Eddie Rickenbacker Fighting the Flying Circus Campaign

[Captain Kurt]

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

Description: Captain Eddie V. Rickenbacker was the most successful American fighter ace of World War I, with 26 aerial victories. In the Rickenbacker Campaign, you will fly 24 Captain Rickenbacker's combat missions with the USAS 94th Aero Squadron, against Germany in the skies over Europe. Although America's involvement in the war was much shorter than the French and English, the American aviators still made a fighting reputation for themselves.

The campaign is designed to complement / integrate with the Aerocrate WWI theater.

I don't have CFS2, but just wanted to share a memory. In 1969, I was 16 yrs old, and was at a grand opening of a bank that my dad was a manager for. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacher was at the opening, autographing copies of his autobiography. I still have my copy on my bookshelf..... NC

Thanks very much Kurt - well done - I've been looking forward to these missions.

Unfortunately I got an error unzipping the file and consequently the auto-install is not working. I downloaded the package a second time but still had the same problem. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers,
Kevin

Captain Kurt,

I look forward to flying this as soon as my capstone class is done for my graduate degree. I love the quality of your campaigns, especially with regard to airbases, skins, and your flight models. I'm sure this is equal to your other works. I have to turn in my action research project by May 6th, so as soon as that's done, I'll be done with my graduate program.

Really looking forward to flying this and getting back into CFS2 for a while!

No idea. Which mission, or is it when you choose the campaign or first mission or what?

Problem is if you check Aircraft Names, they must be edited to match names in the missions. A simple edit will solve problem.

Kevin,

I think you hit the nail on the head. With using Install Creator, it's easy to overlook (lord knows I've done it many times) that you need to at least have a dummy text file in all empty folders in order for them to stay intact. If the folders are empty, the installer program will delete them.

[Captain Kurt]

Yep, that nailed it

When the installer runs, it drops the balloon panel folders because they didn't contain a file in them.

For those who have already downloaded the campaign, just put the attached folder in both of the balloon folders.


panel.zip

I'll have the download fixed shortly.

In other words, it was'nt something wrong in the state of Denmark (Shakespare).
