Operation Resolute Lift - Resupply and medevac for a cut off FOB in Afghnaistan

[Don Rudi]

Insurgent fighters have mined the vital supply routes from Jalalabad to FOB Thunder and thereby cut off the base from being replenished by road. Your task is to fly 5 palettes with about 10,000lbs of supplies from Kabul to the base and on the return evacuate 6 wounded servicemen. Due to the insurgent activity, you will be escorted by Reaper21, an AH-64D Apache.

Mission features:

• ~100 quality voice overs

• custom kneeboard pages

• internal cargo transportation

• dynamically changing visibilities

• custom ATC (do NOT use ingame ATC)

• detailed manual

• seperate audio crew briefing (thanks Nathan!)

 

Your requirements:

• flightplan handling in the CDU/MFD (you will have to fly the reverse route on your way back to Kabul)

• setting radio frequencies on the ARC186 and the CDU

• use of A/A TACAN (not mandatory, but helpful to keep the proper distance to Reaper. How to is included in the manual)

Very nice and well-made mission! From fiddling with the radio, the 'rushed' takeoff, staying in formation with Reaper (nice little challenge, btw), the route through the mountain valley, voiced lines … really well done. Thanks a lot!

@muniman69 Thanks so much, glad you like it 

I see on you HSD that you didn't use the A/A Tacan, or did you switch it off for the return to base? It helps to see the distance to Reaper and adjust one's own speed accordingly imho. It'll be even more helpful once the bearing also works

I switched it off about a third of the way back to base. I agree, the spinning bearing needle wasn't very helpful :), but at least seeing the distance and time was. Also, setting the correct QNH (I know where, but it doesn't work, I think).

I really love the Chinook, so this won't have been the last mission - promised

Yes, QNH doesn't work yet. input of MG doesn't work at all and if I try to enter 1012 MB (the equivalent to 29.88), it shows 1050. I am looking forward when all this is implemented, also the full radio navigation
