Operation Jericho - Ameins Prison

I downloaded the Mosquito Squadron addon here at sim outhouse because for sometime I have bee wanting to do a Ameins Prison run in a Mosquito....


So I made a few changes and did a recreation..........

Sorry, I didn't know how to do the snow

Used Gryphon Aviation mosquito and some of the infrastructure from Jean-bombers Gibraltar.........see his credits

Here are some screen to compare against military art.

In my attempt, I don't know if any prisoners escaped......lots of flame and smoke. I don't think I even put a dent in xavierb's walls
 
Rockster,

I thank you for any work that you've done to that mission. I still can't believe I actually got permission from Just Flight to release it, I guess they're something to be said for the power of patience and asking first.

By the way, the Royal Canadian Air Force campaign also has this mission. If you click on the link in my signature, you'll find these campaigns have slight improvements and/or modifications.
 
DH Mosquito B.Mk VI

I just notice I use a IV instead of a VI...................for those Mosquito flyers..........sorry..........here is a shot with a six in trail instead of line abreast.......

The Military Art gave me away.........

I didnt want to mess up my textures ........but a snow texture would make the shot.

I just took a few minutes and changed out some buildings..........and got these results...................

but a better building arangement, a road, etc..........would improve it some more.........

But this was a great simulation coming up on and leaveing the target.......with just this little download, prep, and mission builder work.........but I think I got the feel of the attack.

Still, no cigar on tumbling the Walls of Jericho..........maybe xavierb wall are non-destructable or have to change the life points???
 
There is a complete set of seasonal textures out there that includes spring, summer, fall, winter, and hard winter. They will color the ground textures to match the appropriate season. The hard winter textures will give you almost complete snow cover.

They were originally FS2002 textures I believe that someone wrote up CFS2 instructions for. The readme that I have in the file doesn't give an author's name. I doubt you will find them at the Outhouse, but maybe they're still around at Simviation, Flightsim or Avsim. Try searching for "hard winter". They only cover the ground with snow, your buildings will look the same.

You can also add falling snow to your mission by hand editing the weather line in the mission file. Look for the line below:

cloud.0=9,1499.62,2565.81,99.67,7,0,0,1,0.00,3,2

Note the number I've highlited in red. This is normally a 0 (no precip) or a 1 (rain). Change this to a 2 and you'll have snow. The snow is pretty chintzy, just clumpy white things falling instead of raindrops. But, combined with the winter textures it adds a lot to the overall effect of winter missions.
 
One more run...........winter textures "Hard Winter"

Thanks for the "How too" on winter textures.............found them at the Combat Flight Center.

Simple enough..............

But, I just saw how many more things I would like to try..........my head is starting th spin with all the add-ons that have been done......

One more run still shots........this time in winter................looks like a journalist went along for the Ameins Run..........really?

For those stickler's ......yes the trees still have leaves on them......and maybe there is palm tree in there.
 
Actual Gun Camera Footage

Well there is much room for improvment............but I think I have had my run.

I would start by spelling Amiens correctly......A...m...i...e..n...s...

Here are some actual gun camera shots of the approach and departure.......

Looks like you fly up the road/telephone poles to the prision for lineup........

the town really was just along the road........it is the focal point of the raid....needs a road
 
Too much Free Time............Put in a Road

Screenshots to look at...............

I have too much free time...........Road per Gun Camera shots...
 
Other shots ......before I delete

More shote for those following .......before I delete
 
One more time............AI has lead

I had to try it one more time...............with the AI as lead

I just can't get enough of this run.............I think I am sitting in the seat on that day...........this is what is must have been like on that morning.......

Now what do I do with it........it a mixture of all kinds of add ons........

Meshes, buildings........ Just Flight stuff.......my airport 2.6 road......
 
Leaves and palms trees? Now, I don't want to sound like a stickler, but.......

Heh, heh, looks pretty impressivie to me. Nice work, Rockster.:salute:
