i am going to build a linear campaign based on true 20'th airforce bomb run datas which i will include in the read me folder for you to read as well as tons of pics.I want to do this because FPS has vastly improved and i am sure i can do it with at least 20 fps at its lowest.It wont be boring because you wil take of from Iwo Jima amongst other airfields as well as an escort in P51's, P61's and battle Raidens,ki44's and ki84's over japan.The major industrial cities sceneries will be included for your bomb runs.I am trying to create something different for each mission to avoid senseless and boring repetitions within my capacity of creativity in handling cfs2's can and cannot do.If you all think 'm troubled and that maybe i should go back to Angor Wat for some spiritual healing and later pay more attention to my orchids before setting a new goal in life please say so

I like your goal Dog1 - give those orchids a spritz of water, and some dappled sunlight, and they'll be happy while you send us up in our B-29s!
 
Sounds like a plan dog, not a whole lot of bomber campaigns in the sim so I'll be looking forward to it. :jump:
 
That sounds right-all-right to me too! Short of Jadg's "Defense of Japan", I don't know of any late war missions like it ... bring it on!

the challenges are many due to the limitations we have,maybe the biggest i have so far is that when in the bomber and you are pounced by the enemy there is nothing you can do,you cant switch to gun turret mode or jump from one station to another.the other limitation is during take off you cant have the bomber group all ligned up for take off like it really was and when landing same problem. i am building the japanese industrial cities as sceneries which will look realistic.to enjoy this campaign i will recommend you use a weather programme to get enough clouds in the area.Its not going to be ready for some time since i want to get it right specially landing in damaged mode as per the real missions reports which you can do in cfs2 but i dont think you can have the engines smoking.

Didn't Pen32Win have an operational turret for the SBD in his AF=Midway Project? If so, would it be theoretically possible to at least have a tail gunner position you could jump into for a B-29? You could throw some Ma Deuce and 20 mike-mike at your pursuers - that might make them think better of chasing you! Also, the remotely operated turrets of the B-29 make for some interesting possibilities as far as developing a working turret... (For someone a whole lot smarter than myself)
