New campaign for WOV, work in progress

[+MK2]

This is a sneak peek at the Wings over Vietnam campaign: Aces of North Vietnam

 

This campaign has been meticulously researched and will include every single North Vietnamese fighter squadron that took part in Rolling Thunder, Linebacker one and Linebacker two as well as select flights from those squadrons that merit focus. Information on individual units will be included in the campaign start up screen. Even if you are not interested in flying for the VPAF you can read up on all the aces and Squadron histories. Actual skins will be included where possible. North Vietnamese patriotic music will be heard in the campaign screens as well as actual North Vietnamese writings including verses from their national anthem have been researched and placed in the campaign. Mig cockpit repaints, RWR MIG sounds, Pilot photos, new in game screens, the list goes on and on.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:

 

 

Kout?s game creens full of revolutionary fervor. (including a creepy uncle Ho).

 

 

Here is a Mig-19s from the 1/925th Fighter Regiment sporting green silver camo.

A skin created just for the mod.

 

 

 

The campaign is about 90% finished.

Now; If you could add a feature where the VPAF pilot (player) gets an electrical shock through the keyboard/flightstick if he deviates from his GCI controller's orders....

 

Seriously; VERY nice work!

Here is an update:

 

 

North Vietnamese writings included for ambience.

 

I have also added all the planes to the download (Including the wonderful Mig-21MF by Mago, Badger and Fubar).

I have included cockpits for the Mig-17s and Mig-19s (A-4 repaint with Russian lettering on the gauges):

 

 

 

I have also added cockpits for the Mig-21F-13 , the PFV and the PFM (F-4 repaint with Russian lettering on the gauges)

 

I have also added Wrench's wonderful hangar screens.

 

I have added music from North Vietnam, China, Laos etc (I personally do not like the songs but do it in the interest of historical flavor ;) ).

 

It is just about ready. All I need is one hangar screen and it should be good to go. I might actually release it before the patch since there are so many US units, the bug is not felt nearly as much.

 

 

Let me know what you think about that.
