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.

I have updated my earlier livery packs representing the 6th and the 15th wings of the Swedish air force with dynamic tail numbers, as well as adding a livery from the 10th wing, thus completing the selection of units which used the AJ/AJS 37. The previous F 15 and F 6 packs each included four aircraft. Now you can have as many as you'd like! The F 10 skin also includes the famous ghost logo from the 101st reconnaissance squadron. Enjoy and please share!

:: OPERATION: Road-Warrior (KOLA) ::

"When they poured across the border,
I was cautioned to surrender-
This I could not do."
- The Partisan, Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie (French Resistance)

You're up against tremendous odds but you have dispersed operations and your own ingenuity to defeat the greater foe.

Defend Finland, Sweden and Norway from Russian attacks from 10 road bases, spread vertically along the border.

Each base has:
>Two slots for AJS-37, MiG-21bis and F/A-18C to launch from. (More to be added soon!)
>Nearby chopper base with every chopper included.
>Full rearming and refueling functionality.
>TACAN, ADF (both MHz and kHz) and TILS navigation.

Version 1.22 - 20240525 - "The Phantom's Menace"

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.

US army UH-1V(H) of the Multi National Force and Observers. Sinai. This one is circa 1985 crewed by 101st airborne out of the South Camp at Sharm el Sheikh. My Brother was crew chief on this one actually and it has some special markings for that deployment.. if one looks closely..

You are a "Battle Angel", a member of Blue's elite Helicopter Combat Rescue Team "Cesar". The battle for control of Mineralnye Vody has turned into a prolonged aerial conflict.

You are tasked with retrieving downed pilots north of 'Cesar Ridge' and return them to a Field Hospital inside the safe zone (marked by red smoke). Expect opposition forces to be around that are searching for pilots, so perhaps bring a friend in a gunship.

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. You will be guided through each step using highlights. At the end of the checklist you are free to go to the target practice cross airfield.
