1. Operation Kaspi will be flown again with some changes to certain conditions and activities. Use same Brief / Orders as first one.

2. Timing is for 2200h GMT / Zulu time - 10 December 2016 - SATURDAY for North Hemisphere / Sunday for Australia and New Zealand.

3. Xtra will be AMC for the mission.

4. Coy Commanders should consider last effort as a dress rehearsal for this mission.

I wont be able to make it, sorry, as I am away that weekend

Most probably I am in.

I've got some not so great news I'm afraid. I tested the mission this morning to make sure everything was set and in place with the new version of DCS (1.5.5.5992) but there are issues with the triggers.

Thus far, I don't know where the fault lies but it renders the mission to 1/2 a frame per second so it's completely unflyable. I've spent around an hour trying to troubleshoot the issues, but have not been isolate it to anything specific yet, so we'll need to postpone the flight unless there is another mission available.

Edit: I have also tried down grading DCS to the previous version (1.5.5.59744) that was released last week, and that also is a no-go...

Sorry Ed I have updated. I would struggle to attend the mission tomorrow with RL commitments but with everyone so keen maybe a replacement mission can be found to replace it. I reckon Showtimes Defend Kaspi would provide enough slots and is long enough to justify a large turnout. It is also already up on the mission server. If someone could give it a quick test between now and tomorow that might be a good alternative ??

OK, so I've just finished downgrading again (4th time now), and found the most recent version of DCS that the mission runs on with no issues is 1.5.4.57288.

I don't think it's feasible for everybody to downgrade though as it took me over 7 hours to get this version down via the ED torrents. I'm having that many issues with the newer versions and VR, that I'm going to stay on this version for the time being and unfortunately wont be able to participate in tomorrow's sortie. I wish you all a good flight gentlemen!

Ok talked to the wife and child, looks like I will make it. I will try to check out some options for this evenings event before hand and hope we will have something to run.
Check your SRS install and update to 1.2.9.1 before we start please
