Rams,
If you remember the Tuskegee Airmen first campaign were carrier take offs.
KM-P40F I believe, full WEP and only applied one flap at the conning tower.

Hey guys,
In addition to a couple of auto-installer campaigns and the revised Oldenburg airbase, you may notice today that some old downloads are new again. I have included some updates for the Bari and La Spezia packages for Tobob, with now include seaplane takeoff points and airbase.dat entries by kdriver.
I will also update my Mission Builder layout package as well as the ETO and MTO support packages, as well as the ETO ports package, to include some new factories and other creations over the past couple of years. I will try to include as many objects as I can (similar to Oldenburg) to cut down your workload.

Stuart and others,
Shuffling through my files, I found additional layouts for an aircraft factory at Bristol, Woolston, and a combined wooded rail and rail yard layout. I also took the opportunity to divide the actual buildings from the vehicles and anti-aircraft guns, if I have used that layout in a mission. Such files will have the name of the original layout, with the addition of an underscore and the letter "a."
The package has been updated for the final time, so I hope you enjoy.

Another one in the books...
Hey guys,
I've been working off and on with this for some time, but I finished another MTO scenery overhaul. This is Algiers. Building this was tricky, because I chose to work without creating a flatten, so placing large buildings in the hills was very tricky, and at times maddening. Nothing is more of an eyesore than "suspended animation" buildings.
We are getting very close to completion with Alexandria, Bone, Bejaia, Frejus-Saint-Raphael, Imperia, Savona, Toulon, Genoa, Porto Maurizio, Safi, Trieste, Tunis, Tripoli, Tobruk, Benghazi, Palermo, Derna, Venice, and Marghera all completed.

Roxanne,
After I finish with Naples tonight, on Thursday and Friday I will be building another GSL harbor for the North African / Mediterranean theatre, this time at Djibouti. Can you please provide as much information between now and then as to what the harbor and city might have looked like during the brief battles there?
Thanks in advance.

This might be a bit ambitious, but let me see what I can do for you...
Here are a bunch of pictures of what Djibouti looked like in the mid-1930s era :
http://www.haju68.comoj.com/P-Anciennes-4.html
I don't know if there were much differences between then and the 1940s era...
I will try to ask some friends if they have more information.
EDIT :
Here is another picture, with the governor's house on top : http://images-02.delcampe-static.net/img_large/auction/000/206/128/741_001.jpg
EDIT 2 :
Here is a video from 1942, in which you can see the harbor of Djibouti :

merci pour les photos de Djibouti en 1934 , j'ai été très heureux de revoir en particulier le viel Hopital colonial ou j'ai travaillé comme médecin ophtalmologiste de 1978 à 1982 , 4 années inoubliables . Lorsque je vois votre interpretation du port de Djibouti en 1940 , il était très certainement beaucoup moins sofistiqué que vous ne le représentez . Probablement aucune grue des quais très simples et quelques boutres arabes . Pour la ville les immeubles en pierres étaient rares a part quelques batiments officiels .Il y avait une batterie avec 2 canons de 240 sur l'ilot du Héron derriere le port et des casernements . Le terrain d'aviation était très sommaire . Je l'avais représenté ainsi :

Dombral,
I can delete the piers and cranes, that's not an issue. I can also tone down some of the big stone buildings and use the small Africa houses instead. However, the reading that I have done indicated that it has a European Colonial look to it, kind of a "French Hong Kong in the Red Sea." Accordingly, I have tried to provide that kind of a look.
Also, I will include the layout files so that you can modify it as you see fit.
Dombral,
Je peux supprimer les quais et grues, ce ne est pas un problème. Je peux aussi atténuer certains des grands bâtiments en pierre et utiliser les petites maisons Afrique à la place. Cependant, la lecture que je ai fait indiqué qu'il a un coloniales européennes se tournent vers elle, une sorte de "Français de Hong Kong dans la mer Rouge." En conséquence, je ai essayé de fournir ce genre de look.
Aussi, je vais inclure les fichiers de mise en page afin que vous pouvez modifier comme bon vous semble.
