I took a very similar one long ago, but the livery of the Buffaloes was not correct. I tried to do it again with the right Marine livery.

The Buffaloes are from Thicko, the Marines livery by Morten and the Midway Landscape by Otis :applause:.

It looks like you are using the Midway 1942 pack.I have done the the attack on Midway Mission with all 108 IJN planes and 25 US fighters.

Nice shots Cowboy. Hard to believe it was some 67 years ago, give or take a few months.

Here's a few shots of Wildcats operating over Midway sometime in the early months of 1942, before the insignia change following the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Here is a pic I have in the background showing the F2A-3 I use as a player aircraft. I changed the 1% airfile out for the AI F2A-3 for the stock F4F airfile inorder to get the AI F2A-3 to land.

With that Midway 42 pack by Otis comes a mission to fight that battle... Nice one.

I flew it this evening. Nailed four Vals while Zeros were slaughtering the other sections, but in the end two Zeros found their way to my tail... I was lucky one of my subs were around :pop4:

It was alongtime ago that I down loaded the Midway 1942 scenery pack. Do you know where it can be down loaded now? I just checked my scenery pack for the mission and don`t have it.I found the after action reports of the pilots that made it back to the base and based the mission I did on those reports.
