Kelti,

It turned out to be 118 missions.

**Talon** · April 9th, 2014, 15:39

I have been using the KM_P-40E and K for the CATF campaign. They started using the K model late 1942.

Uncle Tgr was kind enough to do some textures for me.Here 2 E model and a K model that he did.

Many thanks for UncleTgr.

The first is the P-40E flown by John Petach- June-July 1942.

Second and third are of Major Harry Pike October 1942

Fourth is a P-40K flown by Robert L Scott

some piccies of the second batch...

***Worthless*** · April 11th, 2014, 06:06

Very interesting rudder art UT. I don't think I've ever seen that one before.

***arfyhun*** · April 11th, 2014, 06:37

Talon, it's a brilliant way to add *punch* to a mission by making a historic one. A great step over the norm.

Putting yourself in the 'office' of an aircraft marked as the original actually makes you feel the mission more, in my book anyway.

Keep up the good work mate.

Regards,

Graham.

***UncleTgt*** · April 11th, 2014, 06:37

Dallas Clinger - when he rotated out of China he took his rudder fabric home with him!

***Worthless*** · April 11th, 2014, 06:42

Just Great UT. I'm adding this picture to my screen saver files. Many thanks!

I try to make my missions as historical as possible.When I can I put in the names of the pilots that flew a particular mission. The first AVG is actually day by day and the resourses I have are from both sides.

The CATF is also done the same way.

In the AVG you will be blying the BR_P-40B most of the time with the KM_P-40 coming in in April - May 1942.

AVG China- You will still be flying the P-40B but more flights in the E model.

CATF.A few missions with the B model but most with the E and K model.

I thinks there will be 7 P-40Es and 4 K models.

Yes they are.There will be a list of which bases in the readme.

**John Pirnie** · April 13th, 2014, 05:33

Does anyone know where I can find the plane Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk IIA, AVG "Panda Bears"
This plane is not listed in the download readme, and besides in the download that Rami generated.
the links are of the old systems.
Thanks, John

John,

The planes for that campaign are by Lindsay Watts and are no longer available.I am in the process of redoing it now.If you look lower in the posts on this page you will see my post about it.

The player flight will have different planes in the flight so it ther are 4 planes in it there will be 4 different planes.
For the P-40e I used the KM P-40E and there wll be several used with differenet textures.

This campaign started Dec 21,1941 and ended May 4,1942.

AVG China.

This is a new campaign that starts May 4,1942 and ends July 3,1942.

In this campaign you will be flying mainly from Paoshan and Kunming.
From May 4 until May 11 you will be protecting the Salween River Gorge and helping the Chinese ground forces.During this time you will be attacking Japanese vehicles in the Valley and intercepting their aircarft.
Starting on May 12 you have to defend Kunming and attack enemy airfields.
In June the IJAAF start attacking from Hanoi.

Basically the same planes will be used in this campaign.
So far I have about half the campaign done.

CATF

This camapign is being redone with new planes and expanded.Doing more research I have found more that can be added.

You will also be flying a P-40k in this campaign along with the P-40b and P-40e.

I figure about 110 missions for the campaigns.

Looking forward to the finish.
JP

**Talon** · April 15th, 2014, 14:01

I now have all the textures from Uncle Tgt and all the missions done. A big Thank You goes to Uncle Tgt.

There are 120 missions now broken up into 3 camapaigns.

AVG - 43 missions

AVG China - 32 missions

CATF - 45 missions.

Everything is being tested now.

Uncle Tgt will upload the new textures when he can.

**Talon** · April 15th, 2014, 19:20

The CBI is number 1 place I enjoy doing missions.I have always wanted to expand it but couldn't find the info I wanted until recently.Well it has been expaned from 71 missions to 120 with all being hand edited so you have a mix of planes in your flight.No other campaign has been as much fun to do.

Now that it is finished I will not be doing anything else for awhile for CFS2.I think maybe" I will start again when someone new builds a Campaign ".That should give a very long break if not permanent.

**Talon** · April 16th, 2014, 14:14

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

Since the P-40 for it is no longer available might as well.

**Talon** · April 16th, 2014, 16:41

I have decided this is the end of the line for me.This Campaign will be my last.There is nothing I really want to work on anymore. Hope you enjoy and Farewell.

**SPman** · April 16th, 2014, 19:30

Go out on a high.

Thanks for all your efforts over the years - much appreciated by us less skilled folk.

Good sailing.

Give it a rest. You earned it. But... Someday, when you get bored, somebody is going to ask you "Hey, what did Task Force 58 do off of Okinawa, how did they stop the kamikazes?", or "who was Lieutenant Robert Hampton “Hammy” Gray, VC, DSC?" Then maybe, just maybe...

Until then, Fair winds and following seas. I thank you for the history lessons.
