A Bastogne mission pack is currently in testing and will be uploaded either today or tomorrow. It contains two missions, one a close air support mission against Panzers and a 2nd mission where you drive one of Pattons tanks in the relief of Bastogne.

New weather is included which features low partialy broken clouds and fog.

Unfortunately when you build a mission in Belgium in December it currently does not give 100% snow coverage on the ground but we hope to have that corrected with the March update if possible.

"Bastogne" is a burnable city and you can see it taking a lot of damage from the German artillery. This same artillery may kill you once in a while as you spawn in the tank and before you can get out of town. If a German 88 artie shell hits you it is all over.:d

Your Sherman tank will move easily around the terrain using the new ETO facilities as long as you keep your speed below 15 mph, if you get to fast you will throw a tread everytime. You can use your Z key to monitor your speed untill you get the hang of it.

I'll be running it thru it's paces in the next hour or so and assuming it is A-OK it will be up sometime later today...
 
Cool. I'll get it unless it's uploaded after I leave for the holidays. Then I'll have to wait till I get back. Thanks.
 
The mission pack is now up, thanks Mid and Douglas.

When driving the tank please keep the following in mind.
1. Do not exceed 15 mph use Z key to verify speed untill you get the hang of it.
2. The damage models for some trees, buildings and vehicles are larger than the visual models themselves, give them a little more room as you pass them to avoid exploding.
3. Before going to F8 and the main gun, shut off your engine. Go back to F-6 to restart your engine.
4. Remember, you can be killed by the artillery explosions so watch yourself. Just don't get spooked and drive too fast.:d

Hope you enjoy the missions,
