    I will be home July 7th.After I get home I will be back to work on The Yorktown and Hornet missions for Midway.It'll be a Yorktown package covering the Early Raids,Coral Sea and Midway.My plan for after that is Enterprise through 1942,43,44 and 45.All separate packages.

    I may throw in the Beaufighters in NG for kdriver.

    I tried to contact you privately but the profile won't let me
    Any VN ships I have and use will released with either a mission pack or campaign I do.This is the deal Talon had with VN (which he was part of ) and I will honor and respect that deal.

    Just sent the missions to few people to see what they think of the rework.

    Cool It all looks good...

    TheBookie:

    I am off to a slow start but I'm going through the missions in MB one by one and though I haven't finished examining and flying mission 1 yet, I have some feedback:

    I swapped out the stock Mahan Class DDs used in your set up for the actual ship types (Gleaves, Sims, Benham, Farragut and Mahan - all by stuart277). I could not find a Porter Class DD, so I left them as Mahans. I also found that the mission would not load the FDG2_SBD-3_Dauntless_CV5_Jun42 until I installed the fdg2_sbd_cfs2 pack, because your CV5 Dauntless is aliased to the SBD-5 in that package

    I know you'll want to keep the downloads list as simple as possible. I just threw in some more historical accuracy suggestions for your consideration with the ship types. You can probably eliminate the need to download and install the fdg2_sbd_cfs2 by aliasing your sbds' sounds to the stock sbd.??

    As soon as I finish my "tailoring," I'll send the missions to you. I will try not to edit any events, triggers or mission briefings. It is your work, and I want it to remain so. Stand by for additional feedback...

    Cheers:

    Shadow Wolf,

    My sounds are not alias to any other planes.I put in the sounds by Lawdog I think.It was years ago so forgot.You can also just put the stock sbd sounds into the sound folder

    You had to change the ships in MB and that can effect the dyn of the mission so you will need to put in the ones I sent you.They are the original ones by Pen32Win,so all the events,triggers and briefings are his work.

    There is a Porter class by Usio,it's here at SOH.

    I did want to keep the d/l to as little as possible.

    I have been away from the disscussion for a while. I have read the Osprey book "Midway 1942" about 4-5 times!
    I never did load Penwin's AF Midway. IF you are going to make this available to us "users" , any number of missions would be to interest to me. The torpedo bombers were basically wiped out but the Dauntlesses got the revenge. Whatever you are doing would be great to share. There was a heck of a lot going on during that battle real time both those in action and those looking for action--
    Thanks for your work and effort.

    I have gone through all the original AF=Midway missions,there 9 from the USN side.Since I have the ones that were on Talon's computer there seems to be 11.Even after downloading the packages again these 2 extra missions are not in them.Seems Pen32Win sent them to Talon but never published them.The 2 of them were close when doing missions and even talked on the phone at times.In other words you'll be getting 2 missions for AF=Midway that never have been published before.

    Found out these missions are in the Japanese part of the mission pack.

    I'm also going to add a few missions not covered by the AF=Midway package.

    I have just finished the IJN side of the AF=Midway missions a total of 15 missions.I'm still working on a few of my own that will cover a few things not done in the original package,

    Hi TheBookie:

    Mission 12 will not load because of a "missing" SBD2_DAUNTLESS_CV6_Jun42 aircraft. The Aircraft 2 folder and the readme give us the FDG2_SBD-3_Dauntless_CV6_Jun42 instead. The mission now loads once the player aircraft and the unit_type.1 name entries on the mission file are hand edited to read: FDG2_SBD-3_Dauntless_CV6_Jun42. Everything else seems fine.

    I have both planes and used SBD2 first and forgot to change after I found the SBD3 textures used at Midway.I will make sure I fix it.

    Apart from the aircraft substitution everything is working fine for me as well - thanks TheBookie.
    Cheers,

    I've changed the Kate to the one made by Thicko and all the F4F-4's and SBD3's to FDG,the Zero and Val will be by Akemi.I found there are less mid air collisions.

    The add on Missions I'm doing will be named for the Carrier they are flown from.They will be missions not cover in the original AF=Midway.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Sounds appetizing. I am enjoying the other missions.

    The AF=Midway missions are done,thanks to Stuart I was able to put in all new Destroyers ( Porter Class out today ).

    My missions are still being worked on.I have found new info on the battle in the last week that shows the IJN Fleet formations and heading during the USN attacks.The Japanese were actually on a heading away from the USN Fleet when the Dauntless attack occurred, this was because of all the other attacks before.Also the USN Fleet had to launch aircraft heading away from from the IJN Fleet so they could head into the wind.

    One other thing,the AF=Midway missions used Hawaiian time and not the actual time at Midway,this mentioned in 1 of the missions,so there is a 2 hour difference.The missions were actually 2 hours earlier than portrayed.

    Been working on the Yorktown search mission to find Hiryu for about 2 weeks now.The search planes took off about 40 minutes before the Vals attacked Yorktown,but I set it up so that while you're between way points the attack begins.As you are flying you get the action reports of the attack,what planes get shot down and so on.The Kates also attacked during the search but I haven't put that part in yet.I also have the search plane fly by the Yorktown TF before it lands on Enterprise.I just think it adds a little extra to the mission.

    Any progress updates?

    I finished the search mission for Hiryu and you get reports of both the Val and Kate attacks on Yorktown.I have 4 other missions I wrote.

    1-Enterprise fighters shoot down a 4 engine float plane.

    2-Enterprise fighters shoot down a recon plane 50 miles from the fleet.

    3-Hornet fighters help defend Yorktown during the Val attack.

    4-Hornet attacks BB's,CA's,1 CL and DD's.This I found reading the Hornet action report.From the Description of the report these were the ships escorting Hiryu when she was attacked.

    I want to do maybe 4 more missions to finish,but I decided to take a little break.It's been a lot of work and need some time off.

    The USN and IJN Fleets are a mix of Stuart,Usio and VN ships.

    Gonna be a Nightmare to do the readme.
