The 229th was part of the 11th Air Assault Division (Test) in the early 1960's and helped test helicopter air mobility tactics. In 1965 they became part of the 1st Cavalry Division when the division was activated. The 229th landed in Vietnam in September 1965, and by November was involved in the first large-scale helicopter air assault action (LZ X-Ray in the Ia Drang Valley).  The 1st Cav Division withdrew from Vietnam in April, 1971. However, a 3rd Brigade (separate) of the 1st Cav was organized at that time and stayed in Vietnam (III Corps) until June, 1972. The 229th served with the 3rd Brigade until its departure.

In Expansion, you are part of an ongoing larger battle to conquer the region. You are free to choose your own aircraft and mission (be it close air support, CSAR, combat patrol or similar). Expansion is similar to, and inspired by, the fabulous "Foothold" series of missions created by Dzsekeb.
The mission starts with BLUE side holding only one airfield: Nalchik. AI will assign tactical objectives as it sees fit. The battle progresses around you in real-time and responds to your actions. Both side's AI Admirals task their units dynamically and according to their tactical needs - so plan your own flights accordingly.
Expansion supports all DCS player-controlled aircraft and comes with the ability to save and continue later.

This is high-realism mission for proficient helicopter pilots who want a flying challenge. Commercial cargo hauling in the Mi8 Hip, UH-1 Huey, and Sa342 Gazelle. Extensive effort put in to create a realistic, dynamic flight environment. Features 6 voice actors and many dynamic voice events that depend on your actions.

Welcome to the UH-1H Cold and Dark checklist startup. This is more of how to perform the startup checklist without the explanation of the buttons and switches.
