Downed Pilot - My First DCS Scenario Based Mission

[Friar]

Salute,

I am pleased to present my first scenario based DCS mission "Downed Pilot". I have tried to incorporate planes for all roles (Really sorry FT but I could not find anything for the I-16   can we tempt you into something else? happy to adjust the mission for you).

All we need to do is to find a night to host it on? Suggestions welcome. Thanks to DD_Fenrir for assistance with some of the techie bits.

I hope the scenario works, but as it is my first go at this sort of thing I am sure you will forgive me if it does not quite go as I think it will.......

The full mission briefing is shown below;

PILOT DOWN

Last night whilst returning from a mission, Captain Bruce Williams (call sign "Brewster") was shot down but ejected safely. His data shows that his plane crashed North East of Pokyesh (Grid Ref GH1141). Captain Williams also activated his personal tracker which shows he headed South East during the night covering approximatley 12km. His track is availble on the mission map. His last reported position was at 04:00 this morning just North East of Achigvara (Grid Ref GH12). No further track has been recorded so we can only assume that as light started to break he has gone to ground in this area.
We will therefore focus our seach in this location.
A search zone has been marked on the mission map.
The Captain is one of our most senior and experienced pilots and know he will deploy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training.

He will fire 2 ORANGE flairs when he has visual contact with the search teams and also set off an ORANGE smoke canister.

The recovery helicopters should land close to this position. Capt Williams may also place some sort of ground marker to assist with the pick-up point. Look out for anything unusual in the area.

Once you have landed, Captain Williams will break cover and come out to the LZ.

He must be recovered at all costs.

The enemy are active in this zone both in the air and on the ground and will be out to stop his return.

Good luck Gentlemen. High Command and Captain Williams are counting on you to pull this off.

Sounds wonderful Colin, excited to give it a go. Thanks for the work and time you put into it.

[DD_Sheriff]

I will try to be out of bed in time for this one ... 

 

[Friar]

I know it all depends on what day / time we run this but if you would like to take part can I have some indication of what you would like to fly. I know some people are a given i.e. Fenrir F14, myself Apache but what would others like?

It will help me to see if I need to add some more targets suitable for the attacking plane.

I will then build up a list of who is what and could then perhaps also organise some command structure?

[Sid]

Thanks for this Friar.

OV-10 Bronco for me. 2nd choice F5

[fruitbat]

I'm happy to fly Apache, Tomcat or the Viper, but maybe most sensible would be to lead the SEAD/DEAD mission in the Vipers.

[delta7]

F5 please 

[BluBear]

F-16 please!

Looks great Col.

[Zukker]

Let me know when you are going to run this one. I would love to fly the Huey! looks to be a great and fun mission.
