Practice (not Training) Missions?

[MichaelJWP15]

Ok, firstly I am loving this remarkable module and have had a lot of fun just flying around looking at the amazing internal and external models!

So I have tried the training missions, first 4 great, but getting further on, my head is spinning when the instructor is basically reading out reams of the manual and switchology.

I think my preferred way of learning is to read the procedure and manual, then use an appropriate practice mission configured to practice that particular technique. Anyone know of anything like this available? I guess it is still early days, there are excellent ones available for the older modules like the F-16, F-18 etc.

Yes, have a look at the instant action missions -

Unfortunately with the way DCS works, you have to enter the mission in order to figure out what the mission is actually about ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ 

However the bombing missions are easily identified and have feedback system telling you how each bombing run went.
Then you have BFM missions, which are on the easier side (I feel like the AI is nerfed maybe?), there is an air2air refueling mission over Nevada etc...

I have converted a transport shoot down scenario from Viggen for A2A practice. The player is not being shot at, so one can take time to try using the radar, interacting with Jester, employing sparrows, sidewinders and gun. If you like to have a go, please let me know.

Edit: Attach it here:

Note the missiles used, IIRC, are of the M variants to ease things up. There are 4 IL-76 instead of the original 5. Have fun.

Thanks! will have a go with that tonight

(Self-promotion) In case you wish to get some idea what that scenario would be, here is a video showing partially the mission would be, and is used to prove the Jester on F-4E has some issues...
