Just looked at this thread - sorry for the lateness of this, but the carrier line up for desert storm needs to be corrected. Persian Gulf - night one (17 Jan 91) - USS Midway (CV-41) with Carrier Air Wing 5 (CVW-5) embarked, USS Ranger (CV-61) with Carrier Air Wing 2 (CVW-2) embarked. USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) with Carrier Air Wing 8 (CVW-8) embarked had just transited the Straits of Bab-El-Mandeb (going from the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden at high speed - 30 kts). TR (Roosevelt) transited the Straits of Hormuz on the night of 19 Jan, and began flying on 20 Jan. Red Sea - USS Saratoga (CV-60) with Carrier Air Wing 17 (CVW-17) embarked, USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) with Carrier Air Wing 3 (CVW-3) embarked and USS America (CV-66) with Carrier Air Wing 1 (CVW-1) embarked. USS America left the Red Sea after 2 weeks and repositioned to the Persian Gulf for the remainder of the war. Night one missions were flown by Air Wings from Midway and Ranger in the gulf and Saratoga and JFK in the Red Sea. Air Wing 2 from America began flying the second day, and Air Wing 8 fromTR on the fourth day.

Dave, Wrench, JSF - I was going single mission - i'll check out the campaign stuff. Also, didn't think about going "heavy" on the enemy side - but will do so next opportunity. So, please accept my apology for not having thoroughly done the "pro Alfa" on the system. I had seen all of the AAA targets on ingress, but just had not seen the curtain of flak. This still is a great add-on. Thanks for the insight - and corrections! Deke Navy81

Guys, This is a superb mod! If you may be considering an additional patch, can you consider adding the following to REALLY ramp up the realism: 1. Add AAA (flak) to the areas where there were strategic targets, cities, and airfields. While we (coalition forces) owned the electronic spectrum through active jamming and a phenominal pre-emptive SEAD plan followed by daily SEAD, the Iraqi's still threw up one helluva lot of unguided AAA. Early on when we were still going low, it was like flying through a wall of fire. 2. Add Carriers. We had 6 of them over there. 3. Add more airfield revetted hangar missions. We took out a bunch! 4. Add a few patrol boats to the Northern Gulf anti-surface mission. We sunk a lot more of those than tankers or cargo ships. In no way am i knocking this fantastic add-on. You all did a great job, and I can't thank you enough. Cheers. Deke Navy81

Every time I attempt to download the B-52 mission file (regardless of which one), I get the "page not found" screen. Do you have another location for the download? Thanks. Deke Navy81

All, Thanks for the quick replies. SF2E it is! BTW, yes the rigs are 8gb and 4gb RAM respectively. Late night & fat finger conspiracy going on there. All the best, and Cheers. Deke Navy81

Hey folks, I'm new to this forum, so I beg your indulgence if i have missed a previous post on the subject. Wondering on thoughts as to which way to go on purchase - Wings Over Europe or Strike Fighters 2 Europe. I have 2 rigs - one Vista (8mb RAM, quad core Phenom, 2 Nvidia GT9600) which i use primarily for FSX, and one XP (4mb RAM, Core 2 duo, single Nvidia GT9600) which i run both FSX, FS9, and WOV (YAP2). I read that there is a Desert Storm mod in the works for SF2E (a mod to the one already created for WOE) - which I would definitely want, but can be patient in waiting for if necessary. Thanks.
