DFLion Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 As a prelude to the Normandy Campaign follow the most successful Gruppe – III./JG54 as they hastily evacuate from France under the continuous Allied onslaught. In spite of their very heavy losses the Gruppe achieved 100 victories which was personally congratulated by the ‘General der Jagdflieger’ Adolf Galland. You have eight serviceable Focke Wulfs which you must evacuate back to Germany – intact? Watch out for marauding Allied fighters!

DFLion Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 How are you 'Irishratticus72' and jeanba, the skin I used is 'fw190a8_4k_jg54-weiss_v4' - the aircraft flown by Hptm. Robert Weiss. Look up in 'Skins' Fw190A8 and scroll down until you find the skin, then place it in the game folio under skins. I am going to ask our tremendous skin makers to make a 'Staffeln' of III./JG54 skins for the Fw190A8 prior to the introduction of the Normandy Campaign.

A few hints to survive this mission 'Irish' - you must quickly eliminate the Typhoons without using too much ammo and losing too many Fockes - then you can take on the 'Jugs' - you have to get through? Good luck. DFLion

E69_julian57 Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Hello @Irishratticus72 I see you use the fw190a8_4k_jg54-weiss_v4 skin I made, if you want I can make the three fw's that go with it. 1
DFLion Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 How are you E69_julian57, thankyou very much for your great skins - keep up your great work, they certainly help in the realism of my missions. I am sure 'Irish' would like the other Fockes - there is actually eight of them in this mission (including Hptm. Weiss black 10). I will use them again in the Normandy Campaign when released. DFLion
E69_julian57 Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Sorry @DFLion I got confused, I'll do the rest of the fw. 1
DFLion Posted June 30, 2021 Author Posted June 30, 2021 Thanks E69_julian57 for doing the rest of the Fockes, very much appreciated. I will be making some FW190A8 III./JG54 missions in the Normandy campaign and the skins will add to the missions realism - keep up your very good work. DFLion
E69_julian57 Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Hi @DFLion The eight fw A-8, I made a new skin of the Hptm. Weiss black 10 to look the same. Spoiler https://mega.nz/file/E7gUlKIC#iIjagpn8VU3hAYScVL3SD8LkQLrA5tPo1FLdJH3w3g4 3 2
sevenless Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Excellent mission and skins! @E69_julian57 any chance you also could do Hans Dortenmanns (2./JG54) Fw190-A8? Apologies if you already did. skin here by Tom Tullis: FW 190 A-8 'Red 1 + I' of Lt. Hans Dortenmann of 2./J.G. 54, France, June 1944 (hobbyvista.com) Die Luftwaffe im Modell: Hans Dortenmann - Fliegerass und Modelle mit Geschichte (rlm.at)
DFLion Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks for doing the skins so quickly E69_julian57, great work. The pics look great and it certainly adds the historic realism to the mission. As mentioned before when the Normandy map/campaign is released I will use them in a series of missions. Hans Dortenmann's A8 skin would be great to have as well, if you haven't already done it. DFLion?
DFLion Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 Now doesn't this pic look historically good! Thanks again E69_julian57. DFLion 1
E69_julian57 Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Hi @DFLion The Hans Dortenmann skin I made some time ago, I will look for it. The skins I made I put them in the mission, do you mind if I post the mission for the community....? https://mega.nz/file/F6Q02TSD#b--Bl-bb0ojuqRXZ-BkCBh1I325Ss9UPzrNb9_-bI_k This skin I made a long time ago with an old template, if I can I'll update it.

DFLion Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 Thanks again E69_julian57 for the Hans Dortenmann skin. You are very welcome to post the mission again for the community with your updated skins. DFLion 1
E69_julian57 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Mission created by @DFLion III JG 54 skins added, enjoy. https://mega.nz/file/1upmTSYY#BY6GNwQ9OYGKcyp1UHX4Lg-PL5QsFYsTtRf0P-bGsr4 1 2
DFLion Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 This mission was very popular with our members, so I have updated to Version 4.702b (see attached). I am also working on a new mission which incorporates this ex-Luftwaffe JG54 base at Florennes/Juzaine. RAF Squadron 19 with their Mustangs III's had moved into the base as the Luftwaffe and German army retreat back to Germany after Normandy. Their first mission was to bomb the railway marshalling yards at Liege as the German army moves back over the Rhine under the pressure of the advancing Allied armies. The mission will also include a Mustang III 'top cover' which hopefully will protect the Mustang fighter bombers. JG26 Focke-Wulfs are very active over the battlefield. I will shortly post 2 missions - 'the ground attack' and the 'top cover' using our new Mustangs P51C's - I really like this aircraft - big thanks to Han and Jason, this aircraft will be a big player over the Normandy campaign.
