My wife's a better shot than me. I'm proud and ashamed.

Nice work, people.

Here is the '69 campaign if anyone wants it. It works as is, but could maybe use some more tweaking as far as squadrons go. If you use it, take a look thru the data.ini at what planes and boats you'll need. Switch 'em out if you want. Off the top of my head: 3rd party F-102A, Bucc, some RN ships. Other than that, mostly stock+DLC. Oh yeah, and here's an AAR on how the campaign played out. A few things have been changed since then, but nothing major. NA69.zip

Hey IanH, Just curious, but which DLC finally percolated enough interest?

Well, at any rate, a new external model+skins would be very appreciated at this point.

Is there a new pit?

Good thinking. Ya know, I'm not really sure if I ever downloaded the new water map. @Wrench, could that be? I don't have an enemy fleet in my campaign, just a US task force stationed offshore. The only reason I used the NA method rather than the old carrier station was to see pretty pretty cruisers and destroyers when I take off/land. Plus, they slaughter any MiGs foolish enough to pursue my egress.

Here ya go: Stationary, though. StartPosition=370000,785000 ObjectivePosition=370000,785000 HomePortPosition=370000,785000

Try placing your force further from the coast. Try them way out, then move closer incrementally to find how close you can get. I'ld just give you my coordinates, but they are at home and I'm at work. I ran into the same problem a while back.

Yes, I know it's a game and we can do whatever we want, really, (F-16C's in The Korean War? Sure...) but my question is: If Operation Red Lightning had begun in September, 1979, would the Soviets have had the Su-25 fighting, given the scope and nature of a full scale offensive into Central Europe? I don't know anything about the process of aircraft service introduction. I have only read the Wikipedia page, which states that the Su-25 went into production in 1978, and was introduced in 1981 for the Afghan War.

...and today they are some of the most revered planes on both sides. Ever watch the Wings of the Red Star episode on the Su-25? Interesting to hear from the USAF pilots who got to fly it.

I have a 1969 campaign(setting: Red Hammer has become a stalemate) that I have played thru once. It works fine. You can have it for the pack if you like. Very Skyhawk/Crusader-centric. Ark Royal is there. F-102 for 57FIS. I upgraded many squadrons as most in the Atlantic were flying the old A-4C (due to Vietnam?) A few squadrons are wrong; to me this was a lesser evil than planes with no livery. There might be a few more squadron tweaks I could make.

Yes indeed it will. As soon as I get home, I'll be dropping this bad boy into all of the appropriate campaign_data.ini's. Thanks. Been looking forward to this one.

all of the sudden, it seems. I haven't installed a patch or DLC for months. I added my old .ini's, changed them back manually, nothing works! Now my MiG's are no longer flyable.

My Version.ini file got whacked somehow. All of the DLC info was mixed up. Deleted it, let it rebuild. Now it seems to work. This ever happen to any of yall? Just a glitch? Running virus scan now, but that's just paranoia...

I'ld rather wait for the new one. The latest tiles are amazing. They really breathe new life into the terrain engine.

Yeah. Foxbat + TW AI's propensity for turning fights = lots of kills. But still, would like to see it in there. We'll make it flyable in no time.

Dude, if I don't get smaller trees for Korea3, I'll probably live. Don't hurt yourself. I do appreciate the thought, tho.

Looking great, yall.

So, I added 6 new TRUCK routes to my movement.ini for CEurope, but I'm still not getting many armed recon missions for a squadron that has : MissionChance[ARMED_RECON]=100 ...A-1H Skyraider (has Armed_Recon as a Primary role), and it is stationed near many of the routes. Is there a setting in the campaign _DATA.INI that can change this?

Europe 1979, I get the same results: No Armed Recon. There's got to be something that references mission types in a campaign. ?
