European Air War - The Gen

At 6ft 4in, Bell was thought too tall to be a pilot, so he was trained as an observer and then as a bomb aimer destined for Bomber Command. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/obituaries/2024/03/21/TELEMMGLPICT000371319734_17110398387760_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqmAeoF98xn-vZkJzeceE1GPUJhikvKyMIPuzJtdmv...

I'm running 1.28 and having an issue with the Battle of Britain campaign as the Luftwaffe. On missions the RAF aircraft always chase the Luftwaffe all the way back to their airfields in France. Needless to say this is hardly accurate, highly annoying and it's impossible to continue the campaign as ...

Thanks Ray, I will have a go at putting together a new planeset for the default careers. Now, SPAW. How best to put together a setup that will run SPAW careers - I note Jel's post above about the carrier deck height problem. Which exe is best to use? And sorry to ask the question again but as there ...

Default campaigns and Spain will run in the new campaign setup. Haven't tried it with SPAW yet.

I have it in mind to put a post re the new campaign setup in the "Instruction Manual" section.

Do we, by the way, have a more recent planeset for the default careers?

Thanks Jel. I have been looking at the various Finland setups today, and came to much the same conclusion. The 128E setup is definitive for the Finland careers, and I agree the complex setup with multiple front lines controlled by a separate manager is unsuited for 1.6. Of course the Finland map is ...

Thanks Jel. I think it's a good thing to have an installation that runs pilot careers properly.

Can we have the SPAW careers and the default/Spain/Finland/DAW careers in the same setup albeit with separate exes?

Thanks Jel. I did need to apply alt-G, but otherwise seems to be working.



I'm going to try it with the other career mods Spain, Finland and SPAW.

Thanks Capt, I will try it.

The problems Iseem to be getting with 1.6 exes flying default carreers are these: (1) CTD on clicking next mission (2) instant medal awards (3) gunsight 3dz and spt not displaying. From experiments done this morning, the last 1.6 exe I have which does not exhibit one or other of these problems is UA...

Ray, I've put UAW150V4Copy.zip in your folder. It's a stripped down version of the 1.5 theatre that seems to work fine for me with the default campaigns. It only has the default 1.2 theatre and ETO planeset, and just the one 1.5 exe. Can you see what results you get with the various default campaign...

Group to search for celebrated US pilot’s fighter plane in South Pacific Richard Bong downed 40 aircraft in a Lockheed P-38 Lightning before it crashed while being flown by another pilot https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/af7223301045752aff9e7572b7f2414337ff484f/0_0_3000_2366/master/3000.jpg?width=1900&...

That suggests our 1.5 setups are different. I'll package mine up and let you have it.

I don't have 26Sep2016 exec in 1.5 so I ran Oct24th instead. Theater and plane set are the same as yours. 1st mission - OK and no medal. 2nd mission - pitch dark on take off (never seen that before in campaign mode), mission OK 3rd mission - pitch dark on take off, CTD after using Alt /N to get to ...

I've moved the general topic of campaign problems to its own topic, so it doesn't get in the way of assisting Justafleshwound with his particular problem.
