Hi mate.

This is (as mentioned above), my absolute goto MOD if I ever have to re-install the game (which I did recently).

 

Just wondering if anything ever became of v9.0, is it still in the works?

 

Cheers, Mysticpuma

 

G'Day All,

there is an update coming, just adding in little bits and pieces. have had a bit of real-life stuff going on which has slowed me down a little bit.

Thanks Puma, for the nice compliments.

regards Rob.

Rob, maybe we should have waited a little and this could have been an awesome Christmas present ,😁😎🍻

 

Seriously though, this is my absolute favourite mod and I usually only install 4 (wing vortices, mpeffects (that give much more realistic smoke/fire effects), and the delay despawn mod)).

 

Reading that a V9 is still in the melting pot is fantastic news, I await further news with great anticipation 🙏🎊

 

Cheers (and Merry Christmas 🤪😂)

Hey Rob,

     Glad to see all is well down under.  I'm still working on the Tuskegee Airmen set of missions which I've modified since we last spoke and now have nearly 20+ 

missions.  Just getting them straightened out in an attempt to remove any errors, etc.  Will share them with you as you've always been supportive of my nubee efforts at mission building and looking forward to version 9 of your MOD.

Regards,

Bill

Thanks Bill,

G'day All,

One of the things I have been working through was the quick combat map when setting up the flight. it always bothered me that for in game supplied quick mission scenarios the allied airfields showed the Russian Star as the map marker. finally worked out which files to change to get a British marker to show on the map instead. Now on the hunt for the text file that assigns aircraft types to select for each airfield so I can replace Russian types with British and US types. and then the text file that controls the map information relating to front line positions etc. to change that from Russian front info to be info more in Line with Nth Africa/Tunisia locations.

regards Rob.

G'Day all,

Didn't seem right seeing a Romanian aircraft over the desert, so transferred them to the Regia Aeronautica.
changed the default texture and the first skin in the list to have a desert theme, so that when in game scenarios from the Quick Mission selection spawn an IR80 it will at least look the part. 

regards Rob.

Amazing work ❤️😎

[Off_Winters]

G'Day All,

as a sideline, I started looking at WWI stuff a little while back after our forum member Beebop requested a few standalone changes to trains for his install, which I did. Sadly Beebop has since passed away, but I thought I would expand the little work I had done so far on WWI a bit more to include some more aircraft.

regards Rob.

@Off_Winters Hi M8, probably i've found a conflict related  to tactical codes with your  (fantastic) MOD after last game update.

Still under investigation...

[SARFlytitus]

Love this MOD and as a temporary solution i've deleted  all files related to Tactical Codes located in "MODS\Kuban_Autumn-1943_Desert_Beta_8\data\graphics\textures\common"

Thanks for the heads up mate,

I'll double check the files. be aware that in the Desert Mod, I removed the player usable tactical codes. So if your not seeing codes in your game that is how its supposed to be. But you can get them back by doing exactly as you have done.

I did this because the game was applying codes over the top of AI controlled aircraft (wingmen, enemy etc) which was spoiling the historically based skins I have included.

regards Rob.

PS very close to releasing V9 now, a couple of small things to adjust after recent game update, and some new work being done in the background around shipping, but I'll let the guys doing that work explain more when the time comes.

[Mysticpuma]

As mentioned, one of my absolute goto mods. Can't wait for this to see the light of day 🤟

For now the last one ...

 

 

Is the B-25 flyable?
Where can I find it?
Because it's not on the list.

[jollyjack]

Not Flyable alas, and it's on Haluters, filter for historical.

Rob,

      I really loved the desert I.A.R 80, looks really good.  By the way I finally figured out how to create a campaign for the Tuskegee Airmen and hope to post it soon; however I will provide you with the single missions for the entire campaign if you wish.  Looking forward to seeing version 9 of your MOD and have used your skins and the  tactical markings for all my missions.  

Regards,

Bill

[Mysticpuma]

Praying for it's arrival. Such a great mod.

G'day Bill that would be fantastic mate. I'd love to include them.

Its coming mate,

just doing a little bit of ship work and some tidying up of files to bring it up to game version 6.02

regards Rob.

[Falcon41]

Rob,

     As promised attached are newest Tuskegee Airmen missions for your use.  I've created a scripted campaign for them also which can be found under the campaign section.  Am looking forward to seeing your latest and hope this finds you will.

Rob,

     I made a mistake in attempting to send all the new Tuskegee Airmen files to you; however, I believe I've corrected it by dividing them into three smaller packages.  The missions are numbered and should be flown as numbered 1-27.  I've enjoyed your MOD and have used your skins as well.

     Take care and I look forward to your updated MOD
