Working on AVG Historical missions

Hello HouseHobbit,

I also have been involved with the various versions of CFS since very near the beginning.
CFS was the first Combat simulator that I found that had enough detail in the game for good suspension of disbelief in my opinion. The problem for me was that many of the aircraft available when I started were either very poor in graphics or very poor in flight modelling. I thought I could do better and started first with flight modelling. After a while, I wanted to prove that a good model could be built with the most common tools and haven't stopped yet. Pity you do not fly CFS any more. I think you would enjoy some of the aeroplanes I have built.

Hopefully this is not too far off topic for this thread, but since we are discussing P-40s, I have what I believe to be a couple pretty good one in the CFS1 downloads area. My P-40E was extensively revised recently and will likely be the pattern for a few later versions (as soon as I finish fixing a 0.07 foot Thrust Line discrepancy.

The discussion thread is here:

This is a small discussion about my CW-21B along with a couple screenshots here"

The thread also explains why the CW-21B is in the process of a major rework.

There are quire a few other Pacific Theater aircraft I have built or am currently building but of course they are all for the original Combat Flight Simulator.

- Ivan.

I would really like to see and fly them.

The bad news is I lost my Rising Sun install with a computer crash,I didn't have enough space on my external HD for it. There is good news though.Talon's sister in law Hiede will be in NJ and both of us will be going to NY for the Memorial services for the 9/11 attack on the WTC.Hiede also lost her husband ( bother of Talon ) because of that attack in December 2002 She will be giving me DVD sets of all CFS3 work done by Talon.

HouseHobbit I know all about mission building for CFS3.I did BoB missions years ago for it but were lost in the SOH crashes along with a lot of other peoples work. A lot things were lost from netwings also even though some of it was uploaded here. I've been around flight sims along time.

I was doing missions for other flight sims before the original cfs came out.

I've also flown the whole CFS series and worked with them,flew online with some of the greats in CFS3. Also flew with a few of them in IL-2.

Back to the AVG..
With the Ki-48 Lily available for CFS3 Rising Sun Thanks to Master Corrado these can be made very historical.
Dec 20, 1941 first AVG intercept of Japanese bombers.

The RAF also helped defend Ragoon

**TheBookie** · August 17th, 2015, 18:03

Hurricanes also helped in the defense.

Sorry, Guys/

My pictures are all from the original CFS. They were a response to what I saw as reminiscing.
I don't actually fly CFS3 much any more.

My comments thus far have been more about the real aircraft and are an attempt to present data that might be useful for builds regardless of the simulator involved.

And thanks very much for your posts, Ivan. I am building a Warhawk campaign package for CFS3, and am reading the info on p-40s with great interest.

The AVG escorts RAF Buffaloes to Raheng.The Buffaloes are to attack the airfield while the AVG flies top cover for them.
