Take part in General Pershing's punitive expedition to apprehend the Mexican bandit Pancho Villa in 1916.
Who can say the whole air force once was once out to get them? (spoiler: without success) This man could, since the eight Curtiss Jennies was all that was available when General Pershing asked for and got the First Aerial Squadron to follow him into Mexico in March 1916.









12 Missions, ranging between half an hour to an hour behind the stick.

+++ This campaign is about the flying! +++

The Jenny is an unarmed observation plane. It is slow and climbs like a solid piece of antique furniture on a good day, but is extremely stable in the air.

There will be recon missions, postal duty and general survival against the elements of a hostile desert region. Missions range from half an hour to an hour. The events are historical, sometimes twisted to fit the possibilities of the game. The accounts and narrative is historical.

Recommended settings:
- Overheat to ON (this is part of the fun and fairly easy to manage)
- Torque to ON (the Jenny has torque compensating rudder. It only flies straight when this is ON!)
- Flutter to ON
- Wind to ON  (this is part of the fun)










enjoy:)

Finally had some free time to check this out.  This is GREAT!  Thanks Vamp!!!
Nice choice picking Spain, I think its a nice stand in for early 1900s Texas/Mexico.
There is a Jenny mission in MSFS2020 where you fly the mail from DC to Baltimore, and it's terrible.  Your campaign is so much more detailed and thought out.
This 23 year old game shines through once again

Thank you so much

Have you thought about incorporating these campaigns in the next BAT update?

[Vampire_pilot]

It works the other way around. BAT 4.2.3 was built to make this campaign. I needed the map, I wanted some details on the FM done....

I do not ship missions with BAT in general. They come all stand alone, that is why we have the campaign sections here on the board.

Well, a boy can dream... a boy that wants it all!

[Vampire_pilot]

Yeah but... what's the problem? Download and play... ?

Already did.  No biggie, just thought about introducing some content to go along with newer releases, like sample missions with newer objects, but like I said, no biggie.

What a fascinating campaign.
I started to fly it and it is as Vampire said, "about the flying".
It is relaxing to fly those old reliable bird over the vast steppes of Mexico.

We may be the first aeroplane over the city of Columbus ever!
