Malta Spitfire campaign expansion released!

[Rami]

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

Description: Welcome to the Malta Spitfire campaign package! This is a fifteen-mission campaign which centers around the experiences of a Spitfire pilot from 249 squadron, based at Ta'Qali during the Spring and Summer of 1942. All of the missions are historically plausible, and are based on events that happened during that time period.

This campaign is a complete overhaul of a much older Groundcrew version, originally created by Cliff Burgess. The scenery has been thoroughly modified & updated to utilize the fantastic Malta scenery by Brunosk, as well as new airfields by Achim27619 in Sicily and Italy, together with a GSL harbor created by me at Licata, Sicily.

All the aircraft included in this package are the most modernized available. Additionally, some of the missions are now very dynamic, and all of the missions feature improved triggers and events, resulting in a much more enjoyable experience. Some missions during this campaign correspond generally with the Operation Pedestal convoy, which passed through the Western Mediterranean from August 11th through August 15th, 1942.

In this first package, you will find all of the aircraft, gauges, sounds, weapons, voice packs, and nationality screens required for this campaign. All of the required aircraft have been included, as well as any historical repaints that would have been used during or near the time that Operation Pedestal worked its way through the Western Mediterranean. Those whose work has been included in this first package include the Alphasim freeware team, Graham, (VB planes) Oldwheat, the Groundcrew team, Bismarck13, Brunosk, Paul Rebuffat, Captain Kurt, Morton, the Donationware team, Lawdog2360, Ajax, Serge Tremblay, Buddha13, RobH, Pierino Primavesi, Aeroplane Heaven, the Sky Unlimited team, Obio, Krystof Malinowski, Kelticheart, Blackbird686, Franz von Baron, Peperez, Mission, and Wolfi.

All of the aircraft in this package have been modified, when necessary, to include the appropriate repaints, when possible, for the aircraft. I've also included modified .dp files for each aircraft which correct information in the [MISC.DATA] section that I found to be in error. To lessen issues with frame rates with many waves of aircraft in the sky, all exhaust effects have been removed, if they were included in the original models.

Additionally, all weapons required for the aircraft have been included.

Happy flying!

For convenience sake, the campaign and mission files retain the "Malta Spitfire" name, but because the order of the missions have been changed, especially in the first half of the campaign, some missions will overwrite and change from the original version uploaded on 6 September, 2015.

Note: Because this is an expansion pack; it requires that you've installed both parts of the Malta Spitfire campaign package first. Some files required for this package are not included in it for brevity's sake, but they are present in the original two packages.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to clear this one off my desk before I began working on Tidal Wave and Juggler. I pretty much had it completed anyway.

[highpockets]

Rami, does this replace the older Malta campaign of a couple of years
ago? Or am I confusing this with someone elses missions.

[Rami]

Highpockets,

Yes, I removed that one. Part I and II replace the original pack with hyperlinked readmes, this expansion basically just includes six additional missions I had lying around that I wanted to get off my desktop.

[highpockets]
