Marianas

Heide; I am not one to correct you but you wrote in a reply to SW07 that you thought Imo Jima is in the Marianas . Actually it is not. It is a Island by itself. and technically considered part of the Bonin Islands. as per the internet AI. FYI and clarification

Fibber,

I know that.

In that thread I mentioned the scenery UT did so SW07 would know and at the end said Iwo Jima was in the Marianas,meaning in the Marianas pack.The Bonin Islands are in the Marianas package.

Heide; Thanks for the clarification. I thought you were meaning the real world location. Thought it was strange as you traverse the pac. in the real world. Never considered the sim world. Sorry. Mea Cupa,, Mea Cupa.
 
I asked UT to do scenery of the Marianas awhile back from the Japanese side and he did a great job.Finally have time to get some missions done.So far 9 are completed.The first you takeoff in the dark and go after some Betty's that have been shadowing the Fleet during the night,the second is also takeoff in the dark but attack the Japanese CAP over Saipan.

The next missions start the next day attack the airfields,mainly the AA and after the aircraft.You will be flying top cover for the bombers so the can complete their attack runs.There are 7 missions done so far for the second day so far with 1 more to go.The TF will start south of the Island and sail around it.Most of the time you will be sailing away from the Island for launch and recovery because of the wind direction.So that's 10 missions to cover 2 days.

I have other missions done but not tweaked yet,they include you flying a Dauntless in a shipping attack.The attack on Tinian is next with you flying top cover in a Hellcat again and back to Saipan for the invasion.

These missions will be flown from the Enterprise as it's part of the the Big E campaign.There will be at least one mission from Lexington because her Avengers did the first Avenger rocket attack.

There will also be the attack on Truk by Enterprise using the newer scenery by UT.these have been completed.

I'm not sure of the timeline because I have family flying out here.

Is there any interest or should it be stopped?Let me know what you like so far of what has been done.
