Hi everyone,

I've been working on a mission in DCS based on the Falklands Conflict I original produced back in 2018,  https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3102536/, specifically focusing on the air defence of British ships during the attack on RFA Sir Galahad and RFA Sir Tristram at Bluff Cove. The mission centers around a CAP (Combat Air Patrol) flown by British Harriers as they protect the fleet from Argentine air attacks.

Link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3340462/ V2.6

I also want to thank all the other creators of the Mods I've used to create this mission (listed below).

Mission Overview:

  • Time Frame: June 8, 1982
  • Aircraft: Sea Harriers from No. 800 NAS
  • Objective: Provide air cover for the British fleet and engage incoming enemy aircraft.
  • Key Events: Includes coordination with HMS  Intrepid SAR operations for downed pilots, and ongoing naval bombardment at Mount Kent and Stanley.
  • Scenario: Harrier pilots Flt Lt Morgan and Lt Smith engage four A-4 Skyhawks and ensure the safety of British ships in a high-pressure combat environment.

Current Features:

  • Custom dialogue with radio calls between pilots, HMS Hermes, HMS Intrepid, Pilots and SAR units.
  • Dynamic enemy air attacks, requiring strategic response from the player.
  • Naval bombardment in progress, adding an extra layer of complexity to the mission.
  • As close as I can find out to true events ,weather and units. 

Required Mods:

A-4E-C

Royal Navy Sea King

 

PUCARA IA-58 FMA ARGENTINA 

SAM Sites Asset Pack

 

HighDigitSams 

Skins:

What's Still in Progress:

  • Fine-tuning enemy aircraft behaviour to create more dynamic engagements.
  • Adding more interactive voiceovers to enhance immersion.
  • Search and Rescue (SAR) standby for potential emergencies.
  • Balancing difficulty to ensure both seasoned pilots and newer players can enjoy the mission.
  • Creating a multi-player mission.
  • CombatFlite integration.
  • Ground force voice overs
  • Create a lite version (Less Mods)

Known Bugs:

 

  • Game crash if F2 is pressed to soon at mission start. ok after 5 seconds
  • Wingman can sometimes hit the rear of your aircraft if you leave your parking spot too soon.

 

Feedback Needed:

  • AI behaviour: Any suggestions on improving enemy AI aggressiveness and tactics would be appreciated.
  • Voiceover/Dialogue: I’m working on adding more authentic radio chatter. If anyone has tips on making it sound more realistic or tools for text-to-speech, I’d love to hear them.
  • Mission Flow: Is the pacing of engagements and tasks smooth? Does the mission keep you engaged without feeling overwhelming?
  • Units: Are the skins correct and units correct

I would really appreciate any feedback, whether it’s about bugs, mission flow, or ideas for improvement. This mission is still a work in progress, so any suggestions will help me refine it into something great for the community.

Thanks in advance for your help, and feel free to download the mission and try it out!

Looks great, looking forward to trying it out. New Harrier content has been sorely missed! And a multiplayer/coop version would be ace.
