Hello,

I have been searching for Bonz (member of SAS and M4T) for some time.
His great WWII Cruise campaign (parts 1 to 3) is still a great fun for me to play.
But in the newer BAT versions, there are a lot of problems (planes spawn in water instead of on carrier, planes explode on spawn, planes spawn on wrong side of runway, wrong planes etc.)
I have tried to change some things, so i can play it, but still there are problems, since i do not know much about those things (making campaigns, missions i mean).
Now i wanted to ask him to change these campaigns, but his M4T email does not exist anymore and in SAS he has not been active since 2012.
So he does not react to DM in M4T or SAS (i tried).

Does anyone know how i can reach him to ask if someone else may pick up his campaign and bring it up to the modern times?

And also, is someone willing to pick it up and bring it over to the modern BAT version (4.2.1 at the moment)????

Funny thing is, I had just taken these three campaigns on for a conversion session for my own pleasure.

Coincidence... But as soon as I'll get around, I want to play them and so you can have a converted set.
Wanna be my beta tester?

and another question, do you happen to have the required F4F-4 skins? They do not come with the campaign downloads.

Yep, i would love to test the campaign. That gives me the possibility to start over again with a reason 

I will look for the skins. No idea if i really have them or if it just picks standard ones.
Will get back to you about that.

ADDED:
I checked the campaign, but cannot find any mandatory skins (or any skins at all).
Seems that it really just takes the skin it default gets.
No names or specific skins anywhere to be found, not even in the readme files.
If you need one, let me know which one, and i will search for it on my PC.
But i do not think it needs any special skins.

I'll contact you when I have a set of files then.

The part I calls for skins named like this:
  skin0 F4F-4-Squadron-12.bmp
  skin1 F4F-4-Squadron-16.bmp
  skin2 F4F-4-Squadron-01.bmp
  skin3 F4F-4-Squadron-09.bmp

I suppose, a set of premarked and numbered skins, as in these missions the in-game markings are also set to off.

Ugh.
I am looking at very annoying loadout incompatibilities, which I will fix by expanding some loadout lists in BAT, rather than edit the missions.
So for this mission pack you'll also get a beta hotifx....

I just checked the settings for me and all i see is the Default Skin.
No specifc version are preselected in the game.
But for the first missions i can select things like (F4F-3), but no others available for me then this.

No problem for me.
B.t.w. i mostly fly 3 evenings max. per week, just to let you know

I am in no hurry whatsoever, it was a private endeavor.
I do this for YOU

Well, thank you then.
But do take your time, i am not in a hurry

Here's a package of all three campaign folders with BAT-ready missions + a set of properly named F4F skins for the first segment!

You need BAT 4.2.1 Hotfix pack 03 to play this:

Awesome!

I love full-war career campaigns, so this will be right up my alley!

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, I loved those campaigns, thank you so much for updating them for BAT, Vampire!
