This is Mission number 18 in our fictional Operation Burning Sands Campaign where we are bringing the fictional countries of the old Strike Fighters Flight Simulator Series to life within Eagle Dynamics' Digital Combat Simulator World. Members of my community have been craving more story driven missions and more roleplaying in said missions and a fictional campaign with a fictional storyline allows us to breakthrough the harsh geo-political realities of the DCS Syria Map and create a gritty, Tom Clancy like storyline for our two fictional middle eastern nations of the Kingdom of Dhimar and the Empire of Paran. This mission follows the strike on the Shah of Dhimar's palace by the EPAF and IEPAF that can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1WosMyW2Rw Today's episode follows an F/A-18C Hornet pilot on CVA-103 RDNS Suez the former Soviet Carrier Riga, now in the service of the Royal Dhimar Navy and Operating a Mixture of F/A-18C's, F-14B Tomcats and AV-8B Harrier II's in the Red Sea!
