Good Morning Ivan.... черт!

I may have something worth sharing. I recall that many years ago I modified JonathanRL's 1959 campaign to happen during the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis. Basically, grounded on this RL event but still keeping US involvement. I can't recall if I had fixed the OOB as well, but it's worth considering. Also, my Nations & Medals Expansion add-on fixes the insignia for the RoCAF. Due to an oversight by TK in the Nations.ini file, it was using the later '92 roundel instead of the proper one for Cold War years, despite the correct roundel texture exists in the game's files.

This is quickly becoming more than just a simple upgrade as I dig further into the internet to find more and more little details. I told Jonathan this and he said he trusts me with it. Big praise! I have no idea how accurate this is but I found this to be interesting. If PACAF was sending task force rotations to Taiwan that changes some of the dynamics of the campaign. I doubt ADC would commit any aircraft but I'm a sucker for the One O Wonder and the Six so they'll remain. I'll be looking for alternate data to back up any claims before I would add any squadrons http://taipeiairstation.blogspot.com/2011/10/history-of-us-air-force-in-taiwan-part_30.html?m=1 Additionally, a rough (very rough) mod of the P-2H to become an RB-69A has begun. Still need to make the CIA skin, I'm just doing ini stuff right now, like remembering how weapons stations work. I only have the wikipedia article to go off of, but apparently the RB-69s and EP-3s used by the CIA Black Bats carried Sidewinders for self defense. The RB-69 would be little more than eye candy in the campaign but I find it a very interesting story. https://www.key.aero/article/lockheed-rb-69a-spy-plane-cia-used-over-china

is that airbase supposed to be smoking like that? i mean some things smoke naturally but....

The defense of Taiwan is going- well, it's going

I'm currently in the process of adding some refinement and updates to the Formosa Freedom campaign to take advantage of various Century Series and ROCAF mods that have been released since this campaign first came out. I've been given permission by JonathanRL to upload them. Always thought it was a solid campaign but it's started to show its age in a few places. Still in the process of working out some kinks here and there and trying to find issues of my own making. I've found just about everything I've needed for USAF and ROCAF aircraft and just need to update the F-104A, B-57, and Skyraiders (no more Korea era dark blue!) Below are the changes/additions/improvements I've thought out to this point. Please let me know if there's anything you think I've missed or should change. NOTE: I don't plan on uploading this as an all-inclusive Terrain: Now uses Wrench's recent Formosa Revamp Aircraft Updates: F-100A and F-106A updates by paulopanz, F-101B by Yakarov79, ROCAF F-84G and F-86F-40 from Wrench Aircraft Addition: RF-101C by Yakarov79, B-47E by Coyote Aerospace Aircraft Removal: F-101A/C, B-52D

been using PS 6 & 7 since the early 2000s. I've always wondered what that save function did!! thanks!!!

Launching the CAG..

hittin teh IP, fire up the cameras where'd everybody go?

@Viggen This is what I had, definitely not good enough since it was an early work in progress dating back to almost 10 years ago or so: CampaignT1.zip The OOB might be pretty wrong. What I recall is that the Chinese navy ships that JonathanRL used for the campaign actually are anachronistic. I don't know if we have more period correct ones.

Targets of Opportunity. Bombing the Parking Ramp vs the runway.........

Appreciate the offer. I'll try to think of anything. More data on the 1959 ROCAF ORBAT is all I can think of right now. I also wouldn't mind a CIA skin for the P-2H to stand in for the ROCAF Black Bats but I'm going to try that one myself. You modders have done so much over the years and for almost 20 years I've done nothing but say thanks and download the work. About time I try to really give it a shot.

Just tell us what else we can improve, maybe some modders have still some stuff that has not been unearthed yet. and how we can help.

getting slowly but surly my first 4096 x 4096 template done , the rear metal part is done now i´m adding screws and rivets still a lot of work to be done and it takes a lot of time to make a new 4096 x 4096 template especially adding all the stuff that you can not add at the 2048 x 2048 templates , and learning and understanding the new software took me quite some time to i thought i can do them faster but there is no way

I´m pretty much interested on this subject. Despite the late posting, there goes the only photos I know so far. Is there some more to share?

Cap over Korea...... Let's go see if the Migs will come out and tangle They did.. Bad Idea... Back to the boat. ...
