it says how in this thread, although its a bit out of date with the new modact over at SAS, http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/8191-how-to-mod-your-4101-install/ To be honest, if you wait a week, the next UP will be out, and its for sure in that anyway. Oh, and its great all the time.

Circus operations were coordinated bomber and fighter ops, 6/12 Blenheims escorted by ever increasing number of Spitfire squadrons, designed to get the luftwaffe up and fight. Rodeos were fighter sweeps over enemy territory, Rhubarbs, were low level fighter/fighter bomber sweeps normally taking advantage of low cloud, to attack targets of opportunity. although there are many other types, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_RAF_code_names and yes the missions did become quite sophisticated, and will try to recreate this as much as possible, within the limits to planes in the air to run a co-op smoothly. waiting for UP to see how much i can use triggers to aid this, has potential, as does the possibility of using zuti MDS1.2, and although effectively running the missions as a 'co-op' using some of the MDS features may have some mileage.

Thanks guys, Is that a hint of what day to run the campaign on TOAD, lol. This will be interesting and quite different from the 54 squadron campaign, as all the advantages that the RAF had in the BoB, we don't have for this campaign. It will be us this time operating over enemy territory, and us having to watch are fuel, basically the role reversal from BoB. 1941 was not a great year for the RAF fighter command, probably the worst of the whole war, lots of pilots were lost, for no tactical gain imo. We'll start of flying the SpitMkIIb, before getting the MkVb, and will start of flying against mainly 109E7's before quickly becoming F2's and then F4's, and will just catch the introduction of the Fw 190 into theatre (ouch). survival, will be victory!

umm, no it wasn't! America was never part of Britain, it was a colony of the British empire. The war of Independence can be called many things, but a civil war is not one of them, technically speaking.

Well, its coming soonish Following on from the 54 squadron Battle of Britain campaign, I'm working on a 92 squadron campaign starting Jan '41 until Oct '41 when they were withdrawn. 92 squadron were the first squadron to be re-equipped with the Hispano cannons in the 'b-wing- format that we are used to (and that worked), the first to be equipped with the new merlin 45 engines (ie Spit MkV), and were an intergral part in taking the fight to the Germans in '41, flying numerous circuses, rhubarbs and rodeos. Plenty of well known pilots graced 92 squadron, Johny Kent (of 303 squadron fame), Geoffrey Wellum, Brian Kingcome, just to name a few. The map i'm going to use for this is GilB57's 1:1 westfront map, as 92 were based at Manston during this time. I'll run the campaign at the same settings as the 54 squadron campaign was run at, and it will be written as a full strength squadron (12 plane) event again. I've already pretty much done all the skins now, including making 12 nice 92 squadron skins, and will release a skin pack to go with the missions again. A few screenies as tasters from where i've been messing with things lately, Mission to Lille, FB.
