Midway

[TheBookie]

I've been doing some work on some Midway Missions not covered by Pen32Win AF=Midway.His mission on the US side were mainly for USS Enterprise.Yes he did 1 for the USS Hornet attacking IJN Cruisers and a few for USS Yorktown protecting Yorktown.

I am doing some of the Yorktown attacking the IJN Carriers.Missions will also be done Enterprise and Hornet.

Some pics of the IJN Carriers after being hit.Carriers are VN ships never released

I'm late responding this PM but it's all looking good, mate!

[TheBookie]

Found some info that will make for some interesting missions.

IJN floatplane picked up Enterprise radar.

4 engine floatplane shot down Enterprise CAP.

Yorktown scout planes looking for Japanese,2 missions one of them finds Hiryu.

Enterprise dive bombers attack a light cruiser.

TheBookie,

These do sound like interesting missions, thanks!

As you know some little unknown things can add a great deal to missions and campaigns.

I also found more info on some of the attacks on the IJN Carriers.

When Akagi was ablaze some dive bombers attacked and got 1 or 2 hits and got a hit on a Light Cruiser.

When Yorktown was attacked fighters from Hornet shot down some Vals and Zeroes.

There was also more detail on the Hornets attack the IJN surface ships,there were 2 attacks by Hornet.Some of the dive bombers involved were from Yorktown.

The question is,Should I continue to work on these missions?It seems not much interest in them.Only 2 responses out of over 50 members reading these posts.Might be nice to have of them give some input.

Bookie, I'm always interested in new missions.

I say as long as you enjoy building missions, scenery or aircraft go ahead and do it. If other people enjoy your work, it's a bonus.

I had a fly of FS2020 on a brand new gaming computer hooked up to a 60 inch TV the other night. The graphics were fantastic but I don't think I'll be retiring my CFS2 for a long time yet. I suppose I just like blowing things up.

TheBookie,

I can see this might be useful as a historical retelling of the story of the battle, but rather like the Pearl Harbor Project I struggle to see that such a mission pack could have much in the way of replayability, apart from striving to equal the "stellar" real life outcome (for the US).

and it's going to be thankless playing as a JAP!

You might get some more engagement if you fleshed out some individual mission ideas, & asked for feedback?

Kevin had it right, "... as long as you enjoy building missions, scenery or aircraft go ahead and do it. If other people enjoy your work, it's a bonus."

So, I would love it if you would continue to work on the missions, a revision of the Midway missions would be very great, the one zige missions in this section are those of the AF Midway team , as far as I remember. And they are a bit older now

TheBookie,

It's awesome to see these missions being overhauled. Nice work!

Rami,

I'm just doing extra missions for Midway.

I did update the AF=Midway USN missions with ships and planes not available at that time ( 2002 or 2003 ) but haven't gotten permission to upload them.I haven't done the IJN missions yet but plan to.

@bookie Why that? Do they just not want their missions to be updated, or do they even want to do it themselves (which I don't think)? Is the AF Midway team still active here at all?

Basically I redid them for myself and never really thought about uploading them.I update missions all the time when new and better planes and ships come out.

I also never asked permission to upload.

All the pics I put up in this thread are from missions I wrote.

TheBookie:

The missions referred to are so old that the authors may be hard to reach. You can get by, since they are freeware and uploaded for public use, I would say that you can upload them as freeware too. Just give full credit to the original authors in your readme.

Indeed! With the release of all the new ships and other elements, a re-do of the missions is a must. I'm glad you are taking on the task.

The Bookie,

Thank toy for continuing to work on missions for CFS2! Once I settle in after moving, I will be more than happy to dive back into CFS2 again!

[TheBookie]

I have only 2 or more missions to go,that would make a total of at least 20 missions.

The ones I'm working on.
1-Enterprise intercept of a 4 engine seaplane.

2-Yorktown search for Hiryu.

3-Search for other IJN Fleet ships.

TheBookie

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Sounds appetizing. I am enjoying the other missions.

[TheBookie]

Hornet sent some fighters to help Yorktown defend against Japanese Vals,even with their help Yorktown gets hit.

TheBookie

[TheBookie]

After Hiryu was attacked Hornet sent an attack force of Dauntless's from her own squadron and from Yorktown planes that landed on her late in the day.Wildcats were also sent and they staffed the IJN Destroyers.They landed in the evening.1 BB,1 CA, and 1 CL were hit.
