Thank you Kevin, just flown the first op and the flak got me.  Great campaign with just the right atmosphere though...

Flak is a bear...  It's funny you can fly the same mission 10 times and 9 of them turn out good... but that 1... from Flak

Interesting enough the S/Ldr for the 198th was KIA from Flak over Cherbourg days after the Invasion.

If anyone is experiencing a problem during the 1st mission... ensure you check that WAW-00-AIRBOOST BOB is deactivated in JSGME.

Had a report of a crashed Piper Cub during the first mission (There are no Piper Cubs in this Campaign)

I noticed that some time Piper Cubs replace another plane in mission (if the orgin isn't in the game version).

Thanks Kevin.  As a testament to your campaign making abilities and our abilities to use it - it even works for me.  No guarantee that I will play long without getting shot out of the sky, but it works well thus far.  And from past experience, you know that if I can get it to work/installed properly, probably most everyone can.  Thanks again.

I finally have time to finish this nice campaign!

Mission 7 has a small bug, there is no player aircraft assigned. It results in the mission being effectively skipped in the campaign.

Thanks very much Kevin, the Typhoon has always been one of my personal faves.

I will install later and give it a go, much appreciated.

Hey Kevin,
loving this campaign its working great so far. i really aprecate the work and effort that must have gone into its creation! the missions are really well thought out and the recon photos are an awesome idea!

However im trying to complete mission 5, but on the run in to the beach the AI and i keep running into what appears to be ropes to barrage balloons. im loosing half my planes to these before i even get to the targets and i can not even see said balloons due to them being in the cloud. by the time i see said ropes its usually too late to avoid them.

do you have any suggestions as to how to avoid them?? for example could i take the flight up high till moving inland then dive down on the targets?

regards and thanks again for the great campaign,
Pete

For a mission planner to avoid this, here's what you do. Let's say there are four 'red' flights. Yours is 242 Squadron RAF. Everyone else can be any other, repeat other red airforce. The game should always then put you in the right plane. Don't forget to turn off AI radio chatter.

Are you following the waypoints?  The waypoint puts you in between the balloons,
