Hi Guys,
I may have the distinction of being the first online visitor to this map.
Very interesting.

Just one observation. The Brief says to get those "Spitifire IIa's" off the ground.
However, the IIa is not available in the aircraft selection options at any of the bases.

Cheers.

Yep, I actually have to change that in the briefing, the map was originally made to include the Spit IIa's but was later removed. So I'll definitely change that.


ATAG_WatchMan S! and thanks.

I really loved it during takeoff from the French base. Taxied out, lined up and then all heck broke loose as my takeoff run was interrupted by bombs hitting all around. Pieces of turf and metal were showering towards me and one big hunk just went over my cockpit.

I was so intent on getting off that I didn't reduce power on wheels up and the engine started smoking. Bummer! I waited until the raid was over then landed.

Looking forward to getting on it again today.

Cheers

I really got immersed - as if I was scrambling during the middle of an air raid. It was very believable thats for sure.

My first thoughts were to get off the ground quickly followed by I need to climb, take a best guess heading and get at the Bastxxxs! They were high for sure.
