Official Free Historical Campaign "Wild Mustangs" - P51D

[wiscstar]

Hey, Jaegermeister,  I started running your Wild Mustangs campaign and found that all of the skins for the 370th FG are locked out.  What's going on?  Is there a bug in the campaign files?

[BOO]

Have you got "custom skins" selected in the game settings?

 

Failing that, you might want to repost in the  approriate section of the forum rather than Skins and Templates. Another player reported an issue with skins not showing there for which a fix exists.

Hey... you are right, there is an error in the "settings" file and the skins should not be locked. I will send in a correction for the next update.

Perfect campaign, Jaegermeister! I looked forward to each mission until I reached the base and started the next one. Really great work. I can't wait for the next one! The review in Czech only is here: https://www.alan-grey-page.cz/recenze-wild-mustangs-jaegermeister/

Thanks, hopefully that skin assignment issue was cleared up a while ago! That's still one of my favorites, although it's a toss-up with the B model in Overlord.

I started to refly the campaign today and i see the planes appear with the default skin without markings.

I checked into it and you are correct. The first 4 missions do not have updated skin settings since the skin names were changed on the P-51D a while back. I have corrected the assignments and I will submit the corrections very soon.

 

Thanks for the report!  👍

@Jaegermeister Followed your recommendation and started playing this campaign. 8 (I think) missions in so far. Really great work. A really immersive campaign. Love all the extra visual details and mission variety. Particularly liked the mission with the early morning formation take off with landing lights in the dark, then flying into the sunrise above cloud level. Beautiful!

I'm even warming to the mustang and the better ballistics of the 50 cals. Though I do miss disassembling enemy planes with 20mm.

[Jaegermeister]

Thanks, I am happy to hear you are enjoying it. The Mustang B model is my favorite plane, but the D Model is a close second. It's almost so good that it's boring, LOL.

 

The corrections to the skin assignments are not in yet, but should come with a few other updates soon.

Yea I noticed some of the missions don't have the custom skins.

 

I'll be trying the Overlord campaign next for sure.

 

A couple of times now I've noticed a locomotive speed up once it's damaged and detached from its carraiges. It speeds up until I struggle to keep up with it, comes of the rails and continues driving through fields until it hits something. I've seen this happen outside your campaign as well. Seems odd, not sure how realistic it is 😂

I hope you enjoy Overlord, It's my favorite Campaign to date. I may have to rework it one day when I have time since I continue to learn more about the ME all the time and some things can be improved.

 

The runaway train engine is a known bug. It has been thoroughly reported and should be on the list to be corrected somewhere.

I saw it. Thanks you! Today restarted the campaign. Just detected that the plane with the O in the tactical number uses the basic skin instead of the custom one.

Yes, your flight leader in the first mission does not have a personalized airplane. I don't remember why I did that at this point since it was 2 or 3 years ago. I think it may have been explained in the briefing at some point and I changed the text but not the skin. Maybe the Flight Leader is the North American representative that told you how to fly the plane and wished you good luck... 

 

Thanks for confirming that the files made it into the update though!

But in the next missions it happens the same. 8 P-51s. 7 with 370th skin and that one with generic. I know it's only a little detail, but perhaps I have a bit of OCD with historical skins. 😂

I'll go back and look at it when I have some time. Right now, I am really tied up with some other things.

Sure! It's just a little detail. Thank you very much!

Mission 7: Cattle Drive
Planes don't have squadron skin al player plane and flight don't have tactical numbers. B-26s don't appear at rendezvouz point.

Mission 8: Buffalo Hunting
Just a little detail. Bison 3 (B_3 plane) has incorrect callsign (woodbine)

Mission 9: Last Stand

All 8 Mustangs have generic skin without tactical markings.

Apparently there is some sort of issue that has occurred with various patches, and the skin assignments have been deleted from the missions I did not correct with the last patch. I would guess there were changes with skin assignment files in game, but I have no idea. I will have to go back through it and do it again.

 

Thanks for the observations.

Yes. Probably they changed the name of some skins or something like that so all the missions and campaigns that used some skins get affected. 

 

Another minor detail I detected in most missions is that the altitude on the briefing and on the route of the map is different.

 

Thank you very much!

That's something else I remember correcting before. I would guess that at some point I used older files to upload an update and reverted to a previous version. With so many files, It's hard to keep them all straight sometimes. I'll try to get to that fairly soon and go through all the files again.
