With the Libyan conflict still raging and the Libyan people suffering as I type this, it is of questionable morality to produce a Libyan war 'Game', and I understand that some people may feel offended by it. If this is the case with you, then stop reading and don't download this awesome YS Flight add-on pack. :-)
More than anthing this game called YS Flight can be a platform for learning about world history, the various aircraft and their history, and even the tactics employed by various sides in a war.
I have made a Libyan battle scenery that loosely resembles the situation in Northern Africa. It features the cities of Benghazi and Tripoli, and a coalition island to the north. Also the carriers USS Kearsarge and Charles De Gaulle are in play, with a full deck of aircraft for better visual effect. There are two ground armies active on the ground: Qaddafi forces and the FLA. A NFZ has been in place and it's up to us as pilots to enforce it. Of course, you can also choose to break the NFZ as a LARAF or FLAF jet.
The nice thing about this map is that the primary targets are not the obvious ones. There are two large tank formations on the way to major tactical areas, and the rebels need your help (if you're on their side). As a NATO plane you are ordered to other targets instead, so it's up to your judgment to pick and choose which way to go. Agree with NATO or not, but the tactical support the NFZ is giving at the moment, is very little and in some cases even counter-effective to the rebel cause (which they claim to support). This scenery lay-out reflects that as well.
As a little extra I have put in a race-course. 6 start positions provide for lots of fun flying through a bunch of gorges with AAA overhead to keep your face in the dirt.
It is my hope that this scenery will become a server favourite, with lots of different aspects of YS Flight to be explored. Carrier operations, Marine Corps close Air Support, NFZ-patrols, defending the island against terrorist attacks, racing other players online, and of course hunting for Q himself (he's out there... find him if you can!).
