Stuka, I'm on my way!
Da FAC?
First preview of the mission is now available -->HERE<--
Some info:
Targets
In this version, with the exception of Gotham City (62-x), all targets in the 60's ranges are available.
Range 63B and 64C also have a conventional range with strafe pits and bomb circles.
There is currently some terrain clipping happening on sloped terrain with some of the range objects. We are aware of this, but they are fully usable.
Target 63-10 is for A-10's only and the only range where CM may be used. (and nothing else but CM)
Included in the download, is a short pdf with a target overview.
Be aware that the target description says what the target is emulating.
eg., When it says that the target is an artillery battery, you might see there a bunch of M113's and trucks.
Navigation points
With the exception of the category "Tac Points" in the GE overlay, every other point is available in the CDU of the A-10C.
They are also visible in the editor, and you can use them to set up flights as you see fit.
JTAC
On FAC locations FAC S, FAC VIV, FAC C3, FAC JILL and FAC HILL,
there are a couple of Humvees that can be used to take a JTAC role and help your buddies out with target spotting/marking.
Coalitions
Red: USAF Aggressors & insurgents
Blue: Everything else.
Clients
On Nellis, every non-WW2 aircraft is available as client. (4 each)
Feel free to adjust for your own needs.

Hi!
I just wanted to drop in and say big thanks for the hard work!
Together with the approach plates this really is what makes the Nevada map interesting!
Cheers!

This afternoon I merged Eddie's ELCAL routing with most of the VFR Departure and Recovery routes. I've tried to put the routes in as accurately as possible, using NAFBI 11-250 and corrected for ~12° difference between magnetic North and true North in Google Earth. The routes are pink to contrast with the already large amount of lines, polygons, and labels. The seasoned ones among us might know all the exact routes by heart but I find it helps me in planning more complex flights.
If you find any errors please report in here or via PM.
Edit - The FYTTR Low out of RWY 21L/R was incorrect. It's updated in the attachment.
Just a quick question on Google Earth and the network link.
Does anyone know if there is a NATO APP-6A symbol pack that you can download to use as GE plackmarks?
Inspired by your use of GE and the great work by Stuka, I'm considering using GE as a briefing tool. I envisage using a GE network link to update force positions etc that reflect a DCS mission. Could allow for a BMS style briefing and mission planning evolution which would be pretty neat.
Cheers,
Da FAC?
You can use any image as an icon in GE.
You can either use the APP-6A font pack to create your own images, or find some pre-mades on the internet for that usage.

An updated version of the mission is now available. Download still here: https://www.476vfightergroup.com/dow...do=file&id=403
In this version, most of the targets in the 70's ranges (R4807) are present.
Also, all targets in the Leach Lake area (Green Flag) are added.
To be able to use this mission, it is required to have the newest version of the 476 range targets installed. (https://www.476vfightergroup.com/sho...-Range-Targets)
The new targets include Armored groups, convoys, terrorist camps, insurgent villages, dummy airfields,... and plenty more.
Here are some screenshots for an impression on what to find all over the map:
