To follow up on the excellent success of our first day of [Event] Spring Sting: Rounds 1 & 2 plus by community request, let’s plan up…
Day 2: Turn Up the Heat!
Summer is fast approaching, and we're not the only ones waiting for mother nature to bring the temperatures up so we can enjoy the outdoors around the clock. Our dearest enemies the Red Forces are back and this time want our prime real estate, probably for some dastardly beach party. Secure our territory - you don't want to have to keep the kids at home all summer, do you?WHEN:
Once again, to be determined by community input.
WHERE:
Hollo Pointe featuring Erl Sis by @WreckingCrew
OR
Hollo Pointe North featuring Offensive Posture by @Franze
The group will decide in the pre-flight gathering, which mission to challenge first.
WHAT:
We’re going to pretty much do the exact same as last time - work through both missions, destroying all the enemy units and doing so in such an order as not to set off the mission restart triggers. Kills & score will not be tallied by damaged and lost airframes will be. For a mission pre-briefing, see the link at the top of this post to view the previous thread & introduction.
CHANGES:
Comms
Keeping in theme with my snazzy title for this post - we are indeed turning up the heat. Communications will be moving to SRS - the Simple Radio Standalone module for DCS: World. Everyone did very well to communicate last round, and it clogged up the voice comms as we had fighters and attack flights competing for the “airwaves”. SRS will allow us to separate the channels so everyone can keep their hearing & sanity. Need help setting up? Just ask!

Download Location (GitHub): https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone/releases/tag/1.6.1.0
Please note the server is running SRS Version 1.6.1 - the GitHub link is more current in that regard.
Missions
Teamwork is our focus, to that effect the F10 view will be restricted to ALLIES ONLY.
TGP equipped aircraft (Harrier / Hog / F-14 if dual-player) will be our eyes and in demand. Keep yourself light, maneuverable, out of harms way and share info on every contact you find!
Fighters will need to keep the airspace clean, and warn allied flights about danger to compliment AWACs.
I think we’ll make a special copy of Erl Sis to be in the late spring / summer - we’ve all had enough of snow for the season!
Player & Aircraft Registration
No type-rating required, please sign up for your aircraft for both missions in advance so we can try to coordinate flights and strategy with available air power.
