Official announcement: CFS3 ETO Expansion Revision 1.3 coming very very soon

Wake up everybody! Revision 1.3 is about to be released!

What can you expect?
• New planes which were never before in CFS3. Like the Catalina and the Hurricane in fighter-bomber version
• AI version of bombers, which can be used by missionbuilders to build large missions for bomber command
• Lots of new airfields for bomber command
• More ships with realistic gun settings. It's now possible to attack ships without being shot down before you even come close to your target
• New armament, new incendiary bombs
• Many, many new missions
• And last but not least: a drivable U-boat (MK VII).

By who?
The ETO Expansion team again worked hard the last couple of months to improve our favourite flightsim once more. Some of the best people in the community worked hard to add new planes, new ships, new effects and airbases.

Where?
You can find the downloadlocation on: http://www.ww2aircombat.com./ as soon as it is available. There are some screenies up already.

Why?
Because we want to improve our flightsim experience and recreate the airwar in the ETO!

When?
Soon! After testing the installerpackage. Testing is almost done!
So - very very soon! Keep watching the site www.ww2aircombat.com and this forum!

ETO has been my favorite install. It has the best atmosphere IMHOP, i particularly like the RAF scrambles, not lined up on a runway, but truly scrambling. With that said I am really looking forward to 1.3. Will this be an upgrade/addon to 1.2?

Click to expand...

Yes, it is an update to 1.2
 
Looks fantastic!

Will need the little MG A to drive around and have a look!
 
:kilroy:To all, yes, it is an addition to CFS3 ETO Expansion Rev 1.0 + CFS3 ETO Expansion Cumalative Update Rev 1.20.

You have to have both installed and in place to install CFS3 ETO Expansion Update Rev 1.30.

S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure) still applies: Please read all READMEs before installation. Also before installation of CFS3 ETO Epansion Update Rev 1.30, please remember to start ETO in Era 1 and exit, then set the ETO Spawn Selector to 1, Stock Spawn Mode.

Note: Testing has revealed that you can even install this over the FirePower_USAAF_Heavy_Bombers_2eto pack installation, or vice versa, with no problems. This does NOT refer to an entire FirePower install, however. That previous restriction still applies.

And now, a taste of thing to come, and excerpt from the READNE, "08 README 1.30 aircraft.RTF":

In addition to the above, a number of different changes to some existing ETO aircraft are also included. Including, but not limited to sounds, loadouts, textures, and effects have been made.

Guns & Weapons
Many of the weapons have had their textures revised, in order to fix misaligned textures, missing textures, or low quality textures. Also new weapons have been created and added to the existing selection. Several new weapons not seen in CFS3 before have been added."

We also hope to see more of you building missions. There are many more items for this purpose included.

Enjoy.:d
 
Has anybody else spotted the Vokes filter on the Soviet Gladiator? Shouldn't be there. Russian Gladiators were ex-Lithuanian, delivered direct from Gloster's and captured when the Sovs invaded. They weren't lend-lease, so the logic that applied to 151 Wing's Hurricanes does not apply here.

Just thought you might be interested...
 
and also included, around 150+ new missions!! You'll fly Belgian Gladiators, Costal Command Mossies, Bomber Command Lancaster, ANR 106G, 8th AF Mustangs up to Berlin, Hurricane with rockets against V1 sites.... and many, many more others!!!
