Hi Guys, next mission posted, pilots needed, I will be flying this one

Alan, are you willing to plan this one please?(You do such a good job of it). Mission Frag and Miz file here: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=5630.

I've had a look Paul. It seems fairly straight forward, but lacking in detail at the moment.

I have attached my initial outline miz.

Sorry guys I'm out on that Tues and won't be home until gone 9.

Happy to test anything though

Sorry to hear that Richard.

You may have noticed a couple of 'deliberate errors' in my plan - I will correct the weapons load idc.

Latest sortie plan is attached, as 'Concord 97 Sqn.miz'.

I will draw up a brief early next week. Ideally, we should be looking for 2-4 A-10s.

All ac will carry 4 Mav-Ds, plus GBU-12s and GBU 54Bs as main weapons, plus AAM, and pods. A/C are heavy, and depending on our numbers, we may off-load some fuel and ordnance before departure.

Still some confusion in my mind about timings, I am assuming a T/O of 1320Z (Mission Z time I think). ATC also thinks we are using the LH r/w, but last time we used RH. Also, when I try to use the published ATC Freq of 122.9, my ac switches automatically to 121.9, which is the published airfield frequency. I am not sure whether this is my set-up, the new ARC 210 playing up, or DCS being pissed-off at us not using its published data.

Nice one , Thanks Alan.

Hi Alan,

You are right we are using Right, the AI will be using left, then we'll have no problem if the tanker or any other AI controlled aircraft try to land or take off.

Minor mod made to the previously issued route. I have added a WP around 5 nm South of the target area to ease congestion. It should ease re-attacks by multiple aircraft, but keep us well clear of Red AA.

I will cover it in the brief and have included the revised A-10 sortie plan.

Attached is a slightly amended updated version of the A-10 mission element, together with a pre-flt brief.
