You may fly your own payware aircraft but please swap to these first

(Preferably with an Air-to-Air load)

The Tu-95 “Bear”:

One squadron at 27

Two squadron at 9

One squadron will take off first in pairs, followed by Two squadron…

One Squadron is to be at the West coast Patrol Zone (Represented by the Westward Yellow Box) at 19:00

Two Squadron is to be at the East coast Patrol Zone (Represented by the Eastward Yellow Box) at 19:00

You will be dispersed in the patrol zone in the formation or flights your squadron CO wants…And from then on its just keep your eyes open!

I'm in.

In the spirit of the SimV community and the multiplayer server that is currently being way under-utilized, you have my interest.  I am not much on flying the military aircraft anymore, but if I can use my Panavia Tornado, I would be favorably inclined to join you.

Will we be using TS, or is just the multi-player chat window sufficient?

Another thing to consider is air-to-air refueling.  Is there a way we want to simulate this, or no?  I mean, depending on how long we are up, those jets can get pretty thirsty after awhile.  (I accidently ran out of fuel in my Tornado the last time I was flying with it.  )

Anyway, you can tentatively put me down for this little mission.  Let's see what we can do, ne? 

Count me in!

By the way, that F3 link is just a texture, the model is here.

Ah OK. Oh yeha teh perosn with the PANAVIA TORNADO ive got that can you tell me how to do the ai rot air refuel.

Tweek fair point I would just have prefared a more imminant enemy suchas north Korea wait do they have an air force.

When you get into the arena of "more plausible enemy" or "more imminent enemy"  based on contemporary world geoPOLITICS (ahem)...... you start to raise the possibility here of getting some people upset and ending up starting a political discussion and or a flame war.  

And the very word "enemy" is a loaded one, ripe for misunderstanding and problems in this context.  If I were a SimV member from certain countries, I and my countrymen and women might not see County X (fill in the blank) as a current "plausible enemy".  There are SimV member participating here from all over the world.

At least the "Soviet" concept which was used to start this idea at this point plays more into the line of "history".  Maybe it is best to keep this kind of multiplayer "mission" to fantasy or historical.  Let's not start World War III here on SimV.  

best,

I don't know if there is an add-on for actual air-to-air refueling, but I was thinking we could emulate it.  That is, we could have someone on station in a tanker flaying a set pattern, have the jets fly up within a certain distance and hold formation with the tanker until the tanker driver gives the OK, then manually re-fill the fuel tanks and be off.

If we are simulating a scramble in response to an airspace incursion, you better believe we would be using a lot of afterburner and a lot of fuel.  That being the case, those fighters are not going to stay up in the air for very long without some support.  Heck, I would be willing to fly a fuel tanker if we have an add-on somewhere I could download.  Maybe I will look for one today. 

Oh, and about using Panavia Tornados, that would be very, very in form if we are supposed to be British forces doing the intercepting.

I thought the fact that anyone actually wanted to do surveillance on England nowadays was fantasy.

Well, it sure sounds like a scramble.  We are definitely not already on patrol.  Look at the instructions:
