USS Essex CV-9 campaign released by Shadow Wolf 07!

Done!

I finished the campaign at last and it loads okay. I only have a few minor adjustments to make to the .cmg file display the in-campaign videos.

I am putting out the call for volunteers to test it. It is 48mb in size, so I will be uploading it to a download site for testing purposes. I am leaving for a class soon, but I should have the final beta version uploaded later tonight. So send me a PM with your email address if you want to test and I will email or PM you the link. :biggrin-new:
 
Volunteers needed...

I've got one volunteer, but would like more. I just made a couple of changes to the readmes but the campaign itself is ready to go. I could test it myself.but would like for a better pilot than me to give it a try. Any takers? :wavey:
 
Mission 1 works fine. I'll be flying an SBD for mission 2...

Note the gun flashes are behind the wings on Cpt Kurt's/Allen's F6F-3 VF-2 Hellcat. Anyone know a remedy? :dizzy:

Greg,

Wonderful screenshots, thanks for all of your hard work!
 
Thank you Rami. I'll try to get some better action shots.

Note: I noticed (or forgot) that on ground attack missions in the Avenger (and probably a dive bomber too) just giving the "Attack" order to your wingmen is not enough. They just follow you and don't attack anything. You have to designate specific targets and send them on in pairs to get them to drop their bombs/rockets. When you do that, Wolfi's boys get down right agressive - I have one wingman with 32 ground and air kills and another with 20 after only 6 missions.

My next mission is a ground attack and cover mission in a Hellcat, with rockets, so I'm out of the bomber business again. I'l be coming back to the carrier with no ammo and gun barrels red hot.
 
Thank you for your encouragement and compliments No Dice! :ernaehrung004: I and my testers are moving right along and I hope to have the campaign ready for upload/publication in a week or so.
 
Highpockets: Thank you sir. I got some feedback from one of my testers that the missions, so far, are good and Stuart277's and Maxstuka's ships look great.

I'm starting the Tarawa fighter sweep next. It should be challenging as there are a lot of enemy fighters, randomly spawned, with varying skill levels. It should get my long neglected flying skills and marksmanship back up to par. :jump:
