I reckon heavier AI versions of every fighter type would be best - including the 110s. First time around with modded CFS3, they were the ones that annoyed me the most, being hard to catch in a...
All pretty impressive stuff, for a sim that's getting on for 20 years old!
Flippin' marvellous!!!!
The skin comes with the Dornier 17Z that's included in the BoB mod '(Alpha 01', home site is here: https://cfs3bob.wixsite.com/cfs3-bob ). Not sure if/where it's available outside of the mod, but if...
These things are a matter of taste!
I think the urban textures in the BoB mod are actually quite good, much better than those the ETO mod - they look just like terraced housing, which is probably...
Gosh, that looks a lot better than I remembered it! Apart from CFS's excellent rural terrain textures (the urban ones looked a bit US), I always preferred EAW. But this looks quite decent, the awful...

Can't view here, comes up as 'video unavailable - this video is private'.
Spectactular stuff! Love the idea of recreating big days and/or famous raids from the Battle, like the historical missions included in BoB2!
Will be great to have this improved campaign for the BoB mod. I finished a short RAF campaign in the BoB mod (fireballed on landing after wrecking my engine through over-use of emergency power - or...
I don't recall having any diffs getting away Daiwilletti, and that was with a full bombload. Although I may have held her on the brakes while throttling up. The steep climb-out may indicate a...
And just to prove my claim of bombing accuracy...

I look a bit downcast at the overall result, don't I? Never mind - I thoroughly...
The Channel crossing is happily uneventful and we're soon letting down over la belle France. Our grass airfield is not far inland.

I keep the dive fairly gentle as the CFS3 AI tend to be slow to respond to climbs or dives by the formation leader.

Time for some final sight-seeing before we leave? There's St Paul's Cathedral to the right of my tail. Off the lowered wing-tip is Buckingham Palace I think. By the river near the engine nacelle is...
I feel the tension mounting. Six miles to target. Target no-where to be seen! The briefing didn't mention what specifically we were to attack, so I'm relying on the Tactical Display. With the...
Apart from the spindly MG15s and the equally-undernourished clutching hand of the observer, the VC I don't mind at all, and dynamic shadows bring it to life.
Back over London's southern suburbs,...
About half-way between the coast and the capital, I get a glimpse of another staffel of Dorniers, on the same general course but a few thousand feet lower. Hopefully the flak, if not also the...
As we cross inland, the clouds thin out in one direction and thicken up in others.

As ever, the Tactical Display is a good way of...
As we fly out over the Channel, I decide to warp to get us up (or down) to mission height for the leg in question.

This takes us up to...
Twisting my virtual neck around to the left, I get a good view of the French countryside slipping away behind and below.

By way of a prologue to this mission report, in my teens, I used to seek out a newsagent in the resort during the family's annual seaside holiday, looking for my paperback holiday reading. Those were...
Beautiful! Dogsbody himself would be proud of it!
