Which battle?

I am thinking of making an addon pack for CFS2 to make it like a new 'CFS4'. I don't know which battle to choose though... :-[

There's still a lot to do when it comes to the USSR on CFS2, there are only 3 Campaings around to my knowledge

Leningrad
Stalingrad
Kursk

Battles about the War in the USSR I could think a truck load of.

I might as well suggest you to try to build up "Operation Typhoon": Luftwaffe Attacks Moscow.

But if you're into jets how about this little suggestion?

War in Chechnya
War in Yugoslavia

Those 2 seem to have been forgotten.

Bombardier I prefer you make the addon on the Eastern Front or World war one.

Making a campaign about the Night Bombing over Western Europe by the RAF is almost not possible.

Unfortunualy this Simulator is mostly dedicated to Fighters. Sure you can fly Bombers but you cannot defended it against any in comming enemy fighter.

There for you would only bee able represent the the German night fighters force.

When I fly in a campaign I like to fly for both sides.

What happen to the INJ Bombers campaign you where going making for us.

If its made for small Bombers like torpedos or Dive Bomber you could get away this it.

I just like to clarify some thing here. There is only one identity who can make CFS4. Thats Microsoft , let hope one day they would decide to jump on the fray. Lets hope they will include the Pacific Theter in there next install.

There are just to many Simulator dedicated to the European Theater as I write this post

Spanish Civil War????

I've always liked that particular period since it takes you from the end of the biplane era to the start of the monoplane fighters....

Where else can you have Bristol fighters starting the campaign, have DC-2s rigged as bombers and finish off with Me-109s?

Personally, I'd love to see some WWI action. Can't find a decent WWI sim anywhere, nor a comprehensive addon for CFS 1/2/3, EAW, or il-2. Red Baron 3D seems to be gone from everywhere. I occasionally still fire up Dynamix Red Baron, circa 1991.

Sorry James, I have no plans in the Eastern Front or WW1... :( :( :(

Do you mean about the bombing accuracy at night? I've been pacing and thinking about how to fix that... :(

What happen to the INJ Bombers campaign you where going making for us.


Sorry I haven't completed that yet. I've got pretty much all the missions, but I need to find out which order they go in, and do the campaign file.

If its made for small Bombers like torpedos or Dive Bomber you could get away this it.


Eh?

I just like to clarify some thing here. There is only one identity who can make CFS4. Thats Microsoft , let hope one day they would decide to jump on the fray. Lets hope they will include the Pacific Theter in there next install.


I didn't really mean 'CFS4', I just meant a pack for replacing the aircraft, some scenery, the GSL scenery (goodie! I get to replace the GSL!) so that people can get CFS2 and name their main cfs2 folder something other than Combat Flight Simulator 2 so that the installer thinks that it isn't installed, then they can do another install and with that install they can just put my pack in and hey presto, new-looking sim, although it isn't really a new sim :D :D :D :D.

There are just to many Simulator dedicated to the European Theater as I write this post  and there is not enough representation of the Pacific Theater. Maybe they will include the whole war. Wouldn"t that be cool. Lets hope and pray.


I don't know that the Pacific theatre had much 'sub-theatres' in other words battles as the European. I mean there's the Aleutians, there's Australia (already done though!!!) and Defense (and bombing) of Japan, maybe the early war Singapore/China part. But the European is more detailed in the difference of it's battles, and when there's one battle going there's another as well, unlike the Pacific war. Plus Europe has battles that differ more from eachother. That IJN bomber camp with come along soon though...

Cheer up and do best job you can do.

Thank for giving us the option. Your labor will be highly apprecaited.


Thanks for your feedback James ;)

PS: If you like night fighting over Germany with radar, then your in luck ;)

Sorry, I should've put that down :-[. I'll modify my poll :)

Sorry to hear. Maybe I'll do a WW1 camp one day...

Thanks to everyone for their feedback, and vote numbers for Night over Germany's looking pretty good :D :D :D :D :D

Bombadier thank you for your respond.

Bombadier if you decide to make a campaign on the Night Bombing over Germany. Thats alright with me.

Thats a very interesting facett of the war that has been basically ignored.

I do have some concern with the ability for the Bomber to defend them self from the fighters.

I was just venting my frostration on the big developers like Ubi and microsoft.

Not on the community individual developers.You guys are been great.

Voted WW2 Russia, but a Night over Germany or a WW1 Campaign would also be cool 8)

There's a bunch of Bf-109's and Fw-190's on Akemi's site that would work nicely in the Night over Germany Campaign :)

http://hago003.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

I don't think a Gulf, Iraq or Vietnam Campaign would work cos of the limits in CFS2 :-X
(There's no support for Missiles)


Sorry James, I have no plans in the Eastern Front or WW1...


Why add WW1 to the poll then?

Regards,
Stratobat

Edit: Would be cool to create something similar to MAW for CFS2 8)

Just a observation I notice a while back. But it seems to me with Stiz new Textures you can see a little better on exterior views on the out side while flying night missions.

It makes it a little easier to fly in the night, while the old original textures

[quote]Stratobat very few Bf109 and Fw190 where used defending Germany during the war on night missions. Most were Me110 and Ju 88s.
Its not that your subjestion is a bad one. But what you mostly need are good night equipt Me110

Someone also made an Me-110 a while back, but I can't remember where I saw it. If anybody knows where it is, please post a link.

Will this do? ;) http://www.groundcrewdesign.com/bf110g-cfs2/bf110.htm
