The flight leads were great at giving advice and creating practice tools for us ahead of time and were great in-game in keeping track of us newbies and answering any questions we had. Everyone on the server was super chill and had a great time joking around and keeping the game light and fun. Not sure if I'll have the time to join again next Saturday but if I can I will. Just want to second this, I played the first mission in an F15 flying that thing for the third time ever in a 'take off and reasonably hope to land' level of experience, I have just signed up for this week's mission in an A10 I will at some point between now and Saturday watch some videos to find out what controls I need to map to make the thing work.

Also, I did not realize how important face tracking profiles were in OpenTrack. I've been using AI Track/OpenTrack via my webcam for a while now in MSFS and it worked ok enough out the box for sightseeing but still resulted in me flying stick+mouse instead of HOTAS because of how often it would glitch out or lose center. About an hour before the flight Saturday I imported someone's preset DCS profile and suddenly it worked exactly as it should and it was amazing. I'll still keep an eye out towards getting a GrassMonkey puck but it's a much less pressing issue now.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTX1lI8COuQ  Drone Footage out of Zugdidi area :   THE GREAT OLIVE OIL SHORTAGE So it seems the DFAC ran dry of olive oil. Jedi 1 has left the flight line and is hunting for "quality" olive oil in Tblisi. In a show of solidarity Devil 2 is joining them. Other issues, the Oregon F-15C's are down for maintenance. On top of that the Tomcats are in maintainer hell, it looks like a swimming pool of hydraulic fluid under them.  OBJECTIVES PRIMARY Secure Zugdidi area Anaklia Beachhead Destroyed Enguri Dam Area Clear SECONDARY Strike Artillery in Nabakevi TERTIARY SEAD of SA-6 and SA-3 site "somewhere" in deep Abkhazia. This tasking is optional and can likely be ignored, but be aware that these are operating. FLIGHTS Weasel 1 - F-16C (Batumi) Devil 1 - F-18C (Batumi) Tusk 1 - A-10A Warthog (Senaki) Tusk 2 - A-10C Warthog II (Senaki) Colt 1 - UH-1H - Huey  (FARP)Dodge 1 - MI-24P HIND (FARP) Enfield 1 & 2 - SU-25T (Senaki) THREATS MANPAD (Igla) AAA SA-3 & SA-6 Somewhere in Abkhazia MIG-23 (Two Remaining) HELO's (Likely? KA-50 / HIND) I'd like our F-16's and F-18's to knock out those MIG-23's if they come cruising for a bruising. We have requested the Russians respect a No-Fly zone over all of Abkhazia, and it sounds like they agreed. TASKING  https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1uzinj85MzxMM-3jKtWv7_HF51ckrfEL4&usp=sharing TARGET AREA - McRib (The Dam) - Armor Strike Enfield 1 (Arbitrary) Tusk 1 (TBD) TARGET AREA - Big Mac (Zugdidi) - CAS Colt 1 (Sneep) Dodge 1 (Madman Theory) Weasel 1 (Bear) Tusk 2 (Dandywalken) TARGET AREA - Royale (Nabakevi) - Artillery Strike Devil 1 (Jarmak) - Support Big Mac or Fish Sandwich after ROYALE is "Eaten" TARGET AREA - Fish Sandwich (Anaklia) - Beachhead Annihilation Enfield 2 (Bonkers) If your area is cleared and you have ordnance / fuel remaining you will be re-tasked to the nearest hot spot. AO Line Cheddar is about 20 nm from our target areas. I'd like to keep east of that to avoid those SAM's or poking the bear. Arby's is Sukhumi, expect our MIG-23's to Roast Beef into the sky. Georgian Army will be providing human JTAC's, callsign DAGGER and SCYTHE. Kilonum has a new stash at Senaki Tower and will be our ATC. Elendil and I will be splitting Bulldozer, this will be two separate frequencies. To keep it simple we'll have him on 261, and myself on 262. More details on who is on what frequency later. Flight Leads Please comment on tasking and requirements. Yooper fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Given the nature of the Zugdidi front, it may be wise to task the A10s to that central AO. They are much more capable at loitering, while the F18s are better at rapid interdiction flights. Hornets would be of use vs the artillery battery shelling friendly positions in particular.

 We've got some additional intel on the SAM sites. Both are approximately 13 nm from our AO. This is just far enough that if no one strays across that line then we'll be OK, but given tasking and the SA required, I'm thinking we whack them. Our F-16's have proven capable of dealing with SA-3's in a previous mission (by running them out of ammo...) and can loiter so if these pair illuminate a target they can whack it. So Weasel flight, please plan for this in addition to supporting BIG MAC. Ideally you will smuck down that SA-3 before Devil flight goes in on that artillery.

Welcome DCS Newbies. Remember you can try ANY DCS Module for 2 weeks for completely free! The two weeks apply to each module separately, meaning you can try one module for 2 weeks, another for 2 weeks, then a third for two weeks, etc. The timer resets in 6 months, so you can try the same module again!

To: Commander, Hävittäjälentolaivue 11, Ilmavoimat It was nice seeing that you are still my commander and not yet dead. Excellent work, Commander! I write with good news. My referral for a sleep study has been accepted, and I will be evaluated tomorrow! Maybe they can codify what my wife calls “obnoxious sleep hygiene” as a medically accepted condition. This of course means I am unavailable to fly a sortie. Please pass my regrets to the rest of the team. Georgi sent me a message saying that our frequent relocations are profitable. Haha! OPSEC is hard, I guess. Also, I have another appointment to evaluate my ankle; I may have sprained it on a new “pothole” on the normal runway run route. I saw Yeoman Che smile during today’s mission, which was maybe a good sign. Maybe he has fully recovered and no longer requires any treatment or received good news of the Tomcats’ sorties. I also heard that Sami’s sister (Emma?) is getting quite the following back home. I told my wife to ignore her and not to share any mission details about us bombing bridges and sewage centers. Self-serving people like Emma(?) must be kept in check. Ystävällisin terveisin - Med vänlig hälsning - Kind regards, Kapteeni Christian Heikkinen Taistelulentäjä Hävittäjälentolaivue 11, Ilmavoimat

Almost nightly there are people flying and learning together. If you wanted to learn the SU-25T just pop into Discord and we can walk you through the absolute basics. There are a few people who are really talented pilots, but there's a lot who are just happy getting into the air and killing a tank or two and then dying in a MANPAD fire. You'd be hard pressed to find a chiller group of folks to fly with.

Just adding to what Yooper said, the Su-25 is very easy to learn how to fly, you really don't need to know any of the smaller details you may not already have awareness of like trim or how to work the autopilot. Watch some YouTube tutorials for what keybinds you will need, have a PDF cheat sheet of your Joystick binds and/or keyboard hotkeys to keep on your phone or another monitor, and you really only need an evening to jump on the server and get a feel for it, ask questions of the other goons on Discord (the Su-25 has its own channel under #all-other-planes), and you'll probably be good to go.

A-10 GROUPS: The coordination and execution of this operation falls on the shoulders of the joint A-10CII and A-10A groups. The heli's dont have the munitions capacity to inflict the damage we can on the enemy positions, and the A-10C is a fantastic JTAC platform to coordinate and mark targets for other aircraft. The Hornets and Vipers arent fit for loitering either, so its time to do what we do best: fly slowly, for a long time. Preliminary intel reports suggests that the area East of the river should be light on IR AA SAM's, but there is an unusual concentration of vehicle traffic in the NW quadrant of the city near a formerly open area. Multiple vehicles are parked, seemingly either in report or awaiting munitions and orders to take part in the fighting in the city, or are just lazy. Primary force composition is wheeled APC and light tracked vehicles, with sporadic T-72 presence. Enemy AA threats in the immediate area of Zugdidi are mostly expected to be optically guided 23mm AA, as well as Zsu-23/4 Shilka batteries. We cant get the exact locations of the latter, but the Zu23's are expected to be featured heaviest around the multiple roadblocks that Abkhazian forces have erected on the North, East, and West sides of the city to prevent infiltration or retreat of currently engaged Georgian infantry elements. Is is thus noted that the small creek that runs Southwest to Northeast is more or less the border for our troops and theirs. While there is little doubt the enemy will have some forces on "our side" of the river, they are expected to be of relatively light composition and are best dispatched by our heliborne friends. Hence, we will focus our efforts on the entirety of the detected staging area, and then assist with the outposts and enemy entrenched positions in the city. Due to the discrepancy in targeting capabilities between the A-10A and A-10C, it is recommended that the latter maintain as high an altitude as possible (once SAM threats across the river are no longer an issue), and use PGM's to strike positions which are giving our forces trouble. JDAM's will work, but it is advised that the A-10C's use a mix of smoke rockets, GBU-12's, and Mavericks for this operation. Keep in mind that the Mavericks require both a warm-up period as well as a decent stand-off range when used from 16,000 feet or above, so dont waste shots just because the TGP says they are 3 miles out: thats almost straight down! The A-10A's are recommended to operate at lower altitudes, but still within comfortable parameters. AA is a threat here, so do not feel that you need to immediately run into the enemy forces; it is entirely beneficial to assist the helicopter forces with destroying the perimeter outposts. By the time all of them have been taken out, you would be wise to coordinate with the helicopters to begin the task of sweeping the city. A-10C's will, upon destroying the majority of forces at the staging area, assist the helo and A-10A forces with targeting data and guidance. Smoke rockets should be carried in number to help the A-10A's especially, once the enemy AA is no longer deemed a substantial threat. Takeoff and rearming are expected to be done at Senaki with exact radio stations and coordinated takeoff direction mentioned in a future intel brief. To summarize recommended loadouts: FUEL LEVEL: 60% A-10C: 4x AGM-65D, 6xGBU-12, 3x7 FFAR WP rockets, TGP, 2x AIM-9 A-10A: 6x AGM-65D, 4xAIM-9, AS MANY Mk82's AS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH I TRUST YOU, FOLLOW YOUR HEART! LASER CODES WILL BE COORDINATED WITH JTAC/AFAC Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Feb 3, 2022 |

Pontiac 1 After Action Report - Day 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE7yAqwhn54 2x F-15C from Tbilisi. Pontiac 1-1: ninjahedgehog aka wrathcough Pontiac 1-2: HerpicleOmicron5 What we were supposed to do: Escort C-17 flight HEAVY 1 from rendezvous point MOM''S HOUSE to destination DAD'S HOUSE, then assume backup BARCAP and protect strike flights from Red air. What we did: Took off from Tblisi and began flight to Mom's House. First engagement- Pontiac 1 flight was ordered to prosecute a two-ship element of MiG-25 Foxbats on an intercept course to Heavy 1. Each Pontiac aircraft dropped its wing tanks and fired a single AMRAAM, both of which impacted the trailing Foxbat. https://i.imgur.com/R0Oh9Uy.mp4 Pontiac 1-2 noticed that the Foxbat flight had turned defensive, and Pontiac 1-1 ordered the flight to re-engage. Both Eagles fired a second AMRAAM, which splashed the second Foxbat. Although the tacview shows that Pontiac 1-1 got the killshot for both MiGs, Capt. Hedgehog notes that this feat would not be possible without the help of 1Lt. Omicron, and has decided to award both pilots a single MiG-25 kill each on the official record. https://i.imgur.com/jhiRHt2.mp4 Second engagement- Pontiac 1 flight rendezvoused with Heavy 1 flight, taking over for the Turkish F-4 escorts. However, Pontiac 1-1 noticed a an aerial explosion, with two C-17s dropping off radar. Pontiac 1-1 reported the detonation to AWACS Wind Maker but the source was unknown -- the Pontiac pilots considered an errant detonation from the Mavericks carried onboard, one of the Turkish Phantoms turning traitor, or perhaps a rogue Russian SAM taking a potshot at the Heavy 1 flight. However, Tacview reveals that Heavy 1-4 steered his aircraft directly into Heavy 1-2, destroying both planes in midair. NATO scuba divers are stil searching for the black boxes of both aircraft to determine the cause of this fatal error. https://i.imgur.com/RHF0Z1R.mp4 Third engagement- After entering the NATO SAM network and handing off Heavy 1 flight to ATC, Pontiac 1 flight assumed a racetrack south of the no-fly and began a BARCAP over the strike flights. This BARCAP proved largely uneventful, with the exception of a SA error that resulted in Pontiac 1-2 almost shooting down a friendly A-10. Pontiac 1-2 had acquired a Sidewinder tone on what he thought was a Russian Su-25 but held his fire, a fortunate decision that narrowly avoided a fratricide. https://i.imgur.com/R9nVjrc.mp4 RTB- Pontiac 1 flight attempted a formation landing, but this went poorly. Pontiac 1-2 overshot the flight lead and ran off the runway, severaly damaging his F-15C but avoiding personal harm. The crew chief did not agree with his assessment of "any landing you can walk away from, eh?" https://i.imgur.com/yHDWcr3.mp4 Tbilisi command has ordered the grounding of all F-15C flights until the cause of the accident can be determined. Capt. Hedgehog has been tempararily reassigned to Weasel flight for the upcoming operation, and has been ordered to cease posting "Virgin Viper, Chad Eagle" memes in the ready room. 1Lt. Omicron, meanwhile, has been reassigned to assist the ground crew in repairing his damaged Eagle.  Pictured: 1Lt. Herpicle Omicron, Oregon ANG, practicing his maintenance skills after his morning matcha latte (Tbilisi Intl Airport, 2008) What we did well: Pontiac 1 flight continued to display exemplary BVR combat skills, splashing two MiG-25s with zero losses and minimal ordnance waste. What could have been done better: Situational awareness -- beyond Pontiac 1-2's near blue-on-blue, Pontiac 1-1 had difficulty finding a Russian Su-27 Flanker that had crossed the no-fly even when it was within 10 miles off his nose. His excuse of "It's the year of our Lord 2008, where's my goddamn JHMCS and datalink ED" has been disregarded. Claimed aerial victories: 2x MiG-25 Foxbat Total campaign victories: ninjahedgehog: 1x MiG-29, 1x Su-24, 1x Su-25, 1x MiG-25 HerpicleOmicron5: 1x Su-24, 1x MiG-25 Alchenar: 1x MiG-29 ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Feb 3, 2022 |

 I will be one of the Georgian JTACs for this operation. I, as the JTAC callsign "DAGGER" will be at objective area Bic Mac. I will be in a vehicle, so sometimes it might take a moment to move from one position to another. I will be using laser designators, and colored smoke throwers to designate targets for rockets, missiles, gun runs, and bombs. Another JTAC will be callsign "SCYTHE". He will be at Objective Fish Sandwich, and will be similar to me. Dagger: 31.000 FM 264.000 mhz UHF Scythe: 32.000 FM 265.000 mhz UHF Both of us will be discussing with Bulldozer on 262.000mhz in terms of coordination. Procedure: When you are approaching our objective area, tune into our frequency, and check in the number of your planes, and the ordnance you are carrying. You will then perform attack runs on request, or freely if situation calls for it. Try to not orbit the objective directly while waiting, but stage a few miles back.

A Communique From the NATO Bureau of Logistics and Armaments, General Josef Marxer of the Newly Established Liechtenstein Air Force presiding Greetings pilots! I have run our Flight Assessment Program to generate cost reports for our operation. We have managed to dislodge the Russians from Kutaisi airbase over the course of what I am pleased to announce is our cheapest operation yet! Special callouts to wonkotron for being the most destructive, and to wrathcough for being the most cost effective pilot. Special mention goes to the JEDI flights for their work in destroying ammo dumps. Unfortunately, the intelligence officer that was supposed to get the price of the ammunition stores was unable to get that data in time, so it is not reflected in the report. Additionally, there was some Russian interference with the tactical datalink I rely on for these reports ever since I cancelled the NordVPN subscription, so there is some degree of error in this report. code:

  “Enfield 1”, Georgian Air Force, Georgia Mixed Aviation Squadron Su-25T, x4 ------- currently 2/4 slots available, please join, it is free and fun Role: Strike  "Tusk 1" The other Georgia National Guard perhaps A-10A, 4x ------- currently 2/4 slots available, please join, it is Role: Also Strike  Recommended Loadouts Su-25T: Vikhrs, Mercury LLTV, other laser missiles, no external tanks, extra flares A-10A: AGM-65D x6 (3x2), AIM-9 x4, some bombs or rockets maybe (1000lbs and 2000lbs bombs might be easier to score kills with, but risk splashing your plane), [/b]~60% internal fuel[/b] [b]No cluster munitions. (Are SFWs even clusters?) Order of operations: 1/ Confirm your loadout, including fuel and flare count. Senaki is a short runway. We don't want to lose anyone to a few extra Khabizgina 2/ Rally at the marked Ingress Point 3/ Target a SAM, Shilka, MANPAD, AAA; confirm a wingman is watching for SAMs 4/ Fire near the next river 5/ Break away before the river after that; scan for helicopters 6/ Watch for SAMs for your wingman 7/ Reset; Repeat until no obvious threats 8/ Target tanks (not APCs); feel free to try for 2 kills each run; still watch for missiles and helicopters and such 9/ Do not crest the dam ever. There are SA-19 hiding on the other side. A-10As, you can reserve a maverick to help guide you in for other attacks. Target as per usual, but fight the urge to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrifle. Once you can discern the target outside the cockpit window, switch to your rocket/bomb/gun and follow your CCIP. Sounds like we are cleared to rearm if necessary. We can carry a lot of ordnance, so it might not be necessary.
