- Situation:
It’s time to give the Soviets on Iceland a few headaches! We are going to sneak in low and fast below radar with low level bombers to take out power and airbase infrastructure. We believe most of the air defence systems were destroyed by the Wild Weasels earlier however they may have obtained additional systems so be alert. Additionally, we now know that there are fighters based on Iceland so we will be prepared for that. We are going to time the strike for when most of the fighters are busy escorting a bomber raid. We will be setting a trap of F-4 Phantoms to jump any fighters that may try to interfere with your exfiltration. Timing is critical to avoid the twin tailed fighters (probably Mig 29s) however we have an asset on the ground code named “Beagle” who is keeping HQ apprised of the Soviet activities. This asset will help us ensure we hit the island at the right time.
Mission Briefing:
You are Joker Lead leading a flight of 4 F-111 Aardvarks. You will follow Enfield and Uzi flights which are 2 Aardvarks each. Ensure you stay close to Uzi flight as spacing and timing are critical. Once you hit the coast to angles 10, you will head inland and descend into the valley’s to stay below Soviet radar. Stay behind Uzi 1-2 (the 4th aircraft taking off) and below 1000 AGL. Once you enter the valleys keep about 350kts Indicated Airspeed (IAS)
You have 10 Mk-82Y Chute Retarded bombs which are conducive to lower level attacks. Setup for 5 bombs per target to ensure you get good hits. Pop up as required to get your bombs off but get low and drop flares right after bomb release if you want to make it back home!
Targets:
Joker: Power Station at waypoint 9
Joker: Fuel dump between the two runways at waypoint 12
Uzi: Air Traffic Control Tower
Uzi: Targets of opportunity at the airport (fuel trucks, parked aircraft, mobile radar stations, etc)
Enfield: Airport storage facility to the right of the fuel dump between the runways
Enfield: Large runway (crater it as best as possible)
Hints:
Must stay behind the first 4 F111s until after the airport strike. Your flight of 3 additional F111s should be behind you most of the mission.
Once descended into he valleys setup your Automatic Throttle (ATC) to about 350kts Indicated Airspeed (IAS) to keep proper pace with flight.
Mission Time: 35-40 Mins
These are missions inspired by Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising with audio from the book as part of the missions. These are unpolished and made by a novice but should be functional and enjoyable for any Tom Clancy fan! These were created with DCS 2.8 Openbeta. Hit me up on Discord at Halo#5352 if you like these missions.

As an old Cold Warrior I loved this book! Thanks for giving a voice to this great work! Going forward please don't have the jet engine noise drown out the voice of the narrator. The words are more important than the visual and audio. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
One problem, the Sfx auto is far to loud, overpowering the vocals. Washing out the script, just a little lower in volume.
Other than that and the touch of dead air at a few moments ( their obvious) I'm impressed.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am going to clean up how I edit the videos for better sound and smoother visuals for those who are enjoying the videos outside of just a demonstration of how to fly the DCS mission.
Yup. 15 mins 50 secs in I couldn't hear a word of narration.
Cool reenactment! One bit of advice though - When the narrator is reading dialog, you need to mute the sound of the jets. Afterburner is not conducive to hearing spoken prose.

Funny, I started listening to the audiobook last week and now this. Impressive!
Wonderful!
I really enjoy this, and thank you for doing it. The video game sounds are kind of a detractor.
Thank you for your feedback. I did the latest video this just the book audio. Mission 9: Returns czcams.com/video/lRe8GAT-kWg/video.html
I started this by making playable missions (with the audio as part of the background of the mission) and sharing them on the DCS forum. The first number of videos where supposed to be a walk through to help people fly the mission however most people are more interested in the audio book with the cinematic so I modified the mission a bit to meet this request.
Also check out FIXEDIT or @BobChanel for some great cinematic videos of Red Storm Rising. I hope that between our two channels you can get your fill of my favorite book!
One of my favorite books! I don't play video games, but this was well done. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The whining about excessive noise is worse than the excessive noise. Please people this is Free entertainment. Be grateful for the effort being spent to bring a great book back to life. If you’re been on flight lines or in military aircraft it is noisy. Just got a flashback with some jet noise and alert tones. Jet noise, the sound of Freedom! I say good show and well done.
Just finished the 30 hour audio book.
It’s kinda sad not a movie as Hollywood to in deep over the ryanverse.
2nd time finishing the 31hr audiobook. I might go back and listen to it again.
I wish they'd make RSR into a movie too, but I do think the story as it is is not really suitable to a regular-length movie. The story would have to be modified a lot, or the it would have to made into a 6-8 hour miniseries, like HBO did with Chernobyl.
Love the book and your voice. Much better than a jet flying around.
Didn't quite understand why wasn't the airfield attacked again, while everyone was running around and the fighters were chasing the FB- 111? Especially the radar in the middle of the airfield?
How the hell can I be first comment on this fantastic series after 9 days...wtf?
The last episode had everyone begging for more. Looks like the YT algorithm isn't getting it to everyone's feed :/
You Tube bots...do your duty!!
at 15:47 until 16:20, the aircraft noises drowns the narration. A few times more, also. Just need to adjust the volume between the DCS and the voice.

Avoid those noisy exterior shots, please.

Outstanding👍
Thank you! Cheers!
1 critique the sound effects of the jets when the video isolates them are over powering the voice narration. The narration was unable to be understood. Otherwise I enjoyed it!
Agreed! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I am going to clean up how I edit the videos for better sound and smoother visuals for those who are enjoying the videos outside of just a demonstration of how to fly the DCS mission.
Didn't have the F-111s to fly? Thought they had them ingame. Pretty neat idea and cool video.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. I built the missions in Digital Combat Simulator to be playable by anyone who owned the F/A-18 module (which is one of the most popular modules). I post the mission files to the public so they can play them in DCS.
When someone is flying the mission they hear relevant parts of the audio book. I started posting rough versions of the missions on youtube to help people who were struggling with certain parts of the mission (i.e. how to conduct a HARM attack) so they could copy my actions from the video to be able to complete that mission within the proper parameters.
Recently my video views have blown up with most people watching the youtube missions as part of a more cinematic audiobook. That has been very exciting even if that is not what I started out doing this for. FIXEDIT @BobChanel has been doing a way better job of bringing Red Storm Rising to life in a Cinematic manner but I am glad people are enjoying my videos as well!
Check out his channel as well at FIXEDIT or @BobChanel for some great cinematic videos of Red Storm Rising. I hope that between our two channels you can get your fill of my favorite book!
@@flightsims1349 Great job really. I'll check FIXEDIT out as well although I believe I may have seen his stuff out there previously. WHat kind of restrictions does the base DCS have as far as types of aircraft available? I had just assumed that everything up to present gen were available. Do they have addons with the F-111 and other Cold War aircraft available? This kind of thing is pretty immersive and has a more visceral impact in some ways than watching a movie or animation. If you dig RSR then I'd suggest reading The Third World War 1985 by Gen Sir John Hacket. Similar to RSR but written from a professional soldiers knowledge and understanding of the situation in Europe at the time. Some fantastic air battles because well for obvious reasons. I was just a young private serving his first tour in the FRG at the time, 1st Bde 3rd Armored. The largest combat brigade in the US Army at the time. What a time lol I hope you will continue to make more of these!
I will check out 1985. There is a lot of cold war era a/c in DCS but there a some notable ones missing like the F-111 and Badger bombers. The Su-23 looks similar to the Ardvark but I don't know how to change the aircraft skin to a US one within an exported mission file.
What is an "exported mission file"? Missions are saved as MIZ, you open them and make changes.
Well done
The aviation sounds were sometimes too much and overwhelmed the narrator.

Too much special effect sound cover the dialogue, is annoying .

Great again, but I think the background FX sounds overpower the audio-book at times. See if you can change that mix. Thanks!

Thanks That was fun!
My fav book.
Next time can you turn the volume down on the game?
Please do Arch Light
Why are you letting jet noise override narration?

Why are these last two episodes largely from the view of a Hornets cockpit?
Apparently the narrator does not know the "h" in vehicle is silent.
People have been complaining about the audio levels for at least 3 weeks, you always give the exact same reply, and now you made it even worse by including these loud exterior shots. It's like you just record everything at once without plan and don't even consider mixing afterwards.
A wonderful fantasy but of course Russian logistics could never have supported such an effort nor would it ever have been contemplated…
copy is one. stortytelling is something different.
Turn down the sound effects.
I will do that going forward yes!
Video doesn't match the story very much.
Stop with the DCFS noise. Please
