A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Campaigns Add-Ons

Description: This campaign recreates VMF-121’s war time experience as close to the historical record as possible within CFS2 limitations. The 52 missions included are recreations of the actual missions VMF-121 flew.

VMF-121 flew 2 tours in F4F Wildcats at Guadalcanal, a third tour in F4U1 Corsairs at Banika, and a fourth and final tour a Peleliu. They were the highest scoring US Marine Squadron and scored more Wildcat victories than any other unit, Marine or Navy.

My objective was to keep the installation as simple as possible. In other words, to make a self contained, self installing campaign that did not require the player to spend hours and hours finding and installing add-on aircraft, scenery and effects. With the kind permission from many contributors to include their work in the auto-installation exe that was mostly achieved with only a few files that have to still be separately downloaded.

Because of the resulting file size the installation is broken into two parts. This is part 2.

That's odd. I rechecked the auto install and it's there so it should have installed.

Check your ships folder and see if it is missing entirely or if it is partly there.

It's Stuart277's CFS2_USS_Allen_Class_Destroyer and you can download it here at SOH if the file didn't load properly from the auto installer.

Captain Kurt,

I have a question for you...did you double-check to make sure there were "dummy.txt" files in all of the ship folders prior to using Clickteam? If not, I'd be willing to bet that the panel and sound folders were eliminated from the ship by the program, which is why Killer Svend's system is saying it can't find it.

And today's star prize goes to :eagerness:... Rami's got it. I just installed this & took a look through the ship folder. Attached is a list of affected ships & a zip with an "empty" panel & sound folder. Just copy these into each of the ships in the list & you'll be good to go.
