Changelog:

v1.2.4 - (August 17, 2013) Fixed reported logic error with Blackhawk activation - they no longer spawn if any UH-1H are present in the mission

v1.2.3 - (July 31, 2013) Fixed verification team spawn causing DCS crash to desktop due to v1.2.5 release slowing down group spawns

Fixed Pontiac flight only checking to see if Chevy 1-1 was present before deciding to proceed with their own rescue mission or not

Fixed Ford flight 'further tasking' groups (groups spawned during asset verification) so they no longer spawn unless their respective P-51 exists

Removed AAA spawns from the entrances to the valley if only UH-1H players are flying, makes the mission great for Huey pick-up practice runs

Changed a few spawn locations at Beslan for client aircraft

v1.2.2 - (May 27, 2013) Fixed radio message triggers for A-10C (Hawg) Group

Made slight adjustments to 'reinforcement groups'

Adjusted detection zone around asset to (hopefully) eliminate very rare occurrence of rescue team not beginning the verification process

v1.2.1 - (May 19, 2013) Modified a few enemy group waypoints to stop them from getting stuck while navigating

v1.2 - (May 18, 2013) Added Pig Flight, 4x A-10C departing from Mozdok

Fixed "6DOF" / HUD scaling bug FOR Flaming Cliffs 3 aircraft (reported by IASGATG)

Repaired several bug fixes that did not save properly to v1.1

Repaired several modifications that did not save properly to v1.1

Updated dynamic verification spawning

Fixed mission victory conditions

Modified enemy CAP engagement conditions

Added friendly CAP flights over Beslan, Mozdok and Nalchik that only engage enemy units entering their airspace (North of Gizel)

Added enemy CAP flights to the south of the Russia/Georgia border. Don't stray into enemy airspace (or do, if you're looking for a fight)!

for a fight)! Added Radio Message to Coalition so any friendly plane group can clear Pontiac Flight in to extract

Changed activation behavior of UH-60 Blackhawks (Pontiac Flight).

If at least one UH-1H exists and is alive, UH-60 group does not activate.

If all UH-1H deactivate (users killed, get dropped, switch planes, etc) UH-60 group activates as long as their normal activation time has passed.

v1.1 - (May 16, 2013) The UH-1H has been included as a flyable aircraft and, if there anyone is flying one of these slots, replaces the Blackhawks as the extraction team.

Fly in to pick up the asset, drop off a verification team then take to the skies again to watch for enemy reinforcements!

When they're done verifying the asset's identity, they'll call you back in for dust-off.

Fly in to pick up the asset, drop off a verification team then take to the skies again to watch for enemy reinforcements! When they're done verifying the asset's identity, they'll call you back in for dust-off. Re-recorded all dialog and used slightly different effects to hopefully make the dialog more understandable.

Added several "eye candy" events and static aircraft to make the mission feel more realistic.

Situation:

For several years now the Russians have had an asset, code name "Rabid Bear", deep undercover in the Insurgent ranks.

Recently he has obtained documents and cartography that pinpoint several high value insurgent targets. Late last night the

asset escaped the insurgent controlled city of Coban and made his way East of the city to a bridge and is using it as cover

while he waits for extraction.



This morning, satellite photos showed a significant increase in enemy activity. They must have realized what happened.

Several groups of enemy units are set up as search parties no doubt trying to find, and most likely eliminate, Rabid Bear

before we can extract him from the area. Success of this mission will give us the intelligence we need to put a huge dent in

regional terrorism and therefore this is a joint allied forces mission.







Mission Briefing:

Two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters (Pontiac) are standing by to depart Beslan at 0830 and make their way towards the bridge

east of Coban. They will take up a hover position just outside the valley and wait for an all-clear signal from friendly aircraft

before proceeding in for extraction.



If UH-1H (Chevy) pilots wish to take their place, we’ll ground the Blackhawks and let you boys extract the asset instead.

Chevy has a different flight plan than the Blackhawks, so pay attention to your section of this briefing.



Non-extraction aircraft are to ensure valley entrances are clear of enemy AAA, SAM and other units prior to clearing rescue

teams in to extract the asset. Aircraft are advised to return to Beslan for refueling and rearming prior to clearing helicopters

in for extraction. Stick to your flight plan: it has been designed to maximize chances for mission success.







-------

EXTRACTION SORTIE

-------



* UH-1H (Chevy) *

Take off from Beslan and fly east following the railway until you hit the river that runs through Chermen then follow it south

until it forks at Tarskoye. Follow the right fork then turn west when you hit the mountains and continue towards Terk. Hold

short at Terk until you've been given the all clear to enter the valley and extract the asset by friendly forces, then egress

north following the river near the asset. Maintain a Northern heading when you reach the city of Gizel and you'll return to

Beslan - hopefully with the asset unharmed. Consider arming your birds in case anything unexpected pops up en route.







-------

OVERWATCH SORTIES

-------



* SU-25T (Springfield) *

Equip your aircraft for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) and eliminate any radar SAM emplacements to the north

of the mountains then continue along your waypoints to line up on approach into the extraction zone. Destroy any enemy

anti-air presence at the valley entrances as well as around Coban.



* Ka-50 (Uzi) *

Follow your waypoints to fly an approach to the eastern entrance of the extraction zone then move in and engage enemy

units in and around the valley entrances to make sure we have cleared the way for Pontiac. Maintain visual contact on the

rescue helicopters during the extraction and provide them with close air support while they are verifying the asset’s identity.



* A-10C (Hawg, Pig) / A-10A (Boar) *

We have received reports of insurgent tank columns protected by Shilka AAA vehicles operating in the area. You are to fly

CAS and make sure any enemy armor in the area is eliminated. Maintain a close watch on the areas around the extraction

zone during the asset pick-up and keep our guys safe.



* F-15C (Dodge) / Su-27 (Klondike) *

* Su-33 (October) / MiG-29 (Talon) *

It is highly likely the insurgents will scramble several enemy fighters to engage our rescue aircraft. Your mission is to

maintain air superiority north of the Georgian border and engage any enemy fighters that threaten our extraction mission.

Be careful not to stray south into Georgia… enemy patrols in Georgian airspace are currently very heavy.



* P-51D (Ford) *

As retired Russian air force pilots and current P-51D enthusiasts we thank you for offering your personal planes and skills

to this mission. Several supply trucks have been reported by locals heading towards Coban from the city of Arhonskaya,

located just to the Southwest of Beslan airport. Your mission is to locate and destroy this convoy before it can deliver

additional troops or supplies to the insurgents in Coban. After the supply convoy has been neutralized, you are free to engage

targets of opportunity in and around Coban. Proceed with caution as your older aircraft will not hold up well to modern anti-air

weapons.

Misc Info:

Started designing this mission when myself and a friend had A-10C and we had 4-5 other friends with just DCS:W and Su-25T

(free, friends not sure of wanting to invest in this game) but not many quality missions to play together.



This endeavor began as a mission for just those two planes, then a spring module sale later we had 3 A-10C pilots, 2 P-51D

pilots, 2 Ka-50 pilots and several of us now own FC3. I decided to expand the scope of the mission and try for a comprehensive

DCS: World experience as a way to let people fly what they like, enjoy the game and not have to worry about owning the "right"

modules to be able to play together.



GREAT mission to introduce pilots of the free Su-25T module to larger scope missions that don't *need* to be too "seriousface"

(although you can play it serious if you want to). Plenty for all aircraft to do and take part in while remaining a singular goal

oriented mission (all flights operate in the same area towards the same common objective).



Tips: Read the in-game situation, briefing and take a look at the included images.



Rescue helicopters hit a holding point and wait for clearance to proceed into a hostile area and retrieve a friendly unit. Take this

time to refuel and rearm your aircraft at a nearby airfield as enemy reinforcements may show up during the extraction...











----------



This mission was designed to use all of the available modules within DCS: World. It can be flown alone or with a group as

enemy units spawn based on how many players are on the map. It is meant to be a fun mission for friends to fly together

and for seasoned DCS pilots to be able to introduce new players - who may only be willing to fly the free Su-25T until they

see whether they like the game - to a mission that has a larger scope than a simple training mission or target range.



I also wanted to try and avoid the pressure that comes with someone playing their first "serious face" mission.



Enemy units are visible on the world map (hit F-10). Friendly/enemy labels are also enabled.

You can toggle them on and off with LShift + F-10.



Lastly - I want you to have fun! Hopefully you can fly the aircraft you most enjoy flying (or learn how to pilot something you're

not too comfortable with) and enjoy yourself while doing so without feeling pressured to be an expert at DCS: World.
