It's now 90 missions in12 days for a total of 100,I slowed down.I also did the AVG Complete of 120 missions and 3 campaigns in less than a momth.

I took into account of the Holiday and also know things slow down in the summer.But this this happens almost all year.As of now 143 views which 53 are members and only 3 posting.That shows that only 3 have interest in my book.

Hi Talon,
great shots!!congrats. I agree with you about the new generation, personally, i'm attempting to improve my skills in several Cfs2 fields, but, when i upload anything, rarely i can find on the forum comments or suggestions, except for the usual aficionados,
Keep up the great work,
Gius

**gius** · July 5th, 2014, 11:11

for Talon: sorry i didn't had the time to try your AVG campaign, but i'm seberely engaged in finding a job and in Italy we have a bad situation...
However i have teather and scenery installed and, when i'll ready i'll let you know about my impressions,
Sorry,
Gius

Guis,

Nothing to apologize for,the work sitituation is bad everywhere and putting food on the table and keeping a roof over your head is more important.I also know you have shown interest in what I do.

I am glad that I am not the only one that likes the PTO. Once I get thoes Guadalcanal missions up I am going to try out your missions.What people don`t understand is that it takes alot of time to do historic missions. You have to find the info and then within the limits of the sim build thoes missions. You are the only one that I know of that is building PTO missions so don`t stop. As soon as I can get a pc that works i will be right behind you.

Actually Bob I've done everything I wanted to do in the PTO.There is nothing else that really interests me.

Devil Dog is working on an Okinawa Campaign from the British side that sounds interesting.

Years ago it was alot harder to find info on the internet for missions but now you can find just about anything you need.

Nice Pics Talon and great work. You are one of the best mappers/Modders in CFS 2. Great respect for your Campaigns!

I have confessed before that I am a user, but I always try to express appreciation for those who have the talent and time to do ALL the things this sim offers--A/C, skins, missions, campaigns, scenery,etc, etc, I have pointed out to my family and friends when in a mission to look at the detail of all they can see and the accuracy of the parts involved. I have been dealing with radiation treatments for the past two months and "out of Dodge" right now, but I have a whole list of things to get back into soon. I might even try to build a mission myself someday. I have been interested in the A-36 use in Sicily and Italy .
Thanks you guys

highpockets,
My wife went through chemotherapy our first year here in Germany. (Thank you Germany for having OUTSTANDING healthcare.) I understand the fatigue that goes with it. Take care of yourself. Do what is necessary for you to keep a positive attitude toward the treatments, your loved ones, and yourself. Do some hobby stuff as you desire and only push yourself as much as you need for recovery. We all understand and as we age, we all understand even more.
DDog

**highpockets** · July 6th, 2014, 06:59

Thanks guys for your concerns. I am doing just fine. Radiation is not near the debilitatior that chemo can be. I am just taking a break to Oklahoma for some R & R with my wife visiting my sis. I have my CFS devoted XP desktop yearning for my return home.

Well done Talon, thanks for the download. Always happy to have SE Pacific based missions - particularly those crafted by master mission makers.

**Sarg Willy** · July 6th, 2014, 18:29

A tip of the hat , and thanks Talon

**msfossey** · July 6th, 2014, 18:33

Talon,

Thanks for all your hard work and time spent on this. I'm in the middle of building a dedicated ETO for cfs2 but will give it a try soon.

**kwb737** · July 6th, 2014, 20:18

Thank you Talon! Really appreciate it!

**skylane** · July 6th, 2014, 22:54

Hello Talon!
Thank you for these campaigns!

***Worthless*** · July 7th, 2014, 07:08

Great new Pacific action Talon. Looks like you've been a busy man while at sea. Many thanks!

**Wayland** · July 7th, 2014, 08:05

Fabulous! I can't wait to see what you do next.

Don't hold your nreath,I only finished up what I started and commited to last year.There is nothing in the PTO left that interests me.

Maybe someday Bobhegf will finish his Guadalcanal missions without a HD crash.

**Finn** · July 7th, 2014, 09:04

I'll rush to download it - and I hardly finished your bomber campaign before you launch this mega-pack. You write the missions faster than I can fly them.
THANK YOU great one.
Finn

Sorry Bob, but that's funny right there, for those of us who have been around this forum for the past six or seven years. Your computer gremlins just seem to hate Guadalcanal. Apparently they take the nickname "Island of Death" literally.

Hey Al, thanks for the gift. Working two jobs these days doesn't give me much time for the action. It may take forever and a day to get through the entire package

He originally started it not to long after we started PHP2 which was in 2003.

No prblems Bearcat.Like I said in the E-mail " When you get to it".You've always been one of my main supporters.

SPman,

I think you have me confused with Rami. He is the Master and Guru of Mission builders. I'm just a novice compared to him. At least in his mind that is.

Good afternoon,

It's nice to see you again, Mr. Sarcastic. Say, have you seen Talon anywhere?

Why don't you just put a pair of horns on my head and give me a pitchfork, buddy!
