Some life in England for sight-seers
 

New mission available: Lympne action with 6 Trains. Fly RAF or Luftwaffe. Kind of a "free flight" with lots of stuff to shoot at.

1. Click "Custom" first, then "Fly". There is no default player flight, you get to choose it!

2. There is wind and turbulence. Light wind is from North. If flying "Red", you can exit hangar and take off right across the airfield without trying to taxi to the end of the runway.

3. Take off from Lympne, find a railway, follow it and see if you can spot a train!

4. There are Axis bombers and fighters at low altitude flying southbound trying to sneak away!

Trainspotting the hard way! Mission files attached. :cool:

Sorry, the trains mission needs more work - it is totally unhistorical. They need to stop at random between stations for no apparent reason, or fail to appear entirely, and be replaced by an alternative bus service without informing the passengers waiting on the platform. Remember, ' making the trains run on time' was an Italian Fascist obsession, and therefore most un-British. Even to this day, we celebrate our glorious victory in WWII by continuing the proud traditions of our anti-Fascist rail transport system. :-P

lol!

Qft! (Based on my year and a half in England in the Early 1990's. What other transport system gives you "late Notes" to take to work!

Hi,

Can you please explain how you add trains and vehicles to the missions,... have had a go with no luck so far! :(

Thanks for sharing, this looks nice - I will try the mission tonight... :D

I did fly the mission, one thing i did see is that trains do not always follow the tracks:

It does not change the game but it is funny!!!:-P:cool:

Nice! How could've you resisted to not shoot the train? :D

Still, it's beyond me how bad the actual BoB map still looks from average-high altitude... :!:

Corrected!!

Haha not really... what I mean is not the terrain when you look just underneath your plane or a few kilometers afar (this is acutally really well done also the low level flight) but the horrible border between low and high-res textures in the mid-far distance. It kills any immersion.
Also not to mention the flat "rivers" and "lakes". Both things Il2 had it's "issues", too.
Oh and the (much to many) copy-pasted "fields" and repetitive grass patterns. Should I go on...? ;)
I think it was a good choice to outsource the Moscow map. Really looking forward to it!

LOL. You confirmed my (in theory) worst tendencies. :twisted:
