I was setting up a mission in CFS3 for a friend near Rouen, France..
I desided I liked this so much, I finished a set for ETO 1.40 also..

You have a choice of American, German-fighters daylight and a US Bomber mission.
With a German TOW (Beacon) Mission also..
( Thanks to 0-1 Driver and the Tow package built by Him, with the ETO Team)

Have this finished for any Hobbit Hole Gang folks, interested in testing this....
All the pretty lights and effects included..
 
Owen, You have out done yourself with the TOW mission:ETO BOE Rouen Bf 110G Patrol! :ernae:

For those who just want to add the missing lines for TOW to their effects.xml here they are:

Make a copy of your effects file before making any changes and you should check if any of the lines are already there in order to avoid duplicates.
 
Thank you For this..
BRAVO!!
The effects included is the latest from O1 Driver, but I realize many have Custom and advanced Effects files in their set ups
And this Information is welcomed I am very sure..
Thanks..
:salute: :salute: :salute:
 
I will edit the missions package and add the effects lines from The Tow package by O1Driver,
Picked out by GOSD to the effects read me for all..

For those who have a modified effects files already in thier ETO 1.40 set up..
BRAVO!!

Have edited the package to include this and re-uploaded it to SOH
 
Wow, have n't got it going yet, but all above looks super. Thanks, all.
