I asked UT to do scenery of the Marianas awhile back from the Japanese side and he did a great job.Finally have time to get some missions done.So far 9 are completed.The first you takeoff in the dark and go after some Betty's that have been shadowing the Fleet during the night,the second is also takeoff in the dark but attack the Japanese CAP over Saipan.

The next missions start the next day attack the airfields,mainly the AA and after the aircraft.You will be flying top cover for the bombers so the can complete their attack runs.There are 7 missions done so far for the second day so far with 1 more to go.The TF will start south of the Island and sail around it.Most of the time you will be sailing away from the Island for launch and recovery because of the wind direction.So that's 10 missions to cover 2 days.

I have other missions done but not tweaked yet,they include you flying a Dauntless in a shipping attack.The attack on Tinian is next with you flying top cover in a Hellcat again and back to Saipan for the invasion.

These missions will be flown from the Enterprise as it's part of the the Big E campaign.There will be at least one mission from Lexington because her Avengers did the first Avenger rocket attack.

There will also be the attack on Truk by Enterprise using the newer scenery by UT.these have been completed.

I'm not sure of the timeline because I have family flying out here.

Is there any interest or should it be stopped?Let me know what you like so far of what has been done.

I am using MR's Marianas for my Essex missions. Is UT's Marianas scenery uploaded? I missed it and I'll have to give it a taste. Going to see if I can find it now! Thanks for the tip.

It was done about 2 tears ago.It has the bases set up from the Japanese side.I asked UT if he would do it but we are just getting around to using it.We use a lot of his scenery for missions and campaigns.It makes a big difference.

There might be other scenery UT did you could use in your campaigns.I know Essex sailed in the same Task Force as Enterprise but different Task Group, but they attacked the same Islands.-Hollandia_UT,Palau_UT,Carolines_JBr_UT which is a newer version,Marshalls_UT,Marcus_Wake_UT_JAN20a- this has the 1941 version and the later version when the USN attacked later in the war.There are more that have some Islands you may need for your campaigns.I think Iwo Jima is in the Marianas.

We use mostly the UT scenery.

Hope this helps.
