Righto, been messing about and play testing a few missions. I'm about done, I think. There are a few more ideas I'd like to add, and the thought of using all the lovely new maps is tempting, but I'd rather get on with my Defence of the Reich campaign. I really want to play that one.
The campaign will consist of around 15 missions - surprised myself there as I though tit was only about 9. I think I'll just use default skins as we can now set them ourselves and the 4.09 ones look good anyway. The missions will definitely be different from the usual type. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, I just thought I'd tell you.
All of the missions are very short but full of odd match-ups, weird landing or take off positions, and sometimes some unusual uses of objects. You'll need a decent PC for some of them I think but most will run okay on a normal PC. Strangely I have noticed in the last two weeks that a couple of missions are running less smoothly than before. Perhaps I have downloaded a graphically heavy MOD somewhere along the line. No matter.
I should also note that there is lots of bad language - these are pirates after all.
I'll post a complete list of the necessary mods nearer to the time I upload it - which should be soon.
Cheers,
Jude

Very nice! But I'm not that happy to hear about "Default skins only"....ah well, if it has a nice story, and is fun...who cares about skins? :lol:

[Nocturnum]

The player will fly as one character but he is as yet (and probably will remain) unnamed. To be honest the missions are just excuses to do fun things and the briefings just tie basic events together.

The mission from the below shot was an absolute pain to make. Still not sure if I'll include it as it doesn't play the way I want it to due to AI limitations around mountains.



Here's a shot from an old mission that I replayed yesterday. I thought I was dead for sure but the wing went right over my head!

[Nocturnum]

By the way, I won't use the Lerch (sp?) or Gotha in this campaign a s I'm trying to use early war planes.

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

Very nice! I had AI-problems with mountains too...a DCG-campaign, and 2 squadrons of He 162 were flying straight into the mountains....

Anyway, what mods will the campaign be using? And when will we finally get it?

[Nocturnum]

Spent a couple of hours arranging the files and sorting out the campaign loading. I always forget how to do this part. Anyway, it's all working fine now. I found a few big errors and have started correcting them. Won't take long if I get some free time.
Then I just have to bundle it up into a file, upload it and we'll be ready to go.

NECESSARY MODS -
The Slot v1.1 or later
AI aircraft as flyable (any Soundmod should have this.
Needs Unified Mod PLUS PLUS PLUS PLUS
LAL-RONE's Hangar Mod 2.0
LAL-RONE's Infantry Mod

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

Could you tell me what parts of the UMI (Unified Mod Installer) this needs? The UMI is too big for me to download properly, but I do have most of the mods that change essential things to the game. And those Hangar- and Infantry Mods will be on my Install as soon as the campaign is released....

[Nocturnum]

But of course, monsieur.
This is the complete list of required mods. All but two of them are available in the UMI.

Still just tidying up some of the missions. May add one or two still, who knows? The campaign should be up by next weekend, possibly earlier.

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

Ahh! So I need the Beau and the two of LAL_Rone's....ahm, how close to a release are we, btw?

[Nocturnum]

Very. A week at most, barring mishaps.

[Nocturnum]

Almost there. Making good progress on the finishing touches. A few more pics to keep you going.

Quail before the cannon of the Arado!

*I'm* not going to clean it up!

Who's stupid bloody idea was this, anyway?

This is not going to end well...

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

Looks nice 8)
And looks like you're using custom skins after all

[Nocturnum]

Yep. Going for some custom skins now. Not too many though so it'll still be a light download.

[FreemanTheRat]
