* This package was updated on January 19th, 2019 to include several fixes.
Welcome to the Beaus in the Sand campaign package! This package follows a fictional Beaufighter squadron around & across the Mediterranean theatre during a twenty-nine month campaign. Beginning in Eastern Libya, you follow the general flow of events in the theatre, from defending Malta, Alexandria, and attacking convoys to defending the Tunisian and Algerian ports during the spring of 1943. As operations "Husky" & "Avalanche" are launched, you operate out of Sicily, lending support to their efforts and to interfere with the evacuation of Corsica by Axis forces. As 1944 continues, you end up staging through Sicily again on your way to Corsica, where you both raid Axis shipping & lend support to "Dragoon," the Allied invasion of Southern France, before moving again over to Eastern Italy, where you end the campaign attacking shipping in the northern reaches of the Adriatic Sea.
In this first aircraft package, you’ll find all of the single-engined aircraft, gauges, & weapons required for this campaign. All of the required aircraft have been included, as well as any historical repaints that would have been used during or near the period between early 1942 and late 1944 as the major events in the Mediterranean occurred. Those whose work has been included in this first package include the Alphasim freeware team, Dbolt, Graham, (VB planes) Morton, the Groundcrew team, Brunosk, Martin Wright, Paul Rebuffat, Captain Kurt, Aeroplane Heaven, the Donationware team, UncleTgt, Simonu, Lawdog2360, Misson, Buddha13, Kelticheart, Gary Morrow, Mission, Buddah13, the old IS4G team, Cobrauk, DauntlessDriver546, RobH, Sopwith Chameleon, Sky Unlimited, AER_DaddyO, Watchdog22, Marc Siegel, and Mike Hambly.
All of the aircraft in this package have been modified, when necessary, to include the appropriate repaints, when possible, for the aircraft. I've also included modified .dp files for each aircraft which correct information in the [MISC.DATA] section that I found to be in error. To lessen issues with frame rates with many waves of aircraft in the sky, all exhaust effects have been removed, if they were included in the original models.
Additionally, all weapons required for the aircraft have been included.
Enjoy!
