I've just post a new mission for ETO V1.40 or higher, it should be available within several hours.

Now, gentlemen, who is the best recon pilot here?
Jump in the 109G-8 and post here your missions reports and pictures from the camera view you have taken!

First of all, thanks to Bob 'rbp71854' who has made the mission template and gave me permission to use it. He has done 99% of the boring job and without him, this mission would never have been the same and so immersive.

-> The following downloads are required (links are provided in the readme):
- ETO V1.4 or higher

- Bf109G-8 by ndicki
Use the "bomb aimer's position" key to get the camera view and take pictures of the invasion for the High Command

Overview:
2./NAGr 13, Cuers, august 15th 1944. Alarm, ALARM!! Allies have initiated an amphibious and airborne assault in southern France, HQ requires informations immediately to prepare a counterattack. Confusion is complete, report where the major landings operations are and try to determine where is the airborne assult by spotting gliders on ground. This is a high priority mission.

Intelligence:
Airborne assults have been reported near Sainte Baume and Le Muy. Check both areas as we don't know where is the main assault and where is the diversion. Once it's done, you will fly over the coast from Cannes to Toulon, report where are the landings. 4 FW190's will provide escort. Only two 109G-8's are available for recon missions so don't be shot down! Allied air superiority is total as JGr 200, the only Jagdwaffe unit in the area, has less than 10 109's available. Bombers of Kg26 and III./Kg100 will not operate at daylight, they will strike enemy forces tonight. Expect some bad wheather with low clouds and fog.

I haven't even got to 1.30... And I'm not likely to either - my "real" computer has had it...
 
The pilot got more pictures------ but he was shot down -----grabbed the film went in the drink---- swam to shore---- made it back to HQ----- but the salt water ruined the film-------- all but this shot----- HQ was not happy with this and sent him to get more shots. The pilot after this was not happy ether------------ got in his plane took off and was never seen again until after the war was over.
