[Shakaali]

THANKS A LOT 

You're welcome 

Hope you'll enjoy!

[Cloyd]

I haven't used DCG for many years but, as a Wildcat fanatic, I look forward to trying your campaign.

Thanks for your efforts, Shakaali

[Shakaali]

I haven't used DCG for many years but, as a Wildcat fanatic, I look forward to trying your campaign.

Thanks 

DCG is definately worth using.  You should also try my Battle of Madagascar https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,57010.0.html  and Battle Of Gazala https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,54992.0.html campaigns, as they also include a flyable Martlet II. 

[Pivoyvo]

I´m  sorry to say but there are no skins inside.
In the descryption at m4t there should be skins.
Just to clarify.

Best Wishes Pivoyvo

[Shakaali]

Pivoyvo, there are empty skin folders but no skins.  They are included, because DCG requires a skin folder for every plane. Sorry if I mislead you.

[Raven Morpheus]

Thanks for this.  It's interesting to note you have a Photo Recon campaign available.

Can you explain how the missions work in terms of completing the objective?  I've generated one in-game and my first mission is to fly an armed photo recon misson.  Don't quite understand that as PRU planes weren't armed.

[Shakaali]

DCG does not recognise that the plane carries no weapons. However, that does not matter as armed recon mission equals to recon mission and completion requires only flying over the target area. 

[Raven Morpheus]

Oh OK.  Thanks.

[vonOben]

Sounds interesting! 

Thank you very much, Shakaali! 

[steph12]

Thanks a lot Shakaali! Going to try this one right away!
