Misson, Sólo quería hacerle saber que no me he olvidado de hacer la parte del eje de pedestal. No puedo decir que voy a trabajar en este proyecto a una velocidad vertiginosa, pero la operación Mezzagosto está en marcha, y estoy usando las misiones pedestal como una base para "dar la vuelta" y convertirlos en misiones Axis-temáticas. La primera es una Vichy reconnoitre francesa del convoy justo después de entrar en el Mediterráneo ... Yo no quiero darte algo demasiado difícil para empezar, ¿sabes? In English... I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about doing the Axis side to Pedestal. I can't say I will work on this project at breakneck speed, but Operation Mezzagosto is underway, and I am using the Pedestal missions as a base to "flip" them and turn them into Axis-themed missions. The first is a Vichy French reconnoitre of the convoy just after it enters the Mediterranean...I didn't want to give you something too difficult to start, you know? "title_string" = Funcionamiento Mezzagosto - Intrus dans la Méditerranée! "summary_string" = Ecoutez, les pilotes français! Un enorme convoy aliado ha entrado en el Mediterráneo, y es nuestra tarea para analizar la composición de este convoy y pasar la información a nuestros amigos alemanes e italiano cerca de Cerdeña y Sicilia. El convoy no está a su alcance por el momento. Las operaciones de combate pueden depender de la inteligencia, así que vamos a conseguir es correcta la primera vez!

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - German Description: Focke-Wulf FW 189 Uhu for CFS2 by: William Dickens Called the "Flying Eye" of the German army, the Fw 189 succeeded on the Eastern Front beyond the most optimistic predictions. Its superb handling and agility made it a very difficult and elusive target for enemy fighters. Its phenomenal toughness was demonstrated by Fw 189s returning to bases safely with one tail shot or torn off by Soviet ramming attacks.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - German Description: Ju290-A7 Seeadler for CFS2 by: William Dickens When the Ju 290 replaced the Fw 200 as the Luftwaffe long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft in the autumn of 1943, the crews were given a far more capable aircraft than the old Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor. But only 65 Ju 290s were built, and the total number of aircraft available was never higher than about 20. Credits: The model is made by William Dickens The dp is by William Dickens

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - Other Description: Vultee Vengeance for CFS2 by: William Dickens The Vultee Vengeance was a dive-bomber designed for the RAF, who at the time were impressed with a need for dive-bombers following the early achievements of the German Stuka. The RAAF followed the lead of the RAF, receiving 342 aircraft from 1942, but cancelling the order for a further 58 aircraft in 1944.This aircraft was built in the USA but served in the combat role with the RAF and Indian Air Force in Burma, with the French air force in North Africa and with the Royal Australian Air Force in the Pacific. Developed primarily in response to British interest, Vultee developed a two-seat dive bomber in 1940 which was to become known as the Vengeance. The British Purchasing Commission placed an initial order for 200 aircraft from Vultee along with a further 200 aircraft to be built under license by Northrop. Additional orders then followed. Few of these aircraft actually reached Britain however with almost the entire order being diverted to the Far East for use by RAF, RAAF or Indian Air Force squadrons. A number of aircraft were also retained by the USAAF. In RAF service, Vengeance were operationally employed to good effect in the Burma theatre. As the war progressed, the RAF transferred some Vengeance aircraft to the Fleet Air Arm for use as target tugs. Additionally, some aircraft were used by the RAF in smoke-laying operations. Credits:

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - German Description: Arado Ar232B-0 for CFS2 by: William Dickens The Ar 232 "Tausendfussler" was designed to replace the venerable Ju 52 transport. However, only about 20 Ar 232s were actually built. The prototype was a twin engine model, but the only production version, the Ar 232B-0, mounted four BMW radials. These aircraft were used irregularly during the war. Credits: Aircraft:
