Please read the Bold Cheetah Campaign overview for more details on installation. ******************** Bold Cheetah is designed for a player who is proficient in the use of the DCS F/A-18C Hornet module and its weapons systems. You will also require knowledge of US Carrier operations and how to conduct operations off both aircraft carriers and land bases. Examples of challenges you will need to be able to perform include: 1. Case 1 and Case 3 operations, day and night 2. Ability to meet time over target requirements 3.

A glossary of useful terms is located at the end of this guide to help you out. ******************** INSTALLATION This campaign is designed and tested for DCS the latest Open Beta version.. I will endeavour to keep it updated as new Open Beta versions are released. I highly recommend players use the Open Beta version of DCS to get the most from this campaign. This means it will not work well on any version of DCS that is not the latest. Unzip the contents of the download to your C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Missions\Campaigns\en folder. Since there is not currently an Iranian F-14 skin in game, I have used the amazing IRIAF Blue-Grey skin by Sadjad_Vosoul, which can be downloaded here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304485/ Download and extract that file into your C:\Users\YOURNAMEHERE\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\F-14B folder. If you do not have a folder named F-14B, then you can create one in that location, then extract the contents. If you do not do this, the Iranian F-14 in-game will visually appear to be an American Tomcat. Once you download and install the campaign and skin, you will find it in the “My Campaigns” section listed as F/A-18C – Bold Cheetah. ******************** SITUATION UPDATE JUNE 1, 2013 The USS Abraham Lincoln and its task group have taken up station in the Gulf of Oman, and will soon commence air operations in support of the invocation of Article 5. The objective of our presence is to deter the Iranians from any military expansion in the region, and to show our allies that we are here for them. Our goal is to provide support to the UAE governments in fighting the growing insurgency on the peninsula. US, British, Canadian and French special forces are now on the ground, helping advise the UAE military in counter insurgency strategy. The air wing will provide assistance to this effort, including Close Air Support over and on UAE territory, and air defense of UAE and Saudi Arabian airspace. At this time, we will not be commencing any military action against any regular Iranian military force, nor will we violate the 12-mile Iranian territorial waters or 12-mile airspace boundary. However, we will be ready to strike, if and when called upon. It is hoped that once the regime in Tehran gets a taste of our presence in the region, cooler heads will prevail and they will de-escalate. ******************** More information is included in the Docs folder inside the .zip file. ******************** Author’s Note As you may know, the release of Bold Cheetah has been delayed for quite some time. In fact, the campaign has been completed for well over a year now, but due to some real-life challenges I had to put off submitting it as an official, 3rd party developer. These challenges are continuing, and I foresee them continuing into the near future. This situation has, unfortunately, caused me to pause my pursuit of releasing Bold Cheetah as a 3rd party, paid DLC. At the same time, I’m aware that I’ve been promising it’s been “coming soon” for far too long. I have decided to release the campaign, for free, into the User Files section of the ED website. I started working on Bold Cheetah back in 2018 and finished it up in 2021. It’s been a lot of hard work, and I’m really excited for you to finally enjoy it and I look forward to your feedback.

DOWNLOAD LINK: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321102/ Version 1.0 - Requires latest DCS Open Beta - NOTE - This is a quickly built mission to get you into the action right away and for me to test rapid mission making. - There are two missions in the zip file. They are both the same except one is daytime and one is nighttime. Once you are in any of the missions, you can use the radio menu, F10 option to switch to the other time of day. SITUATION Yesterday morning, Russian forces initiated a full-scale invasion of Georgia. This unprovoked and evil attack consisted of major armoured thrusts from 3 different directions, plus airborne and helicopter assaults at various locations throughout the country. NATO and US forces are responding to the area, with the first in country US Army asset is a platoon of AH-64D Apache helicopters. They have set up base at a FARP to the west of Tbilisi, and are gearing up for operations in the AO. MISSION Late yesterday afternoon, Russian special forces attempted a heliborne assault of Senaki airfield. They landed approximately 100 troops on the base, but were unable to secure the whole facility. This, combined with Georgian anti aircraft forces, prevented the Russians from landing their transports and re-enforcing the base. The Georgian forces on the ground have taken back most of Senaki airfield, but a small platoon sized Russian force still occupies the airfield administration and base ops complex on the north side. Our mission tonight is to support the Georgian troops retaking the base. Primary targets include machine gun positions in two guard towers, plus a bunker. Georgian troops will give us further direction when we are on scene. WEATHER The weather is low clouds with bases approximately 2500ft AGL. Visibility is 20km + in occasional light snow. Winds are light out of the north between 5 – 10 knots. Altimeter 29.92. THREATS Russian special forces on the Senaki airfield may be armed with heavy machine guns, RPG and MANPADS. There is no Russian armour within 50 km of the base. The air picture is complicated, with both Russia and Georgia flying the same types of airframes, for the most part. The low weather has hampered both sides from establishing air superiority over the battlefield, and Georgian anti-aircraft capability is denying the Russians easy overflights. PLAN OF ATTACK Set your radios up on the ground at FARP Vitaly prior to takeoff. FARP VITALY 121.0 TACAN 34X GEORGIA SF 30.0 INTERFLIGHT 30.0 MAGIC 309.7 Depart FOB Vitaly comm out and proceed direct SP 1 (MADAINI).
