Anyone interested...

...in flying Buffaloes?

I´ve finished a set of missions (26 with the Buffalo and five with various Allid bombers) covering the defense of Malaya and Singapore.

I only need to make a few minor tweaks to the readme, and then they would be ready to upload..

Cheers,

I didn´t announce that I was working on this because I am quite busy at work, so I had no idea when I would be able to finish these missions.

Maybe it would be a good idea if two or three people test the missions before I finally release them? I´ve flown them several times myself, but maybe I still missed some glitches.

If anyone would like to test them, please send a PM wit an e-mail address.

One thing I just found out: Can someone point out where to find Xavier´s hangar collection? I searched his addons here, but can´t find them. I need to provide a link to them in the readme...

Airfields under attack while attempting take-off. Brilliant! Luv the Buffalo, so I'll send you a PM. And thanks for the offer. :)

Skylane,

Excellent work! Looks like I'll be buying SOMEONE a payware aircraft...

By the way, the hangars you can find here...Xavierb has two sections...Xavierb2 and Xabierb. The latter is kind of a "hidden room" in the download archive.

Hi Rami,
thanks for the link! Seems I didn´t look in the right place!

...and I just noticed I can´t find another file: "af_arty_shell"... Any ideas?

[Rami]

Skylane,

I'm not sure, but I can give you a push. The "af_" designation means that it's Midway-related, so look under Pen32Win to find what you're looking for.

[skylane]

I tried, but it is not there..
I think I downloaded the file from Netwings, long ago...
Guess I´ll try to contact Pen32win via PM.

[oldwheat]

I can send it to you if you PM your Email address.

[skylane]

Thanks for the offer, Oldwheat, but I have the file.
I need to provide a link to it in the readme file for those missions.

[oldwheat]

Well, a tweaked version of it is available @ the 'Aerocrate' site in the campaign downloads section under 'other aircraft'. I'm pretty sure that Pen would sanction an upload if you asked (unless it is buried in one of his packages already.) I believe that it originally was included in the 'AF Midway' campaign @ Netwings.

[skylane]

I´m not sure. I believe I got it as a separate package from Netwings. I sent a PM to Pen32Win yesterday asking for permission to include it in my upload but have no reply yet.

[skylane]

...Update...

The missions are currently being tested. As soon as this is complete, and I have adressed any issues that might come up, I will upload them.

I still have no reply from Pen32Win regarding the arty_shell package. Since there is nothing in the readme explicitly forbidding this, I think about including it in the package, with proper credit.
Would this be acceptable?

[oldwheat]

I don't think that 'Pen' would mind but it wouldn't be hard to come up with a new renamed version. The.mdl file is only a pixel or two. The whole deal could probably be fabricated in 15 minutes or so.

Is this what you are talking about?

It is available in the utility portion of CFS2 dowloads at the Simviation web site. Hope this helps Wahoo.

[Jagdflieger]

Thanks for finding it Wahoo. Solves another problem.

[skylane]

That´s what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for the link, Wahoo!

Btw, I will be off-line over the weekend. Expect to return on Monday or Tuesday.

See you then!

Hello!

Can someone help me find these files:

raf_figures and spitpak1

These are for the pilot figures for the Vildebeest.


Thanks!

Hope this helps. Looking forward to flying these missions! Wahoo.

[skylane]

Thanks again, Wahoo! That´s what I was looking for.

Testing of the missions is still in progress, it may still take a while before they are ready for releasing.
I´ll keep you informed.
