F/A-18C Multiplayer Cooperation Campaign - Operation Hormuz [Remastered]

[Jenson]

[Designer's Notes] 
1. Hawk 1-1 (Player 1, Tail # 211), is the mission commander for every mission, and must be selected to trigger designed events. 
2. Cold start time is limited for some missions, it's highly recommended that the server remains paused until all players are seated and ready. 
3. Please keep the original weapon loadout as some mission triggers will only be activated by a specified weapon type.
4. Please read the briefing material carefully in each mission pack. Please follow the flight waypoints, otherwise, some events might not be triggered. 
5. It requires at least 4 players to complete most of the missions. But it's recommended to play with 4 or more players. Hawk 1 Flight is usually designed for primary objective, Hawk 2 Flight is for secondary objective, whilst an hot-on-ramp Hawk 3 with AA Loadout doesn't carry any specific tasks but just in case more than 8 players want to play the game, feel free to change loadout and goals for Hawk 3.

Hi guys,

I just made a 2-8 multiplayer hornet COOP mission, it's a simple runway attack under Prowler's (S3B as EA-6B) EW cover. It has detailed mission briefing in pdf inside the download package. 

Operation Hormuz Mission 01 (digitalcombatsimulator.com)

I planned to make a series of mission as a whole campaign, it doesn't have much thrilling plots or challenging tasks, but mainly focuse on following briefing instructions, fly tactical formation and basic weapon handling in an "as-real-as-possible" battlefield environment for multiplayer COOP. 

Hope you enjoy it. Welcome for comments, and please give feedbacks if there's any bugs, thanks.

Played the first mission with a  friend last night, and really enjoyed it. The only suggestion I have is could we get the briefing info in the kneeboard please? It's really tricky in VR, especially remembering 8 sets of PP JDAM coords

Merry Christmas, update mission 09

Didn't know how to do that before, but will give it a try.

My squadron and me are very much enjoying your work. Many thanks for all the effort. We just passed Mission 4 and are very curious of what to come. Very immersive and a great challenge for us. The way you are doing it is very good and the training effect is excellent. In every mission there are different things we need to know or learn.

Do you have an idea what the total amount of missions will be?

Thanks and take care,

Xoxen

If you check the start time of each mission, you will find that each mission starts at a different hour of a day, and each mission will plus one day from previous mission. So, yes, there will be 24 missions in 24 consecutive days at 24 different hours of a day. Meanwhile, each mission will be designed for a specific weapon handling or skill training. 

Keep going, it will get more interesting as the campaign developes.

Here is mission fourteen, too busy these days and this one came a little bit late.

Me and my flying buddies are about to start this campaign.  Can't wait to see how we do!  Thanks for putting together co-op content.  We need more of this from/for the community.  Thanks!
