It's up!

http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/1363-the-battle-of-britain-for-cfs3/

Thanks to Jay Kae and Aussiex for hosting!

Requires a stock cfs3 install patched to 3.1a. Instructions and self-installer included.
This is a wip with some features still in the early stages such as the UI screens.
Please read the install and credits notes. :)

This has been brought together as a community project including work by many of the talented folks around here, it's yours to use, mod and add to. Any comments suggestions and contributions very welcome!

September 15th 1940
In rememberence of all those who fought and participated on both sides during the battle.

I have it, installed and flew it. Tally Ho Chaps!

Well done Clive and the team! I like it a lot.

I love what you've done with the UI screens, and what you've done with the menus. I took up a Spit and flew one of Hobbits missions. I got one Jerry before I had to bail out. I'm impressed that you managed to get it out for today.

Hurrah!

Now I'll go and fly it again.
 
Clive can you give us some of the high lights, new bases, planes, buildings, effects, etc

Hi Lewis, The biggest difference is in the photo scenery and UI at the moment, The aircraft included aren't new models but have been put together especially for this with a few tweaks added in. Effects are mainly stock. Airfields and buildings are existing items but again, tweaked to suit.

It's far from finished, we wanted to get something out for today, it being Battle of Britain Day over here.

Future work will focus on the UI and getting the content tailored for the period. Sort of like how OFF started I suppose. There's a few new ideas in the pipeline too, like the radio chatter, which will hopefully make it a little different. Top of the want list at present is to get a campaign(s) sorted.
 
Thanks for this new addition. Installed and works fine.

One question though. I used Method A to install, e.i., I created an entirely new copy of the "vanilla" CFS3 install, then ran BoB. I cannot locate any CFS3 BoB files in either the App Data or Documents folders. Should there be?

I'm at work at the mo so can't check, but I thought that the multi-install tool was included and referenced in the readme...or have I forgotten to stick it in?

Nice pics Jeff!
 
Pat, Can't wait to load this.:jump:
Have you posted this on the other forums or The NewsHawks?

There are PC pilots that fly all the M$ sims that do not always look at this forum.

Thank You,

It is. And I used it as instructed. But the files don't exist.
