I know that you usually do this, but will there be a listing of required objects, downloads etc, with links, in the "Read-ME". I have found that some updates have some oblique references that leave out some requireds and really cause headaches and a lot of "help me!! messages" here.
Are you underway and "hull down" now?

Fibber,If you have Rami's version you will have most everything.I mostly added some ships for the Ports.

I might wait until the archives library job is done.I usually just put what you need and the link to the site to find it.

We've been in Tahiti for a couple of weeks now and are enjoying it/Will be back in September sometime. I will doing these missions as I have time.Hopefully they will be done in a few weeks.
 
Now I understand..

I thought that you were doing a COMPLETE rework. Now I get it as a revamp of Ramis. I guess that is what happens when I jump into the middle of something and land on "Johnny and the twins".
I will now sit back and go into my envy mode.:icon_lol:

Fibber,

This will be a complete rework of DoA.So far of the 15 missions I have done only 2 are the same.I have been rewriting missions to make them more historical.There will be 18 historical missions in this campaign,14 of them are brand new and not reworks.Now if you had read all I said in this thread I said I was filling in some of the blanks of DoA.

What I meant by saying most of the stuff is in Rami's readme is That I amd using some of the same planes,ships and other objects.

I did discuss what I was doing with Rami and he is all for it,he even mentioned that in this thread.
 
The elevator has finally reached..

Al,

I moved your Port Moresby GSL file to the top of the Rami-do list, expect it tonight.

EDIT: It is uploaded, including a readme with all the trimmings.
 
Updating you on progress,

I have 20 missions done so far and have decided to make this a dynamic campaign,What this means in the Escort missions of the A-24s ( 2 missions ) and B-25s you have 50% chance of flying either the bomber or the P-40.

After April 8,1942 the missions will get harder as the Tinian Kokutai fighter wing was operational at Lae.This was fighter wing of Japanese Aces and the Zeros will be set to Ace.In a few missions you will be up against just Zeros as they attack the airfields and Harbor, It will make life a little more interesting.:icon_lol:
 
I'm most definitely interested too Talon. Looking forward to it as a matter of fact. Thank you for sharing your work

:USA-flag:
 
Another update

24 Missions are done.The last 1 you go against 12 Zeros with 6 Kittyhawks.6 Zeros attack the airfields and Harbor while the other 6 fly top cover.All are set to ACES. I survived getting 5 kilss but lost 3 Kittyhawks.In the actual battle 3 Kittyhawks were lost. It was a fun mission to fly.

I have 4 more missions to go.

I made some missions with no warp to the way point you have to go to after takeoff. You have to reach a certain altittude and it can be tough.
I also made the goals reasonable.

Port Moresby's Looking Good

Took me a while to fix a persistent problem with the AF_PNG_PM scenery texture, but with that accomplished your "Port Moresby GSL" loaded up like a champ. Very Nice.

Good afternoon,

Talon, I'm happy to see that you took the ball and ran with this. And thanks to those who have not remained silent, and offered encouragement and support! :salute:
 
All missions are finished.There are 28 missions and you will fly 25 of them in the dynamic campaign ( in 3 missions there is a 50/50 chance you will fly a bomber )

I did 2 sets of missions,

1 uses the FDG Donationware P-40E

The other uses Lindsay Watts P-40E in your flight and the FDG P-40 for AI and infrastructures.

I just need to get the missions tested and do the readme.
