HouseHobbit 2 Posted September 5, 2012 A dear friend and famous Ace here at BHAH, Stumpjumper has contacted me and suggested that I do a Italian campaign of missions for OFF.. And since I do have the greatest respect for Him I will do this.. Perhaps a 10 mission set to start with..As my first upload.. Now since I know Nothing about the Italian airwar.. ***Any suggestions and refence sites will be MOST Welcomed.. I would like to do some Historical missions and of course My Hysterical Hobbit missions .. Please sent any ideas, or suggestions Via: PM or E-mail.. Off to fire up The Hobbit mission factory.. And wreck some aircraft in Italy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) No knowledge here either. But I just googled for "WW1 air warfare Italy" and got this for a start: http://www.century-o...alian_front.htm http://www.worldwar1.com/itafront/ .

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted September 6, 2012 . Nice to see so much action all of a sudden on the Italian Front. Looking forward to the missions HH. Also, a couple of books on the US flyers serving with the Italians that are well worth the read are Jack B. Hilliard's "CAPRONIs, FARMANs and SIAs: US Army aviation training and combat in Italy with Fiorello LaGuardia, 1917-1918" and "Dear Bert: An American pilot flying in World War I Italy", by Edward Lewis. .

Olham 164 Posted September 6, 2012 Had I posted this link? Lost overview... At the bottom of this Wiki page are many links to more pages about the Austrian army. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_and_Royal_Aviation_Troops_%28Austro-Hungarian%29 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HouseHobbit 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Had I posted this link? Lost overview... At the bottom of this Wiki page are many links to more pages about the Austrian army. http://en.wikipedia....stro-Hungarian) No, But glad ya did..Thanks.. Between reading and building.. I think the Hobbit brain is getting a education(well maybe not). I Will have to take it out of the box I keep it in, and dust it off some perhaps.. Been in a box in the basement so long it might have gotten dusty.. Or could be the landings(wrecks).. Nope,, been landing that way for years, it only takes a bit to get used to it..

Herr Prop-Wasche 7 Posted September 6, 2012 What planes do you intend to have in your mission pack? I might be able to lend a hand in creating some FM's and DM's for some of the unique planes in this theatre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HouseHobbit 2 Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) What planes do you intend to have in your mission pack? I might be able to lend a hand in creating some FM's and DM's for some of the unique planes in this theatre. Right now it is rather fluid, to say the least.. Stumpjumper has supplied me with several aircraft from his hanger, and I am using the Stock OFF aircraft(reskinned stand-alones) I realize that I have yet to recieve permissions for any of this to be uploaded with the package from the OFF team.. I am hopeful once their see their beautiful aircraft in this it might help out.. The copyright of the team shall not be infringed upon.. And I give Full credit to the Masters who are helping in this effort to bring Italy into the war.. I am trying to set up a nice package for all here, Historical and Hysterical missions.. We are limited by the need for support from the Masters.. I only build Missions and have little skill in the other areas.. And I do depend upon the Masters to have items to place in my missions packages for all to use freely.. As this develops I will have a better idea how this shall go.. Right now Stumpjumper has the Aircraft he asked to be in this, Contact Stump and perhaps you all can work something interesting out.. And as of now this been expanded into far more then 10 missions, looking at 30+ now.. Perhaps as many as 50 missions.. Have ten completed as of today and expect another ten in two days.. Yea beating the Hades out of the ORCS, at the workstations ..Work faster!! Orcs are so slow at this.. Should have stayed using Elves, they are much easier to deal with.. Off to wreck Off..

HouseHobbit 2 Posted September 7, 2012 Based on what HH has done with mission building for CFS3 and mods of same...hang on to your goggles and scarves! ;>) Royce Thanks for the votes of confindence guys.. I will do my best to see this is interesting and Fun for all.. But the debt is to the Masters here who are helping get this together and suppling the items needed to make this possible.. I just build missions, the Masters do the hard stuff.. And then I wreck it all!! It's good to be a hobbit.. On goes the Ring!! Off to wreck Off.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
