IronMike Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Welcome Pilots to the 104TH BACK TO THE FUTURE WEEKS! Due to the release of DCS 1.5 we were forced to rebuild our missions from scratch and we wanted to do something special for you. That is why we bring you the most popular mission of Flaming Cliffs 2 and maybe the most flown and popular mission of all times: OPERATION MOONSHIELD The Original! originally created by DCS legends 104th_Crunch and 104th_MoGas - recreated and brought to you by 104th_IronMike. Relive the golden days of FC 2 in the new awesome look of DCS 1.5! Every unit, every trigger, every AI - is at the EXACT same place as it was, including all static objects and aircraft spawn locations, just as some of you will still remember. We hope you enjoy this historic mission as much as we have been looking forward to it! -------------------------------------- BRIEFING: briefing map link: http://www.mediafire.com/view/et1a63di35jcaie/moonshield.jpg# The first side that destroys the 6 main groups of enemy ground units first wins the battle and the mission will rotate. Each group of main ground units enters the mission after the previous one is destroyed. Operation: Moonshield Six months ago, the world stood in awe when the biggest archaeological discovery of mankind was announced by a German team from the University of Heidelberg. Remains of a 120,000 year old capital city were discovered in western Georgia. In the ruins many things were found, including books that were written in a very ancient language, as well as many unknown artifacts. Although not confirmed by official sources, these objects are believed to be a form of unknown technology. Now the world is re-writing its history books. Very recently, strange vibrations were detected beneath the ruins. The patterns in these vibrations were artificial in nature and even contained a message. The German team began drilling and made a huge discovery. Quickly after this the Russian army came in, kidnapped the archaeologists, and took over the entire area. What exactly was discovered is unknown, but it was important enough that Georgia was invaded by the Russian army to gain control of the find. Soon after this aggressive Russian move, NATO forces came in and occupied the northern part of the Crimean area, and even large parts of Russia. In a desperate attempt for military support, Russian intelligence services sold information about the discovery to the Israeli secret service 'Mossad'. Israeli forces were then sent to Georgia to support Russia and keep control of the area.

EDIT: For the time being: - changed zu-23s to shilkas, because emplacements are not visible atm (bug) - disabled AI Su-30s and AI F-18s as they like to chase players all over the map, rather sticking to their search and engange zone.
