Description
Desert Shield

This is a single player orientation mission of the Gulf Region during the coalition forces Desert Shield operation in 1991 following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq.

You take on the role of an RAF Tornado pilot (Flying the F/A-26B) who has just been deployed to the region. You will be led on an orientation flight of the region by a fellow Squadron member. There will be an opportunity to visit all the major landmarks, practice your Low level close formation flying, drop some bombs on dummy enemy tanks and as an option try your air to air refuelling skills.

Although you will be armed, for self defence and training purposes, under NO circumstances should you engage Iraq forces, the consequences would be catastrophic!!

This single mission is a prelude to a 4 mission campaign based on the RAF Tornado Squadrons involvement in Desert Storm, which will be released in the future. **UPDATE** I am 70% complete on the new campaign, missions 1 and 2 are complete and tested, mission 3 is well on the way.

If you like the mission why not…….

Delta99 I think the AI bug is fixed. Looks like the orbit radius was too small for his speed possibly? You can either take off in formation or let him take off and join up to get started on the mission properly. I have tested several times and seems to work fine now.

Strange, he would fly pretty decent but did the same odd maneuver in the same spot. Climbed steep with afterburner then rolled and back down. So very difficult to follow. Although couple times around the orbit I was able to predict what he was going to do. But yeah, I understand there is only so much you can do.

I'm struggling with stuff in the editor myself attempting to get some pretty simple stuff going. And then I run into situations where something just doesn't work so I have to delete units or events or something and start from scratch. Pretty annoying.

Unfortunately the AI can do some random and unpredictable things which is not something I can control. There is a fair margin for error in how close you need to fly though. I haven’t had chance to review yet but will do in the next day or so. Flying in formation with your wingman is required for the full mission experience.
