FSX Carrier Ops Recon F-18 P-2 Mission

Carrier Ops Recon F-18 P-2. F18 Hornet carrier recon mission using FSX Acceleration default F/A-18 and high definition landable carrier. Off the Coast of Iraq, you will be flying wingman for Viper-1. Your mission is to stay with Viper-1 while he gets recon photos of Basrha Int'l, and Shaibah Airports. Easy flight we hope. It is dusk and there is enemy anti-aircraft positions surrounding the airports. Be on your toes, stay tight with Viper-1, be prepared for anything. FSX Acceleration required. By Ed Olander.

Briefing-

Starting off the deck of the stationary Carrier, listen and wait for instructions to get clearence for Cat3. All the Traffic on the deck will takeoff. Once they have you will be instructed to start your engines. Start your engines and lower you wings. When instructed drive to Cat3, Cat3 will be highlighted with a Green Arrow or look for the Cat with a Flashing White Light. Press Shift-U to Lower the Launch Bar followed by a Shift-I to Raise the Blast Shield. When given Clearence Full Throttle and press Shift + the Space Bar, to Launch the Cat. Once off the carrier, Viper 1 will be coming on your six, get and stay within 0.7 NM of Viper 1 the entire flight or as long as poosible. I'm not a carrier expert just having fun, Enjoy, everything is Fictional.

Hopefully everything is in-tact, just unzip the compressed Folder to a Temp Directory. Place the CarrierOpsReconf18 Directory into your Mission Directory under the Military folder, ie, /Microsoft Flight Simulator X/Missions/Military/, you should have a Directory called CarrierOpsReconf18. Make sure to move the rewards from the Rewards Directory to your FSX/root/Rewards.
