Solomon Islands mega-action by Talon!

Lovely!

I like the SDB missions. It's nice to fly a precision bomb strike for a change, and I've always loved the Slow But Deadly.
 
I've flown many of Talon's missions/campaigns and think he is a Master builder.His Pearl missions are outstanding.He gives us History Lessons in the Pacific.
 
Talon the Historian

Talon's work is so intricate and detailed you live the mission. I vaguely remeber a documentary program on TV waayyy back when called "You Are There!". That's the way Talon's missions are... you are there.
 
Totally agree

Yep, can only agree. Talons missions are historically masterpieces. I am still trying to get through his last effort (being killed several times already). Yet, WW1 missions and campaigns are indeed missed, så if you can get away from dreaming on your sailtour, please think of all us WW-1 fans. Do enjoy your trip, you really deserve it - and I envoi you. Please send us Pictures.

I think he is waiting for me to get the lead out and get the scenery finished. I've only been working on it for four years.

.I have no interest in doing WW1 missions. Those pics are over 10 years old.

WW1 is your baby and not mine.

I do fly WW1 but not in CFS2.CFS3/OFF is what I fly.It was made especially for WW1 with great scenery and better planes for that time period.
 
I've been AWOL for well over a month now. I've been in Alaska, Yukon Territory, Wyoming, California and Hawaii and have had zero time to even check in. Back to Hawaii again Monday morning for more work, so no letup yet in sight. :violent-smiley-031: But I wanted to pop in to say thanks Al. At some point I'll get a chance to load the campaigns up and fly them and I'm looking forward to it.

pensar en los novatos

Hola amigo Talon y demas uploaders ,siempre pasa lo mismo .Haceis una campañas,misiones etc con un monton de esfuerzo y de tiempo para que despues de todo solo puedan jugar los de siempre , y dereis ¿por que? muy facil no todos los usuarios somos expertos en cfs2 y su instalacion.
Ya es un problema tener que andar bajando diferentes partes de distintas webs , por lo menos poner los links y explicar su instalacion.Sino todo vuestro trabajo y esfuerzo no lo veran mas que los de siempre y es una verdadera pena .
Un saludo y espero que penseis un poco en los novatos ,muchas gracias.
 
Just in case....

At the risk of being accused of meddling... but in a spirit to facilitate communication... I am accurately translating the Spanish text... so non speakers get the exact message written by our friend Tiopuerco... and it is not misinterpreted by any "thin skinned" folks....

"Hello my friends Talon and other uploaders... it is always the same thing... You create campaigns, missions, etc. spending a lot of time and effort... and at the end of the day, the only folks who can play are the usual people (experts...my edit) You might ask yourselves... Why? It is very simple, not all of us users possess expertise in CFS2 and its installation..
It is enough of a chore to have to download different parts from different web sites... The least that could be done is to show the pertinent links and their installation. Otherwise, all your work and effort will only be seen by the usual folks... the experts... which is a real pity...
A warm greeting in the hope that you think a bit about the "newbies"... Many thanks..."
 
USMC Dauntless Campaign

10 missions starting in August 1942 and ending Becember 1942.You will be flying 7 of the missions.In 3 missions you will be flying either an SBD or an Avneger,all others you will be flying the SBD.


I worked on this Campaign while doing my USMC Aces Camapaign so you will need that also for them to work.Since UT did new textures for USMC SBDs it inspired me to use them and finish the camapign ( I had only 1 mission left to do ).The missions are Historical.

If you want this campaign post in this thread and I will contact you and send it to you.

I would like a copy of this Campaign, Thank you.

I am in awe

I am always in awe of the details and specifics of these campaigns that Talon, Rami, et. al. create. The research that has to go into these to get those little details correct is impressive. Now throw in the scenery and the different aircraft and you just have to go "Wow". These missions and campaigns should be included as a "history primer" for anybody who wishes to study the Air War in WWII. Thank you for all your efforts that have given us so many hundreds of hours of history lessons and entertainment.

I doubt if I could do 78 missions in 10 years! I am way behind the curve. Just finished installing Talon's complete AVG and LOVE IT! More to go. Hope this one will be available in the library sometime. If not, Talon has published plenty of others that I have in my sights to install.
