Caucasus BVR training missions for the Viper (mission files attached)

[Aquorys]

In this thread, member swaps asked whether anyone had created a Caucasus theater BVR training mission. It was quite a lot of work, but I finally made a collection of training missions.

Mission descriptions:

All missions feature airborne aircraft in the target area, ready to jump in and engage targets, as well as aircraft that are ready to roll on the runway at the Kobuleti airfield. Levels 1 - 4 also feature cold & dark aircraft at the ramp for startup training. Your airfield is protected by an air defense system, so that you can land or take off again safely in case you need to run from a hostile aircraft. You are supported by an AWACS aircraft escorted by two fighters. There is also a little bit of eye-candy at the Kobuleti airfield, so you don't feel so alone at the ramp.

The missions are arranged in ascending difficulty. This includes increasingly capable hostile aircraft, but also more realism (e.g., limited map view) and more difficult conditions in general.

Level 1 - Sandbox

8 attack aircraft target drones, unarmed, and they do not react to threats in any way.
Excellent visibilty, few clouds, no wind.
This mission is ideal for learning the fundamentals, like how to use the radar and weapon systems.
You have unlimited weapons and unlimited fuel in this mission.

Level 2 - Strategic bomber targets

Two bombers flying at high altitude over the black sea, armed with guns, but you probably shouldn't get that close.
You have unlimited weapons in this mission, but you don't have unlimited fuel.

Level 3 - Basic

Hostile fighters patroling continuously near Sochi, armed with short-range missiles.
This is an entry level mission for learning how to engage fighter targets and some basic combat tactics and maneuvering.

Level 4 - Moderate

A single hostile fighter patroling continuously near Sochi, armed with radar guided BVR missiles and short range missiles. Limited range air defenses at Sochi.
This is where tactical BVR training begins, as your opponent is also BVR capable now.

Level 5 - Challenging

A single hostile air superiority fighter near Sochi, armed with radar guided BVR missiles and short range missiles. Low to high altitude air defenses at Sochi.
Situational awareness, exploiting tactical advantages and missile evasion skills are the key to mastering this mission.

Level 6 - Intense

A single hostile air superiority fighter near Sochi, armed with various BVR missiles and short range missiles. Powerful low to high altitude air defenses at Sochi.
If you haven't had enough so far, this final mission requires some serious flying and tactical skills if you want to make it home in one piece.
 

Note that shooting down the hostile aircraft should not be your only priority as you progress in your training. The missions are designed so that you should be able to fly back home and land as an optional challenge to complete each mission. This also means that you may sometimes have to abort the mission.

 

Please let me know if something seems wrong or dysfunctional to you.

Cheers & y'all have fun!
