First off I would like to start off with a salute :salute: to Pat the team for their work on the BoB install package.
This is something I have always wanted to see for CFS3. :jump: Great job! :ernae:
Because of my interest in the BoB I created for my personal use a BoB campaign xml for ETO complete with heavily modified spawn files for the campaign. I have not posted the campaign for ETO because I made modifications to the ETO spawn selector, a few aircraft, and included some ships that are not standard with ETO and was concerned about permissions. I know I have been told to include links and give credit and ask for permissions, but some of what I used has been gained over the years and I have no idea of where I got the files. When I was ready to post a while back there was the threads condemning those who have published files without giving the proper credit, which I agree with, so not wanting to offend I held back from posting the ETO version.
In looking at the new BoB install I can see that all of what I have done can be modified to the BoB install and I would like to do that.
I have already taken the first step of converting the Campaign xmls to the BoB Install. But I have found that the stock spawn files do not work. They crash the game in campaign mode. I copied my BoB ETO spawn files to the BoB install and they will work in campaign mode.
I would like to ask permission of the ETO team and Pat to adapt the ETO Spawn selector to BoB.
I would start out making 3 choices, 1) Random Spawn Disabled, 2) Allied side BoB campaign, and 3) Axis side BoB campaign. For the BoB I do not see a need to have a Stock Spawn Mode so the Spawn disabled would be the default.
Another question. Is there a way to add the FAA and or CC to the list of nationalities in the BoB install?
In the campaign it would be nice to have the choice of also playing as the FAA or Costal Command.
Again I would like to say thanks for the great job that is being done on the BoB Install.
