Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004

I've uploaded a 1.05 GB zip to your folder. This contains 1.6 versions of all three of my Asia-Pacific theatres including CAW, Midway and China. I've kept this bundle together because the version of 1.6 is not the most up to date, and the theatres are essentially quick conversions from 1.29 - they u...

Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004

I'm going to be pretty well wholly immersed in the Italy/Balkans/Ukraine world for a while yet. However, I can send you over the most complete setup I have for CAW, and you can see what you make of it.

Re: Moggy's Log March 2024

And mostly on this plane, which was the most widely produced aircraft in Poland in the 1930s, and still equipped the Polish airforce recce/utility role on the outbreak of war in September 1939: ...

Re: Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004

In the years after 2004, we worked up the base/carrier and town layout (airfields/target.dat) and did some prelim work on individual area layout (tardata.dat). We also had a prelim aircraft set and screens. For finishing it need a proper tardata layout, and sorting out the carrier/ship mods. And a n...

Screenshots from 20 odd years ago - March 2004

The story of 1940s fighter pilot Brendan Finucane, AKA ‘Spitfire Paddy’, is told with panache, even if it lays it on a bit thick. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/a6e485c90d61bdb77342c89ab03ebd0624329e18/0_182_5472_3283/master/5472.jpg?width=1900&dpr=1&s=none he unabashed wartime weepie is a l...

One of the most important planes of the 1920s & 1930s

Was the Fokker Tri-motor airliner.
