Sinai ’88 is a WWX mission for DCS World set in the northern portion of the Sinai Peninsula in an alternative timeline of 1988. It is built with CobraCode and heavily inspired by the WWX Franchise, Tempest’s Blue Flash, and the Through the Inferno missions.

In this alt-universe scenario, Turquoise was discovered to be a prime component of a newly discovered/developed UberTech that cures cancer/generates endless power/creates food & water/whatever works in your head canon and as such, became an instantly priceless commodity. Sinai (and by extension Egypt) were initially overwhelmed with demand for the aquamarine colored stone, business orders, offers of international cooperation, and of course, threats of all kinds. Very much a ‘if a Nation won Powerball’ situation.

As nations and corporations built up the pressure on Egypt to let them into Sinai to get the commodity, Sinai also was under the same pressure, plus the added insecurity of losing their lands and resources to these other entities.They quietly reached out to certain factions and began making their own arrangements for security. In a shocking move in early 1988, Sinai declared independence from Egypt, breaking up a 6,000 year relationship, and burning one hell of a bridge. Egypt let them go peacefully, not wanting a nasty civil war, and thinking that once the Sinai Governorates got a taste of running all this on their own, they’d want back in soon enough.

The rest of the world, perceiving this as an opportunity, decided to go for the gold turquoise. But, not wanting to ruin future business opportunities, and not wanting to kick off a world war, nobody fully invaded. Instead, extensive use of mercenary forces with ‘advisors’ were sent instead. And that is where this mission starts. Pick a side, pick an aircraft, pick a job and jump into the Turquoise Ladder Wars!

(Fun Fact: Turquoise mining is one of the oldest, if not the first, examples of organized mining work in human history. Turquoise Ladder Wars comes from the name the ancient Egyptians called the Peninsula: The Turquoise Ladder.)

Help Me Alpha Test!

This is both my first Complicated mission, and it’s doing a lot of stuff. Fortunately, through the magic of CobraCode! It Just Works(tm) a lot of things are working. But I definitely will need help testing it out, especially on the Helo side of things. I can’t sling load, and landing the Hind for example has so far been a Bridge Too Far for me, so delivering those FARP crates is something I can’t even start to test. Same for CSAR once I get that in, I tend to smash the poor guy under my undercarriage more times than actually getting him on board! I also don’t have the Hercules, so all that Heavy Lifting is un-tested. So give it a shot and let me know your thoughts! You can find me on the WWX Discord. Or, via this website. I think I get mail from it…will check on that. I may or may not setup a discord just for this server, we’ll just have to see how it goes. Thanks for checking out my page and Mission, and as always, that passion and support is what keeps these virtual jets flying!
