As it's Xmas I want to release this as an ATAG bonus.
It is a 30+ mission campaign designed from the floor up to be TF 4.0 compatible.
It also comes with 13 custom skins for the player Squadron- these have been done by checkmysix (aka keefyboy round here) so are rather bloody nice
The number of missions is NOT fixed, but it is a scripted campaign- however success in some missions will trigger 'bonus' missions or put you in positions higher up in the Squadron- eg Flight leader or section leader.
There are ~10 'bonus' missions so there is a degree of 'replayability' built in- and I'm not telling what the mission success criteria are
- but landing back at Kenley would be a good start
Thjere is also a kills/stats system similar to that used in the REDUX campaigns which will keep track of your kills, missions completed successfully etc.
It is very historically based on the exploits of 501 Squadron during their time at Kenley, from 10th Sept through to December.- even the bonus missions are actual missions that were flown
As such it uses all 3 of the Channel maps brought in with TF 4.0
It also concentrates on the battles that occurred after the 'traditional end' of the Battle of Britain. As such you will be flying the Hurricane at heights upto 30,000ft against 109's who will have an advantage at these heights, so it will not be easy....
Indeed just climbing to height and keeping up with your Squadron can be a challenge- but it is perfectly possible.
If you wish I have done a track of a takeoff/climb- it's 25mb
- might help you get a flavour of what to expect.

There are also several takeoff types- some missions are cold starts in the revetments, others are the more normal 'stream' takeoff from the runway, but there are also some 'mass scramble' takeoffs
It is not an easy campaign- both on the player and the computer- there are some missions with 100+ AC and I use clouds extensively (the new extended clouds is highly recommended
). A pretty good rig is recommended (and no- I'm not doing a 'lite' version- sorry but the missions just doesn't work as far as I'm concerned)
There is a rather long readme which I would encourage you to read
It is also still somewhat beta- I wanted to wait till 4.01 was out but had set a Xmas deadline for myself- so all feedback is welcome- I expect to have to do a few 'tweaks' when 4.01 is released
