It can be safely said that's not going to happen. A great pity.

**sixstrings5859** · May 12th, 2016, 03:13

Terrible news. Would of loved more work with MAW. Sorry to hear it's dead.

There is the scenery update for MAW done by one of our Masters, (Stary).. [link below]
And there are many missions and aircraft available here at SOH and other sits online for MAW

hairyspin, what about tweaks/improvements/addons to the existing setup? Do you think there would be any objections to me uploading a package which would allow the Allies to start a campaign in Sicily in August 1943, and work their way up Italy?

**popsaka** · May 14th, 2016, 04:09

Hey!... Of course you can!

(I'm sure you'll have Ed's blessing

Cheers, Ed, wherever you are!)

**hairyspin** · May 14th, 2016, 05:52

No problem at all!

To elaborate: there was a scheme to finish some work on the MAW theatre some years ago but for various reasons it was abandoned. Italy therefore has no lakes and other water features. The source files are lost, so although mission add-ons and such are possible and welcome, the MAW project is what it is.

It's still a masterpiece of an add-on by the best CFS3 developers of the time including the late Ed Wilson. BTW, I'm not one of the Desert Rats!

was hoping for the d stuka to be released for it. jaycees version is good but was hoping for the supposed MAW version.

**popsaka** · May 14th, 2016, 17:39

Pray for bits and pieces...

I always find myself jumping
on anything with that MTO/MAW desert motif...

**FOO FIGHTER** · May 14th, 2016, 21:56

Does this also imply that ETO and Rising Sun will no longer have updates?

**hairyspin** · May 14th, 2016, 23:30

ETO and Rising Sun can certainly still be worked on!

I gave the source files for the Stuka to Ted (Nachtpiloten) IIRC, don't know what happened to her. Might be worth asking him!

Most glad to hear that.

Luca, your MAW Ju 87D needs a pit modelled for it, otherwise main model and textures are all there, but pits are hard work, and this will need two, so getting someone to do it justice won't be easy

Seems like forever since we worked on this model, doesn't it?

**gecko** · May 15th, 2016, 20:03

Ooh, that would be nice...

Luca, was it you that mentioned the possibility of a Z.1007 for CFS3 some time back?

**SixGhost** · May 15th, 2016, 23:04

It is like forever, John! It really is!

Gecko, yes it was me, but after inspecting the files I intended to convert I found them to be in need of serious rework and expressed my concern in this very forum. Needless to say the original author didn't like it and I abandoned the idea when my competence was questioned. I may not have a big name, but I felt I had standards (and a nasty character

).

**popsaka** · May 16th, 2016, 04:23

Cheers Luca... People should know better than to screw around with young magicians!

Question for all: What would finishing the BR20's cockpit involve? (activating gauges, etc.)

**SixGhost** · May 16th, 2016, 04:57

Source files Popsy! MeK, the author, is still around and posted here not long ago.

**popsaka** · May 16th, 2016, 07:35

Thanx, laddie... One of these days--one of these daze ...me needs ta get off me arse and take a real bite outta Gmax!!!

**Corpse_Grinder** · May 16th, 2016, 07:37

I was a Desert Rat back in the day...but towards the end. I helped develop the missions that were released with it. It's good to see people still getting enjoyment out of MAW and CFS3 as a whole. Still one of my favorite flight sims of all time.

***NachtPiloten*** · May 16th, 2016, 13:07

Have a P47 (converted to a N model), but no on the other....

Yes, you are a character Luca,lol So is John!

Remember when you sent me the beta of the JU 88 Nightfighter? You made me promise not to tell Alx!!

**SixGhost** · May 16th, 2016, 14:37

I sent you more than that Scotty!

Ted, it's now safe to say it was John I sent the files to! You qualify for a copy yourself anyway, just let me know lol

**Bravo/4** · May 16th, 2016, 16:03

Yea I have them, Ted if you are interested I can get them to you?

Four members of MAW team on the same thread, must be a long time since that has happened?
