Yeah, saw your comments about sounds, i was having thoughts myself about SayToGroup commands to insert speech into missions, possibly 'borrowing' Compan's 32sqn speech- then i realised BoM would be out before i got it done
Sound is something else to add to the mix to try and create some 'atmosphere'.- certainly an area for 'experimentation'.

Next campaign?
no idea atm, a follow up 501 at Kenley gets problematical as most combats were over 20k,
if radio aids were working a KG100 appeals in a sadistic kind of way
'Spitfire on my tail' might work as a story?
sort of wondering what the 'miracle patch' will allow.


...or go totally mad and do "Blackadder V- Blenheim B**** up"

He He! Blackadder v !


If and when I ever get 43 Sqdn 'Glory Is The End' finished I think it will be back to 'reach for the sky' and re-tell the Douglas Bader story...we might have the 109F from BoM as well by then for the 1941 bit...but no Spit Vb..

and then may be Galland's story...

Yes can't wait for the next patch..and when are they going to allow fans to build 3rd party maps and aircraft..thought that was all going to be part of COD?!?!


Got a couple more 501 Sqdn missions under my belt last night... you seem to design missions just as I would..chased those Stukas all the way to France and got pounced on by 109s! ...had to crash dive to 'nought feet' to get away...never had to push the poor Hurri so hard! Those 109s are looking a bit too clean and polished though !!


cheers

Si

Took a try or two to load , but once in it is some fun.
I do have a question or two:
After pranging my kite inlanding at Gravesend on first mission ,I noticed someone had left a pretty little MG TA ( I have owned an MGTC & a MGPA much like this ...)parked over by the hanger( Christopher Plummer perhaps?) I made a try to find the car in the pop-up vehicles list but somehow missed it- do you know what it might be listed as?



2.) What Luftwaffe genius sent all those lovely Stukas unescorted in Mission3...Lovely fat stukas that we chased all the way back to France...

1) Maddox Games TA Sports Car
2) there are some escorting 109's now where they are would be telling

Now about that 'landing'... i think the C/O wants a word

Hi mate

I just did the first mission and thought it was great. The "Oh ****"" moment with the Tiger Moths worked well! Loved the mass taxi and take off too ... added great atmosphere.

I know I am going to enjoy this campaign. Thanks for your work. I may wait for the patch and (hopefully) the planned FPS improvements (as I had quite a few stutters and pauses) before continuing but I cant wait to get stuck in.

Thanks again!

naz- stutters? in first mission?. My rig is fairly similar to yours(1.5Gb 580 tho). There are a couple of bits in later missions that are taxing in the later half of the campaign, as the size of the bomber forces increases. REports on such issues are very welcome- if nothing else i'll know what to avoid with the next one.

Polish Squadron? yeah it would be good and i did consider 303, however as they did become operational later in the battle, which might easily become a stutter fest on anything but 'super' rigs.
You will find references to Polish pilots who were posted to the squadron as replacements in Augustin some of the later briefings.

They weren't in the battle until the last 2 weeks of it. 501 were in France from the start all the way through the BoB too.
