Countdown to Olympic
#1

Anyone here remember "Aces of the Pacific" from Sierra Dynamix? I love this game, was my first sim and still play it from time to time. It have a amazing expansion ( for the era ) called 1946 ( and no is not a joke ). Is a what if expansion, US not nuke bombe Japan and they didn't surrender, so a Invasion is needed is what they called!!

"OPERATION OLYMPIC"

US want to conquer Kyushu in the first part in order to get a strong beachhead to attack the rest of the country and specially the Kanto plain ( Operation Coronet ). 1946 expansion added planes that might have fighted on this operation, F8 Bearcat, F7 tigercat, the F2G2 Goodyear Corsair, P80, the japanese jet fighter Kikka, the strange Shinden or the Ki-83. You need to fight over Kyushu first and then over the Kanto plain.
When Jolly anounced that maybe a F8F Bearcat is possible I decided to make a hommage to the game creating a map for Olympic operation and I started changing the textures for the map. You can it here:

Then searching Skins for the Japanese planes

Maybe someone can transform into this:

And this one

into this:

I'm planning to add some American airfields and harbours in the Koshiski islands so all you USAF and RAF guys can fly your Tempests, Mustangs and P80 ( maybe Meteors in the future )
Do you like the idea?[/img][img[/img]
