    Patch 018 - Changelog - announcement

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is staying safe and well.

    TFS continue to work on improving your flight sim experience. Patch 18 has something for all players.

    Single player improvements and new skins now available.

    We hope you enjoy the improvements in this update.

    Regards,

    TFS Team

    *** Values (flying, shooting, tactics, awareness, ...) of all AI default
    skill levels (Rookie, Average, Veteran, Ace) adjusted for new and
    existing missions.

    *** Hurricane IIA/IIB/IIC/IID including late versions and Tropical
    models had overheat schedules revised.

    *** A new Battle of France mission, The Battle on the Somme, has been
    added. It has five playable flights.

    *** Scenery added and fixed to the Scegga airfields in the Desert Hawks
    campaign.

    *** Briefings revised with more accurate information for missions 03,
    08, and 10 of the Desert Hawks campaign.

    *** Missions 03 and 10 of the Desert Hawks campaign and missions 07 and
    10 of the Eagles over Tobruk campaign revised to have more accurate
    Hurricane fighter-bomber behaviour.

    *** Mission 1 of the Adler Angriff campaign has been updated. The player
    is now the flight leader, and will meet the Do-215 over Marquise West
    rather than the English Channel. These changes will make escorting the
    Do-215 much more feasible. Thank you, reddit user u/Titan828, for making
    us aware of this issue.

    *** The skins used in the Desert Hawks, Eagles over Tobruk, and On Ne
    Passe Pas! campaigns have been updated for historical accuracy and
    variety, and slides have been updated to match.

    *** The Desert Hawks, Eagles over Tobruk, On Ne Passe Pas!, and Rising
    from the Ashes campaigns, along with the single missions A Busy Morning,
    Aftershocks, Attack of the Eagles, August Attrition, The Battle Goes On,
    Corpo Aereo Italiano, Corpo Aereo Italiano II, The Kanalkampf, No
    Respite, The Old and the New, Royal Rodeo, and The Southampton Blitz
    have all had their RAAF, RAF, and RCAF flights revised to feature as
    many aircraft with the serial numbers and tactical markings of actual
    aircraft that served with the depicted squadron in real life at some
    point as possible. These aircraft have been given positions in the
    flight that are appropriate for the rank of at least one pilot who flew
    the specific aircraft. Some of these aircraft use specific skins,
    including the newly added RAF ace and Hurricane skins (see below).
    Slides have been updated to match.

    *** All Stuka flights amended to return to base at low altitude after
    divebombing.

    *** Playable squadrons in the missions Attack of the Eagles and The
    Kanalkampf have been altered for historical accuracy.

    *** The speed of playable Stuka flights where the player is not the
    flight leader have been amended to make it easier for the player to keep
    up. The briefings of all Stuka flights have been similarly amended with
    the proper speed.

    *** New slides added for the mission Christmas Convoy.

    *** Briefings for the mission Christmas Convoy amended with the proper
    name for 804 NAS.

    *** A new skin depicting the aircraft flown by English RAF ace Pete
    Brothers has been added for all variants of the Hurricane Mk.I
    (excluding the tropical and nightfighter versions).

    *** A new skin depicting the aircraft flown by Scottish RAF ace Sandy
    Johnstone has been added for all variants of the Spitfire Mk.I.

    *** Two new skins depicting the aircraft flown by Scottish RAF ace James
    Rankin have been added for all non-tropical variants of the Spitfire
    Mk.Vb.

    *** A new skin for RAF 1941 European Hurricanes has been added to all
    non-tropical variants of the Hurricane Mk.II.

    *** Four new skins depicting the aircraft flown by Luftwaffe ace Adolf
    Galland have been added to all non-tropical variants of the Bf-109 F-2.


    *** Four skins depicting early 1940 Luftwaffe Bf-109s have been added to
    the Bf-109 E-1 and Bf-109 E-3.

    *** A new skin depicting 1939 - mid 1940 Luftwaffe Bf-110s has been
    added to the Bf-110 C-2.

    *** Added moving vehicles to player airfields in several missions of the
    Desert Hawks and Eagles over Tobruk campaigns.

    *** Removed Axis flak from isolated desert regions (not near any roads
    or fortifications) in the Desert Hawks campaign and the Operation
    Crusader portion of the Eagles over Tobruk campaign.

    *** Added Axis flak to coastal areas near roads, as well as Axis
    aircraft and scenery to Gazala No. 2 airfield, in the Desert Hawks and
    Eagles over Tobruk campaigns, as well as the single mission The Old and
    the New.

    *** Removed stray cableless barrage balloon from single missions set in
    the Southampton/Le Havre area.

    *** Applied minor update to the slide captions of several missions.


    *** Changed the tactical markings of John Dundas' Spitfire X4586 from
    PR-D to PR-O in the single mission The Battle Goes On, and updated
    slides to match.

    *** Changed the briefings of the single mission The Old and the New to
    say that the date is 14/10/1941, in order to better reflect the C.202's
    service history. According to Osprey Publishing's book Italian Aces of
    World War 2, the C.202's first victory was scored on 30/9/1941.

    *** Added a new skin depicting the aircraft of RAAF ace Clive Caldwell
    with victory markings for 14/10/1941, and incorporated it into The Old
    and the New. This skin has been added to all tropical variants of the
    Tomahawk Mk.IIb.
