[Nil]

Hi guys!

Please welcome our new follower:

71st_AH_Scojo !

Thank you! it helps Tante Ju a lot to follow this topic!

 

@Gambit21: Thank you very much, please continue. No custom mission involving Ju52 is being made so far, even less a campaign, so you have the honor to make the first campaign for Junkers 52. A lot of people are waiting to try your campaign!

 

@ Norbiee: I love the Hungarian skin , feel free to ask me to use it when we fly together!

 

@Falke: Welcome! 

We will pleased if you join us online! (use our discord channel https://discord.gg/mYtxxw8 )

 

@Hames123

I am learning too to use the mission editor. Your idea of mission is great!

 

Some nice screens from mission we are doing in the TransportGeschwader!

 

 

Instrument Flight Rule Training! 

With Tante Ju, you even fly with no visibility!

 

I was shot by the AA with fuel leaking,  but I managed to land safely with no engines.

Another proof that Tante Ju is a great sturdy Airplane! I really LOVE her!!

 

My Love, My Plane, Her name is "Julie" , same nickname the French gave to her.

Beautiful skin made by Don Quijote 

 

We are here to do the Job and the Job is Done!

Gents,

 

The new TAW server allows the Ju52 to resupply airbases with internal cargo flights.  Therefore, if you see me in the TAW server and want to do a JU52 sortie, please ask me to join in.

 

Regards

Iam loving flying the Ju52 in paradrop missions in TAW.

So fun.

[curiousGamblerr]

Looking forward to flying Tante Ju with Nil and Odessa at FNBF this Friday!

[6./ZG26_5tuka]

guys look at these beauties. Looks so nice in Hungarian skin (my country)

 

Felt inspired by your post    You can get it here if you like it: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/27358-ju-523m-g4-4k-wip/?do=findComment&comment=443961

[Norbiee]

very pretty I downloaded it already.

[migmadmarine]

Just flew my first campaign flight out of the pocket in part 4 of the campaign, something very satisfying about flying an un-armed ambulance Ju-52 at tree top level for such a long trip. Kudos to the lone 109 I had escorting me for so quickly dispatching the two Yaks that attacked me, took only a couple of superficial hits.

Gents,

[Gambit21]

A few more screenies from the scripted campaign.

It's coming along nicely, if slowly.

 

Since flying the Ju52 is mostly about the simple act of flying, I'm going for atmosphere above all else.

Some pucker factor here and there as well. 

[PapaFlo]

Great News Gambit. Really looking forward to fly this campaign.

Ai My Friend Nil.. this Topic is Nice

[migmadmarine]

Flew another supply mission in the campaign in and out of the pocket last night, made it to the airfield in the pocket fine, landed, dropped off the cargo and after 15 minutes or so in the air on the way back engine no.1 suddenly quit. This sim doesn't have random failures modeled does it? I might have over-revved the engine, but I've got engines 1 and 3 mapped to the same throttle, so I'm unsure how I could have killed the one with out the other. Didn't take any hits that I'm aware of either. In any case, have to say the aircraft handles quite well on only two engines.

Do you have all of your other engine management bound to the same keys?

[migmadmarine]

I have my engine management controls bound to the same keys, and make individual adjustments by selecting engines if required. Generally the 52 seems to not need too much attention.

Hey Thenorm, welcome!

Normally there is no random failures.

The engine 1 quit because:

Over heating (we have to keep cowl shutters and Radiators open to full all the time)

OR the RPM is too high (because to long in the "take off mode")

Does this helps?

 

Also, congratulations for doing the solo campaign! it is a nice experience.

[hames123]

Does dropping the paratroops in random expert capture objectives for the German team?

[Norbiee]

It gives a Point to that specific victory zone. I belive you need 3-4? points? So its allways worth it. Sorry for late answer.

[Norbiee]

Some nice pics of Friday night bombing

[[DBS]Prody]

Guess what , winter is coming in FNBF:

A touch of winter from me too. From TAW. Very cool video BTW

Just Testing our Ju-52 Co-Op Mission. Winter, heavy Snowfall, heavy Wind, Turbulence, Flak, Nighttime, flying into the Pocket. 

[GrendelsDad]

From the scripted campaign...an early morning jump in an attempt to halt the Russian counter attack.

if you(not u Gambit)see this picture and do not understand what the JU52 brings to this and future games then I cannot be your internet friend. It is simply awe Inspiring.

[Gambit21]

A few more shots of the scripted campaign...

 

A supply drop at the front - and a little reminder that things don't always go as planned.

However as the soldier demonstrates, no need to stress about it.

 

Also, I want the name of the contractor who built that tower...outstanding work.

 

 

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Is everything going well with the campaign Gambit? Every picture you have posted so far looks incredible

[Gambit21]

Going very well, if not as quickly as I would like.

I probably end up spending upwards of 10 hours per mission (and at times much more problem solving a bug or strange logic bugs in the editor) just making sure timing and atmosphere is just how I want it. Test...adjust....Test...adjust....

Oops that doesn't work...find a workaround...look up and 4 hours have gone by.

 

Mission editor logic is quirky, and navigating that burns hours.

It's not like the old editor - that is both very good and very bad.

 

It's looking good though.

If you or Nil are interested in helping test drop me a pm.

A bit of fun thought i share

[=AGW=justplainjames]

Looks like I’m late to the party. 

[LLv24_SukkaVR]

I just played a mission in campaign mode with Ju-52 where i was supposed to drop paratroopers in a field right next to an occupied enemy airfield. Immediately when i was in a drop zone i ordered troopers to jump and at the same time i got shot down by fierce enemy AA from the airfield.

 

ow the hell are you supposed to survive that kind of mission? Seems pretty hard, if not impossible.

[Nil]

You need to pray, to wish that Tante Ju will hold. also, you can wait for you escort to go there to distract the AA.

Good luck!

[Guest deleted@30725]

First thing I did when I got the ju 52 - Simulated single engine failure. Land, takeoff. No problem

[Gambit21]

Another campaign shot.

I might just provide the first 5 missions as a free "market test" as it were.

Depending on response/downloads I'll either continue with it and complete the campaign for the upcoming system, or work on other things until the Kuban map arrives and move on to the A-20 campaign

which I know will have plenty of takers.

 

Creating these campaigns is a piss load of work, which is fine...but those hours need to be wisely spent.

Wow, that's a really cool shot. It's a shame though that the troopers all share the same face skin!

 

I noticed it when I was messing around in free cam and looked at them waiting to jump - robot clones! It kind of ruined the shot so I had to do something else.

[kitsunelegend]

You know...as cool as the Ju52 is...

 

 

I just want, no NEED, my C-47 Skytrain to be added. I'm practically in love with that plane! xD

 

 

Still, the Ju52 will hold me over till then. I just hope she won't be hurt too much when all my flight time is given to the C-47 if/when shes added.

They should put a different developer face on each of the 12 guys.

That would actually be a fun little easter egg.
