WiWishing you and your family all the best and thank you for all the fun times flying with you during the year. CHEERS

Full Briefing - Release V1 Scenario Red forces have pushed out of Syria from Jarabulus in the eastern side of Syria and taken control of the regional airfield of Gaziantep in Turkey. There are also signs that they are planning to push in and take the Forward Operating Base located West of Rayhanli, code named "Alpha". These actions must be countered. Having negated these incursions Blue forces should then commence the push back into Syria and take over airfields, towns and FOBs all the way down to Damascus. Blue forces will start their fight back from Incirlik, Hatay, Adana and Akrotiri airfields as well as a small output FOB at Nurdagi. There is also a Carrier fleet in the locality. Game Play Other than the Carrier, FOBs and Adana all bases will use the Dynamic Spawn capability and hot start will be an option. These missions will track your scores and the impact from any encounters will be carried forward from mission to mission. You should make sure you land safely back at a Blue occupied base to bank your points. The results from each session must be saved via a menu option at the end of play. Menu options allow players to their view their own score and also the score for other players. Some of these menus are specific to certain plane types so depending on what you are flying means you may not see all the menu options. You will also be able to get an update on the status of airfields and towns as to which side is in control via the menu options. Once the controlling forces of an airfield or town have been negated the area can then be captured by the deployment of ground forces. Each new captured area provides the opportunity to pick-up new troops. Captured airfields will also provide new spawn points for aircraft and/or helicopters, thus assisting the move down the map. However should the red forces loose control of a base, they will probably mount an attack to recover any lost assets. Captured airfields will have very limited air defenses and it is strongly recommended that Hercules out of Adana bring in supplies once the airfield is safe and as early as possible after capture. Captured bases may also have limited number of spawns per plane type available so you will need to think about not just throwing away your air frame. Home bases have unlimited spawns and resources. Some bases once captured will not provide new spawns but will enable the option to land and repair, rearm or refuel. Some of these bases will require extra supplies to be brought in by the Hercules. Some captured FOBS will require ground resources to be sent in after capture to provide fuel and supplies before any RRR can take place. All captured bases will provide an opportunity to land and bank any kills you have to save your scores. Threats - Army The Red forces will have multiple ground units placed around the map defending key areas. You can expect to encounter many types of ground and air defenses. Some units may be held back and out of sight until required to take part in the engagement, so do not underestimate their strength. Threats - Air Force The Red air force is made up of an aging fleet of Migs and SU designated aircraft, but do not mistake this for being an easy fight. They will be deployed to patrol and attack where required to maximize their strengths. Threats - Navy There is a limited threat from the Red forces Navy. The only information we have is that there are three "Grisha" class corvettes currently located in Tartus port undergoing refits. Two of these three ships are awaiting sea trials before their weapons systems become fully operational. The other is believed to have completed the sea trials and now has all of its weapons systems functioning.

Here's a little challenge for all of you Viper pilots, a blind landing approach using the ILS to land, utilising the new fog settings in the mission builder for a low visibility landing, mission attached. 2 F-16's are available, one 50 miles out to use TACAN to get on the correct radial before switching to ILS, and the second one 10 miles out on radial and correct height for a straight in ILS approach. If using the second spawn, best to start in active pause and enter the correct Tacan and ILS frequency into the DED before unpausing. Its a relief when the runway comes into view!!! f-16 ILS landing.miz

UPDATE 11th December 2024 Two versions now available 05:30am and 01:10am (NVG's at the ready) Missions can be selected from Comms menu Both versions have menu controlled Fog settings Fog settings based on either Carrier or Shiraz

UPDATE 28TH DECEMBER 2024 Added option to stop enemy AI flights Added option to stop drone flights

Then I made them into uploadable movies to YT. Enjoy! I often dig through the gigs of stuff I've saved to hear our voices and Camaraderie. I've been aiming to do this for years, and I might as well do it now and get rid of the large files off my PC. Besides, I'll probably never get that involved in this game again. I had broken my ankle that fall and was off work for 8 weeks, so I had time to brush up on things. This next one is just me finding a flight of Beufighters online while piloting a 109 and after watching it a few times I think Kira was actually in one, thus the reason we were quiet I think.

On are way back to said landing, after a very successful mission, multiple SAM's and enemy jets. 1 Jf-17 for me along with 2 SA-8's and an SA-6, whilst Tom had 5 enemy jets.

Congratulations gents Despite strong air cover resulting in some loses we managed to destroy a key bridge and harass the axis tanks. Due to our sterling efforts the axis have lost all control of North Africa and have retreated to italy or surrendered. Our next mission is of vital importance to the war effort. The boffins have stated that if we can disrupt oil supplies to the axis forces this will cripple their war effort. Due to us controlling Libya we are able to launch an attack on oil fields in Romania, our target is Poliesti , a major oil refinery . Due to air cover we will attack on the deck with A 20s. escort will be P-51 b Operation Tidal Wave was an air attack by bombers of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) based in Libya on nine oil refineries around Ploiești, Romania, on 1 August 1943, during World War II. It was a strategic bombing mission and part of the "oil campaign" to deny petroleum-based fuel to the Axis powers. This operation was one of the costliest for the USAAF in the European Theater, with 53 aircraft and 500 aircrewmen lost. It was proportionally the most costly major Allied air raid of the war, and its date was later referred to as "Black Sunday". Five Medals of Honor and 56 Distinguished Service Crosses, along with numerous other awards, went to Operation Tidal Wave crew members. A 1999 research report prepared for the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama concluded that the bombing campaign in Ploiești was "one of the bloodiest and most heroic missions of all time".[

I have just uploaded a new version which I hope will correct a couple of the issues. The crew chiefs should now all speak English I have removed the display of points / kills to stop the screen being obliterated when @PapaBear does what PapaBear does. Should also help VR users. You now only have to land at the airfield and stop for 10 seconds to bank your points. The whole airfield is a safe zone. I may be on this evening to check these out, but if you want to test it please do. The mission can be re-started via the comss F10 menu, where you will also find other features.
