F-4E Phantom II - Covey 41 | Close Air Support over Paradise Lost | DCS |

This mission is built on the story of the Paradise Lost UH-1H Huey Campaign, which you can find at the ED store.
1969. The Philippines started a hostile invasion in Southeast Asia, and occupied the southern half of Guam. The US is waging a fearsome war against the FC, Filippino Communist troops in the hot and humid jungle. The soldiers call the island: Paradise Lost.

Briefing:
Mac, Jester, Zimmy and Keller, you're up next. Over the past few days we've had a lot of activity in the South, and our troops have been in contact with Charlie many times. Your Phantoms will be loaded with Mk82s. Proceed on station over Guam, and Cricket will assign a target to you. Your callsign is Satan 1.
If any MIGs show up, remember the rules of engagement: You need a positive VID before you can fire. The skies around Guam are full of Navy jets, and we don't want any blue on blue incidents.
Should you get hit, try to make it over the water on either side of the island before ejecting. The Navy will fish you out in no time, but if you land in the jungle, you may very well spend the night at the Manila Hilton.
Alright, good luck, off you go.

Did you have a fix for the cockpit brightness without turning on the global illumination?
