Ka-50 AFAC mission: Single multiplayer and MP Coop 2

Both versions of this mission, the Single Player Multi Player (SPMP) and MP coop 2, must be hosted on a server running DCS: World 1.2.0 and Slmod version 6.0 or higher.

This mission demonstrates how Slmod v6 allows a new mission type for the Ka-50 to be simulated effectively: Airborne Forward Air Controller (AFAC). In this mission, you will use smoke rockets to mark the location of enemy forces. Once the location of an enemy target group is marked, a flight of Su-25s will roll in and attack the target you marked.

This mission began as a proof of concept, but I developed it a bit more so that it was also a flyable combat mission.

Two varieties of the mission are provided:

Single Player Multi Player (SPMP): this is, effectively, a single player mission, but you must host it in multiplayer and play by yourself (just password-protect or host it on LAN). Other than that, there is only one other significant difference between this and a single player mission: the results will not count on your logbook, of course.

Multiplayer coop 2: two-player multiplayer mission.

NOTE#1: You MUST use the Slmod Parallel Options System (POS) chat commands to tell the Su-25s when they should ramp start and take off. It is highly recommended that you re-bind chat message to all to the "tab" key in all aircraft. In some (all?) aircraft, it is, by default, right control-m.

NOTE #2: You are free to modify and redistribute this mission as you see fit. If you add more Ka-50s, the scripts for detecting smoke rockets impacting in moving zones will still work; however, adding A-10s would require you to change the scripts to look for the type of smoke rockets that A-10s can carry. If you wish to make this modification, read the Slmod v6 guide, and if you have any more questions, you can PM me.

Briefing:

SITUATION:

Caucasus Emirate militants, using captured Russian army vehicles, have taken control of Vladikavkaz. All we have in the region is a handful of outdated Ka-50s and Su-25s. To clear out the militants, we will have the Ka-50s eliminate any air defenses, then serve as Airborne Forward Air Controllers (AFAC) for Su-25s by marking targets for them with smoke rockets.

TASK:

Note: This mission requires Slmod version 6.0 or higher.

Chat commands:

"-sol" - shows the options list. You must use the option list to signal the Su-25s to take off!

In this mission you will be operating with flight 101, a four-ship Su-25 flight operating out of Mozdok, frequency and modulation 124 MHz AM.

Proceed to Vladikavkaz. Utilize the standoff range of your Vikhrs to clear out air defenses. When ready, signal the Su-25s to take off using the Slmod options list (the chat message "-sol" will display the current available options on the options list). After 15-20 minutes, the Su-25s should arrive on station north of Vladikavkaz, and go into an orbit. Once you have gotten the notification that the Su-25s are on station, you may begin marking enemy targets with smoke rockets. When a target is marked, the Su-25s will engage it.
