Scramble at Dover

[Murray Cod]

There is an old mission still available here by Corpse Grinder titled 'Scramble at Dover. This was one of my all time favourite missions before ETO came out. I have only just thought about copying it into the ETO install and I'm mighty glad I did. The new flak effects add a whole lot more to the mission as you and your Spitfire and Hurricane buddies try to stop the massive bomber onslaught.

You will need to change some of the planes in the mission to what is in the ETO install (or copy in the relevant planes to your ETO install), but it is well worth it. I just need to figure out why two of the Spitfires crash on takeoff.

if you are still around this forum Justin.......thankyou and I hope you and your family are well.

cheers
Murray

Hi Murraythat was a good mission. Don't see here in d/l section. I do have it in my cfs3. Copied it over to ETO Bob missions what if. Gona run it through MB to see what has to be changed if anything.

Up date::::: I did find it on page 34 Missions

Murray Cod, yes, by all means, change the planes called for in the mission, either in the mission, or bring in new ones.

For the record on planes exploding on takeoff, the new airbases in ETO are much different than the ones in stock CFS3. The planes may be a bit off on starting placement for the mission.

Also, at some of the ETO bases, the player's aircraft may well be starting off in the "Tail End Charlie" (last in the formation on the ground) position with regard to the rest of the flight. I have found that in this situation, when you try to take off quickly, the ones in front of you will do the same thing because of being "crowded", and...BOOM! I treat this as a nice touch. After all, combat wasn't the only thing that caused the loss of planes and pilots. Accidents happen.

You also want to make sure that there isn't anything obstructing the take-off run of the ai planes in your flight.

I hope this helps.:d

Mission works fine for me. My plane a fs_spitmk1_019_qvs aways starts off in the first position, there are 3 more in back of me. I did'nt notice any of em crashing. One thing I had to change was where I put the mission. I first
stuck in Bob what if. Got a mission failed to load blinkie, put it in bob historic and it worked. BTW real nice mission.

Old Tiger, only the Era really matters. BoB is Era 2, so Era 2 is what counts. Historical, whatif, or training don't matter for installation purposes, as the mission's xml doesn't state that option within its text.:d

Grizz gona put it back in whatif again, see what happens.:isadizzy:These dang things never cease to amaze me.:d

Hey Griz put in whatif, now it works. Like I said :isadizzy:These dang things never cease to amaze me.:d

I have a small problem with the Ju_87g2 in QC there is no skin finish and when I fly the plane the game shut,s down.

Thanks for the kind words all. I really appreciate it. It has been quite a spell since I have made any missions for CFS3 and the Scramble at Dover is an oldie for sure.

I would really like to build some for OFF 3 bud sadly the $50 for purchase eludes me.

Dare I say that I now have loads of missions that I have created for my modded install IL-2 1946. IL-2, now thanks to modding, is finally coming into its own and becoming the sim people wanted it to be for years. If you liked what I did for CFS3 using the mediocre MB program given to us by M$, imagine what I have churned out with a really good MB like the one in IL-2.:icon_twi:

All in all....I still build loads of missions, I havent done any for CFS3 in quite some time.

Anyway, Im glad you guys are enjoying something that I thought had gone stale ages ago.

Enjoy guys....and Happy Landings!:ernae:

Justin

Hi there.

Is this the Mission set? "BoB_Black_Summer.zip"

If it is I did the Beta testing for this set of missions with Justin. In one of the early missions, canot remember which one, though it sounds like this one, then two fire engines cross directly in front of the two leading Spits on take off.

They can easily be edited out of the mission, but as a tester and not a mission builder I canot help there. Hope that helps.

Remember that these missions were made way befor the ETO came out so may not be 100% compatible.

Kev.

I wish Old Tiger.....with four kids any expenditure is hard to accomplish. Maybe one day when the kids are grown and college is paid for I can buy it.

As an inceadible gesture, "Grand guy" had offered to get me a copy when OFF 3 was released but sadly we lost Grand guy just before OFF 3 went live. Oh well, I really miss Grand guy and the e-mails that we had back and forth while I was building "his" mission and even afterward. No OFF 3 could ever take the place of such and increadible man with such wonderful stories to tell. I still miss him.

Thanks for the kinds words too OT....It means alot.:ernae:
