VSN F-4B protecting B-52s

[Doc3908]

Four Navy F-4Bs protecting a large flight of BUFFs on their way to bomb a red airfield. We have four USAF F-5s also flying cover. The opponents are eight MiG-21s and eight MiG-19s. And that's only half the fun - then we have to get back to the boat...

I can post the mission if anyone want to try it...

I'd love to try it, as it seems to be for Single Player (didnt watch the whole video)

Well, I posted it under "My files" in the "User Files" section of DCS, but it shows the status as "not active". I assume they'll look it over and "activate" it at some point. Or is there something else I must do??

correct, you just have to wait a bit

You're right - it's active now. Here's the link:

Let me know if it works. Hope you have fun!

Thanks, I will fly it more fully tomorrow, but so far I can make the following suggestions:

 

- Add a short Briefing text, to have the player understand what are his objectives, what is his flightplan, how to find the carrier after completing the mission, etc.

- The mission is set on the year 2071, probably a typo?

- The mission requires the A-4E mod, in addition to the VSN F-4B/C, but this fact is not stated on the Files description. Stating that the mission is for the Caucasus Map would be good, to have the complete requirements list before deciding to download the file.

- As the mission starts in the air, it would be nice if the player's F-4 spawned with the autopilot enabled.

 

Cheers, and thanks for sharing it, as the VSN F-4 still has very few missions.
