Enhanced+ Dong Hoi dawn raids: pairs takeoff, scrambling Migs, A2A-refueling

[update 1.1]

This is the updated version of this upload. I've fixed a bug that I found in the AircraftMission numbering and also corrected the way that I had defined the objective points for each aircraft.

I've included the .ini files for the Mig-17 and Mig-21 statics in this upload and also the original Dong Hoi mission, so everything's in this upload now to save time.

[Raid(2) Extended]

I've added an extra dimension to Raid(2) -- AirToAir Refueling practice. An A310 MRTT tanker rotates out of Da Nang to meet up with your flights once you've completed the bombing raid. The MRTT returns back to Da Nang after completing a couple of tracks. You return to Hue as before.

[Tanker]

I use the A310 MRTT with Gramps' RAAF skin, found at http://www.AvSim.com (search on "MRTT").

Alternatively you could use the KC-135 from YAP. It can use the same waypoint settings I've defined as it has similar flight performance.

[scramble Scramble -- Raid(3)]

I've also thrown in yet another version of this raid -- starting a little earlier to ensure that the AI aircraft have their lights on (especially the tanker). Raid(3) repeats the mission defined in Raid(2) except that there are now two pairs of 'loose' formation F-4Es instead of the F-105s and there's a tanker to rendevous with. However, most importantly I've also put in a couple of Mig-17s scrambling out of Dong Hoi as soon as your flights reach their Initial Point.

You won't catch the enemy sleeping this time. This is a timing issue. If you leave immediately the mission starts and fly straight to the target area, then the Migs will

scramble up to meet you as you start your attack run.

[Ground Targets]

The lead pair of F-4s are tasked with taking out the Dong Hoi EWR and Mig-21 HASs. Your lead takes out the runway. As for you, you get the parked Mig-17s in the arming PITs South of the main ramp.

Waypoints and targetting information are all included, as are the waypoints necessary to meet up with the tanker, so you could again set the autopilot and watch the show.

All the best, regards,
