Working on AVG Historical missions

[HouseHobbit]

Thanks Major, I had forgotten about uploading this one, OOPPS!
Jon / Dancat, allowed this to be touched up and uploaded some time ago.
I built some missions for it too back then.
More rejoicing!!

At this time I am using the Stock Rising Sun aircraft in the AVG/CBI missions.

Master Corrado has given me permission to incorporate his new Japanese birds into this package.
Once the tests are over and Master Corrado's work is uploaded by him.
I will then release this package, with his new birds as a part of the missions also.

WOW!! this package is going to be somewhat more in-depth then I first planned.
With all the facilities and New Japanese aircraft, I am pleased to say the Historical missions will cover a larger chain of events then when I first built this package.
Up to my furry feets, with all of this and very Grateful for all the support in the effort.,

I Plan to dedicate all of this package to Our Passed Brother in arms Talon. R.I.P.
Back to wrecking things.
Oh Yea!!

To bad you don't fly CFS2, Talon did the AVG complete.It was 120 Historical missions split into 3 campaigns-AVG in Burma,AVG in China and the CATF which the AVG became in July 1942.

He also started missions for Rising Sun but never got to finish them. He put in ports at Rangoon,Canton and Hong Kong. He also added airbases in China and Burma that were attacked.

I got to test some of them.

I used to fly CFS then CFS2 and when CFS3 came out it Greatly surpassed all that came before. I loaded CFS2 again some time back and it didn't take long to realize the Scenery in CFS3 was far in advanced to the previous CFS installs.
But, CFS2 has a wonderful mission builder program, even a novice can build missions with it, that is the one fault to CFS3 I have.. Since MS added the CFS3 Mission Builder, after the release of CFS3 and it is crude and very difficult to use, requires a great deal of practice and skill to use .
I built thousands of missions in CFS and CFS2, which both were far better when it came to CFS3 for the mission builder..
CFS3 is a true challenge to use the mission Builder. it takes 10 times the effort in CFS3 to build a mission compared to CFS or CFS2 I am sorry to say.
And I have learned to place items to the inch, and place aircraft so we can do Catapult launches, and Full Height carrier launches.
Thinking outside the box on that stuff.
I respect those who still enjoy the older CFS installs, they were stepping stones to CFS3, which is a wonderful Combat Flight Sim, and each day the Masters improve this and advance it in wonderful ways.
And to all the Masters (developers, modelers etc. ) I am truly indebted. Without their work, I would not build the missions I am able to do with their wonderful works.
One of the reasons for My work is to give back to the CFS3 community, who have so richly Blessed me with their efforts.
I am grateful for the CFS family of combat flight sims, from the beginning with CFS to CFS3 they all have given me the chance to be involved with a Wonderful and amazing group of folks around the world.
And to SOH for the place a Hobbit can dance and be Crazy.
Some of these amazing folks are still with us as a part of our CFS family and some are gone. I am Blessed to be a small part of this family.
And even allowed a Hobbit to be a member of the ETO/PTO/Rising Sun team And several independent sites also have allowed a hobbit to have mission rooms on their sites..
And until they finally turn the lights out and lock the door I will be building missions for those who have so richly blessed me with their work and friendship.
I guess you can say this is a mission statement from a grateful and Blessed Hobbit..
This set of missions for Rising Sun will be dedicated to Talon, for his skill will be truly missed by many.
More rejoicing.
And I get to wreck aircraft too. Oh yea!

Bookie,

Do you still have the missions you tested? I remember seeing them in posts. In fact Talon asked me if he could use some of the facility files I made for my Rising Sun Rabaul missions.

I would really like to see and fly them.

Combat Flight Simulator 123

Hello HouseHobbit,

I also have been involved with the various versions of CFS since very near the beginning.
CFS was the first Combat simulator that I found that had enough detail in the game for good suspension of disbelief in my opinion. The problem for me was that many of the aircraft available when I started were either very poor in graphics or very poor in flight modelling. I thought I could do better and started first with flight modelling. After a while, I wanted to prove that a good model could be built with the most common tools and haven't stopped yet. Pity you do not fly CFS any more. I think you would enjoy some of the aeroplanes I have built.

Hopefully this is not too far off topic for this thread, but since we are discussing P-40s, I have what I believe to be a couple pretty good one in the CFS1 downloads area. My P-40E was extensively revised recently and will likely be the pattern for a few later versions (as soon as I finish fixing a 0.07 foot Thrust Line discrepancy.

The discussion thread is here:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?80890-Warhawk

This is a small discussion about my CW-21B along with a couple screenshots here"
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...ht-AT-9-quot-Jeep-quot-Work-In-Progress/page4

The thread also explains why the CW-21B is in the process of a major rework.

There are quire a few other Pacific Theater aircraft I have built or am currently building but of course they are all for the original Combat Flight Simulator.

Bookie,

I would really like to see and fly them.

The bad news is I lost my Rising Sun install with a computer crash,I didn't have enough space on my external HD for it. There is good news though.Talon's sister in law Hiede will be in NJ and both of us will be going to NY for the Memorial services for the 9/11 attack on the WTC.Hiede also lost her husband ( bother of Talon ) because of that attack in December 2002 She will be giving me DVD sets of all CFS3 work done by Talon.

HouseHobbit I know all about mission building for CFS3.I did BoB missions years ago for it but were lost in the SOH crashes along with a lot of other peoples work. A lot things were lost from netwings also even though some of it was uploaded here. I've been around flight sims along time.

I was doing missions for other flight sims before the original cfs came out.

I've also flown the whole CFS series and worked with them,flew online with some of the greats in CFS3. Also flew with a few of them in IL-2.

Back to the AVG..
With the Ki-48 Lily available for CFS3 Rising Sun Thanks to Master Corrado these can be made very historical.
Dec 20, 1941 first AVG intercept of Japanese bombers.

 

[TheBookie]

OK back to the AVG.

December 23,1941 Over Rangoon. Some old pics.

Why don't we just stick with CFS3 here guys, CFS2 and CFS Have their own forums.
More rejoicing..

The pics I uploaded are from CFS3 PTO Rising Sun.

Hurricanes also helped in the defense.

Sorry, Guys/

My pictures are all from the original CFS. They were a response to what I saw as reminiscing.
I don't actually fly CFS3 much any more.

My comments thus far have been more about the real aircraft and are an attempt to present data that might be useful for builds regardless of the simulator involved.

And thanks very much for your posts, Ivan. I am building a Warhawk campaign package for CFS3, and am reading the info on p-40s with great interest.

The AVG escorts RAF Buffaloes to Raheng.The Buffaloes are to attack the airfield while the AVG flies top cover for them.

 

[HouseHobbit]

COOL!!
Like the screenshots.

Ha! you're even crazier than we are!
