Operation Dragoon (USS Tulagi CV-72) Campaign by Shadow Wolf

The mission building and campaign set up are completed. I have just 5 more missions to test fly. Are there any volunteers among you to test fly the missions individually or the campaign as a whole? If so, PM me with your contact info. :wiggle: :ernaehrung004:
 
Finishing up

I added one more mission to my total, now 25.. If everything goes as I hope, I should be uploading the campaign by next weekend. :running:

I have flight tested all the missions and made what I consider some necessary changes. Now I am waiting for some feedback from a colleague who is flight testing for me, make any changes he recommends and update the campaign .cmg file. I hope to put this into your Trick or Treat bags for Halloween. :applause::applause::applause:
 
Dagnabbit!

Okay, with yous guy assistance I got the video to play correctly... once. It was 26.5mb in size and I reduced it for the sake of the download size and to more closely match the other videos. Now it plays with the embedded audio but no video! :banghead: Even though the video itself plays fine independent of the game.
I will recheck my .cmg settings and try again and again until it works. FYI. The video is only 5.7mb compared to 10-12mb for the other vids in the transit folder. Too small: I will try to save it in a larger size than 5.7 but smaller than 26.5mb and maybe that will make it show again.
 
SW, make sure the videos are saved as either an .MPEG or a .WAV file in your "Videos" folder. If they are saved in a newer format they might not work as CFS2 is from 1998.

Yes sir, I did. Still, I get the embeded in video music, but no picture, either with a large (25mb), medium (13.3mb) or small (5.0mb) video.:banghead:

SW,
I sent you my email in a private message. If you can, send me the video file and I'll test it on my install just to see whether it's the file or not.

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

Description: It is D-Day, 15 August 1944, a few minutes before dawn. USS Tulagi CVE-72 is turning into the wind, about to launch her first strikes in support of "Operation Dragoon", the Allied invasion of southern France. For the next 7 days you, one of her best pilots will fly, sometimes several sorties a day. your missions will vary from strikes on airfields, rail yards and even shipping to Close Air Support of ground forces, Search and Destroy and Combat Air Patrol. You may find yourself in an F6F-5 Hellcat, a TBF Avenger or an F6F-5N Hellcat night fighter. You will see what they AND you can do against the intense German FLAK and Luftwaffe aircraft.

The missions for this campaign, with a few exceptions are fictional but highly represent the sort of missions actually carried out by the Allies here in this theatre. The concept for some of them was based in info, gleaned from missions done by Talon (RIP).

Cheers:

Shadow Wolf 07,

Congratulations on this release! I know you worked hard on this, and thank you for representing an under-appreciated element of the European War! :encouragement:
 
Thank you all and I hope you enjoy. I hurried to publish it by last night, to put this in your Trick or Treat bags for Halloween. :a1310: My next project? Kursk, from the Soviet side. :running:

Well... ETO or MTO?

You are welcome! I built this on Rami's MTO basic setup with JHS south France and Italy. I guess it would work on an ETO back scenery, as long as you added JHS_Italy by Achim.

Thanks for creating this, + highlighting one of the lesser-known amphibious support ops from the MTO...:medals:
