to really have a chance of success.

Updated to version 1.902 to add Red Kite's excellent static spawning scripts!

OK, version 1.901 posted. Changelog below: 1. Added more time between mission start and push time. It's mission start is now 05:20 (01:20) local and push time is 06:05 (02:05 Z) 2. Added some surprises 3. Changed AV-8B to start with empty external tanks 4. Updated/Fixed radio presets 5. Added some new kneeboards and updated old ones. 6. Updated mission briefing now included attached to first post of this thread.

Eviscerador, I've heard your great suggestions and have implemented the changes below: - 10 minutes added from mission start to push time. This should help everybody out, but still will be a bit challenging :-) - Moved player spawns at Minhad closer to the active runway, hopefully will help getting airborne quicker - Added some random surprises. I'm also wondering if people find the performance to be ok? I have not added any static "eye candy" to the carrier in order to help with frame rates, but can add some if people think performance will be ok.

Thanks for the feedback! I had originally made it as a hot start, but then changed it to cold and I guess I hadn’t added enough time to compensate. I’ll have a look and maybe do some adjustments.

DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3309865/ This is a short, multiplayer mission featuring the Supercarrier. Strike targets at the Bandar Abbas Airport using shore based and carrier aircraft. (bring SEAD) SITUATION Two days ago, elements of the IIRAF struck commercial shipping in the strait of Hormuz, resulting in numerous ships damaged or destroyed. Today, the United States and her allies are striking back. MISSION Your mission today is to attack IIRAF forces based at Bandar Abbas airport. THREATS The fighter aircraft currently sitting alert at Bandar Abbas are MiG-29 and F-5 aircraft. They are augmented by a F-14 CAP patrolling the straits that are based out of Shiraz. The Iranians have demonstrated, in the past, the ability to scramble fighters with 5 minute warning. The Iranians have an SA-2 battery located on the Western edge of Qeshm Island which is in operation 24 hours a day. Further to the North, Bandar Abbas is defended by a SA-3 battery. Mobile SA-6 indications have been reported, there is a chance they may be basing these missiles on islands in the Gulf. Iranian shore based radar and communications jamming has been observed in recent weeks. WEATHER The weather in the target area is VFR, winds light and variable, visibility 10 miles in smog, ceiling unlimited and altimeter setting is 29.92 *********************************************** AIRCRAFT ASSIGNMENTS CALLSIGN A/C ROLE FREQ CHEVY 1 F-15C SWEEP 322.5 DODGE 1 F/A-18C STRIKE 342.2 DODGE 9 AV-8B STRIKE 341.5 FORD 5 F-14B SWEEP 227.5 PONTIAC 3 F-16C STRIKE 141.1 UZI 2 F/A-18C SEAD 246.8 DARKSTAR E-3A AWACS 328.5 (PRIME) 274.1 (SECONDARY) TEXACO 51 KC-135 TANKER 297.5 TACAN 51Y SHELL 31 KC-130 TANKER 321.3 TACAN 31Y *********************************************** WAYPOINTS ALL EXCEPT HORNETS WP.1 MARSHALL PUSH TIME 02:05 WP.2 IP WP.3 TARGET AREA WP.4 EGRESS WP.5 LAND HORNET WAYPOINTS WP.1 MARSHALL PUSH TIME 02:05 WP.2 IP WP.3 TARGET AREA WP.4 EGRESS WP.5 BULLSEYE WP.6 LAND *********************************************** LANDING/DEPARTURE USS LINCOLN 245.5 74X (CVN) CH.11 BRC 040 USS TARAWA 363.3 05X (LHA) BRC 040 MINHAD AFB 251.1 99X (MIN) RWY 09 Bandar Abbas Mission Briefing 1p901.pdf

Keybinds... If you're in the Hornet, you need to use the keybind for COMM1 and COMM2. It's Right-Alt and \ and Right-Control and \

Hi! I'd like to have available an option to change the frequency that the carrier is using, similar to how you can use a switched condition to set a different frequency for an AI aircraft or ground unit. Example, the aircraft takes off and the "tower" frequency is 333.55, and when it returns, the tower frequency is 305.225. Thanks!

To get that sound file to play, you need to add it into the mission... Set a sound file to play as an action for a flag that will never fire. See example photo below. Flag 6666 is not part of my mission, it will never ever fire. But by adding the sound file this way, you add it into your mission file, and can be played via script after it's been added.

Thanks, BIGNEWY, sorry, I must have missed the report. Cheers!

Thanks, Pikey, I'll give it a try tomorrow!

Hey SYDY! I've updated the campaign to version 1.9 today, and I should have the issue in mission 7 and 10 fixed now. Some of the missions are now Cold Starts, too.

Video of my test

Apologies if this has been posted before... I used to be able to select a dumb bomb in CCIP. Then I'd desingate a target with Waypoint Desginate and it would switch to auto. On the roll in, you'd then be able to UnDesignate the target and the bomb would revert to CCIP mode. This doesn't seem to happen on the latest Open Beta 2.5.6.47404. Instead, upon undesignate, the bomb remains in Auto mode but with no target to bomb. Track file attached, WAGS video linked showing how it's supposed to (or used to) work. autotoccip not working.trk

Practice makes 93.3% Perfect

Could be busted, so much broke with 2.5.6. Yes, there is supposed to be a helo.

Thanks, Sydy! I'll take it under advisement. Right now I'd say most of my DCS time is going to be dedicated to Bold Cheetah, but I do plan on going back to Vulcan Forge once day in the near future.
