These missions start in September 1944 with attacks on Davao and other bases in the Philippines than Formosa which was used as the main resupply base for The Philippines.I haven't even gotten to the invasion part yet.Right now I have 7 missions finished,most are attacks on shipping in the harbors and convoys.There is one intercept mission where you fly a Corsair in a Japanese night attack.There are alot more to do and it takes time to set up a 20 -30 ship Task Group sometimes.I will also be doing Okinawa and attacks on Japan.So I'd say at least 6 months to do them depending on how much time I have to work on them.

I also have another project I'm working on with others that has to be done by late fall so that will be taking up some of my time.But it's not for CFS2.I do work on most of the flight sims.

During the missions you will be flying Helldivers,Avengers,Hellcats and Corsairs.

I was originally going to just update the old Philippine and Okinawa Campaigns but I don't really like to do that.I did update the Nagumo Campaign and converted a CFS1 Battle of Britain Campaign but other than that I'd rather do the research and start from scratch.I do update my own missions and campaigns as new planes and ships come out,even now I am updating my AVG and CATF with some donationware P-40E's with the new skins.I also updated the old DOA with new planes.With the new scenery made since than it should make it even better.

I'm not taking a shot at anyone who updates campaigns because I know some are old and need it so take no offense.I know it can be alot of work when you change things and than get it work right.

I know, it's always fun to do something new. I did that with CAI / Chianti.

When I first started I couldn't download the MR bases so I used the scenery in the original campaign.I now have the MR Philippines and I'm replacing the old bases.

I may also have different DP's for my planes so they will be in the package when done.

Talon, just out of curiosity, is it possible in CFS2 to skip bomb ships?

I know that many allied bombers and fighter-bombers found it very effective against Japanese ships, from what I have read.

Pen32Win came up with away to do it.He modified a 500lb bomb into a torpedo and it works pretty good.Check out the B-25's he uploaded a while back.Some of them if not all have the special bomb included.
