VMF-223 Guadalcanal - F4U-1_Corsair - 27.08.2009
VMF 223 Guadalcanal
The following work has been my project for the last five months, and I am proud to now say that It is finished.
over guadalcanal:
DOWNLOAD- GUADALCANAL
All missions in this campaign are entirely based on ones flown in the real campaign by VMF-223. In nearly all missions, there are the same amount of aircraft, at the same times, at the same places, as in real life. All events mentioned in breifings and occuring in the missions and videos are based on events which actually happened.
Version 1.2-Corrected mission briefings, and fixed several minor mission errors, as well as one major one
Mods required for this campaign to work:
The Slot
AI_3_0_and_Carrier_Takeoff_5_3_3
Ship Pack2
as well as several skins for aircraft.
Recommended mods along with required skins, and links to the sites where they are posted can be found in the readme.
Important: Some people have reported problems downloading the skins for this campaign. If this is the case, send me a PM and I'll send you the skins as soon as I can.
Credits for information goes to:
GUADALCANAL, The definitive account of the landmark battle, by Richard B. Frank
This book provided most of the information on aircraft amounts, records of the flight and all other technical data
Semper Fi in the Sky, Marine Air battles of WWII by Gerald Aster
This book helped with Pilot accounts of the air battles.
A Dawn Like Thunder, The true story of Torpedo squadron eight. By Robert J Mrazek
This book provided information on some of the action on the ground as well as the several large bombing missions.
As well as many websites which I happened to find in my search for other information
Inevitably there will be some errors in a few of the missions, if anyone has information or evidence that something is inccorrect in the campaign, please PM me or leave a post. The same goes for any technical errors in the missions, please send me a PM or post. Thanks.

Update: an error in the first mission was causing anyone with a low rank to air start. This has now been fixed.
Thanks to everyone for their very positive feedback.
Question Re: Skins - Irish - 29.08.2009
Did a search at M4T by copying and pasting from the README and was unable to find the skins. Anyone else have this problem?

you now have to go the mission4today site and log in before entering the URL.
if you are doing this and it is still not working I can PM you a copy of all the needed skins

No go on the DL. Registered and logged in and still get no results.
Requesting PM of skins. Thanks for your trouble :oops:
- jlan5031 - 30.08.2009
Tried the advice you gave Irish, checked in and searched for your VMF-223 skins, but no luck. I'd appreciate a PM with the necessary skins.
Thanks, it looks like the campaign will be fun.
