Yamamoto missions released by Dasuto247!

[dasuto247]

Just wondering if anyone has done a skin for Allens excellent G4M1 Betty in the markings of the Betty Yamamoto was aboard when shot down in April 1943.Tail number is T1-323 from the 205th kokutai NAU. Also the second Betty tail number T1-326? Searching but sometimes things are hiding.I saw one Yamamoto Betty on here but it was antiquated and proper skins for Allens G4M1 would be perfect to round out my I-Go missions am ready to release(just need the Bettys right for Yamamoto).

Also, I added an entry in the dp as payload for "VIP Passenger(s) and Cargo.Anyone know of cargo/passengers for japanese planes could use? I remember the FDG C47 had droppable cargo. Without it may just have to lead the entry without an actual payload but have it set as the loadout.

Its just a standard green scheme with white squares around the fuselage insignia and a simple "323" on the vertical stabilizer. You can touch up any Betty in your hangar with these minor cosmetics in less than 45 minutes.

How? I have not a clue about painting planes.

Dasuto, you have a PM...

To do your own painting your going to need a program better than MS Paint. GIMP is free and I'm sure some others free ones are around. Go to The Paint Shop_Skinnin' Your Game! part of the fourm http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...nnin-Your-Game!

One of the sticky threads have a list of free and pay paint programs. Next you will need DXTbmp. http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm This is need to save the texture in formats that CFS2 can use. Also having imagetool.exe by MS isn't a bad idea. I don't have a good understaing of imagetool.exe but sometimes I use it to save BMPs that don't look right when saved with dxtbmp.

No one does until they put their hand in it. Its just like learning any other thing, such as mission-building for example: you study, ask a few questions here and there and you do. And the small cosmetic jobs such as this request make excellent labs for a beginner.

True.So where do I get started? I assume I need a certain program? Ah , to further my CFS 2 OCD.

My guess (and it's only a guess) is that due to ever increasing combat losses of fighters, the IJN Koukutais had mixed groups by that time, consisting of all available models grouped together. I would not be suprised to see mixed flights of A6M3 mod 32's and Mod 22's with a few A6M2's thrown in for seasoning.

[dasuto247]

After some more reading decided to go with the Hamp.Also, Uncle was kind enough to whip the skins for Allens G4M1 and A6M3 32 Hamp. I have two versions of USAAF side of the operation, one with waypoints and one requires bit more navigating without the TD, using the map. Two missions flying the IJN side of things, one flying Yamamoto's plane other flying escort. Testing missions now, likely release them first of next week.

I did the P-38G texture as well.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Missions Add-Ons

Description: Five missions (three USAAF and two IJN) involving the shoot down of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on April 18, 1943 by P-38 Lightnings over Bougainville. The 3 American missions include a standard using nav points and tactical display and two others requiring player to use map and waypoint information provided to navigate for more of a challenge.

Two IJN missions are included. One the player flies Yamamoto's G4M1 Betty and another flies a Zero escorting the Betty.

These missions are challenging but fun.

Nice to see a new mission builder posting.

Thanks. Have more coming up.Eventually will get my CVE campaign finished but most of missions became corrupted and just have not had the interest in redoing them lately, so turned to various other missions needed to finish up and release.

Thank you for sharing this mission. The French ace Pierre Clostermann wrote a book about crucial missions of WW2, including this one. Ever since reading it, I have wanted to fly this mission, and now you have made it possible. Thanks a lot.

Hi Dasuto247

That got my curiosity up. How are the missions corrupted? All of them? Happened at the same time? What happened?

Not a problem, that is why I created the missions, always wanted to fly them myself.Let me know how they play out for you.

Dasuto247,

It stinks that you had to scrap all of those missions, but you also did a great job on the Yamamoto ones. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Thanks.Which version of the US mission did you fly? Or all? Just curious how and if people enjoy navigating without the TD like I do. Were results satisfactory? I tested them all various times and of course each time went a little different but usually had a historically accurate conclusion.lol in the IJN mission I did make it through flying Yamamoto's plan since 38's shot down Ugakis but while I was near Ballale a P-38 that apparently followed me but I did not see shot me down while my I was on approach, gear and flaps down lol Fired tail gun at time and made his right engine smoke but was too late for me.

Did test the music player I added? How did your fuel situation play out in the 38?

Hi Dasuto247!
It is nice to see that a new mission builder has joined here! I'll fly the Yamamoto missions one of these days! I like the fact that you also did the Japanese side!

About your corrupted missions: Are other missions in the same install of rhe sim still working, or is the whole install corrupted?

A while ago I also had the problem of missions suddenly not working anymore, with messages about corrupted files. (don't remember exactly what the messages were, this happened several months ago)
It turned out that the problems were caused by too many objects in the Objects_DP folder. I deleted a number of files from this folder, mostly CFS1 objects and stock weapons that I don't use anyhow, and suddenly everything was back to normal.

So if you recently added some new objects, maybe that's the cause?
Just an idea I had reading your post, but maybe..

Cheers,
Wolfgang
