Thanks, Stan ! I always worry about those old campaign-movies, when playing old campaigns...

And what for the one at the end ?

[SAS~Monty27]

By the way... Thierry Duruz... I know him... because... it's me !

I always thought so but was too shy to ask.  I'm your biggest fan!  The Flying Tigers was a masterpiece!  Remember how you got all those aircraft spawning from dispersal when the Japanese raided one of the jungle bases in Northern Burma?  You actually started from the scrim-nets - and this was back in 408!

With all the things that 412 changed and broke the ability to do that again, even simpler this time, is the best thing that ever happened to the modded Il2.

We must get all of your stuff together and give it the 412 C.U.P. treatment don't you think?

BTW, campaign movies usually have to be remade from one version to another...

Sorry to disappoint you, Monty... but Flying Tigers on FB 2.04 was not made by me, but by my excellent friend Obélix !

I did the same as him (parking spawnings) in my Tintin campaign on FB 2.04, at the same period (10 years ago ? 2004 ?). To do so became impossible when PF came out. But it came back (diffferently) with 4.12.

This apart, thanks for your kind words !

And if anyone want to do so (put my old campaigns to 4.12), no problem ! as it came out, it became public ! the only thing to do is to respect proper credits. That's all.

My apologies on that one Thierry but I had loads of your campaigns back in the day.  I can't be wrong about the Swiss 109s that had to escort He111s out of their airspace when they were ilegally cutting corners?  Then there were the Italian and Pacific campaigns, you tell some great stories.

Successive installs and upgrades have seen a lot of material put aside since then.  Was it really 10 years ago?

I am hoping that C.U.P. will stabilise the situation and take us forward without breaking any more mods.  I want us to re-build those glorious campaigns and make them even better with the new features we now have.

Was it really 10 years ago?

Yes, more or less... it is 10 years I did not create any new campaign. I just upgraded one or two between 2006 and 2014 (Tintin, SCW and the Swiss campaign, for example, available at checksix), and that's all. But if I remember correctly, they were all originally made between 2002 and 2005... I did not do any since : Lack of time, due to real life... also, when Pacific Fighters came out, it was not possible anymore to do parking spawning because of the introduction of the carriers. And this made my interest go down...

Hope some day, when there will be less stress in my Job, I will have time again ! but I fear not, unfortunately...

SCW as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can you please post the download links?  Or some URLs to get me started to look for them?

[Gaston]

Grab it here : http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=39. I think it is the last version I made of it. But this is the one Stan is updating...

[SAS~Monty27]

No need if Stan is on it, I meant everything else.  Have got onto CY6 site now.  There's a wealth of material especially on the Battle of France and the Low Countries.

It strikes me that a lot of people are talking about BoS and CloD and SoW when the modded Il2 has so much more potential if only people would learn how to get the best out FMB.  They have no idea.  But we will show them...

[Gaston]

CY6 ??? I did not mention it... I was speaking about www.checksix-fr.com, the French site...

[SAS~Monty27]

That's what I meant, Check Six - Simulation, always an interesting place to visit but a lot of other irrelevant stuff to get past first...
